Mark Vientos was an experiment that went bad. He can’t field. He can’t run. He can’t hit. And he thinks he is great at all of those things. Jared young is much more productive and should get the playing time. Vientos trade value is virtually non existent but he needs to be moved off this team ASAP. He just isn’t good and his lack of self awareness makes it worse. He is very good at exaggerating his accomplishments on instagram. So that’s one thing. @Mets
@metsbatflip1 If (and it’s a big if) Luis robert returns, he must be told he’s now a bench player. This outfield needs to remain as-is for years to come.
Even though this season has been very tough to watch, the outfield of the future is here and it’s exciting. Soto, Ewing and Benge will anchor this outfield for many years and will likely be the 1-2-3 at the top of the lineup eventually. These 3 will do a lot of exciting things in the years to come. I just hope this front office doesn’t give Luis Robert a day of playing time in the outfield when (if) he comes back from injury. He’s been replaced. @Mets #LGM
Ever since David Peterson shined as a leverage reliever in the 2024 NLDS, it has been apparent what his highest and best use is. He is a great reliever and has shown to be a subpar starter. Keep him where he shines and helps this team. Now, the @Mets just need to since the Manaea problem.
Last night was the first time the @Mets had a walk off win where I didn’t even react. No celebration. Nothing. Why? For one, they should have never been in that situation to begin with. But bc of terrible pitching and bonehead managing, they were once again trying to pry defeat from the jaws of victory.
Second, I’m in Miami and have to listen to probably the worst play by play announcers in all of baseball. The @Marlins announcers are a complete joke. They’re hatred towards the Mets is greater than their love of their own team and it’s pathetic
Last, the win further exposed how bad this team is. Their starting pitching is awful (Peralta just sucks), their bullpen is so overworked and it’s only end of May, and to rely upon MJ Melendez to do the job is not A recipe for success.
On the bright side, they’re 2-0 since they matched their worst record in 2024 and they are 1-0 since Jameis Winston came on field to hang with Luke Weaver. @Jaboowins
@EZpitchsavant@Mets I love when people like you make these statements as if they are sitting in the front office. It must be so great to be privy to such inside information. And me, I’m just dense. lol
This is just click bait nonsense. There is literally zero chance the @Mets trade Lindor. Hes an elite shortstop and we don’t have any SS in our system to replace him. He leads the team when he’s out there and he will be on this team for the rest of his contract. One day his number will be retired as an all time Met. Just stop this trade nonsense.
I’m a big fan of AJ Ewing. But batting rookie call-up that is a speedy, lead-off style hitter in the clean up spot tells you all you need to know about what an utter failure David Stearns is. Juan Soto had Aaron Judge protecting him with the @yankees. He had Pete Alonso protecting him last season with the @Mets. Now he has AJ Ewing. It’s a sad state of affairs and I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how David Stearns is still employed. He is the biggest failure in sports right now and the entire sports world is laughing at the Mets bc of him.
The 2024 @Mets had the exact same 22-33 record at this point in the season. Jorge Lopez threw his glove into the crowd and declared the Mets were the worst team in baseball. Then the magic happened. Grimace, OMG and the rest is history. While I’d love to thunk that history could repeat itself, it cant. This Mets team doesn’t have that in them and there is no magic run coming to save them.
@efropoker@bleednucksblue Stearns is the chief executive of the team. He constructed the roster. He chooses the coaches. His analytics team makes the lineups. He makes the decisions. Explain how baseball works that I’m missing. Please.
