Latest “let’s dump on the Mets, and cause social media engagement” meme craze is pointing out that with his next game played, Jose Altuve will have played in more postseason games, the the Met Franchise has
Manny Ramirez (111), David Justice (112), Bernie Williams (121), Jorge Posada (121) and Derek Jeter (156) have more
Yadier FLOWERBEDDING Molina (104), Enrique Hernandez (103), and Alex Bregman (102) round out the 100 games club
OMG, WHO CARES!?
More of a quirky sign of postseason expansion since 1994 than “gee its sad that a handful of players have more postseason games played, since the playoffs were expanded for the 1994 season, in their careers than a handful of franchises, including my favorite team, have played in their decades long history”
And the Mets aren’t the worse offenders.
I mean Colorado just ran off their 4th 100+ loss season in a row
Have the Mariners or Angels even played their 100th postseason game yet?
Like Bonilla Day, this is just foreign slop (Sportskeedia Baseball Facebook Page, location India) for rage and engagement baiting. Especially those who troll Met fans.
I wouldn’t worry about it, because while I’d love to have Met players populate the 100 game club, its still more indicative to the expansion of the postseason than hashtag LOL[this franchise that has been woefully inept for much of the same timeframe]
