Beltran Watch

[41Forever]

If he does resign, I would hope that at least one of the tabloids would have a headline of VANISH TAKEE!

This would be the most amazing thing ever to happen in journalism and would pre-emptively win the 2020 Headline Contest immediately.

I'm totally missing this. What does VANISH TAKEE mean?

[kcmets]

Yeah, over my head and rolling to the wall...

[Ceetar]

it's a play on words of an inside joke of a misunderstanding of spanish lyrics (Beltran's walk-up music, El Esta Aqui) from 15 years ago.

[LWFS]

I feel like we explain this on here to someone, like, once every 9-12 months. #bulletproofcoffee #gingkobiloba



Anyway... figures that we'd take the slow boat to an announcement, with copious leaks and low-level/anonymous employees leaking their opinions to the media. Verrry on-brand, as the young'uns say. Now, if they let him go, it looks all the more as if they got bullied into this. If they stand behind him, it looks mealy-mouthed rather than strong, no matter what's said. In concerning themselves first and foremost with public opinion, they fuck themselves in the court of public opinion.

My Beltran watch says that it's 15:15 on the dot.

My slip into senility is going quite smoothly, thank you.

I feel like half the time I enter a room these days, I have no idea why I came to that room.

[Edgy MD]

And that room is The Crane Pool. Pow!

I think the Mets are huddling with their lawyers to see if they can fire him without having to actually pay him. If they can. He's gone.

[dgwphotography]

Building a rationale...

Integrity is a buzzword with the Mets. Just not something the Wilpons actively practice.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Jessica Mondoza checks in with an idiotic take on how wrong it was for Mike Fiers to spill the beans. Whack her while we're at it.

[41Forever]

Mike Voccaro says Beltran should not be fired -- unless he lied to the Mets if they asked about it.

Carlos quits according to Mad Dog.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yep Twitter's blowin up w/ Beltran steps down tweets.

[Edgy MD]

Jeff Wilpon is here to talk about Qualcomm."

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I gotta say I'm relieved.

I had misgivings about naming him in the first place.

[41Forever]

I think he had great potential. Tough situation for someone to walk into, knowing they were not the first choice and had been passed over by other teams as well.

[Centerfield]

Stepping down. So Jeff didn't even have the balls to fire him.

Fuck these guys.

[Vic Sage]

Its kind of funny how the Mets were forced to undo their bad decision. Now lets see how badly they handle the upcoming manager search.

[whippoorwill]

Personally I think this whole mess is bullshit

[batmagadanleadoff]

Beltran should've PIVOTED. He needs to take some PR lessons. Then get up before the podium and just change the subject. He should've had a press conference about the Pelopynesian Wars or something. Talk about how we're all working together and how it's a shame all this negative talk about negative stuff. I bet anything that by the end of that presser, everybody and the whole wide world would've forgotten that there even was an Astros sign-stealing scandal.

Fuck these guys.

You don't think he was fired? I think he "stepped down" the way Cora "stepped down."

[Centerfield]

Oh, I think he was fired. What I meant was that Jeff didn't have the guts to come out and say "we fired him".

[Willets Point]

So does Beltran get a watch as a parting gift?
