I'm getting up on my soapbox for my annual spring training rant. I know the games and stats don't count. yadda yadda yadda. But that is in the standings. As Yogi Berra said, "Half of this game is 90% mental" and I don't like their losing to NL clubs in spring (especially NL East teams). I want those teams at all levels be so scared when they play the Mets that they feel all efforts are futile. It should start in the minors and continue when their young players face the Mets in Spring training. Let it be in the back of their minds every time, a stifling feeling of hopelessness in anticipation of a humiliating loss. If the Mets manager du jour wants to experiment with lineups, let him do it against AL clubs. I know nothing I say can or will change anything, but I wanted to get it off my chest for 2021. I'll climb down off my soapbox now. Later
