I mean in that they scored 6 runs in an inning thanks to Juan Lagares, Rajai Davis, and Adeiny Hechevarria

also the Mets being down 1 run is like the Yankees being down 5 or 6 runs, as far as odds of coming back anyway, given how this team scores usually

wow mets with a yankees win tonight, down 1-0 in the 8th, and the bases loaded and 2 out, go on to score 6, and win 6-1, with the mets heroes tonight: Adeiny Hechevarria, Juan Lagares, Rajai Davis.

thats home run in his first AB as a Met Rajai Davis.

I still can't believe rajai davis hit that home run.

Oh, I see. Callaway has realized he's gonna get fired and gone insane.
Like 3 weeks ago he said he will NEVER use diaz for 4+ outs under any circumstance as you may recall in here I said. He also said at one point Dom Smith won't play any OF this year.

Now...

https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1131292584456933376

Mets are changing their tune on basically everything.

-Dom Smith will receive OF reps

-J.D. Davis is also an outfielder

-Edwin Diaz will be used for multi-inning saves

-Tomas Nido is essentially deGrom's personal catcher

The team was on the record against all this in April.

When you hear stuff like the role of Genie was built originally specifically with Robin Williams in mind, and there were quotes from back in the day like "if Robin doesn't want to do this role, we're fucked" and then you see the role by someone else, you kind of get an idea of what they mean. It sounds like Will Smith is doing an ok job, with the energy and such but the role really doesn't fit him. Stuff in Friend Like Me and really needs those goofy breakoffs from the song to do the silly voices, and I don't think Will is goofy enough to pull that off. but I guess we will see. Will's singing aside though, the songs sound pretty good on a grander level.

My biggest hope is that this Cespedes thing doesn't distract writers from keeping their focus on the Wilpon issue. He likely wasn't coming back this season anyway.

something like a huge wide boycott just won't ever happen though. it's completely out of the realm of possibility. the attendance numbers are small and have been going down. i really don't think it makes a big difference. i'm sure it affects them to some degree but in the end, I doubt it would even do anything, unless like not a single person went to a game for 3+ years. and then what's going to happen? they'd probably just move the team or something. I really don't think that is the solution and it only serves as self-imposed punishment. This should not be the responsibility of the fans to worry about. And like I said, I don't really think it would do anything. They're already too big for something like that to affect them. They're also immune to being ousted via scandal apparently as Madoff's has shown, and the sexual discrimination lawsuit has shown.

I personally am not going to give up something I still enjoy, something that still gives me happiness when they win, and even when they don't because I still like going to games and listening to the broadcasters, nor should we have to.

You can't make this about the fans. Don't victim blame. Hold the ones committing the crimes responsible.

Pointing out this quote again too:

"Any managerial change particularly one that occurs early in the second season of a three-year contract represents an organizational failure.

Organizational failure. Rosenthal believes the organization has failed (he's right obv, and way more than in just this aspect). But nothing will be done. It's a miscarriage of justice. The appropriate parties are not accepting blame or taking responsibility and they never will, as long as no one bothers to actually ASSIGN THE BLAME TO THEM, where due.

Y'all say them calling out the Wilpons won't do anything but how do you know if it's never been done?

sidenote also:
Hector Santiago (lmao) is the callup for Seth Lugo. He gets a pro-rated $2 million now that hes called up, this is by their choosing.that 2M could have instead, literally just as easily been given to Gio Gonzalez. But they didn't because....?

I think most people involved with MLB and baseball realize the Mets have awful owners. They just don't feel as strongly as you do about needing them to be ousted. Even if they did, how would anyone go about it? You're right, maybe all these writers should be calling out ownership more severely than they do, but that's not going to suddenly make the Wilpons sell the team.

me? This is about what owners should and shouldn't be allowed to do. But anyway, you're saying that MLB realizing there are awful owners and saying "well thats ok", and isn't that a major issue? What does this have to do with how I feel? If they think the owners are awful and not doing anything about it, what does that say? As for the writers, I don't know, no one has ever written those articles. It's not going to make them sell, but it might put pressure on MLB to actually do something. It probably won't, but it could. No one has ever called them out point-of-order, on a high enough level to know what would happen. Actually, weren't writers calling out MLB to handle the McCourt situation when that shit went down? I'm not sure, but MLB has forced owners to sell before in the face of a monetary scandal. And it didn't when the Wilpons went through one. And they haven't yet with it being directly reported that the Wilpons interfere with their own operations in a way they shouldn't be doing. I want to see some goddamn action. This BEGS more national attention.

