OT: MLB Thread XLVIII

[ThirdEye]

In terms of actual talent, he's far superior to Babe Ruth. In terms of talent versus the league (which is obviously a much better comparison), I'd argue he's still superior to Ruth since no one f***ing does this in modern baseball. Like, what he's doing is insane.

Too bad he's stuck on a shitty ass Angels team where although he still gets plenty of attention he isn't getting attention he deserves. Career is going to be wasted

Stanton been absolutely raking since he's been playing in the field.

Also, thats 13!

Great year for Cole, guy has been killing it since he came back from Covid.

Looks like the Yankees winning streak is going to end today. Oh well, it was going to end at some point.

Edit-Almost came back, but no cigar

I couldn't stand Baez before he was a met and now I hate him even more. This guy is such a moron and especially going into his contract off-season you're doing a celey to shit on the fans when the team is essentially out of the playoff race and under 500. What a joke...

Baez: Mets using thumbs-down celebration as message to fans

The Mets turned from being a team I really enjoyed to a team I outright hated this season. It wasn’t just the losing - it was the attitude. What seemed like a group of likable guys is a roster full of whiny dickheads.

Hope Cohen brings in a new FO with a mandate to carve the roster to pieces.

The Mets can go f*** themselves.

 

[Crease]

The Mets can go f*** themselves.

Here comes the pointless late season winning streak.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

This Baez story isn’t going to go away. We still make “I’m not letting this ruin my weekend” jokes about Drury around here.

Lindor was handling his struggles the right way until now. He said the boos were fair even though it sucked to get booed. Now he is booing us? I am interested in how Cohen will respond to this. Blunders after gaffes after self inflicted wounds with this team and we can’t just blame the Wilpons anymore.

 

[NYR94]

This thumbs down gesture is so dumb. Talk about being thin skinned.

Fans boo teams when they play poorly, plus our leading story "water is wet", when we return from this commercial break.

 

[nyr2k2]

So did Sandy put the statement out on his own or did Cohen tell him to do it?

 

[Bluto]

I dont watch baseball anymore but if i did i would want the mets to trade that whole damn team. f*** those crybaby losers. If you dont want to get booed dont play like shit. What f***ing babies.

 

[Irishguy42]

Two errors in a single AB seems unlikely, no? I wonder how often that happens.

Also, I just saw that A-Rod made fun of Stanton's swing earlier. To that, I say....STFU. Stanton has one of the more aesthetically pleasing swings in the whole league. Maybe you should get better at color commentary skills before criticizing anything on a national broadcast.

[nyr2k2]

Yeah not a good look for Walker. I get thinking it's all an overreaction--that's fine if you feel that way. But your teammates and fan base both are being skewered and mocked left and right at the moment, I'm not sure laughing emojis is a great response.

You know it's bad when things have me looking forward to the Jets.

 

[bleedblue94]

I never cared for stroman when he was in Toronto bc of his nonsense but it just seems ever since he came here this attitude of over-entitlement has been manifesting. Add some of these other guys and toss in Baez for gasoline and poof. Baez is such a douche. Always has been and now he's rubbing off on others while stroman is downplaying it. I hope they clear house this winter.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Not a Mets fan, but yikes.

I'd shut Baez down for the season. Doesn't matter what was given up for him. Send a message that shitting on your own fans isn't going to be tolerated. What a stupid, toxic thing to do.

 

[17futurecap]

Pain, 3 runs over the last two games isn’t going to get it done.

Hopefully they can host the WC game.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hate chad green.

at least I think the rays don’t get to beat up on the O’s anymore.

 

[Machinehead]

Green can't be trusted. Gives up 69,000 homers a year.

 

[East Coast Bias]

It’s not a huge deal. I don’t even care if they clown the fans among each other. Fans are stupid.

but the way Baez went out there and brought it on was stupid. They’re just whiny idiots. You just went from up 5 games to down 9 in the 2nd half of the season. Maybe keep a low profile.

 

[Crease]

Not sure what’s worse: Baez declaring war against Mets fans, or that the rest of the clubhouse followed suit. Bunch of loser babies.

At least we can now stop worrying that Cohen will extend Baez.
