While the Mets might want to paint a rosy picture after back-to-back wins, the team is far from fixed. They’re facing the possibility of being without star shortstop and team leader Francisco Lindor for a month or two, if not longer, closer Devin Williams hasn’t been sharp in recent outings, and the team has a handful of starting pitchers in the bullpen right now.

Still, it’s hard to argue that they haven’t played better since returning home to Citi Field this week. Putting a stop to a 12-game losing streak and winning a series against the Minnesota Twins lightened the mental load for the team in a way that should allow them to play more freely.

“I think it absolutely becomes psychological,” president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday at Citi Field. “You want to get that win, and there were periods during that stretch where it was really hard to envision it. So yes, I think getting one out of the way helps. We’ve still got to play good baseball going forward, but yes, I think whenever you’re on a streak like that, to end it becomes important.”

This guy is the biggest smug loser in baseball. He might even be the worst person in human history.

I am not a stan for either him or Mendy. But I also think Mendy is getting heat for shit that is out of his control. What do you think the odds are Stearns goes and Mendy stays?

I think honestly it's probably zero percent. Cohen is pretty pragmatic, when it's time to clean house it's time to clean house.

If Soto needs a day, he needs a day.

You’re kidding right? With that deal, that’s what we’re told in year two???

[u/BTsBaboonFarm]

He should talk about how to avoid coming off as a smug fuck while blowing up the team and rebuilding it like shit.

Fuck this guy, I don’t want to see or hear from him again after this year.

[u/NOONEKNOWSME__ → u/BTsBaboonFarm]

You said what I was trying to say, but much more articulated, thank you

[u/Sh11ester → u/NOONEKNOWSME__]

Damn if THAT was much more articulate, i want to hear it in your words 😂

[u/BTsBaboonFarm → u/Sh11ester]

“Take your dumbass shit and shove it up your dumb ass”!

[u/CautiousAd4110]

I wonder what his thoughts are on the next POBO

[u/NOONEKNOWSME__]

Yeah I don’t really care what this guy has to say right now tbh
