I’m sure rushing Soto back during a freezing homestand because we are desperate will work out fine.

And this is coming off of 2025. One of the worst years a Mets executive has ever had. maybe David Stearns sucks?

Which makes it crazy how bad a run he’s on. It’s early, but it’s hard to comprehend how bad his moves have been. Bichette was his biggest acquisition. He’s been terrible. Jorge Polanco was his other big offensive move. Just as bad and now he’s injured. He gambled Semien over Nimmo, which looks terrible 23 games in. And Robert, who started off hot has cooled off badly during the past few weeks. His .737 OPS is by far the best of the crew. It’s looking more and more like Carson Benge was rushed. Devin Williams is a disaster. Luke Weaver has a 6+ ERA. Luis Garcia is already cut. Only Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers have been positive additions. That’s two good moves out of 10. Stearns is a smart guy with a track record of some success. How is he this bad?

Agree. Benge should go down.

At this point Mets are just being assholes holding on to Mendoza.

wtf. I’m glad the TCD never lived to see this.

It’s crazy to play yourself out of contention in April.

Great job by Warren. now we’ll only lose by 2.

This is ridiculous.

Omg. Leadoff walk. I shouldn’t have tuned in.

Well that inning was quick. Looks like they haven’t had a baserunner in a while.

Btw. Semien leading off? My goodness.

Let’s score some fucking runs.

The Mets are 20th in MLB in starter ERA. It’s not the biggest problem but it is very much a problem.

I felt it was a long shot. It takes extraordinary circumstances for any club to consider firing a manager before Memorial Day. Doing so a month before requires even extraordinarier circumstances. But these are fairly extraordinary circumstances.

Mets catch a break as Mick Abel is scratched from this start. One of the standout aspects of this 11 game losing streak is outside of Yamamoto and Ohtani, they haven’t faced anyone good.

Two weeks since their last win. It’s almost comical.

You figure that within a lineup your expensive players give you a bit of a floor. Meaning they may not live up to expectations, but you figure they’ll be at least pretty good. Not on our team. 1. Lindor (expensive). Historically a slow starter. I expect will be fine. 2. Soto (super expensive). Hurt. Will be fine once he returns. 3. Bichette (super expensive). Figure he’ll be fine. But inexplicably slow start. 4. Polanco (expensive). Is hurt and played even worse than Bichette when he wasn’t. There’s no guarantee he’ll be good. This was the risk of signing an injury prone player coming off his one good, healthy year. 5. Robert (expensive). Big question mark. The reason we got him for nothing was because he’s expensive. Realistically we can’t expect any better than he’s already shown. 6. Semien (expensive). We took on the worst contract in MLB because we feared that Nimmo might turn into a worse one. It may still, but it hasn’t yet. And the decision has saddled us now with a terrible player that is not likely to improve. Baty, Vientos, Alvarez and Benge are obviously not expensive. But we have no idea if they will end up being any good. That means out of the ten players that make up this lineup, six of them being very highly paid, only three of them can be expected to provide us with any sort of reasonable floor. That’s on Stearns. (And unfortunately in this early season, none of them have provided that floor yet). The fact that of those 10, only 2 are performing at a reasonable level suggests that the analytics, coaching, preparation or management is not doing their part. The fact that the underperformance has been happening since mid-June of 2025 suggests this is no fluke.

It probably wouldn’t have made a difference but don’t you walk Nico Hoerner and set up the double play? Makes no sense. maybe Mendy just punted knowing they weren’t going to score and didn’t want to burn any more bullpen.

I mean really. We have a rich owner that funds the second highest payroll in baseball. He’s also brilliant and has hired one of the smartest executives in baseball. I think the manager is not any good, but he’s not 11 losses in a row bad. How is this possible? They are the worst team in baseball. Worse than the White Sox. Worse than Colorado. I didn’t agree with the offseason moves, but there’s no excuse for them to be this bad. It’s hard to play yourselves out of contention in the three WC era. The Mets are threatening to do that before the weather gets warm.

Mendoza should just start packing now.

You spend the entire road trip hitting ground balls. Then when you need one you hit pop ups.

Fire the whole team. All of them. wtf. Kidding. We can keep McLean.

Hard to win a game scoring one run.

Never a doubt.
