I don’t think the players are quite possibly this bad. something is wrong in the clubhouse. Which could be a player problem of course and not a manager problem necessarily, but it falls on the manager to fix it - and he’s clearly not doing that. maybe nobody can but it’s time to try someone different. the team has had three deep stretches like this in his tenure. it’s time to put a stop to it. (and I’m usually not a fire the manager type guy!)
-
So… maybe yes he can possibly be worse…? -
That don’t look so good does it. but there wasn’t a whole lot of interest in him overall. Big worries about his swing and miss. Otherwise he’d be somewhere other than the south side.
-
I also wonder how Mendoza still has the job. not that he’s necessarily a bad manager or has the wrong messaging, because I think he’s exuding a message of calmness and what not. But goddamn it is not resonating with this group of overly-pressing try-hards.

Nobody likes smart guys. They seem like know it alls and people like to root for know it alls to be wrong, even when they are actually smart people who know a lot. me I want my gm and pobo to be dumb as rocks.

Question of the week: are you optimistic?
metsmarathon replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in New York Mets Talk
I am always optimistic. Always. sometimes it’s the only way I can get through the day. the team is better than they have played. mind you, I might need to move the goalposts of what my optimism is about… like… winning the division perhaps… but I’m optimistic about… something. -
I think it’s all about approach. I also think that one of the biggest problems is Lindor, in that with Lindor, he’s always far too willing to take the burden onto his own shoulders, instead of spreading and reinforcing a message of trusting your teammates and doing the job together. I mean, accountability is great, but I feel like he’s always _too_ accountable, and that gets to be infectious in a bad way. relax. Trust your brother in metly arms. Go out and have fun.

Piazza definitely got Clemens, but… ohhhhh…. Sorry. not sorry. piazza - maddux

Nobody is out there asking for the human element when they’re out there timing Olympic sprinters. “ooh, lane 6 has Jenkins, notorious for his slow stopwatch. Tough draw that one. Timing lane three is McNurtle, who always times off the shoulders not the chest - the runner’ll be wise to use his lean to proper advantage!” could you imagine how outrageous that would be? The umpires are there to get the calls correct - to accurately adjudicate the outcome of the play, not to offer their subjective interpretation of the rules.

As a closer, Trevor Hoffman did pretty well for himself with the changeup, I think.
-
I like the 2026 version of Peterson so far
-
Expecting a clean outing from Peterson. Show us what you’re capable of. looking forward for the metsies to put the ball into the sun some more, too. Little bit lower angle today so ya gotta smash those line drives!
-
Fucking let’s go, Mets! LFGMforever

I went 91-95. Put me down for 92. They could end up with a bunch more… or a whole lot less.
-
I like having the piggyback to work the 6 starters through the rotation. Keeps more bullpen arms fresh.
-
Wait you can just copy and paste straight from excel? What wonderful witchcraft is this!?
-
I lurve Ronny Mauricio but I struggle so hard to see where he plays, without a significant injury befalling the infield.
-
Welcome aBackman to all of our old posters. And welcome aBordick to any new faces among us!
-
I worry the most about Manaea. yes Senga is fickle, but if he’s healthy he’s ON. Peterson just needs to get length but he’s so solid. Manaea feels like maybe that one cool trick might’ve worn off a bit.
-
There’s always positives.
-
Double phooey. but holy shit that is palpable joy coursing through that stadium. I can fucking feel it all the way up here in Jersey. Wow. Congrats Venezuela!
-
Phooey
-
Gotta put Gunnar and goldy up to bat, no?
-
You also left out Goldschmidt. He’s starting to get a little too much of that Yankee stank on him. That shit just doesn’t wash out clean without a whole lotta elbow grease
-
Nolan McLean helps balance that out just a bit…
