Glad Hunter was ok.

Any thoughts on his pre-pitch readiness as a contributor? Not hands on knees nor running stance. Relaxed - but too relaxed?

The Twins broadcast wouldn't show the replay, but the Mets broadcast?

@MadMax pointed out to me the other day he's not been on the field since (and in fact according to UmpScorecards he hasn't had a plate since 4/6/25)...so maybe he's not entirely okay.

Scary stuff. At least he has workplace protections. Us amateurs have whatever private insurance we may or may not have...with maybe a NASO supplement. 

Be safe out there. Everyone.
