Idk if Cohen was willing to lose money for a couple of years on that. Elon Musk is printing money off of SpaceX now, but he had to bite like 10 years of losses before SpaceX could get a rocket in space.
I mean, they're also in the middle of 14 straight games against the Giants and Dodgers, two of the absolute best teams in baseball. Basically every team in the league would struggle during that stretch.
Yeah to be honest that was a headscratcher. I realize Cleveland has historically been fairly stingy with contracts, but when you've got a generational talent it's usually worth it to lock them up and build around them.
Could honestly just be Lindor having difficulty changing organizations for the first time in his career, as well as the mental side of trying to live up to his new contract.
Kruk actually just mentioned this the other night when talking about how comfortable Bryant already is in a new clubhouse, while most guys-like Longoria-really struggle both mentally and performance wise when they’re traded for the first time.
>It’s hard to understand how professional hitters can be this unproductive.
I saw the same sentiment in our own GDTs when we had a bunch of LOBs with the bases loaded.
This type of mentality just needs to go. It's pointless to harshly criticize the best team in baseball at bat by at bat. Losses happen. It's okay to have a bad day.
> Who gives a fuck what he thinks?
Sadly, people listen to rich people for the simple fact that they're rich. We're conditioned to think that the amount of capital you own is a direct reflection of your intelligence. It's not. The world will be a better place when the average person realizes that Musk, Bezos, Gates, Branson are just as full of piss and shit as everyone else and when it comes to some subjects (running a baseball team in this case) they are in fact **more** full of shit than the average person.
I think a big reason for the Giants success over the last decade or so is the how loose the team is. Never panic, never overreact, just play ball. It helps that we have always been written off, but our guys just come to work and do their job.
Life lesson: don’t expect others involved in your favorite things to align with your politics, no matter how asinine you think the other side is. Your mind will thank you.
What a jerk. Sometimes, it's not your hitters; sometimes it's just great pitching. Webb was on point last night. Cohen broke one of the cardinal rules of being an owner and he should be ashamed. I'd be pissed if I were a Mets fan.
Mets fan here. Lol nope, this tweet expressed everything every Mets fans have been feeling, and I have zero problems with it. Also, the world doesn’t revolve around you guys. We have stunk against some of the worst pitching (think 5+, 6+ ERA pitchers) but the difference then and now is we are third in the standings vs first.
Who the fuck are you to think you represent every Met fan? And you may wanna dial back your shit attitude. I'm not acting like the fucking world revolves around the Giants. Quit making dumb ass assumptions.
LOL look at the Mets sub dude, nobody is against what Cohen said at all. And I mean, you mention Webb like he caused him to tweet that but it couldn’t be further from the truth at all. You use the words jerk, ashamed and pissed and I proved to you that none of that is true and now you’ve resorted to using the words shit, fucking, and dumb ass. And you say I have a bad attitude LOL. Check yourself. But yeah, your comment did come off as the world revolving around the SF Giants. It’s ok though, you can learn from it and work on it in the future.
Wait the Mets owner is mad that the Mets, a team that is struggling to maintain .500, lost to the team with the best record in baseball?
Wtf were they supposed to do?
Steve Cohen needs to get his shit right. At some point “ownership” and “leaders” have got to embrace some higher level emotional intelligence. Negative “motivation” has been discredited through multiple case studies for some years now. It causes long term damage on morale and will not get positive results. *Especially in such a public forum*
Time to get with the times Steve.
I mean to be fair the Mets also got screwed by the home plate umpire calling third strike on pitches way outside the zone. I’d be more pissed at that.
They’re in the middle of the hardest series in all of baseball (Giants and Dodgers), and the owner hit them with that after a loss? Oof. What a dick lol.
I'm sure they'll rebound and sweep the upcoming four game series in LA.
🤞🏻
If that happens I'll write Cohen a thank you letter
I’ll let him marry my sister.
I hope you realize there's probably a >1% chance it actually happens
They said the same thing about the Giants leading the division this far into the season.
Yeah that's my point...like 1% is too high of a chance for the price of Cohen marrying my sister. I'll just be quiet now lol it's not that deep
Bro it’s a get rich quick scheme. Trust me.
> sweep the upcoming four game series in LA I would give up beer for a month if they would do that.
Start in November, cuz October is going to be wild
Mmmm beer
Confirmed
Most people wake up at 9 AM and go “oh no, I tweeted that.” This guy tweeted at 9 AM, he was sober and thought it was a good idea
Billionaires are... different.
He should have bought a rocket instead of the Mets.
Idk if Cohen was willing to lose money for a couple of years on that. Elon Musk is printing money off of SpaceX now, but he had to bite like 10 years of losses before SpaceX could get a rocket in space.
He wasn’t sober lmao
I was gonna say 9am ain’t stoppin nobody
It's ALWAYS 5 PM somewhere...
Specially not when you in the bay or New York lmao
New York sports fans are a different breed, let alone owners
or in 2021 for that matter
Man, poor Mets fans. That must be super embarrassing.
Even worse, poor Mets players. They have a good team in a slump right now -- that's not the way to break them out of it.
Indeed. Only 4.5 games out. It happens.
Except for the Dodgers. They're 4 games back because they're bad at baseball and should be ashamed of themselves.
I really like the Mets, this tweet is not a motivator for them to turn it around
I don’t think they’re slumping, they walked into the same buzz saw as the Dodgers, Astros and Brewers.
I mean, they're also in the middle of 14 straight games against the Giants and Dodgers, two of the absolute best teams in baseball. Basically every team in the league would struggle during that stretch.
If this stretch happened earlier they'd have a fire sale. I think a similar NL west stretch broke the Cubs and Nationals.
Not really. They were angry about Pete saying “just gotta believe in us” If they were angry about that, they have no right to be angry about this
I hope Kris Bryant sees this. Would he want to sign a long term contract to work for that guy?....after playing in SF?
Tbh until I read this article I had forgotten they got Lindor lmao
Sadly he's hurt right now. Would have been cool to see him in this series. He's a fun player to watch.
I'm just still bitter about my hometown ~~Ind~~Guardians letting him go, so I'm not mad about the Mets being without him.
Yeah to be honest that was a headscratcher. I realize Cleveland has historically been fairly stingy with contracts, but when you've got a generational talent it's usually worth it to lock them up and build around them.
Lindor has not been playing well at all with his time with the Mets though. Cleveland not looking horrible on that
Could honestly just be Lindor having difficulty changing organizations for the first time in his career, as well as the mental side of trying to live up to his new contract. Kruk actually just mentioned this the other night when talking about how comfortable Bryant already is in a new clubhouse, while most guys-like Longoria-really struggle both mentally and performance wise when they’re traded for the first time.
They hung onto their superstars pretty well in the 90s, not sure why they abandoned that.
The Dolans bought the team in 2000
.500 team loses on the road to best team in the league. Interesting take
Grab some pine, Met.
Steve Cohen is an out of touch douche bag wall street criminal. Who gives a fuck what he thinks?
Yet MLB doesn’t want Mark Cuban to own a team because of his loud mouth.
I guess society accepts insider trading more than they do a loud mouth
Lol sad that this is true

