It's wild out there

The blue check, the plus-280 character take and "(football)" in his name makes me think much less of this guy's Mets thoughts.

Pub. Author didn't take you in?

There's a lot of published authors out there giving rapid-spray takes on Twitter. Especially about sports.

This guy's blog is just rankings of different players in different sports without any explanation for the criteria of the rankings.

His most recent Tweet is:

"I believe this story [from a buddy of mine, thirdhand], and I believe his comment 100%." is how I assume most of Joe Rogan's thoughts begin.

Right, I was taking the piss outta that guy, anyway, I guess Buck didn't ruin Alvarez and Baty. Ron put a notion forward recently that mashing in AAA isn't all that as your often hitting against washed up guys etc

A buddy of mine told me that Greta Thurnberg told him that John Frascella (Football) has the very worst takes on the planet.

I believe this story and I believe her comment 100%. I essentially agree with myself.

That's a yes

Did Showalter address that after the game?

Late answer here, but yes, he did. He said Robertson was going to pitch the 9th if we got there. And he also used an old west metaphor that the Mets shot all their bullets that day.

Just maybe shot em in the wrong order (-me).

We've become intensely averse to warming up a guy more than once, or over a period that could pass beyond an inning's changeover.

If Robertson was going to enter, the place to do it was after Walker lost all three guys he faced. But committed to using Robertson in the ninth, Showalter didn't have him ready for that spot.

Should be interesting

Might be interesting, but there's not a lot he can do. He can cover the salaries of players being traded away but that's about it.

I thought Uncle Steve learned his lesson last year when he got into Twitter fights with people.

Maybe this is just a cleverly-disguised Chris Christie campaign event.

Is he allowed to purchase wins from other teams? The A's don't need the twenty wins that they have, and they would help the Mets a lot.

Probably a state of the team address, which should not take long

Should be a treat

I'm guessing "votes of confidence" for Eppler and Showalter.

Or maybe he's going to announce that the Mets will wear plaid uniforms on Thursday day games.

He can do a ton of things if he's of a mind to.

Most of things would likely have futile or worse outcomes, but his options are wide open.

If he comes to the Mets, he can be 117 or 017 if he wants. He might as well add having the first-ever three-digit uniform number to his list of accomplishments.

As far as the history of psychological warfare goes, that tweet was a hell of a move by Stroman.

Yes it was! Man, does Stroman hate the Mets!

He called Keith Hernandez a dinosaur and added three laughing-at-you emojis. He's foul.

IIRC Stroman has previous with the guys in the booth, from when he was with the Mets

I'm kinda with Keith. The Mets retired the damn number and it hasn't even been a year. Don't want to deal with stuff like this? Don't retire a bunch of numbers.
