Stearns deserves blame too. GMs just almost never are fired during season. I’m sure he’s on the hot seat when the offseason comes.
We gotta stop on the Alonso thing. He got an insane offer nobody in baseball touched besides the Orioles…who won’t sniff the playoffs either. Mets had a historic collapse & won nothing outside of 2024 with Alonso & Nimmo here. Good numbers and a good power hitter, but no defense and slow. He also had an ego in that clubhouse. I know it rubbed some players the wrong way. I heard it. The Mets didn’t want to run it back. He’s not a leader of a team. He got what he wanted. He got paid & a chance to be a “leader” for a young team that doesn’t have that kind of player on their roster. There’s reasons other teams didn’t sniff an offer that fans don’t realize of what goes on behind the scenes. I mean there is not a single team that gave him an offer. That should be telling enough for everyone.
Going to Polanco clearly was wrong as he has not been healthy. Nimmo trade was getting off that contract & opening spot for Benge. The issue is running back Baty/Vientos & not getting the likes of Murakami/Okamoto/Andujar/Contreras. Stearns has certainly failed…but pointing to Alonso & Nimmo as why is just wrong.
it’s pretty disgusting how people have treated her online. she’s an incredible actress and an amazing supergirl.
guarantee when she’s in Man of Tomorrow everyone will love her scenes
Step 1) Watch Carlos unable to make sound baseball decisions on a nightly basis more multiple years
Step 2) Watch the Mets endure one of the worse collapses the sport has ever seen last year
Step 3) Fire the ENTIRE STAFF but retain Mendoza
Step 4) Lose 12 straight game at the start of the year and be the most underperforming team in baseball 2 straight years
Step 5) Stand by Mendoza string publicly through, lie to everyone saying he’s doing a great job
Step 6) continue to be absolute trash after a terrible start
Step 6) Fire Mendoza a calendar year too late
David Stearns, you are fucking incompetent
He is absolutely is too stupid to understand how stupid he looks admitting he never heard of One Battle After Another and then using grok to look it up
i think the larper jokes are fun but to act like Absolute Batman isnt being read by tons of real comic readers is pretty ridiculous
larpers dont have the power to carry books the way Absolute Batman is being carried. im a longtime reader and its easily my favorite ongoing rn
