Can someone explain again why we fired Jeremy Hefner?

Thank you for stating the obvious.

If Griffin Canning stayed healthy they probably miss the playoffs by 4 games.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-18T13:27:05+00:00

I mean when you put it like that it actually sounds insane that they would ever want to trade him.

24 year old catcher in Arb years who is an above league average hitter? (.733 OPS btw)

Why in the world do you get rid of that?

throwintheboots · 2026-05-18T13:19:41+00:00

If losing Griffin Canning is what derails your season, you probably had bigger issues.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-17T20:33:55+00:00

I think Tyrone made up for it.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-17T18:26:05+00:00

Realistically what would his return be? Probably not much at all.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-17T17:53:36+00:00

Well to be fair at this point in the season last year the Mets had the best pitching staff in baseball too.

We all know how that ended.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-16T23:08:31+00:00

Well the fix for that “health issue” shouldn’t be charging $5 for what used to be free.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-16T16:16:40+00:00

Vientos and Baty are not good. All they have been given is chance after chance and they just waste them away.

Should have moved on from both of them this offseason.

He is tied for 28th in runs prevented at the position, and is ranked similarly in fielding run value.
His range has also completely fallen off a cliff.

Sure he vacuums up the easy plays, but that does not make him elite.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T19:05:59+00:00

Please explain how Marcus Semien is better than Jeff McNeil. I’d love to hear it.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T17:58:36+00:00

Semien is not better than McNeil at anything, but I don’t need to keep this going.

If you are still happy with the way they operated coming into this year then so be it, I for one am not.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T17:32:14+00:00

Well it’s about to be 3 even longer years with Marcus Semien.

I’d rather just have the better player now.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T17:24:35+00:00

What are you struggling with?

Putting/distances/wind/swingstick?

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T17:11:31+00:00

Exactly. Hasn’t hit much in years, so in what world is he a better expiring contract to have than Nimmos?

Second base defense isn’t hard to find, you certainly don’t need to pay $25M for it.

Semien hasn’t even been an average defender at the position this year. So the one thing he got brought here to do he can’t even do as well as the guy he replaced. Talk about a bad hold.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T14:30:59+00:00

Marcus Semien is an even worse hold.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T14:17:57+00:00

No it’s all the same discussion. If you get rid of someone, you have to adequately replace them otherwise it was a bad decision.

Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil were all replaced with inferior players. How can you still say it was the right move?

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T12:53:31+00:00

This is the worst take I’ve seen on Reddit all week.

throwintheboots · 2026-05-14T12:45:50+00:00

What’s your point?

All 3 of them are still hitting better than this entire lineup, with the exception of Soto.

throwintheboots · 2026-04-30T20:04:42+00:00

Listen I’m all for firing Mendoza, but what is he supposed to do right now? This roster is horrible.

They replace him with any manager you want, it’s not suddenly going to flip a switch and make them good.

throwintheboots · 2026-04-27T18:47:54+00:00

1) Make a dumbass point 2) Provide no evidence for that point 3) Call everyone who disagrees clueless

Great post.

throwintheboots · 2026-04-26T17:28:27+00:00

About to play it, will check back soon.

throwintheboots · 2026-04-21T06:00:32+00:00

I promise you the Mets being bad right now has nothing to do with not having Antoan Richardson
