Chapter 1: What recent moves have the Mets made in their rotation?
It sure sounded like David Stern said something cooking yesterday when they were introducing Bo Bichette. My preference is to add a starting pitcher. I've been open and honest about that through the entirety of the offseason. And so he has done that by going to the Brewers and getting Freddie Peralta and Tobias Myers. Sprote and Jet Williams go. Peralta 29 at 17-6 last year, 2.70 ERA and durable.
95 starts over the last three seasons. In terms of Bichette and his press conference yesterday, here he was. He says the reality is setting in. He's going to be in New York full-time, at least for this season.
When I landed, I looked around and saw the city, and it hit a little bit different than it does when you come as a road player. I think as a road player, you kind of come and you try to ignore all of it.
And when I landed, I kind of looked around. Just ignore all of it, yes. Don't take it all in. Just stay in your hotel room and don't come out until you play baseball. Well, he actually went on to say now he's taking it all in because he's here. Don't take it all in. Okay. Don't. Well, he wants to. Here's the manager, Carlos Mendoza. Big, big change in the roster going forward.
Definitely different, you know. but exciting at the same time. Appreciation and respect from a lot of the guys that left, but also exciting with some of the new ones that we got in here. A lot of gamers as well.
Gamers, that's right. Here was Bichette on playing third base going forward.
I was open to doing anything if it felt like the place I needed to be. and like I said, it became very clear that I wanted to be a Met.
Yeah, $47 million with two opt-outs, well, I'd be a Met too. I would think so.
In terms of playing with the great Juan Soto... Special player, incredible competitor, someone who has matched pretty much every moment he's been introduced to, World Series, playoffs, things like that.

Chapter 2: How does Bo Bichette feel about joining the Mets?
So to play with one of the best players in baseball... And there's a few guys on this team, not just one. But, yeah, I'm just excited to see how these guys can make me better.
And so that was yesterday, and the Mets kind of stealing the thunder of the Yankees with the Peralta move because earlier in the day, the Yankees were having themselves an afternoon with the Cody Bellinger news, five years, $162 million to return to the Bronx. You're welcome. The Nets were exactly what you guys needed last night. Yeah, but we had a team meeting. Our team had a team meeting.
That is incorrect, actually.
They're getting ready to play this, as Josh Hart said.
We didn't have a players-only meeting. Y'all dragging that. I've decided we didn't have a players-only meeting. I don't know who said it, who did all that. We didn't have a players-only meeting.
Well, somebody said it. We didn't say it. We were going off of what was reported. Yeah, which apparently was wrong. He did say that they talked. Well, that's a meeting. That's a meeting. Guys talk all the time. It's not a meeting. I hear players like me. They shut the door, they locked the door, and they yelled at one another to figure things out. There was no meeting.
But they were talking to each other. You know what the meeting was? We got the Nets coming up. We're going to be fine. Come on, yeah. So I told Al, I woke up this morning. Got this minor league team coming in here. Come on, we can't lose this one. I thought I saw the final screen. Your eyes are a little blurry when you wake up. I thought I saw 120 to 96. Okay.
And I said, God, they got blown out again. And then when I woke up, I wanted to see the box score. I saw 120 to 66. I was unbelievable. Oh, my God. I mean, Nets couldn't hit anything. No, and the Knicks were hitting everything.
Up top, Zaire Williams, a three, no good. Rebounded by McBride. Left to right in the front court. Give it to Shamich. Straight on three. Buries it. And a timeout called by Jordy Fernandez. Just a minute and 17 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Knicks lead by 40.

Chapter 3: What was the outcome of the Knicks vs. Nets game?
All right, let's get to Buffalo and the Bills and Terry Pagula. This was a very interesting press conference yesterday as we heard from Pagula and Brendan Bean. I'll have audio from Bean coming up next hour. I've got to get to some of that. But here was Pagula early on in the press conference.
My decision to bring in a new coach was based on the results. of our game in Denver.
Now he would go on and reference the catch that wasn't a catch, but then also said he didn't fire the coach because of the catch and blah, blah. It was really weird. He would go on to, and this is the clip that has been, I cut it up a little bit, has been all over the place. The feeling after the loss.
I want to take you in the locker room after that game. Why? I looked around. First thing I noticed was our quarterback. With his head down, crying.
Yeah, at least this wasn't an emotional decision. I'm going to fire you after one game because everybody was crying after it.
Wow.
Talking about impulse.
Jesus.
The head coach is responsible for how much the players put into the season, how hard they play, what it means to them. Because that head coach is standing up in front of that team, talking to them every day. And those players reacted the way that they did was because, you know, they know that they let their head coach down. They know that they let their fans down.
