“#Mets have come together to regain spring training momentum<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n It felt so very Metsian, if extremely insensitive to share the observation, that their spring training of great positivity \u2014 their showcase of promise and hope \u2014 ended suddenly and prematurely due to a pandemic.<\/p>\n

Yet to watch these same Mets do their work at spring training 2.0 is to conclude their strong vibe seems to have survived their offseason 2.0 and all the anguish it inflicted upon the world. Shoot, even their most important missing player, Robinson Cano, re-emerged at Citi Field on Tuesday following the sort of unexplained absence that has become an industry norm.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of that momentum we were starting to build in spring training is starting to come back,\u201d Rick Porcello said, as the team reconvened after taking Monday off, their eyes focused on their July 24 opener against the Braves at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we kept that vibe throughout the pandemic,\u201d Luis Rojas said. \u201cThe same camaraderie that we had in the first camp, it\u2019s going on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the Astros sign-stealing scandal seeming like it took place a year or two after a meteorite wiped out the dinosaurs, it can\u2019t be underestimated how crucial a decision it turned out to be for the Mets to eject Carlos Beltran from their manager\u2019s seat the very week that Rob Manfred\u2019s Astros report indicted Beltran. For all of the short-term embarrassment the decision and its disclosures caused the franchise, it also instantly liberated them from the sign-stealing shackles.<\/p>\n

That first camp at Clover Field, under the leadership of Beltran\u2019s replacement Rojas, proceeded jovially and relatively injury-free; Michael Conforto strained his right oblique in March and is back, whereas Noah Syndergaard app<\/a>eared fine when camp stopped in March, only to wind up undergoing Tommy John surgery. They remain a high-ceiling group and to date have not seen anyone opt out; with Cano back, only reliever Brad Brach is missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team is such a close-knit group,\u201d Dom Smith said. \u201cWe\u2019re all definitely relieved and happy that we\u2019re back here together and we\u2019re just having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The downtime featured of course not only the tragic deaths of so many due to the coronavirus, but also the civil unrest and social<\/a> change sparked by a Minneapolis police officer\u2019s alleged murder of George Floyd that was caught on video. Smith conducted an interview with SNY\u2019s Steve Gelbs last month in which he opened up about some of his encounters with racism. From that, Smith said, \u201cA bunch of guys on the team reached out and just showed their love and support for me, for my community, for the things that I\u2019ve gone through, for the things that we\u2019ve gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Communication during the downtime was paramount, Rojas said, and it helped them navigate their return when the guys didn\u2019t get to see much of each other, thanks to the social distancing rules that divided them into smaller groups. With Opening Day approaching, however, the entire group gets to interact more.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the field we\u2019re having fun,\u201d Rojas said, accurately. \u201cThey\u2019re yelling at each other. They\u2019re getting on each other. They get excited when one of them does something great out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith said they\u2019re deriving joy and humor just from wearing masks on the field.<\/p>\n

Having Cano rejoin the club, \u201cJust to see him today is obviously heartening and fun,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHe\u2019s definitely a big part of this team, a big part of this clubhouse and a big part of what we want to do. He\u2019s helped so many of us young guys with the mental side of the game<\/a>. Just to have him is a big uplift for us. We\u2019re happy to have him, and we\u2019re glad he\u2019s here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coronavirus could of course end things quickly once again, which would be unfortunate for reasons well beyond the Mets\u2019 pennant chances. So here\u2019s a suggestion to Mets fans: Enjoy this moment of prolonged optimism, this great vibe 2.0, no matter where it goes from here. If it doesn\u2019t turn into something memorable, it remains something to admire as we witness it in real time.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
