Max Scherzer (strained left oblique) returned to New York today. The Mets plan to discuss with him tomorrow when he’ll face hitters in a live BP setting for the first time since getting hurt.

(Buck Showalter said Friday that step was coming soon, so it sounds like any day now.)
Mets now aren’t ruling out top prospect Francisco Alvarez catching in the majors in 2022. Prefer to see him at Triple-A first but has 1.000 OPS over last month at Double A.. https://t.co/modJdgRebc

Can’t wait to see “The Troll” in Queens. This guy oozes confidence and love of the game. Fist bumped my kids through the net before every at bat last night. pic.twitter.com/8FG48PPekP

Last year Francisco Alvarez had 14 pass balls in 59 games caught - so far this year? 2 in 36 games. Wild pitches by catcher are not tracked on Baseball Reference so you have to go look at individual box scores or check other sources - still that is a pretty impressive improvement

A lot of references to Conforto's jump from (AA) to the (MLB) '15 as justification for promoting Alvarez.
— Christopher Soto (@SotoC803) June 13, 2022
Major difference though...Conforto was 22 yrs old, had 133 minor league + 182 games of college experience. (318 total)
Alvarez is 20 yrs old and has 191 total games so far.
I’m so sorry, #Mets fans, but the daily podcast could not be saved.💔 It was a pleasure to have produced this project and I’m truly glad we all had this time together. I thank the @Mets for having allowed us all to assemble these last several months and will forever be a fan. pic.twitter.com/U97x5ZJnvQ

The Mets Police:
- Why the Mets should trade Pete Alonso for Tommy Edman or Ke’Bryan Hayes. - The Mets Police with his tounge firmly in cheek compares Pete's WAR to other players who have way less HRs and RBIs but a far great WAR for some reason.
Mets top OF prospect Alex Ramirez has a hit in 6 of 7 games in June. Worth noting BB/K rates by month

New York Mets purchased Jack Aker from the Atlanta Braves on June 14, 1974.
New York Mets traded Marvell Wynne and Steve Senteney to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Junior Ortiz and Art Ray on June 14, 1983.
New York Mets selected David Peterson in first round (20th pick overall) of free agent draft on June 14, 2017.
| 1963 | In a 10-3 win over the Reds at Crosley Field, Mets outfielder Duke Snider hits his 400th career homer off of Bob Purkey. With his sweet left-handed swing, the future Hall of Famer will finish his 18-years in the major leagues with 407 round-trippers. |
| 1965 | Reds starter Jim Maloney, who strikes out 18 batters, no-hits the Mets for ten innings but loses 1-0 when Johnny Lewis connects for a homer in the eleventh in the Crosley Field contest. In August at Wrigley Field, the right-hander will again give up no hits through the first nine innings but records this time a no-hitter when his teammate Leo Cardenas connects in the top of the tenth, providing the only run in Cincinnati's 1-0 victory over Chicago. |
