I can tell you, it was an Amazin’ Day. Went grocery shopping, took a nap and went to the gym. Then I came back and heard the reports from what was going on at CitiField.<\/p>\n

New unis! New numbers!<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the alternate blue away jersey. The amazin’ thing about this isn’t the resurrection of the 1987-style script or the black-home style outlined numerals (that will be hard to see) but that it’s a pullover. Same style and silly neckline as the Nationals’ alts. This would appear to supplant the blue away jersey they had been using, but infrequently. I preferred the version with the grey letters.<\/p>\n

Will they pair this with grey pants? Blue? Orange?!? I’d like to see the latter.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now to numbers. Brett Baty<\/strong> whose 22 went to Juan Soto<\/strong>, revealed he’d be wearing No. 7 this year. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see that number in circulation again — although 8 would better. Seven had been unissued since Marcus Stroman<\/strong> took it upon himself to shelve it in 2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"Other numbers for new guys on the 40-man roster: Jose Siri<\/strong> wearing 19, which I believe is pulling even with 6 as the most-issued number in team history (I’ll check on that). Infielder Jared Young<\/strong> (who?) in 29; and Jose Azocar in 30.<\/p>\n

The newly arriving pitchers: A.J. Minter<\/strong> 33; Clay Holmes<\/strong> 35; Frankie Montas<\/strong> 47 and Griffin Canning<\/strong> 55. Then there’s the fringey waiver claims and surprise bullpen candidates I don’t know well yet–Dylan Covey<\/strong> in 54; Justin Hagenman<\/strong> in 51; Kevin Herget<\/strong> in 57; and Austin Warren<\/strong> in 44.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now. Have an amazin’ day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
