Author, Artist, basically square in A.I.'s gun sights. Seattle & New York sports fan. He/him on most days Sentient goo on the rest.
I have breaking news! No idea how it happened, but David Stearns has somehow traded the 't' in #Mets to the Seattle Mariners for their second 's'! Moving forward, the two teams will be known as the Seattle "Marinert" and the New York "Mess"!
"Ya gotta Believe!" OK. I believe the #Mets will finish dead last. Not just in the NL East, but in all of MLB. I believe we will finish in the same spot NEXT year. Why? Because our 'president of BB ops' is a drooling idiot who thinks baseball is played with a bloody spreadsheet.
Howie Rose via the #Mets audio stream (Not word for word here): 'Since 'Run Prevention' became the focus of this team, they can't play defense.' Yup. Exactly right. Plus, they're so busy trying to figure out how to play defense, they have no time to figure out how to hit either.
Unfortunately, there is. Baty isn't a 2nd baseman. As we just saw. Of course, Bichette isn'tT a 3rd baseman. If they want to showcase these guys? Give Lindor a break put Bichette at SS (his natural spot), Baty back at 3rd, etc. Not that it'll happen, because 'the spreadsheet is never wrong...'
JerseyLefty@jerseylefty.bsky.social · 2w agoTotally serious question: Is there any reason at all to play Semien the rest of the season? Should be Baty for the next two months. Last chance to do something regularly. #Mets. Instead, a rapidly declining veteran who is about to drop below the Mendoza line plays most days.
Been doing this for a few years now (we live on the west coast so it's app or nuthin). The audio source feature is a godsend for out of home market fans.
Charley@qflea.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you have the MLB app, you can watch Fox video and choose Howie under broadcast options. Found this by accident.
Comparing -any- pitcher who lives or dies on the edges of the strike zone's work 2025 to 2026 is eye opening. Why is Peralta suddenly awful? He has to be ACTUALLY accurate, instead of just KINDA accurate.
#Mets Baseball 2026. Come for the horrificly bad baseball, stay for the suitcase packing tips. ... ...that sounds terrifyingly prophetic.
I don't know if his #beatles fandom extends to the film Yellow Submarine, but just in case it does, somebody alert Howie! #LGM #KeepTheFaith choicefineart.com/collections/...

Suffering thought the homerun derby on @netflix.com and I gotta be honest, all the drone camera shots are making me motion sick. Or maybe it's just the lack of excitement in the event itself. Regardless of what the MLB Network crew thinks, this is BORING.
Folks, when people say Stearns isn't the problem, THIS is the sign I will be pointing to. Not only is he paying double for nuthin, ASSUMING all three are ever simultaneously healthy again, he's choking a third of his lineup potential to do it.

A forty minute delay in the start of the game because nobody in Boston has ever heard of contingency planning? Y'all had twelve+ hours to make a 2-hour flight. This game should have started on time or been forfeit. If #MLB decided this, way to keep your thumb on the scale.
I am -HONESTLY- shocked that game didn't end with Keith and/or Pat saying "I need an effin DRINK! (of soda, or tea, or fruit juice, of course) 😉 "
We're in an (entirely predictable) rain delay, SO! What's your least popular, but firmly (and privately) held take on the #Mets? Mine? Baty and Vientos are not bad players. They're just not good together on the same side of the infield, and that's in their heads, affecting them at the plate.
Scathingly accurate. You do not "prevent runs" with an infield that is nearly entirely out of their natural positions. Nor do you replace run creation with aging power players made of spun sugar and glass. ...and don't get me started on the pitching rotation. sny.tv/articles/met...

As the Mets start the second half of the 2026 season, here are grades for key players, Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns after a disappointing first half.

Flaws are part of every human system. That's no excuse for not FIXING them. Or, as my friend just wrote: "Today, as always: I pledge allegiance, to the IDEA of the United States of America. And to the promise, it has yet to fulfill. To become a nation of Liberty, Freedom, and Justice... for ALL."

Per weather.com, rain (at Laguardia at least) should be ending about 7:15 EDT. So, three hour delay? Really?

I feel bad for Howie Rose. Here's a guy who grew up a #Mets fan, got to live his dream of being a broadcaster for the team he loved. He has been loyal to this franchise through thick and thin for nearly 40 years, beloved by fans. He's riding off into retirement - and this is the thanks he gets.
See, THIS is why I keep tapping the "Fire Mendoza & Stearns" sign. You've got players out of their natural positions for whatever reasons and it IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING. But they can't admit it. Hence, fire them. Come on, #Mets figure it out.
Bill Caffrey@bill-caffrey.bsky.social · last mo.Is it not obvious to everyone except the #Mets that Baty should be at 3B and Bichette should be at 2B? They could have 1 guy playing unfamiliar position and 1 guy playing the position he's played for his entire career. Instead they're having both guys play unfamiliar positions. Make it make sense.