Nelson_Mandela posted...

They won't care as long as the Mets are making money. You are personally giving them money by watching them and going to games. You have no one to blame but yourself and God.

they don't need me or the fans to turn a profit. They make way more on ad revenue and naming rights and their TV deal and the likes than any other team in MLB by far. Me not going doesn't change a goddamn thing. I do go to far fewer (home) games than what I used to anyway. I go to more away games now, so I feel like I've addressed this anyway.

Also btw, since when it rains it pours, not only did the Mets call a starter to start tonight, then retract that 6 hours before the game, and announce another one like just now (merry-go-round of it not mattering who of the fill-ins starts), but hey, Seth Lugo, their best reliever besides Diaz to the DL with shoulder tendinitis. He was massively overused each of the last several seasons, so not a surprise.

The Wilpons are the issue. Jeff is the issue.

Jeff Wilpon is the manager.
Jeff Wilpon is the GM.
Jeff Wilpon is the head trainer.
Jeff Wilpon is everything in the org that he chooses to be.

Your owner should not be meddling at all, even to a tiny modicum of what Jeff Wilpon does. Yet he meddles in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT. Look at this quote again.

- "...though sources continue to insist that Jeff, in particular, is a meddlesome presence, heavily involved in the day-to-day operation of the club."

HOW is this not a major point of contention????? How is this not something that nothing is done about? No one in charge (MLB) should allow anything to be run this way.

They are the ones who refuse to let the budget go beyond whatever arbitrary amount they feel like and smudge the numbers to make it look like they are selling. They are the ones who make moves like claiming "WIN NOW" by trading the future for Cano's awful contract and Diaz, but then not following it up by making any more win now moves. They are the ones who when you literally only have 3 SPs, refuse to spend $3M on one, and instead trade a legit prospect to get a guy with a 15 ERA go to make 3 starts for you, or use the AAA Express to start one of the same 4-5 guys as fill ins over and over when they have never worked out in any start in the past.

Wilmer Font will be starting again tonight. This was a decision that was made literally just now. It was slated to be Gagnon, but changed it up now. Either way, its an auto-loss, and wears out the bullpen for the next 3-4+ games.

But OBVIOUSLY this is Callaway's fault and he has to go. He's the one who didn't sign any starting pitching in the offseason. DUH. But firing him will fix these issues somehow, implies Ken Rosenthal.

Rosenthal's article this morning in The Athletic is so irresponsible. It's titled "The dysfunctional Mets, who are toxic from the top down, need an accomplished veteran manager"

If you are toxic from the "top down", why one earth would you follow that up with "they need a new manager", when the issue you JUST SAID 5 WORDS AGO, is above the manager? Like holy fucking shit.

The article goes on to make some legit jabs at the Wilpons, which BEG for more media attention, and pressure on the Wilpons, but it won't because the article is framed that the manager is "the issue" (and there's been tons of articles like that, and nothing happens). No one of significant clout, like Rosenthal, or even Stephen A Smith (lmao) has yet to write (or yell, in SAS's terms lol) an article like "The Wilpons Need To Sell The Team".

Some points in the article are legit points that should have people outraged, and things that should make MLB take action like

- But the #Mets, sources say, also have turned him (Callaway) into a puppet, telling him what to say and influencing who he plays.

- "...though sources continue to insist that Jeff, in particular, is a meddlesome presence, heavily involved in the day-to-day operation of the club."

- "Any managerial change particularly one that occurs early in the second season of a three-year contract represents an organizational failure.

but it doesn't follow up on any of these and proceeds to suggest just that the Mets need a new manager. What needs to happen is Ken, or another high-clout reporter needs to write a straight-up call-to-action demanding the Wilpons sell, that they are entirely unfit and meddlesome owners, who constantly lie to the fans, and use the people they hire strictly as puppets to do their bidding, and take the fall when things don't go right (all the time), when all the damage is self-imposing by Jeff and Jeff alone (and the rest of ownership group).

