Jessica Mendoza hired as Advisor

A Boy Named Seo Mar 05 2019 09:22 AM

She was (and will continue to be) and ESPN announcer while working for the Metropolitans. News of this hiring has unsurprisingly angered men all over the internet. https://nypost.com/2019/03/05/mets-add-espns-jessica-mendoza-in-out-of-the-box-hire/

I'd probably have more of an opinion if I were sure what she's going to do. Says she'll help in “areas of player evaluation, roster construction, technological advancement and health and performance.” Oh well, good luck. It's not like we can't use a fresh perspective.

It's odd that she'll continue to work for ESPN also, but if she has valuable insight, by all means, bring her on.

Wonder if she'll have to step aside for Mets games?

I get why they'd kiss ass to a former player with a meaningless position, i dont get this one - but its still ultimately meaningless.

Went to Stanford, won a gold medal, comes with expertise and authority. Genitalia aside, she may be a less outside-the-box hire than Van Wangenen was.

There are legions of dummies on the cesspool www.twitter.biz screaming she doesn't know shit about baseball because girls play softball DUH. I'm not entirely familiar with her, but I don't see why hiring her (or Leiter or Franco) would be meaningless. It's good to have outside eyes who have been paid to watch and analyze players on other teams.

I'm shocked and also not shocked at how ignorant people are. Good for Jessica Mendoza, I say.

I like her, but I'll save that for her #hey19 spotlight.

Doesn't really move the needle one way or the other. At some point she'll be in the booth with GKR, and Keith better behave himself.

I don't know if she'll get more than a token visit to the booth, but the Mets, it's worth noting, have never had a female broadcaster. And outside of the Spanish-language radio booth, half-Pacific Islander Ron Darling has been their only person-of-color broadcaster.

The potential conflict of interest is being both an ESPN employee and a NYM employee is the odd part to me - although maybe it's justified by the fact that baseball isn't one of the two sports the "worldwide leader" covers.

Yes, but the Mets have are baseball with a Tebow angle, so ... .

She's hot. Good hire.

if that is criteria, the Phillies may regret the Harper contract before it is even half over, but their 'wifey watch' will be calling it a good deal til the end

Supposedly, when Sandy Alderson heard Brodie Van Wagenen got his old job, he called to congratulate him, saying, "Just do one thing for me ... get Mendoza." https://thumbs.gfycat.com/SerpentineGeneralAfricanbushviper-size_restricted.gif>

her career line at Stanford was a .416. Let's see if any Met can hit above it.

She has now resigned and will focus on ESPN, where she has been moved to the Wednesday night telecast.
