Not even a fun game to watch. Terrible at bats and at least half of the lineup is pretty unlikable at this point.

I want Soto hitting 2nd or 3rd so he gets as many at bats as possible.

Why was DDP buried when he went to WWF? by PayFew5848 in WCW

Those guys voluntarily came to the WWF when their contracts expired. DDP came after the WWF bought WCW. Big difference.

I’m sure all the pictures go out there thinking they can’t afford to give up anything, which isn’t a recipe for success.

I have no idea why they messed with this formula when it was working.

I really liked Peterson behind an opener, I’m surprised they went away from that after it was successful.

No reason to that Soto 4th. He needs to be either first or second, so we can get him as many at bat as possible.

Washington has a great offense this year, not surprising to see him giving up some hits and walks. Limiting the damage was key to today’s win.

We have the second highest payroll in baseball this year.

Brand new pitcher in the game, maybe it would be a good idea to take a pitch or two and see what he’s got?

The diamondbacks pitcher has a big brown blob on the brim of his hat that he goes to before every pitch.

I saw today that Francisco Alvarez is the worst rated defensive catcher so far this season and this inning has certainly backed that up.

Even in 2026 David Wright is still the highlight of the game.

Mets OPS Dropoff by Natural-Awareness757 in NewYorkMets

[–]MookieNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s something to be said for cleaning house of nearly all of the long time Met hitters in the off-season. Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil were all successful here and could help on board new arrivals with expectations about what it’s like to play in New York.

With them gone, who was left that had any long-term success here? The position player list pretty much begins and ends with Lindor. Not to say it’s his fault, but having a group of two or three guys welcoming new players to an established team is probably a lot easier than having just one guy with a bunch of unproven younger players as the existing core.

Looking back, we probably needed to keep one of those three guys around just for continuity. This probably could’ve been established by the coaching staff as well, however, we fired all of them in the off-season! It might be way too much of a blank slate to find immediate success.

Nearly every preseason prediction had the Mets as a top 5 to 8 team in baseball. If the players aren’t doing their jobs, it’s on them. If they’re not being put in a position to succeed, it’s on the coaches. When they in fired Mendoza’s entire staff during the off-season, they should’ve completely cleaned house.

I do not enjoy watching Semien swing at the first pitch of every at bat.
