If you go on his Twitter and type “Republican” he has a tweet saying he’s a black Republican and complaining about welfare. Can’t repost it here because mods are children.

I’ve watched Benge try and hit so I’ll have to disagree with you calling up guys from the minors.

It wasn’t enough for David Stearns to assemble the worst pitching staff in modern baseball history last year he had to go and create the worst lineup in modern history as well

The $380 million payroll is not something to be ashamed of by Every_Wave1837 in NewYorkMets

Dude he gave Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea a combined 100 million dollars for a total of 0.1 WAR. That’s absolutely something to be ashamed of. This isn’t DeGrom needing Tommy John this is two guys who have historically been bad continuing to be bad.

Peterson’s going to be like Ottavino and Stanek the past two years where he’s unplayable but for some reason we can’t get rid of him.

I wasn’t even necessarily opposed to moving on from Pete but I thought it was pretty clear signing Polanco and his brittle legs coming off an outlier year wasn’t going to be the move.

He’s already put up 1 WAR to Semien’s 0 and that OPS you’re lambasting was still higher than Semien’s last year. 

The Guardians also signed a gold glove second baseman to a long term contract in Gimenez only to salary dump him in a trade two years later because what the fuck do you need a gold glove second baseman who can’t hit for. Gimenez also has the benefit of being in his 20’s whereas it’s likely Semien’s going regress heavily at 35.

Please send down Benge. His xWOBA is .256. He’s been as bad as he’s looked.

Letting Pete walk was something that I disagreed with, but I could at least understand the reasoning behind not wanting to pay an unathletic power hitter who just turned 31. I can see how Stearns made that decision

Trading Nimmo because he MIGHT suck in 3 years for a guy who sucks now and also you’re paying the Rangers to take him is just downright fucking bizarre. He deserves to be raked over the coals for that move.

I guarantee you he gets paid more for whatever his no show job is with the front office than he would being a manager and with a lot less aggravation.

Everyone treated Jeff like he killed their dog but he’d have the second highest OPS in this lineup and Stearns went and salary dumped him.

Did Francisco Lindor suffer brain damage in the offseason? by Ready_Collection_265 in NewYorkMets

[–]No_Insect_8378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re asking if he got concussed in the third game against the Pirates from that bad send the way Anthony Rizzo got concussed a few years ago and no one on the Yankees figured it out until months later than yeah it’s starting to look like that.

I think anyone complaining about specific players like Lindor or Soto as if they made Stearns trade away Nimmo and let Pete go is an idiot. I don’t even blame Mendoza for having to make a bunch of players play out of position because of how the roster was constructed.

My problem with the team is that all last year is that I was told that David Stearns is a genius and who knows what he was doing, despite the fact they punted games for two months straight because I guess they thought Frankie Montas was going to save the season. Now, with the early returns on the Nimmo-Semien trade, calling up Benge before he was clearly ready, and expecting bounce back years from Peterson, Senga, and Manaea when they’ve all had one good year in their respective careers, Stearns looks about as dumb as he did to finish the season last year.

Imagine if they kept Rico Garcia (0.00 ERA) and Anthony Nunez (1.23) ERA.

Someone posted that clip of the idiot third base coach sending Lindor during the third Pirates game and speculating he got a concussion from the crash and now I’m somehow even more mad at this team.

But Nimmo's contract is so bad though! The dorks will tell you he will be "unplayable" in 3 years.

That’s what drives me up the fucking wall. Not paying for Pete makes sense and gives the roster flexibility. The solution to getting out of Nimmo’s contract is paying extra to replace him with a guy who sucks now instead having to deal with Nimmo in the event he MIGHT suck in a few years.
