@dcnym15 A part of that is likely because Peralta is pitching. Since Freddy arrived he made it clear that Alvarez was the guy he was most comfortable with - both as a teammate & catcher.
@Met_Gal allows the opener to face the top of the order to start the game, while the bulk pitcher (Manaea in this case) can potentially go five innings and only face San Diego’s best hitters twice, while seeing the bottom half of the lineup three times.
@garythedoorman Tough to right now with all the injuries. The only other options are guys that shouldn’t be on the roster in Brujan & Ibanez.
Once they start getting some guys back, absolutely agree he shouldn’t continue to get handed opportunities unless he starts to earn them.
@AnthonyDiComo The injuries are not his fault, players underperforming are not his fault.
Raley facing the righties and Weaver facing the lefties is his fault.
Taking your second hottest hitter out of the game for a platoon matchup is also his fault.
The Mets fanbase deserves better representation of what real baseball fandom looks like on social media. We have way too many Frank the Tank Jrs running on the timeline.
Up and coming fans don’t realize he’s a character and his antics are staged. If this triggers you, you’re part of the problem.
Time to level up. Let’s revolutionize the fanbase. 🫶🏽 #LGM
@BenVerlander Good thing it’s April and completely irrelevant since *checks notes* they have played zero games against their division and 5.5 months to get back in it
@FoulTerritoryTV@TimBritton What are you even talking about?
Soto didn’t travel with the team as he rehabbed. Their relationship is not relevant to the losing streak & the losing streak is the reason you’re talking about them.
