Mets' Bo Bichette learned art of clutch hitting from dad, Dante: 'He’s always ready for the moment' Any time Mets third baseman Bo Bichette is asked about the rather astonishing clutch hitting numbers he has produced during his big league career, he is quick to credit his dad, Dante, the former All-...

Really well-written piece by @snytv.bsky.social's Jon Harper on how Bo Bichette's hitting machine father Dante -- who was influenced by Ted Williams -- helped develop Bo into MLB's best hitter with RISP. Hooray for old-school hitting approach! sny.tv/articles/met...

Maidin mhaith, brother! Labhrím Gaeilge gach lá -- at least for the last couple of weeks since I started learning. I've also been learning 'olelo Hawai'i for the last three years. I love helping sustain two indigenous languages and by extension, being an ally to two indigenous peoples.

😀Go raibh maith agat! I recognize some bits and pieces of your second and third sentences. Lemme guess: "It is beautiful"? and "Have a safe trip"?😬 Whether I'm right or wrong, does this mean that in you, I now have someone to practice my Gaeilge with?🙏🏿

I would love to see that live. Gotta check the GAA website. I made sure to end my first Oz holiday back in '99 by seeing an Opening Round Sydney-Port Adelaide match at the SCG.

Hey, #Mets Bluesky Fam! Very excited to let y'all know that for our home (and season) opener, I'll be watching the action live from Galway, in the Republic of Ireland! It'll be my first time there and I've started learning Irish on Duolingo. Ireland, I can't wait to meet you in person! 🇮🇪

Move to the West Coast and teach! It’s perfect — night games in the East Coast start at 4 pm out here, after the work day ends, they’re over by 7:30 pm, leaving a few hours left to get to bed early.

No way! Seriously??!!

😬 I was very eagerly hoping #Mets might have been able to pry him away from the Reds. Now he may need Tommy John surgery. Glad we went out and got Freddy instead! #dodgedabullet

I remember him. Was he caught twice?

Most of my posts are #Mets and MLB-related, but some of you may know that since '99 I've built equal passion for Australian rules football, its elite AFL competition and my favorite club, #freodockers. Sad news tonight: legendary TV voice, Denis Commetti, one of my early footy teachers, has died.🥺

I admit, being a man of a certain age, I remember the Mayor's Trophy Game from my childhood. It was a charity benefit game which raised funds for "sandlot" baseball around NYC. It took place from right after the Mets joined MLB in '62 and the last one I remember was played in '82 at Yankee Stadium.

On that note...True story: When I was a little kid, I thought the annual Mayor's Trophy Game, an in-season exhibition between the Mets and Yankees was fake because it wasn't on TV or radio!😁

How is a national team fake?

Not in its entirety. I would hope MLBPA would educate the players in all applicable languages about the policy's nuances. The majority of players voted to ratify the existing CBA and abide by its rules. I just can't believe Profar, after an 80-game ban, would willingly risk greater punishment.

Too easy and too obvious. Something tells me there may be more to this story than meets the eye.

Huge news out of Atlanta. But this makes me wonder, as it might you: Surely no one could be this uninformed to be convicted twice, right? Was this some kind of mistake, or is there some banned ingredient so obscure or in such small quantity that Profar may not have realized he was breaking a rule?🤔

Love my #Mets, but whoever's running the sound at Clover Park? 🙄 I don't need to hear the "Mexican Hat Dance" every 2 seconds -- especially NOT when the Mets are in the field. Fan prompt music traditionally is played when the home team HITS, to inspire rallies, not when it fields.

That’s why I said I understand and respect the decision to move on from him.
