Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Shay Anything podcast. You're going to get all three of us in today's

episode, and here's why. We recorded with Keith as usual on Thursday. We talked a lot of baseball,

and that conversation is all still relevant because of the Mets postponement on Thursday night,

which is what we're about to talk about.

And by we, I mean Andy Martino and myself.

And we'll get to do baseball stuff with Keith in just a second.

Andy, before we started taping, I told you that I really didn't know where I was going to begin here on this episode.

There's a lot to discuss.

We had obviously this all started with the strike in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Then it came to Major League Baseball.

We had several postponements.

We had Dom Smith and sang his really eloquent, emotional, painful words.

And then that went viral.

And then the Mets did what they did.

They came out on the field at 708, their usual time for first pitch.

And they came off the field and the Black Lives Matter t-shirt on home plate.

So this being a Mets podcast, it would be malpractice not to at least discuss what the Mets did and what this means in the context of 2020, the lives of black people in America.

And how much do you think this matters in the grand scheme of things in terms of what baseball players and athletes are doing with their platforms and the difference that they can make.

So what was your reaction to what we saw, not only with what the Mets did on the field, but with what

Michael Giporto and Robinson Kano and Dom Smith and Dalbatans is set after.

Well, I think, Doug, being asked for my reaction is an interesting thing because I completely

agree with you that it would be malpractice to not discuss what is probably going to be one of the more historic Mets moments in the history of the franchise walking off the field before playing a game in the name of racial justice.
