Severity of Mets’ Francisco Lindor’s injury unknown | Can team win without him?

PHILADELPHIA — Mets shorstop Francisco Lindor felt a sense of “confidence” when he fouled off the second pitch of his at-bat to start the game against the Phillies on Sunday.

On Friday, he was removed after stepping awkwardly at second base, feeling his back “tightening.” After sitting out on Saturday, his first missed game all season, this plate appearance was going to be his first real test, and in his mind, the worry fluttered away.

Mets’ Francisco Lindor’s MRI results are in: ‘Still in a little bit of pain’

NEW YORK — Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor felt vulnerable on his way to get his back scanned Monday morning.

“I was praying on my way to the MRI (that) the scan was going to be something day-to-day,” Lindor told reporters at Citi Field.

This was unusual for the Mets’ de-facto captain. Usually, Lindor’s the one showing strength in times of weakness as far as baseball goes. Now, it was he who was worried.

Will the scans reveal structural damage, taking him out of the lineup during a playoff race and essentially ending his bid for the 2024 NL MVP award?

When Lindor heard the results, he tuned out the rest of the world.

“I listened to a certain point. As soon as they said, ‘No structural damage,’ I tuned out,” Lindor said smiling. “The medical name, I can’t give you that. It’s not a strain. Everything looks good from what I heard the first two minutes of the doctor talking.”

Naturally, the organization breathed a sigh of relief when they learned of Lindor’s results. With the Mets facing the Nationals, who have the third-worst record (68-81) in the NL, in a three-game set, he could be back for when the Phillies come to Queens for four games beginning on Thursday.

“Honestly, relieved,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “Really good news because we didn’t know what was going to happen.”

When Lindor is finally ready to play, he doesn’t expect to be completely pain-free. At this time of year, no player feels the way they did way they did back on Opening Day, 150 games ago.

But the two-time Gold Glover has been playing with discomfort on his back for a while now and still managed to thrust himself into the MVP race against Dodgers’ phenom Shohei Ohtani. If he can get back to that level of discomfort, Lindor says he’ll manage.

“I’m expecting it to last the rest of the year,” Lindor said. “But it’s going to be manageable, that’s how I’m seeing it right now.”

Lindor played one inning on Sunday after feeling his back “tighten” in the series opener against the Phillies on Friday and sitting out Saturday’s game . After launching a ball over the second baseman’s head and out of the reach of the center fielder in the top of the first, Lindor felt his back get “a little weak” in his first few steps to first base.

Then, after making a routine ground ball look difficult at the bottom of the first, Lindor knew he was done for the day . He didn’t come back out in the second inning, shortstop Luisangel Acuña taking his spot at short.

I wonder if the Beckhams suffer from the pruney, shrivelled fingers that come from bathing in briny waters? How Kevin Costner keeps his white shorts so sparkly. And whether Beyoncé experiences that unique discomfort that develops while sitting in one’s soggy bikini bottoms for too long? 

These are just some of the questions I ask while admiring the 0.1 per cent aboard their boats each summer. For many, the season is initiated by the lengthening of hours in a day, or the beginning of the school recess. For me, the start of summer is marked by the first paparazzi images to emerge of the actor and climate activist Leonardo DiCaprio cruising in the sun.

No one enjoys, nor lives the superyacht summer so completely as DiCaprio: the usually reclusive 49-year-old seems to come alive the moment he sets foot aboard the deck. At a time when the news cycle is ordinarily sluggish, I am endlessly entertained by DiCaprio’s life of leisure, whose chief entertainments include gambolling through the waves astride a jet ski (no carbon footprint there eh, Leo?) and keeping in proximity to whichever supermodel’s derrière he has deigned to squire this year. 

His current squeeze appears to be the brunette Italian model Vittoria Ceretti (keep up, guys) who, at 26 years old, is thought to be the first girlfriend he has engaged beyond the quarter-century mark. I don’t begrudge DiCaprio his instincts. He represents the person — like a young Jack Nicholson — we all aspire to be. He sates every tiny appetite. And embodies the essential creed of not seeming to have a single care. Not for him the petty vanities of six-packs or full body tanning: he just wants to let it all hang out, unleash his inner five-year-old, and plunge gleefully into the sea. 

