"We don't have to listen to what everybody else wants us to do with our lives," Tebow said during a telephone conference call. "We get to do what we want."
Tebow will be allowed to leave the instructional league for his job as an analyst for the SEC Network, then return.

and on it goes:
Seth Lugo had a blister his last start, so Bartolo Colon will pitch Saturday on regular rest and Lugo will wait until Sunday to face the Braves.

"What are there, 300 other Minor League guys that are there? Probably more than that," outfielder Jay Bruce said of the Mets' system. "I don't even know. I don't particularly care -- nothing against or for (Tebow). He's become a number at this point. There are a lot of other guys there working and trying to get to the Major Leagues. Now he will be as well, and we'll see what happens."
...
"A lot of us played multiple sports growing up, and had a chance to play them at high levels," outfielder Curtis Granderson said. "The absence of not playing them in a long period of time makes it definitely difficult -- not impossible, but definitely difficult."

@AnthonyDiComoTerry Collins says he "got distracted" trying to set up his pitching, which is why he didn't pinch-run for Flores. "My fault."
he needs a rest

Backman says he quit and was "disrespected"; idgaf. also wd rather cut my ears off than listen to Francesa do an interview.
Rubin:
Terry Collins expressed the possibility of having Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz piggyback in a start the next time Rafael Montero's spot came up. The Mets can delay that Montero start a few extra days because of an off day on Thursday.

Terry Collins said his preference would be to give Noah Syndergaard extra rest rather than bring him back Sunday on regular rest in order to delay the slot that had been occupied by Rafael Montero. Of course, that would necessitate using Jacob deGrom and/or Steven Matz on Sunday against the Twins -- or a non-optimal option that isn't clear. There is no intention of using Montero in the rotation again.

Jack: Terry Collins 3 weeks ago “You hit,You play”. Terry Collins last night ” We need to give Jay Bruce time to work out of his slump” Do you see Sandy making a change regardless of a wild card spot. #FreeConforto
Klaw: I haven’t heard anything about them making a change but my God do they need to.
