I ended up selling my tickets to tonight's game, but it's the return of (i) Carlos Carrasco, AND (ii) the Mets black jerseys, being worn for the first time in 9 years. That's right baby. We don't need fancy acquisitions, we just need to get healthy. Carrasco marks the start of that path. deGrom is back next week, Syndergaard and Lindor to follow, along with Michael Conforto righting the ship and Alonso's continued 2nd half assault mean good things for the Amazins over these final 2 months. Javy Baez wasn't a fancy acquisition?
I hate the black jerseys 
I'm largely indifferent to the black jerseys, but if it gets the plebeians excited, then so be it. Baez is a massive defensive upgrade over Jeff McNeil and JD Davis, and once Lindor returns, it means those 2 guys can platoon which is probably a good way to maximize both of them, and keep only one of them on the field at any given time. He'll hit homeruns, but he strikes out so fucking much that it will undoubtedly be infuriating. I'm fine with it, although I would have preferred either of Bryant or Story.
