@HowieRose There will never be another Howie Rose!

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@HowieRose I know I am one of thousands upon thousands of mentions you will receive here tonight and in the coming days, weeks, months, and on top of what you have receieved all season long since you announced your retirement. But there is a thank you on my end rhat I still want

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@HowieRose others company, a Mets game and appreciating every call, story, detail that you brought to those 3 hours a day, especially about your family. Your words meant more to us than just a baseball game. And those memories with my Dad I will cherish forever.

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@SouthwestAir vouchers because "it wasnt our fault". You not only screwed her but so many other people on that flight and wont even get her back home until 3pm tomorrow when she was supposed to be home 2.5 hours ago. Last I checked, flaps not working is a you problem, not my wifes

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@SouthwestAir my wife has been trying to get home for hours. She had a layover in Denver and missed her connecting flight because YOUR plane didn't work and had to be escorted to the gate by the Fire Department and then tell her to kick rocks and not give her hotel or food

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

Fuck David Stearns and all leadership of the @Mets that decided Pete Alonso shouldn't be a career Met

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

Really like watching Vientos and Mauricio swing the bat in the top of the zone while the pitch is hitting the dirt back to back #Mets

The Mets David Stearns Timeline: Buckle up. it's a long one. Because I am fucking done with the David Stearns defenders. #LGM

2024: David Stearns takes over a basically ready made roster. He throws a bunch of 1 year contract darts at a wall because he wants to rebuild the core of the team in his identity, so he has no interest in doing anything major. The darts mainly stick (he still only brought up Iglesias and Vientos because his other darts sucked or players got injured). The Mets go on a magical run with the most likeable team since 2015 and get within 2 wins of the World Series. David Stearns masterplan will have to wait.

2025: as a result of 2024, David Stearns is gifted one of the best players in baseball by wonderful owner @StevenACohen2.. David follow this gift up by doing basically nothing else to improve the roster other than begrudgingly signing Pete Alonso to an essential 1 year deal because he cant justify breaking up the core of this team and rebuilding it coming off a NLCS appearance + Juan Soto. Result? The offense performs decently enough for the season, while the starting pitching completely crumbles. Stearns responds by adding exactly zero starting pitchers at the deadline, instead going all in on a bunch of relievers and a corpse CF. The Mets miss the playoffs by 1 game, solely due to Stearns failure to put a starting rotation together + most of his deadline moves completely failing.

2026: Now that the Mets AREN'T coming off a great season, David realizes NOW is the time to start his plan. He lets Alonso and Diaz walk. Trades Nimmo and McNeil. The replacements for ALL these players are either hurt, useless, a free agent next year, or all 3. David Stearns replaced Alonso and Nimmo's 26 homers this year so far with Polanco and Semien's 10 home runs. NOT GREAT. On top of that, remember why we missed the playoffs in 2025? The terrible starting pitching? Stearns reacted to that by bringing in 1 (1!!!!!!) rental starting pitcher who has never pitched outside Milwaukee before. There is ZERO reason, why this lineup could not have had Alonso, Nimmo AND Bichette.

In summation: Going into a year where we just needed to run the lineup back and invest in starting pitching, David Stearns decided to gut the lineup, upset the fanbase, bring in a few mercenaries, and almost completely ignore the only issue he had to fix.

He is an abject failure as the President of Baseball Operations, who has been protected and coddled by the media and podcasters because he's accessible.

He has destroyed this franchise for the sole purpose of wanting to treat the Mets like a GM Mode of MLB The Show and rebuild them in his image. He's a fraud.

Fire him. Today. #LGM

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@Mets the same POBO that said breaking up the core of the team for the sake of run prevention and wont spend big $$ or big years on a pitcher is the same POBO who has people out of position and gave $75mill to Sean Manea off 1 half season.

Find the logic

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@Mets I wouldnt blame you if you fired the coaching staff a la Red Sox before this game is even over

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

@Mets, been playing the show- here's how we fix this
Semien for Nimmo. I know- lopsided, Semien's defensive upside, but Nimmo younger and hits
5 years, sign Pete Alonso. RBIs and HR every so often
Sign Diaz in 3 years. Great closer.
Patience, #Mets fans, we can do this due time!

[Joe Arch @manoverboard_92]

Fire the entire fucking staff and David Stearns @Mets

[Nicky The Good @nickythegood]

Stearns philosophy of worrying about things that are 3-4 years away is why the Mets stink right now.

Here’s some examples:
1. Why is Peralta not extended yet?
2. Why is Alonso not a Met?
3. Why is Nimmo not a Met?
4. Why is Framber Valdez not a Met?
5. Why couldn’t we sign Bichette and Alonso?

Atrocious.