Why is this article is framed as "The Mets need a new manager" when it alludes to the fact that the issue is from above and calls Callaway a "puppet". If he is a puppet, why do they need a new manager?

Callaway is an issue, he's not a good manager, and probably should be fired (and the fact he barely would've lasted 1.5 years is a huge indictment on the Wilpons), but this is well down the list, like 30th, on problems with the Mets right now. It's clear what the issues are in Ken's article, yet its turned into a manager issue anyway. This is infuriating. JUST SAY THE WILPONS NEED TO GO.

It will never happen. Nothing will ever happen to make them sell. The only escape is death. Jeff is not that old, sadly.

Unless you meant something else by "an offer they can't refuse".

Legit Q.

Do you think everyone in MLB already knows that Jeff and the rest of Mets ownership are unfit, meddlesome owners and they just dont care? Or are they unaware of how they are the sole reason for this organizations woes over the last 17 years?

The Wilpons must go.

Every failure is organizational and 100% squarely on them and not a single other individual.

Fire any manager. Hire any GM. It doesn't matter. All scapegoats. They're not in control. Only one person (or group of like 3 people) is.

Didn't really make much sense to me why the Mets willingly chose to start Wilmer Font yesterday (as he's their fill in guy they traded for since they prefer him over Keuchel because you know why).

But the more manageable issue than he just sucks and the Mets cheaped out on trying to win this year is that they started him (on 2 extra days rest), when they could've just started Wheeler on normal rest yesterday, and deGrom on normal rest today, then Font on Friday- which , since when we aren't 100% sure when Matz will be back, gives them some extra room to work to minimize the amount of starts he makes... because every start he makes is literally an automatic loss.

I dunno. It really sucks the Mets are really going with this guy instead of actually paying for someone even just halfway decent while mind you they have started a 20-game stretch with no off days, with literally only 3 pitchers capable of starting a game (degrom, wheeler, syndergaard), since Vargas/Matz are sidelined... there is no one in the minors that can start. I'm sure they'll force someone in there when they have to (like they did with Font) but come on.

It also doesn't sound good that slow lol. One of the comments says to speed it up to 1.25x and it actually sounds better

edit: oh y'all already got that covered here too. Yeah.

The issue more in general is not that there's anything really WRONG with this clip besides some nitpicky stuff like the speed, and that Will Smith isn't a great singer (neither was Robin Williams, but he clearly had more fun with it), but more that this doesn't need to exist. It's clearly an inferior version to the animated one in part since you don't have the creative liberties that animation would give you. It seems like its gonna be pretty much the same story, so it's not like someone has a new story to tell here, or even a twist on the original (which I guess is possible still but pretty unlikely), so this seems to only exist to say "hey look we have the ability to make this animated movie into a live action movie". But why does it need to be made live action?

I usually know right after there is contact if it's going to be a hit or not depending on the tone he's using.

Dunno if y'all will care, but I watched this interview of Howie Rose (the Mets radio announcer, who is a big fan favorite), and he told this funny story involving him and Keith Hernandez (and Tommy Hutton of the Phillies) and its pretty funny,i recommend listening to it imo.

I linked the timestamp where it happens, but the whole interview is great



I also recommend the part (starting around 11:50 or so in the video) where he talks about balancing his own fandoms vs the professionalism of being a broadcaster (since he grew up a huge Mets fan himself, in the 60s when the Mets were born) and how he can remain fair yet still display a passion for wanting the Mets to win. I personally compare this to what I see from tons of other teams broadcasters where they are actively rooting for the team to win the game like a fan in lieu of professional broadcasting (ie, saying stuff like "Come on, Williams, hit it out of the park!"), which I really do hear way more than you'd think (I remember hearing this from the Pirates and Nats announcers in the past if I'm naming names).

Also, in the wake of Addison Russell being re-instated by the Cubs today, reminder that they have handled this whole situation so awful and grossly... ownership and Russell himself has pushed this as a redemption story and as his sexual assault as a "challenge" that he is trying to overcome by playing good baseball and using the dislike for him as "motivation". He's using his sexual assault, which he barely showed any remorse for and it's like he's just trying to focus on baseball without any care to what he did, as a personal motivator for his talent. Like how fucking gross is that?
