@MetsJoe22 or the awful take “alonso today wouldn’t change anything”. since nimmo and pete have been when have they ever had a competent starting rotation that didn’t implode. 2022 when bassit scherzer and walker stabilized a rotation that got jake back… what happened? THEY WON 100 GAMES
@draftniks Pete and Nimmo were future bets to flame out quickly. Didn't expect Nimms to go out so quickly though. The outfield is so much better without him.
@Derrick19122289@draftniks yeah because jorge polanco, marcus semein, and jared young are all spring chickens with roaring fires of production… hey if you know so much about the future what are the powerball numbers?
@TheMetsX there were living breathing fans that said a package of alvarez baty and vientos was “too much” for juan soto back in the day. you trade them for generational talent.
@RustyShrink the season has been so indefensibly bad they have resorted to shitting on former players because their hero king stearns built a 340 million dollar squad that is 17 games under .500 and was out of the playoff race in april. as a mets fan THATS the biggest number i worry about
@_MetsMetrics@draftniks need to re-evaluate but he never does. we are not “stupid for not seeing the vision” we see that the mets are worse since he got here and are 18 games under .500 it’s not about pete or nimmo, it’s the process that led to getting rid of them and bringing in semishit and polancshit
@_MetsMetrics@draftniks you are a dumbass thinking it’s about pete. every year you and other stearns slurpers beat us over the head with “the process” but it’s been clear david stearns’ process does not work. his decisions are horrible and have been backfiring for 3 years. we are promised (1/2)
@Courtsidecom@GoodFundies so take the same team and run it back hoping they are better is the grand plan? i love ewing and benge, but they are league average bats atm (league average ops is .720). if they are trying to contend next year they need MUCH more talent
@mike_petriello@Mike_Ferrin so disingenuous. it’s never been about those guys. it’s the fact that every decision made to replace them sucked ASS. ofc their names will be mentioned in comparison to semishit and polancshit. there were a million ways to replace them and stearns pushed every wrong button
@will_nba_hater@mike_petriello@Mike_Ferrin bingo. ppl still can’t grasp that. it’s not about the players that left. it’s the ones they brought in. no shit they will be compared to the ones who left.
@dmaudioeng2@thesportsgenius it’s not about Alonso what don’t you get? it’s about Polanco and that decision. Stearns scouted murakami in JP personally on DW retirement day, watched him hit a walk off then handed polanco more $. Don’t like mura? there was also okamoto, ohearn, goldy, walker.
@draftniks stearns has always been about hurting the mets and making them lose money since he was a kid sneaking into the ballpark (as he himself admitted). he’s just doing it now on a grand scale
@kierang3573@ootunji69 we took 2/3 from the scuffling phillies. proceeded to lose 4/6 against real teams like the dodgers and brewers. then won 2/3 against the braves one of which came in a DH. only to lose 3/4 to the marlins. that apparently is “close to contending”
