The Mets - Same crap as the last crap

I'm old enough to remember when people bitched incessanrtly about Piazza. For years. He was never very good until he retired.

And for me different times and different conversations. Lindor is not living up to his contract but even if he was the team would still be bad. The issues are still how the team was built (Eppler bad job), the performance of many players(Sherzer, Verlander, etc etc), and even the managing has not been up to par. Even the lack of hustles, the lack of discipline the little things.

In the end they can turn it around but We are not expecting it.

They should be sellers leading up to the trade deadline and make space for new players for next year.

Sadly

Fans booed Piazza a lot during his first season, its funny how some fans forget that or even denied that it happened.

It's not about what fans did - it's about what Pizza did. Lindor was paid like he was an impact superstar player which he is clearly not. Piazza, for the most part, delivered.

Honestly, I do not care what Lindor makes,it has no effect on signing other players so its irrelevant.

Lindor was an impact player last year and is on pace for 30 HR/ 100 RBI this year and plays good defense. How many shortstops will have those numbers?

He’s also on pace for the most strikeouts in his career (by far), the lowest batting average in his career, and the second lowest ops in his career (the only season lower being his first season as a Met).

His BA doesn't bother me, he's hitting .277 w/.878 OPS with RISP and .286 w/.875 OPS with RISP and 2 outs, thats more important to me.

There’s a point where the batting average and on base percentage is so low that he’s not creating RISP for others, especially since he’s locked in at the top of the order. Hitting .218 is too low for a third batter in my opinion.

Irrelevant. Has Lindor played like Piazza did from 98 to 01?
