Mets 2024 Season

I hate second-guessing managers on pitching decisions, but sticking with Lucchesi in the 5th was a pretty bad call. Even at his best he's a 5-6 inning pitcher.

When the dust clears, the difference is this: teams like the Phillies and Braves arrive at the ballpark expecting to win. The Mets do not.

They have the talent to expect to win. Losing Alvarez shortened our already weak lineup. I cannot believe Baty is playing so poorly...his floor seemed like .260 and 20 homers. This is it for him...if he doesn't prove it this year, he will have to do so as a platoon player.
 
The only reason the Muttsies will finish 3rd is because Wash/Mia will jettison any tradable talent in July.

Not even close to Phi/Atl class. Not by a mile. They will both win 95 games. We'll be lucky to finish .500.

Hopefully they let the kids play and see what the got in June. I don't need to see these bums on the mound.
 
It’s May 17 and we are at the point where you just accept that the team is terrible and is not going anywhere. This is not a .500 team nor is it a wildcard team. If you accept these facts you won’t be disappointed or frustrated. They had all winter to make changes off a 75 win season and they nibbled at scrubs. The inaction locked this team into a losing season and possibly beyond.
 
They should have known most of these players are losers considering the way they ended ‘22. Last year was just the icing on that cake.

I hope the Marlins sweep them so maybe Cohen is embarrassed enough to fire Mendoza. How do you hire a guy like him to coach this team in the first place?

How long does Mendoza last? This is getting embarrassing and as they say you can't fire the team.

I wasn’t impressed by the Mendoza hiring. However, this isn’t a Manager problem. The Team the Owner and GM put on the field is not good enough. I believe that Cohen hired Stearns to clean up the roster financially. I am not doubting he will spend in the future. The problem I have is they lied about contending. Not sure why anyone believed they would. Maybe he really believed it. I don’t know. I think they had to say something to offset some of the financial losses. Privately words like “punt” were used. Publicly? Not so much.

Who is going to pay A list prices for a below average, boring product? $40 parking and $12 beers are a luxury. That’s what great teams can get away with for exciting, winning teams. Not teams that can’t score.
 
They stink. The regulars can’t hit and I don’t see how much trade value any of them will get. The kids we traded for have all been doing terribly so far this year. They need to figure something out.

How about not putting Mets uniforms on them. 🤪
 
Losers

It’s always the same crap with this franchise. I don’t bother watching anymore. Much better for my attitude.
