Since the Mets are playing the Red Sox today you guys should check this out.

In 1986, a little roller up along first led to an unlikely friendship that lasted more than 30 years. Find out how Mookie and Buckner became best friends after the 1986 World Series.

Jerry Blevins retires.

 






I wish you well Jerry on your future after your playing days. I know you'll succeed in the future. Maybe in broadcasting. Would be great to have him at the QBC eventually. 

Syracuse Mets and Onondaga County Team Up to Provide Free COVID-19 Rapid Testing for Fans to Attend Syracuse Mets Games

 


Syracuse Mets and Onondaga County Team Up to Provide Free COVID-19 Rapid Testing for Fans to Attend Syracuse Mets Games

April 26, 2021



Testing will take place on the day of Syracuse Mets home games Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. There are no games on Mondays this season. This gameday testing is available for fans who are attending the Syracuse Mets game on the same day. Fans will need to register in advance at https://covid19.ongov.net/appointments/testing-registration-form/

The tests will be administered outside NBT Bank Stadium in clearly marked areas. All fans will be directed to an initial screening area. Those already with proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will proceed to one of the gates clearly marked for entry into the stadium. Fans without proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be directed to the testing tent where they will check in, get tested, and wait for the test result. After receiving proof of a negative test, those fans can then proceed to one of the entrance gates. Fans should plan accordingly as the test may take up to 30 minutes to deliver results.

Since the testing begins more than four hours before all games, fans can come early to get tested and then return later in the day for the game with proof of negative test already in hand.

Fans are encouraged to get proof of a negative COVID-19 test ahead of time in order to reduce the amount of people needing a test at the stadium and the wait time.

Proof of full vaccination is only valid if the individual has received their second Moderna or Pfizer shot, or first Johnson & Johnson shot at least 14 days prior to the event date. Negative COVID-19 tests must be dated within 72 hours of the event if it is a PCR test, or within 6 hours of the event if it is an Antigen test. The Syracuse Mets will be screening fans upon entry to the stadium, including temperature testing.

Tickets for the 2021 Syracuse Mets baseball season are now on sale. Fans can purchase tickets at the Onondaga Coach Ticket Office at NBT Bank Stadium or over the phone during regular office hours (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or online anytime at syracusemets.com.

Opening Day is scheduled for Tuesday, May 4th at 6:35 p.m. at NBT Bank Stadium. Please follow the Syracuse Mets on social media or check our website for the most up-to-date information on 2021 Syracuse Mets tickets, promotions, and more.

Booing Lindor. Why?


The Mets fans are at it again. Booing a player of theirs who has signed a big contract and is getting a slow start. Does Francisco Lindor look like he's dogging it? Is he doing what players in the past have done and are spending more time with outside projects/going out than trying to right his game? Does he look like he doesn't care? To all these questions, I say no. Lindor doesn't look like he is or does any of these things.

From Cleveland.com

Francisco Lindor

Lindor’s season did not begin until late April last year after calf and ankle injuries sidelined him for all of spring training, but the four-time All-Star had no trouble hitting once he made it back. 

In his first 15 games, Lindor slashed .263/.306/.474 with four home runs and seven RBI. While his strikeout numbers (14 in 57 at-bats) were higher than usual, he managed a .275 average on batted balls in play. Lindor is a career .276 hitter in March/April who typically surges in May where his average jumps to .309 with a .909 OPS. Lindor had his best 15-game start in 2017, when he hit .328 with a 1.039 OPS and 10 extra-base hits (including four home runs) while striking out just 10 times in 60 at-bats.

Read more here

What does SNY say?



 


Guys it's the first month of the year. The Mets have Lindor for over a decade. You can be frustrated but don't boo our players that don't deserve it. If he was dogging it or didn't care about playing, I kinda get the booing, but cut Lindor some slack for now. This seems like a recurring theme when a star player doesn't light the base paths on fire when they first come to the Mets from another team. Just relax folks. The team will right itself.

Therabody recently announced the launch of RecoveryAir, its clinical pneumatic compression device, which will also be integrated into the team’s recovery routine. Additionally, Therabody will enroll the Mets’ players, coaches and medical experts in Therabody University, the company’s education division, on ways to effectively take care of themselves and optimize the benefits of Therabody’s devices and solutions.

Mets were selling game used bases last night while game was still being played.

 


I bet these went flying off the shelves last night with the way deGrom Pitched. 

deGrom is ridiculously good.

 


I know that headline I posted is obvious right? Just as obvious with how good deGrom is. Not only did he he pitch a lights out game, striking out a historic amount of hitters, 50 strikeouts in 29 innings. knocked in the game winning RBI himself and had his second career shutout. It's unbelievable what we are are seeing right now. Not only did he do all that but he also got the Mets off that three game losing streak.






Even the Nats Social Media team is tipping it's hat. Our Catching Feeling with John Saponaro host John Saponaro

@QBConvention is going to have an announcement soon.

 


I know this sounds like one of those annoying teasers but I wanted to let you guys know that we are going to have a really cool announcement soon about some more virtual Q and As. Why are we not telling you who, when, and what this is about? Well, we have to get the exact times and dates nailed down. But I just wanted to give you folks a heads up that we have still been working our butts off still trying to do some cool things during this pandemic. I'll drop some hints of who it will be. He played for the Mets in 2006. Had an iconic moment, and is referred to by Mets fans a lot of the time with one name.

Check out the QBC Channel on YouTube to catch up on all the previous things we have done.