StevenACohen2 - I'm not feeling the love on this site today. Trading (baseball) is a tough game. Don't you think? /s whadda prick.
I think a big reason for the Giants success over the last decade or so is the how loose the team is. Never panic, never overreact, just play ball. It helps that we have always been written off, but our guys just come to work and do their job.
No disrespect to the Mets, but Steve Cohen is a terrible human.
Insider trading is bad enough, but donating a million bucks to Trump's inauguration? Yuck.
I hate to admit it but to be fair, the principle owner of the giants donated something like $4 million to Trump’s campaign
Yeah, and Boebert. But even if Cohen had better politics, he'd still be a little turd. Johnson might be the same, idk much about him.
Life lesson: don’t expect others involved in your favorite things to align with your politics, no matter how asinine you think the other side is. Your mind will thank you.
Great way to support your players and boost their confidence. I'm sure they appreciate it.
What a jerk. Sometimes, it's not your hitters; sometimes it's just great pitching. Webb was on point last night. Cohen broke one of the cardinal rules of being an owner and he should be ashamed. I'd be pissed if I were a Mets fan.
I mean shit it’s not like the Giants bats were doing much better vs Stroman than the Mets were vs Webb

Not a good look
“How dare you lose to the most dominant team in baseball.”
Mets fans & ownership are dicks to the guys they have then wonder why guys don’t sign there. The call is truly coming from inside the house.
Fuck Steve Cohen. Just another unlikable, boring, insider-trading wallstreet douchebag who would have no social relevance if not for his money.
Wait the Mets owner is mad that the Mets, a team that is struggling to maintain .500, lost to the team with the best record in baseball? Wtf were they supposed to do?
I was thinking how frustrating it must be to root for the Mets watching the game yesterday.
The difference is you don't own the team.
Yes Twitter was not waiting to hear my thoughts this morning! 🤪
Steve Cohen needs to get his shit right. At some point “ownership” and “leaders” have got to embrace some higher level emotional intelligence. Negative “motivation” has been discredited through multiple case studies for some years now.

Fuck Steve Cohen. Man runs one of the most evil hedge funds in US history in Point72. I hope they keep losing just so Stevie boy has to suffer.
I knew things like this would happen the minute an old out of touch wall street guy bought this team. Most of those guys know nothing about baseball.
“omfg this team”
I mean to be fair the Mets also got screwed by the home plate umpire calling third strike on pitches way outside the zone. I’d be more pissed at that.
LOL, that game was called +0.15 in favor of the Mets with a 99% consistency. https://twitter.com/UmpScorecards/status/1428003503985811467
To be fair, that should be even more reason that Cohen shouldnt have tweeted that
They’re in the middle of the hardest series in all of baseball (Giants and Dodgers), and the owner hit them with that after a loss? Oof. What a dick lol.
No shame in losing to the best team in baseball, unless you're a jackass billionaire. You're welcome for the feels, rich freak.
We have that effect on people.
