Why must you be the all knowing narrator?

Halfway there. Love Q. Stearns didn't bring him back to the Mets for some reason even though he was available in March.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

The one time Ronnie was able to show a personality on TBS was when Lauren Shehadi asked Bob Costas to name one Justin Bieber song. Ronnie was able to do it immediately and he pounced.

Don't get the Ron Darling on national TV hate. He can't have a sense of humor like on SNY because Bob Costas and now Alex Faust doesn't provide any opportunities. Instead Ronnie is more observant than on GKR telecasts. He noted Contreras trying to deke Suzuki and most recently with the double swing.

Never check your swing. If you even think about swinging, it's a strike.

Dear Mr. Belichick,

Here at The Mets Newsletter, we can give you a "soft landing" in media. Would love your take on Pete Alonso's pending free agency and such.

Ollie Connolly @ollieconnolly.bsky.social · 2h

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
