@EconomPic Would you be enjoying this season more if they had six more wins with Pete and Nimmo? The biggest indictment on Stearns isn’t signing Bichette to a fair market deal or giving up 2 prospects for a top 20 SP. it’s not getting enough pitching depth and relying on oft-injured players
@nickythegood You nailed this. The Mets would be leading the NL East if they had Alonso. Senga would have an ERA of 1.37 and Peralta would be leading the Cy Young conversation. Can we move the fuck on already? Stearns has been a failure so far but Alonso wasn’t making a difference.
@BrandonTierney I’m pretty sure the plan was to sit fastball in a specific spot with a 2-0 count. McMahon got the location he wanted and saw fastball out of the hand but got a pretty nasty splitter instead. It’s not like he swung for the fences and missed a curveball in the dirty by a 2 feet.
@SaraEisen@NYCMayor Here’s a novel concept; why not improve the system so that thousands of jobs and billions in investment is not beholden to the whims of one man. Also, you mention he sold his Chicago penthouse. Wouldn’t that mean another wealthy person bought it?
@Connor_J_Hughes@Paulie_Bruz Isn’t the motivation to potentially entice either the Cardinals or Titans to trade up to be SURE they get their guy, provided it isn’t who the Jets were going to take? That way they would get their guy and additional draft capital, potentially recouping the 3rd they lost.
@CaptainCons 2/2 The students who stand to benefit most are the ones without the means to attend these schools, and even with need-based aid would still be a small minority of the student body. The vast majority of the students were going to be successful regardless.
@CaptainCons 1/2 The argument is pretty clear; the marginal utility gained by the ultra wealthy who attend these prestigious schools is extremely low. The main goal, although not explicitly stated or acknowledged, is to maintain social status.
@Connor_J_Hughes I mean, this just sounds like you’re stumping to get your source a job. Why on earth would Wink “not come cheap” when he is tied to ZERO other DC positions?
@McShay13 What does the Jets’ draft history have anything to do with how they would develop a QB going forward? Also, why would LV be viewed as a remarkably better landing spot for a young QB when they have one of the worst offensive lines in football and considerably less draft capital?
@BlueshirtsBreak He sucks and could very well be gone but this is the most aggressive tank I have ever seen in my lifetime. Also, they have won more games than the Colts since they traded Sauce!
@BarstoolBigCat I’m sorry to highlight this since I was on the winning side but I was losing 144.1 to 92.2 going into tonight with Bijan and the Rams D. The point return touchdown won it for me.
@EconomPic I think that assumes Diaz wanted to stay, which reports were that he did, but him not letting the Mets match would seem to indicate otherwise. No whether or not the Mets should have made their best and final in the first place is another discussion.
@PSLToFlushing They signed a guy to the largest contract in professional sports history last year. If payroll goes down by $60 million this year I’ll admit I was wrong, but three guys the fans loved left after 6 seasons and 2 playoff appearances.
@PSLToFlushing I get being upset in the moment that two favorites have signed with other teams, but I don’t understand why the implication then becomes that the Mets won’t spend, or are turned off by signing big free agents.
@ConnorJRogers Was Christian Gray a legit prospect coming into this season? It seems like since he got burned in the Championship against Ohio State he’s turned into a pumpkin
