Why is there so much hate for Pete Alonso?

Pete really isn't very well liked, at least that is the vibe I get over the last few years. Edit to say throughout the game from other teams fans ,like he is really disliked

Have not noticed agita directed again Pete Against the Mets is a different story and yes to that I like Michael Wilbon but he slams on the Mets at every opportunity, sloppy Cubs fan that he is

Jealousy. Pete is more handsome than Aaron. Not by a lot, but a little. Enough. (I haven't really read much Pete hate)

I can't offer much praise for the insights of Michael Wilbon. I guess he looks bright next to Tony Kornheiser. I'll give him that.

Pete apparently went yapping -- "Throw that pitch again ... throw it again" -- at Braves starter Bryce Elder following the flat slider.he hit out of the park last night. Not sure if anything specific prompted that (I wouldn't have picked Pete as a big trash talker) and some stuff certainly pre-dates just yesterday. But, whatever started this, yapping like that from the dugout will only fuel the fire.

The word The Met Man is looking for is dregs.

I think his zen like approach during the HR Derby turned a lot of people off , I remember a lot of chatter about then.i don't know, Pete seems like a great guy who is loving life , maybe that's part of it

It's a Tony Kornehiser podcast thing. If you know, you know.

“Let me tell you, those fans in Washington and Philadelphia, I like 'em. They hate me so much, that it's almost like an acknowledgment. They boo me so hard, they yell at me. They call me so many vile names that it's almost respect.” —Bill Parcells in 1989, for Jerry Izenberg's classic No Medals for Trying Pete understands.

Opinions differ on how close a deal was to fruition, but one thing is clear: Alonso's future with the Mets remains a major question.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2023 08:26 AM Re: Why is there so much hate for Pete Alonso?

That's always been true and probably always is going to be true, right up until he signs a long-term, no-trade contract. And then it goes from major question to minor question. The only permanent thing is the change, baby.

A losing team listened to trade offers on a star player signed 1 more year? yawn.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 23 2023 09:08 AM Re: Why is there so much hate for Pete Alonso?

Yes, of course they should listen. But it sounds like the Brewers weren't offering nearly enough. The fact that the Mets set a high price for Alonso would seem to indicate that they'd prefer to keep him. I very much hope he gets extended before he hits free agency.

metirish Aug 23 2023 10:20 AM Re: Why is there so much hate for Pete Alonso?

I would be really, really pissed if Pete isn't tied up , expecting that to happen maybe this off season

It just seems like, as Mets fans, we're not allowed to have nice things.

LOL,



It's just that the few times we get someone special, something goes horribly wrong, see Wright, David and the M.Donald Grant section under Seaver, G. Thomas.
