BASEBALL IS BACK!
Spring training is a time to iron out things for MLB teams, and in the case of Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez: Perhaps time to think about ordering a new cup.
The Mets and Red Sox faced off in Spring Training on Monday afternoon and Paul Blackburn was developing his rapport with Alvarez when a pitch got tipped by Alex Bregman and rocketed right into the catcher’s bean bag.
It’s always amazing to see how announce teams react to moments like this. They have to acknowledge what happened for the audience, but also remain professional.
