OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
- Status
Joel Sherman reports that the Mets DID make Alonso an offer last year before the trading deadline - 7 years, $158M. He obviously declined. Understandably so. The Boras philosophy is that if they want you to give up your free agency rights, they've got to overpay for that concession. We'll see how if works out for all concerned.
But look at the standings. As horribly as the Mets are playing, they are only two games out from the last playoff spot. And if the Mets get into the playoffs, anything can happen, as the Phillies showed two years ago when they reached the Series after barely getting the final wild card.

Mets are only one game out of the third wild card in an 8 team scramble.
I still think that Cohen should move the team to a waterfront stadium in Jersey City named Gil Hodges Stadium.
Then,maybe the curse will be lifted from your team.

Was down in Philly tonight. First time at the bank and it was a great ballpark with great entertainment outside at xfinity live. Wish the Mets had anything close to that. Also wish the Mets had anything close to the Phillies baseball players.
The Mets stink. Badly. Luchesi tried, was overmatched and in 3 batters too long. Poor managing. I don’t know what a grant helwig is. Don’t care to know. Hope to never see him again.
Vientos has a bat. Wish he had a glove. Thought Lindor had a glove, was wrong, wish he had a bat. I love Nimmo. Can’t knock him. Wish he was better. Marte can move on. Alonso is a .230 hitter with home runs sometimes and bad defense. McNeil is whatever. I don’t know what else to say. I love the Mets. But after seeing Philly fans enjoying life at xfinity live post bar fun situations compared to whatever citi field is it just bums me out. Gonna be a while

I’m going to assume that most fan bases are the same and that the combination of message boards and either long term losing or short term losing streaks produces this. Because otherwise it feels like this is a fan base populated with losers.
That may be part of it as well as starters going only 6 innings max.
I’ve seen Seaver, Ryan, Gooden in great seats either behind the plate or between the plate and either dugout sitting in the first levels where you also hear the pop.
Ryan was the only one that was even close to a deGrom 102.
As much as I hate Philly sports teams I have to agree that they have a great setup there and their stadiums are a good time.
My thoughts:
1) With everyone healthy, Lucchesi is the Mets #9 starter. Maybe #10. I suspect this was a one and done.
2) I too don't know what a grant helwig is. Grant Hartwig is one of many interchangeable relievers at the end of the bullpen. The Mets have already used 25 different pitchers! You will see Hartwig again, but maybe not anytime soon.
3) Agree on Vientos.
4) Disagree on Lindor. He is a very good player. He is not a superstar. Problem is, he has a superstar contract, which unduly raises fan expectations, and will be an albatross around the neck of David Stearns for the next eight years.
5) Nimmo also is what he is. A good player with a contract that also hangs around Stearns' neck, although less heavily than Lindor's.
6) Marte cannot move on. No one will take him.
7) Agree on Alonso. He may rue turning down $158M for 7.
8) McNeil is a head scratcher. He came up as a hit machine with a magic wand. Then he tried to be a slugger, and was pretty good at it. Now he is neither.
9) Cohen will develop the surrounding neighborhood but it will take a while.
10) Your love for the Mets, and your frustration, is apparent. We all feel your pain.

Pittsburgh does too. They shut down the area in front of the stadium for weekend games and it's like a festival out there. Another great place to see a game.
No, that was Mario Mendoza.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendoza_Line At least he played in the big leagues for several years; Carlo had only two brief stints in the majors.. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mendoca01.shtml
Trying to squeeze as many ads in as possible before the advertisers run for the hills.
New Mets fan fun game
Can Narvaez and Nido combine their batting averages and win the batting title
160 and 220 so far. Nido crushing it at 220 which should help the dynamic duo

Isn't Cohen trying to get a casino license and build an entertainment complex and hotel where the chop shops were? It'll be better than anything around the Phillies ballpark I think.
Go play with your cat and forget the Mets!!!

Edwin Diaz was supposed to be a strength. Is this really going to happen again?
Can’t say that Nothing wrong with the team
You’re just a negative loser
I just want Alonso to get hot so they can get something for him when they are selling at the trade deadline. Throw in McNeil for free.
Where did they find all these jokers who are afraid to throw strikes. Even when it's lefty on lefty.
