That feels like a (very) invented argument. Don't know many Mets fans that don't love Delgado, don't know many that love McEwing. Beltran, on the other hand, was a fine player. He'll always get heat in my view for leaving his bat on his shoulder for one of the more important at bats in Mets history. That is what it is. His Astros nonsense doesn't help either. With respect to Lindor, it's hard to judge a fan base that isn't happy with a guy who hit .235 his first full year as a Met and is hitting .215 this year. That's just gross and that, along with his OPS numbers, are a far cry from what he used to do. A fine player but leading this franchise to a pennant does not seem to be in the cards. Mets need to focus on developing talent and not trading for and then signing players that another team is more than willing to give up. Cleveland does not regret trading Lindor. I guarantee it.

Lindor's a good scapegoat due to the contract but he's been fine. I'm just glad we didn't sign Correa! Best move the Mets have made in years

Not sure how old you are, but do you remember when Bud Harrelson was an All Star SS for the Mets, now a member of the Mets Hall of Fame, and he hit 7 HRs in 16 years. Averaged like 25 RBI for a season. Just sayin. Yes, Lindor has been a complete and utter embarassment. Last edited by Snapolit1; 06-22-2023 at 05:26 PM. |

“Harrelson is the only person to take part in both of the Mets' World Series championships and appear in the first three world series for the team; he won in 1969 and appeared in the 1973 World Series as a player and in 1986 as a coach. Harrelson is also the only person in Mets franchise history to have appeared in four playoff seasons; as a player in 1969 and 1973; and as a coach in 1986 and 1988.“ |

Ridiculous. No Mets fan ever said that. Lindor has a 726 OPS for a number 3 hitter and the supposed star player. He is a big problem. He is a very good fielder that is durable. He is not the impact player that Piazza and Beltran were and there is 8 years left of this.

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

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

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.

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

Yeah, no Mets fan every talked about how special Joe McEwing was. Not one. Never happened. Not one guy.

Steve Cohen felt he needed to sign Lindor to send a message that the Wilpons were not running the team anymore.
Fans can't see past the contract and will always use that to trash Lindor. The contract does not stop the Mets from signing other players, evidenced by the Carlos Correa contract. Why do fans care so much about a players salary? If Lindor was making $10M, fans would love him. |

The Mets remind me of the Snyder/Redskins days when they just threw truck loads pf money around. Side note, thought they should have gone all in on Mookie Betts. Could they have signed him, who knows, but he`d surely have helped a great deal.

The Wilpons owned the Mets at that time and they never would've paid Betts.

The way they are sadly finding there way over a cliff. 21-3 and 6-0 very impressive double header.

At least they found another arm on the team. Danny Mendick could be their 5th starter for the rest of the year

Tonight is starting out the same. Mets are lost. Hopefully they’ll be competitive next year but I’d be very happy with 2-3 years.
