Is it still too early?
Worst team in baseball since last June. 40 years of failure. Sadly Mendoza will wind up being the sacrificial lamb. The good news is Stearns is so much smarter than us and I’m sure he’ll fix it. All of his moves have worked so well.
Not resigning Iglesias who was the vibes guy on that 24 team. When the guy was BEGGING to come back.
Handing out 17M a year for Frankie Montas.
Not even entertaining giving Pete a contract and trading Nimmo, the longest tenured Met for the corpse of Marcus Semien. Definitely NOT because of politics, though.
Doesn’t offer a real 1B a contract, instead signs an injury prone 2B to play 1B because analytics say you can just stick a glove out there and anybody can do it. You know who CANT do it? Baty and Vientos. Baty who is in year 5 of not recognizing a breaking ball and embarrassing himself in the field and Vientos who is the cockiest .220 player of all time.
LouBob couldn’t play game 2 today because he needs his rest. He’s a 28yo athlete and let’s be honest, baseball isn’t the most athletic sport. He can’t play 18 innings? Why trade for him?
I’m at the point where I just watch this team and wait for someone that Stearns specifically got to throw up on themselves to make him look like the fool he is.
But keep giving us that smug smile because you went to Harvard and know more than us. The Unabomber went there too.
