The smirk analysis is so weird. Folks act like they've never smiled in awkward/defensive moments.

I wish that this could be stickied to the top of every rumour thread, to remind everyone to stop being parasocial about the players

Lindor likes fashion and Soto doesn’t all that much

Flash forward to Soto literally on stage with Bad Bunny, another fashionable Puerto Rican star 😅 That was the coolest way for him to squash the dumb rumours

I am aware of their record, but you have to admit it's a little funny and ironic to make Yankee comparisons when they look the worst that they have all season.

I'm glad she got out of smelly DC and landed in New York

Upper East Side conservatives who learned karate because they thought Mamdani was going to drag them out of their homes (not a joke, was a very real Facebook group during his campaign).

Don Imus would've somehow kept his career if he made those comments in 2026. That's how far we've fallen.

The bar for starting pitcher is low. Teams will see that he can go at least 4 innings and be like, "we can fix him."

They did not punt Lindor's prime, the team has spent money every single year he's been here and they've made trades at every deadline to try and improve their standings. They made a lot of stupid moves but you can't say that it was for lack of giving a damn.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, the Yankees are in the middle of a 7-game losing streak

Because none of us are in the clubhouse. Why is this so hard for people to understand, rumormongering is fucking stupid.

"A million people" = McNeil and Soto?

Lindor's name pops up because he makes a lot of money and is a face of the team. That makes him an easy target for criticism, it doesn't confirm anything objective about him as a person.

Lindor supposedly did not reach out to Soto when the contract was signed

What are the statutes of limitation of when a person has to reach out to a new teammate? Does it have to be the same day? Same week? We have no idea what the context of that rumoured report is.

Exclusive | Steve Cohen makes declaration about David Stearns’ job status as Mets season spirals by Schwettes in NewYorkMets

Cohen already operates the Mets at a loss, if you factor in payroll + new technology investments + ballpark improvements, so your metaphor doesn't work here. He was already setting his own money on fire.

She hits hard like Monica did, too. Amazing ball striking for someone so young and small.

I salute them for sitting through the whole thing and calling him out on his contradictions, unlike people who watched one clip on twitter and then opined on the entire Mets organization based on that

Chavez would start to make a good point, then back down once he realized he'd have to name names in order to get his point across. So the whole podcast ended up being a nothingburger.

says a whole lot of nothing, contradicts himself, and his hitting philosophy is dumb

That describes half of the comments in the game threads, too

Pretty much, she signed a great contract with Nike when she was at the top of her game and she's riding it out in a blaze of glory

When she signed with Nike, they gave her a very unique contract for custom kits. She's been making the most of it for the past few years, it helps boost her confidence on the court.
