JD Martinez should shut up

[Gwreck]

He spoke to DiComo:
https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/questions ... vs-dodgers

Asked about his role after going unused for a second consecutive game in NLCS Game 2, Martinez replied: “That’s a question for Carlos. I don’t have much of a say. I’m kind of just waiting my turn. He doesn’t obviously have confidence in me. He’s got confidence in other people. So it’s just one of those things.”

Let’s see here:
-Winker has the highest playoff OPS on the team
-You have all the versatility of a boulder, being completely unable to play in the field
-You haven’t hit since August

Maybe not the best comments to make here. Stick to “I’m ready to help the team in any way I can, whenever and wherever Carlos needs me.”

geez

[metirish]

I don't really think Martinez has ever embraced being here , maybe it's his decline ,whatever

[Benjamin Grimm]

He did give them a spark when he first arrived, but by now it's pretty clear that he's a one-season Met.

Hopefully he'll get a World Series ring in the mail next spring when he's with the Rockies or White Sox.

JD wants to play but doesn't care who wins.

[Fman99]

Nearly every inning of games 1-2 thrown by the Dodgers were thrown by righties. So of course he sat. Which makes the question nearly as stupid as the answer.

[Lefty Specialist]

He was pretty ice-cold for the last two months. Maybe Carlos knows what he's doing.

On the other hand, JD was one of our three voters who’d prefer a Mets win to a Trump loss, so … .

Badass

[G-Fafif]

J.D.will have opportunity to put up rather than shut up.

[metsmarathon]

honestly, i don't see the outrage. it does sound like he's saying, without saying, i've sucked, and carlos believes other players can do the job better.

[Frayed Knot]

honestly, i don't see the outrage ...

I don't either.

eh, it's fine?

but who cares about playoff OPS. meaningless. One double from J.D. and that probably flips. Martinez is 4/14 with 3 BB. Winker is 4/15 with 4 BB. 2 of those hits were a triple and a homer. He was also hit twice.
No one's asking him to be versatile? He's the DH.
Winker didn't hit in September either.

[Edgy MD]

It should be fine.

But if these comments circulate, and get inflated on talk radio and social media, and then he strikes out tonight against a slider with runners on once or twice, and Mets fans start booing, it could turn into a thing.

[rchurch314]

what if it's a sweeper not a slider?

[Frayed Knot]

NYM fans are already booing (right here in this forum) and he hasn't even had an opportunity to K yet

[Edgy MD]

Exactly. TINDERBOX!!

Thank you. Much obliged.

Also, Al Weis is the greatest power hitting middle infielder, ever.
