Replying to @StevenACohen2
@StevenACohen2 Mets have a chance to win a series today against the best team in baseball They sit the guy who just got back from DL after missing about 80 games We sit Soto with an off day tomorrow put the 7th best OF in RF who misplays a flyball for a 3 run “triple” lose by 1

All 30 teams use analytics and some will still lose 100 games - I have seen more groundballs go thru positions formally known as SS and 2b only to not have a fielder there - just play baseball man

Please stop this s# show been a 50+ year fan. If it’s been Mendoza moves fire him, if it’s been Stearns pulling in game strings fire him, if it’s the analytics team that makes the line up and pre-scripted moves fire them - this is among the ugliest brand of baseball in my life

Great career, we are certainly going to miss watching you play. 100% effort up 3 or down 3 - #JustKeepPlaying mentality

"One last stand. One lasting legacy." From day one, Ava Merli has been the backbone of our defense and the heartbeat of our team. As captain, leader, and relentless competitor, Ava showed us what it means to play with pride, grit, and heart.

Love it, for many coach’s kid has it tougher too, don’t get their prime position or key spot in the order to start.

A lot of people are against teams coached by a parent. I completely understand your reasoning. You're afraid of favoritism, coaching their kid differently than the rest, etc. I used to be 100% against it too. But not anymore... Some of the best coaches we have are parents with kids on the team. There is nothing better than a Dad who has his mind in the right place. He's not just there for his kid. He's there for the team, no matter what. If his kid stinks or acts out, he sits. They don't coach just so their kid can be in the lineup. They coach so the players learn the game the right way & they can teach life with baseball as the vehicle. Their kid is just another player on the team. And he's "coach" at practice, not "Dad." 👊🏻

Cincinnati cost themselves about 3 more shots at the end one by calling their last TO instead of clocking it - no idea why more teams don’t clocking down the stretch - leaving potential scoring plays out there