This summer has found DiCaprio holidaying aboard the yacht Koru, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, to whom Bezos became engaged last year. The world’s second-richest man has afforded DiCaprio some downtime as one of the cluster of celebrities sucked into Bezos’s orbit. Singer Katy Perry and her little Legolas Orlando Bloom have made up the odd sextuplet seen bobbing about Sardinia this past week. 

The Koru took four years to build at the cost of an estimated $500mn. It’s just one of the post-divorce assets Bezos has acquired — along with celebrity acquaintances and ferocious biceps — following his split from MacKenzie Scott in 2019. The 417-foot schooner is said to be an homage to his new beloved, with a busty figurehead at its bow that bears an uncanny likeness to Sánchez. As with his US Vogue shoot, and his too-tight cream trousers, Bezos’ mid-life era acquires another cliché every month.

But whatever. Every billionaire should have a big boat: it’s what being a billionaire is all about. Bernard Arnault’s Symphony boasts interiors by Zuretti, a cinema and grand piano, while the Octopus, built for Microsoft’s Paul Allen, has a large pool, a hangar for two copters and two helipads. Big yachts are, as pointed out by the FT’s unofficial boat correspondent Brendan Greeley, “a terrible asset”. And yet, they remain an almost irresistible indulgence for the super-rich. After all, what better way to boast your superpower credentials than to round up flocks of famous people, get them to take their clothes off, and hold them captive for your sport?

Sadly, the charms of superyachts evade me: I see them only as prisons on the sea. The thought of being moored for days with only bare acquaintances — while wearing a bikini, for God’s sake — strikes me as one of the more appalling ways to spend one’s down time. And that’s before the nagging nausea of all that floating, the persistent threat of drowning or being whacked across the head. All those bloody ropes, all that tack and jibing. And while, yes, I know that superyachts aren’t really boats as I might recognise them, there’s still no escaping that fact that, you know, it’s all quite wet. 

Add to that the bougie cocktail parties, the endless peacocking, plus the dilemma of how to pull off a cocktail dress while having to pad around in deck shoes, or worse, bare feet. I hope Bezos retains a podiatrist aboard the Koru: DiCaprio may be unkempt but he is by no means gnarly, and I need to know someone is attending to his toes.

I envy not these people on their superyacht adventure: examining Bezos’s onshore excursions I feel not one jot of jealousy. I’m just thrilled he’s ponied up for more DiCaprio content. “The king of the world”, forever: our prince of the vacation seas.

Introducing The Superyacht Forum Live: Virtual Focus Groups

A series of panel sessions identifying pertinent industry issues and bringing together experts to debate the solutions….

After more than a year without face-to-face meetings and events, it’s time for the industry to start looking forward to The Superyacht Forum Live in November 2021, to be hosted once again alongside METSTRADE in Amsterdam.

In the lead up to the flagship event, The Superyacht Forum Live will be supplemented by an exciting new conference programme, comprising a number of virtual and physical elements. While full details of the programme will be revealed in the coming weeks, it will include the ongoing curation of One to One Digital Dialogues (of which an already-extensive library can be viewed here ), Live Tours in key European hubs, and the newly-introduced Virtual Focus Groups. 

Taking place throughout this year, the Virtual Focus Groups will be a series of invitation-only workshops and panel sessions covering an array of specific and hard-hitting topics. Designed to bring together relevant experts and stimulate serious and strategic debate, the sessions will drive ideas for change that will feed into a next-generation version of The Superyacht Forum Live in November. The Virtual Focus Groups will be recorded and broadcast on-demand on SuperyachtNews.com alongside our insightful reporting and analysis.

This new series will kick off with a dynamic discussion about ‘The Future of Marinas’ and is set to take place in July 2021 via video conferencing. The inaugural edition will take on an innovative format, comprising a candid debate on three future-scenario case studies. While spaces for the session are limited, interested parties and experts from within the marina sector, as well as its ancillary sectors, can request to take part by contacting Eleanor Shepherd .

In the meantime, look out for an exciting announcement on SuperyachtNews.com regarding the full programme of The Superyacht Forum Live in the coming weeks. Through its various elements, there will be valuable opportunities for anyone and everyone to have their say and get together safely in the right places with the right people.

While it may rain frequently in St. Pete, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, oftentimes only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again.

If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in St. Pete, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be canceled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.
