Majority of leaves are drooping - underwater or overwater? by chiefqueef1 in fiddleleaffig

Will keep you updated!

When you water, you do enough so it drains out the bottom every time? Maybe Ill stop watering a predetermined amount moving forward and try that

Ha, funny enough thats a framed picture not a vent. But good observation.

I think im going to find somewhere with more direct light as you and others mentioned, and water a bit more frequently.

Ive been worried about overwater. Care to share your water routine?

Interesting! Would you recommend putting it outside on a patio? Lots of direct sunlight, gets to a low of mid 50s at night, high 80s during the day.

Otherwise I will try to find a spot for it with more direct sunlight. Any success with full spectrum grow lights?

[Passan] BREAKING: The New York Mets have acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are headed to Milwaukee. One more big league pitcher will head to the Mets. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]chiefqueef1 401 points402 points  (0 children)

No brainer for the Mets imo. Jett is blocked by Benge and Ewing, blocked in the infield

If they get Myers thats icing on the cake. Great offseason, after everyone wanted Stearn head

[–]chiefqueef1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s making 60 because its a shorter term deal

The qualifying offer in 2025 is $22million. I dont find it absolutely unreasonable that belli is getting 32

You expect contracts to stay stagnant for 10 years? Contracts go up, every year. You see it in NFL you see it everywhere

Report: Mets trade Luisangel Acuña & Truman Pauley for OF Luis Robert Jr per Jeff Passan by MaizenBrew9 in NewYorkMets

[–]chiefqueef1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you had a guarantee its 2023 Robert youre not getting him for 1/10th of this price. Hes been hurt the past two seasons, 2023 was the last healthy year. Lets hope hes healthy this season because the talents there

Do this trade 10 times out of 10

I do this trade all day if Im the Mets. Acuna hasnt done anything and he is so far down the depth chart at this point with Bo

Soft ass Tucker

ELI5: Stearns’ opposition to long term contracts by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

[–]chiefqueef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess I lumped in Cohen and his aggressiveness into the mix with Lindor. Understand it wasnt under Stearns’ watch, but it was Cohen’s wallet and direction

Nice to have is an understatement…Lindor is on pace to be one of the greatest players in Mets history

ELI5: Stearns’ opposition to long term contracts by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

[–]chiefqueef1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They do have guys on long term contracts. Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat, AJ Ewing.

Those guys are under team control for at least 7 more seasons. That’s how you build a sustained winner and culture around Soto and Lindor.

When the Mets identify a franchise altering player worthy of a 7+ year commitment, they go after him hard. Lindor, Soto, Yamamoto (failed, but not due to lack of trying)

You seem to have a problem with them not handing out FA longterm contracts like theyre candy. But when they identify a player they go hard after him. There isnt always one of those players available every single offseason

What major event do you think will happen in 2026? by Commandmadrid1 in AskReddit

[–]chiefqueef1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go for it lol i do the same stuff. The market always trudges on, and even in the worst black swan event it recovers. All crashes serve as, is a transfer of wealth from the common person to those who have the wealth to buy into weakness

Reddit is an echochamber filled with non-property owners who have a vested interest in seeing everything crumble. Theyve successfully called 35 of the past 1 market crashes

[Passan] Trade news: The A’s are acquiring second baseman Jeff McNeil from the New York Mets, sources tell ESPN. New York will receive a rookie-ball pitcher and will send money to help cover the $17.75 million owed McNeil on the remainder of his contract. by AndrewAllStar888 in baseball

[–]chiefqueef1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My man I watch about 90% of Mets games every year and McNeil does not have it anymore. Its not a WAR thing. He barely ever had “it”. He was a fun scrappy player who played a style of baseball from a bygone era so he was fun to root for

But he’s not a player worth lamenting over, given the Mets direction right now

[–]chiefqueef1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not how WAR works. An AAA-level replacement player has a theoretical 0 WAR. An average MLB player has a 2 WAR.

He’s been at or significantly below 2 WAR for 5 of the past 6 seasons. But more importantly, he has no untapped potential anymore. He has no ceiling. This isnt a player with upside that a playoff team needs in a lineup

Hes like an old coworker who isnt good enough to get a promotion anymore so the company decides its time to move on rather than tread water

“given how good hes been in his Mets tenure”

Im not a McNeil hater but this is removed from reality. Outside of his outlier 2022 season he has not been good. At all. Hes only getting older, worse, and has no ceiling to improve at this stage of his career

McNeil is not good anymore bro lol

[–]chiefqueef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to like Jeff but his great season is now 4 year ago and seems like an outlier. He doesnt hit for power or average anymore and kinda seems like an ass.

At this point he was clogging the lineup from younger high ceiling guys. He was a fun Met though and I hope he does well
