TAILGATE WITH THE 7 LINE ARMY ON TUESDAY

 

Come hang out before heading in to cheer on our FIRST PLACE METS!

In years past on weekday outings we'd meet up at Mikkeller or McFadden's. Sadly, they're both out of business. 

So even though it's a Tuesday, we're back in the lot! Don't let that stop you from coming down early for some tailgate time before the heading in to the game.

If you're cheering with us, have at some point in the past, plan to in the future, or are just looking for a fun time. COME ON DOWN!

We'll be tailgating in the Marina Lot before heading inside, and we highly encourage you to come hang out. 

The game is at 7:10pm. Things should start up in the lot around 4, but feel free to roll down earlier. 

If you're new to the group you're highly encouraged to come by. DIVE RIGHT IN. Introduce yourself and get the camaraderie started before we get to the seats.

If you're unsure where the Marina Lot is, you can type "Marina East, Corona, NY 11368" in to Google Maps.  

Even if you're not sitting with us, you're welcome to come by. More the merrier, so tell your friends.

If you'd like to bring grills, drinks, and snacks, you're more than welcome to, but please respect the lot and make sure you CLEAN UP after yourselves. 

Also, nobody likes a mooch, so please don't go rummaging through coolers that don't belong to you. If you're feeling generous and you'd like to share, that's totally your call, but come prepared. 

Let's plan to wind-down around 6:15pm to be inside before the National Anthem and first pitch.

METS ACCQUIRE MINOR LEAGUE PITCHER TROY MILLER

 

METS ACCQUIRE MINOR LEAGUE PITCHER TROY MILLER

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 19, 2021 – The New York Mets today announced they have acquired right-handed pitcher Troy Miller from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jacob Barnes. The Mets designated Barnes for assignment on June 14.

 

Miller, 24, has made six starts (seven games) between New Hampshire (AA) and Vancouver (High-A) and is 3-2 with a 4.93 ERA (19 earned runs/34.2 innings) with 15 walks and 33 strikeouts.

 

The 6-4, 210-pounder was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018. He played three years at the University of Michigan after graduating from Soquel High School in California.

 

Barnes appeared in 19 games for the Mets this season, going 1-1 with a 6.27 ERA (13 earned runs/18.2 innings) with five walks and 18 strikeouts. He was claimed by the Mets on October 30, 2020 off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels.

Former Mets Pitcher Jerry Blevins weighs in on Sunscreen and Rosin.

Jerry Blevins wrote an article for the NY Post about how MLB's baseball is slippery and how pitchers had to find ways to "fix" it. It doesn't sound like a lot of Major League Pitchers don't consider this cheating but part of the "gig". It is an interesting read.

 From the NY Post.

 Of those 8,000+ pitches, I had sunscreen and rosin on my forearm for 95% of them. Is it cheating? Technically, yes, it’s against the rules. Did it give me an advantage over the hitter? No.

 

Why would I use it then? The answer is simple: The MLB baseball is slippery. Dangerously so.I struggled. Then I asked my teammates if they had a tough time gripping the baseball, too.I struggled. Then I asked my teammates if they had a tough time gripping the baseball, too. “Oh, yeah,” they said, chuckling. “The big league baseball is trash.”

 

“What do you do about it?” I asked.Enter the gray area.
