Rough start, but smooth finish. Thanks for pointing out the All Star appearance. A quick look at his career stats did not indicate All Star caliber. Let's hope he returns to All Star form.

See, it's always darkest before the dawn. Kept saying they'll right the ship and Steve Cohen won't throw away 2024. Four out of the last 5, here's to a big hope we take 2 of the next 3. That would be something.Time for the faint of heart fans to get back on board,
Another fun stat - Mets have used 17 different pitchers in 10 games. The 1986 team used 15 pitchers all year.
Just heard on the WFAN, JD Martinez needs more time because his body is sore. No shit, maybe he thought the Mets were going to pay him by the pound!
It is weird to me how any pro athlete is sore from doing what they have done every year for 20 years. Wasn’t he doing any sort of baseball activities as he was waiting to sign?

I remember when he would come up to bat, Grote would always reach down and collect some dirt from the batters box and rub it between his hands. Then he would adjust his helmet and choke up a bit on the bat as he got set in the batters box.
The thing I remember most about Grote is his rolling the ball toward the mound at the end of an inning and making sure that it stopped on the far side of the mound from the opponent's dugout. He wanted the opposing pitcher to walk farther to get to it. Competitor.
I agree, no wonder it took so long to get a buyer,lol. I had high hopes he'd finally be the answer to the Mets black hole,otherwise known as the DH position.
I believe that what I stated was pretty clear! Ownership has punted on 2024!!!
This is proof positive that the Mets have not. They signed Teheran for a guaranteed $3M, decided immediately that they made a mistake, and cut their losses.
So you are telling me that signing Julio Teheran as opposed to the free agent pitchers that were available in the off season is tantamount to ownership being all in on 2024. I respectfully disagree!
I know its more noticeable when you watch a team 162 times a year
Mets need to find out how to avoid 0-20 slumps
0-10 happens all the time to the greatest hitters
Constantly having guys in 0-20 1-25 slumps just can’t happen , Mets need to try anything , even trying some of the Rutgers message board legendary cure alls ……

Remember some of our managers that only gave games off after a guy got 3 or more hits in a game- Nimmo would have been sitting today lol
Was non-guaranteed $2.5 million with a pro-rated portion based on rostered days. Paid him $54K.
Don't be an ass! You know damn well I am referring to the lack of activity in the free agent marketplace subsequent to last season.
Never said the Mets were all in on 2024. I will say that they are not punting on the season. There is a lot of room between those two extremes.
I felt they were punting with the hopes to get lucky until they signed JD. Then, it looked more like that were willing to at least try to get into the playoffs
The only context to your otherwise mysterious statement was that it followed two posts about the release of Teheran. So now you're saying that your post had nothing to do with the release of Teheran but instead was a reaction to not signing free agents last off season. OK. It's more than a little late, but have at it.
Lack of activity? They signed two free agent starters and acquired a third via trade.
Did carrying $65M in dead money, and being in the 110% tax bracket, affect Cohen's free agent strategy this year? Yeah, I am sure it did. Can you blame him?
He got the part about you being an ass right. But yeah, he needs to check his meds. :)
If Alvarez is beat up on April 9, what happens on September 9?
