I’ll speak for myself. I’ve made a whopping couple comments since the season started like the real doozie “Off to a great start”Why does acting and crying like little babies make someone a "realist"? lol

Please give me a reason that this team will achieve anything beyond being mediocre. By the way, us realists consider those with unrealistic expectations to be Polyannas.goes for the football team threads too where "realist" is used way too often by too many people
I guess I put on my "realist" hat when Stearns didn't do a damn thing during the off season...His big accomplishment was to not trade anyone. lolPlease give me a reason that this team will achieve anything beyond being mediocre.

I really enjoyed your reply. Good, bad, or indifferent LETS GO METS!!!I guess I put on my "realist" hat when Stearns didn't do a damn thing during the off season...His big accomplishment was to not trade anyone. lol
Meanwhile- pitching help we could have used ended up signing for very team friendly deals. At least he did get JD which changes this lineup dramatically.
The structure of the lineup also sucks. No real manager could even try to explain Nimmo/Lindor/Alonso/McNeil
It is just funny that the term "Realist" just triggers me. It is sort of like the person who says "I speak my mind and if you don't like it, too bad" - and the one thing that person doesn't want to hear from someone else- is them speaking their own mind as well. lol
Spoken like a real Mets fan,unrealthat will be a double BEheader tomorrow. Do we see 0-6?
I'm not usually an alarmist. I have been out of the country and tracking scores and social media, but not watching. But it does look bad. And I'm still sore about Vogelbach. 🤡Who's not calm? It's early, and there have certainly been some interesting thing to talk about so far.
(But, yes, there are the usual alarmists, reactionaries and die-easys who think they're die-hards. But that's just another day.)
Let's play two.
great start- he will be a beast for years and love that his defense has also become very good- if he can improve his throws on steals- he will be special behind the plate. Pete starting well and how different this lineup will look if JD shows up and does what JD doesAlvarez is a beast!! What a start to the season for him.
Maybe they heard our whining and we willed them to try harder?great start- he will be a beast for years and love that his defense has also become very good- if he can improve his throws on steals- he will be special behind the plate.

He has hit some hard balls and in bad luck.Is it too much to ask of Mr Smiley ( Lindor) to once in his Mets career to get off to a good start. Every year he gets off to a pathetic start.
Asking for a friend.
Steve Cohen?Please give me a reason that this team will achieve anything beyond being mediocre. By the way, us realists consider those with unrealistic expectations to be Polyannas.
Plenty of players today can't execute basic things such sac bunt, hit & run, etc. because the focus is on the long ball and hitting everything hard.Nope, completely agree if Baty is a Major Leaguer he needs to get a bunt down.
That he should be killed for it. Bad decision. You don't ask players who can't bunt to bunt. It's not something they teach to middle of the order hitters in the minors. You don't ask to do it there.Missed all of Game 1. I see that Mendoza is being killed on the internets for bunting Baty in the 10th - score tied, free runner on 2nd, no outs. Baty didn't get it down and then struck out.
I have no problem with this decision. If there was ever a time to play for one run, it's when one run wins the game. Thoughts?
Only 7 more years of Lindor (after this one).Should be able to sign Pete pretty cheap soon if they even want him and avoid the Lindor albatross contract.
Certainly not going to defend Mendoza but have to say we have 2 “leaders batting UNDER .050.Its an embarrassment.
Mendoza has all the makings of an absolute disaster. Cant see him lasting the full year but he will.
Barring an unforeseen turnaround , I’d make the entire team available for trade during the season and only retain Alvarez / Baty / Senga and Diaz - and hopefully Alonso would entertain coming back after he is dealt during the season
Play the kids when they’re ready mid season ! - please !
Everyone else could be had and should be had for the right price albeit most of team is untradeable .
Unless you are worried about ruining the confidence of Acura, Gilbert etc…. Bring them up now. Have to think think they will do better than .050Its an embarrassment.
