OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
The mets...on an 11-game losing streak....are gonna send to the mound everybody's pick for Rookie of the Year to go against the Minnesota Twins and a guy with a record of 0-3 and an ERA of 6.10. I like the mets chances in this one. I predict the losing streak ends tonight.
I just bet $20 on the Twins ML +136. I would love nothing more than to lose this bet. But if that's not an option, might as well profit off of it.
Simeon Woods-Gibson
Oops I meant Woods-Richardson
Edit ….
Well that’s more like a guy with no fastball and a 6.10 ERA !!!
McLean dealing tonight !!

I did. Stand corrected. Probably because it was one of many games this season that I haven't bothered to watch. Not much worth watching. But I did see some highlights and I dont consider that a terrible outing with a razor thin lead.
There hasn't been one yet that has been 100% Not even ones that are enshrined. I can recall the great Rivera giving up some against the Mets even.
Brad Lidge was 41-41 and 7-7 in postseason
I remember the stat cause I was at game in Philly where Beltran hit one up middle and Rollins made play to end game with runner on second

Back of the player's card mean sh*t right now. This team couldn't piss in the ocean even if they were standing in it.
Devin Williams is trash. Offense is trash. Entire team is garbage. Gonna be a long long long season
This team might be a historically bad Mets team. Arguably only 3 above average players in the field, a couple of starters and no bullpen. Half the players they do have are in the wrong positions and total dopes for a GM and manager.
Doug- here is a little of where I think Stearns really did F up- He brings in a guy like Bichette, who is just a hitting machine. And he wasn't a really good SS but did seam to improve when at 2B. Both middle infield spots.
We bring him in early and to have Lindor at SS and Bichette at 2B would be brilliant and most likely, Bitchette thrives. But since he already traded one of his best and most popular players for an aging 2B...he couldn't do that- so, Bichette had to completely learn a new position while also learning NY.
Stearns also had a kid who showed last year- that when he was given 3B to play everyday- he got good in the field and improving, but he became a dangerous bat- but heck- we now had to put a very uncomfortable Bichette there to learn a new position, we have to take the kid out of his position he was thriving at and make him a nomad.
Stearns has zero clue how to optimize a team.
What he has built, has made it much more unlikely that any of these players can have a normal year.
Met fans desperate to cheer for... anything.
Devin Williams gets pulled after giving up two runs, bases loaded, no outs. Austin Warren comes in to mop up. He strikes out the first hitter and the sparse crowd starts chanting MVP! MVP!

The root cause of the issue is that Bichette was Plan B. Stearns was all in on Kyle Tucker. I think his entire roster build was predicated on getting Tucker.
And that shows you something very important- we have the wrong GM. A good GM is always a step or two ahead. He didn't even have Bichette in his back pocket. And that is why we over paid for a player friendly contract. And yet- a much more consistent- you know what you get and you know you get 160 games of it- is not worth making an offer to.
Yup. Being 9 games under .500 sucks. But if you have to be 9 games under .500, better it be 23 games in than 123 games in.
That is of no consolation to Mendoza though. He doesn't have 123 games. IMO, he has 9, and it's now down to 8. I don't think Mendoza can survive a 3-6 homestand.
Mendoza should have been left in Chicago and Stearns should be dumped on the 7 train.
Remember I was the realist who predicted a 95 loss season 7-10 days ago. Now it may be 100 !
This team is awful. They don’t do anything well !
No one develops offensively in this hideous organization. Alvarez / Baty / Vientos / Benge - all overmatched game after game !

Mauricio hits 3 homers today and Steams brings up Senger last week.
Put him at 2b and have Semien be the defensive replacement.
It’s sickening watching continued feeble AB s night after night - inning after inning - batter after batter !

Nope on Lance Johnson. Never wore Number 12. He was Number 1. In fact that was his nickname - One-dog. He starred on one of the more interesting Met teams in their history - the 1996 team that had three guys with career years (Johnson, Gilkey, Hundley) and still finished 20 under .500.
Other 12's of note were Ken Boswell, John Stearns, and Willie Randolph (both as player and manager). Randolph is the last Met manager to be fired in season. He could lose that distinction soon.
I was wrong.
BTW, I've seen Williams look just as bad with the Yankees. Nobody in the Bronx was unhappy to see him leave and sign with the mets.
As long as Bobby Axeleod got his $8 Billion Casino and all the parking revenue, he could give two 
about the Mets.
Does he get a cut for the soccer stadium as well?

Problem is you throw Semien any pitch - and he has no chance….
Season is shot….go with youth and potential.
It was obvious from the moment Stearns signed Frankie Montas that he was over his head !
Look at some of his signings and or acquisitions in last 2 years : Montas / Manaea / Semien / Polanco / D Williams.
Makes you wonder whether he’s a spy working for the Dodgers and or that simply incompetent!
Fantasy baseball owners wouldn’t have made these piss poor acquisitions !
Twins make fun of the Mets

Stephen A Smith nails it. I disagree with him often, but not here.
And WTAF was so funny to Lindor at end of video after he whiffed. Frankly, he is a big part of the problem. His after game interviews are disgusting. Was discussing this today with a long time Met fan in person. Someone needs get mad and start kicking some @SS in the dugout and locker room. This team is soft and weak and shows no pulse.
McClean should stay away from Lindor.
Apologies to Zak, but this made me laugh in a period of personal loss and fandom that has not had any laughs in the past two weeks.

He doesn’t get along with many players a la Alonso / Soto / Nimmo / McNeil and 3 of them are gone.
Heard his wife and nimmo wife didn’t get along. Mmmmm
Heard his wife is very close with Cohen wife
Granted he plays every day and outs up numbers - excluding 2020 and this year / but I look at him as a big problem in the clubhouse.
Also if it wasnt for him - Mets may have still had PCA as one of the other buffoon prior GMs traded PCA for thumbs down Javy Baez and his pathetic attitude.
Like you said - Clubhouse needs more fiery type of players !
