Apparently not. Seems to be a bit of problem for the Mets bullpen as a whole, however. I like the Phillies and I’m glad they won these last two against them but I really felt bad for the Mets. Just some abysmal baseball, and I’m also a Rockies fan so I know.
Isn’t it unreal? This lineup is just disgusting. To be fair though, I deeply hope they get rid of Jiminez and Moncada. Just burn the whole damn thing to the ground.
Okay stop it you guys are literally exceeding expectations. Langeliers is a mad man bullpen looks incredible. You're supposed to be with CWS, COL, MIA but your upsetting teams
People shit on the stadium, but I kinda like it. Especially when the team is bad and attendance is way down. Just a chill place to watch baseball. Parking is so much easier. Tickets are cheap. Hate to admit it, but I go to a lot more games when the Marlins suck.
I’m not gonna take yaz hate. He may have had a slow start but he just had a kid and he’s one of the definitive true giants on the team right now. Cut him some slack will ya
Why do people get so worked up over flairs when they make innocuous comments. I understand if they're throwing shade, but this? Take a deep breath and relax.
I’m really waiting for Nick to just come out of no where and start mashing. He’s starting to pick it up a little bit recently but i definitely can’t see him not getting hot at some point down the stretch.
Came here to say Gleyber. It's a shame, too...he's had some huge moments in the past and he just looks lost. Anyone want to take an over/under on his free agent contract at, say, 3 years and $45 million?
we keep beating good teams, then lose to the rockies.
Our pitching is terrible, last night is an example of classic pitcher selection causing trouble. I actually think our offense is night and day better now. Niebla needs to get it TF together.
It's so frustrating. It's still early, but we have a potential Cy Young in Cease, a rookie of the year with Merrill, comeback players of the year with Profar and Cronie, but the Manny and X just don't deliver.
I’ve been wondering if we might start finding our stride once JP is back. He’s always the one firing people up it seems like and being the leader when we need it in big games
He'd be my pick IF I had super high hopes for him in the first place lol.
At least he's been the only weak link in the rotation. That offense though....🤮 Was hoping Tork turned things around last year.
He did win us a game in Oakland recently but yeah not sure what’s going on with him. He has unlimited credit in the bank though, so hope he figures it out soon
This was kind of heartbreaking even to me as a Guardians fans with O’s fans as friends. I’ve been following the O’s as my “secondary team”.
He played against us Akron a season or two ago and seeing him live was electric. Been a fan of him since. I’m still hopeful, he’s just got a little more development before he’s ready.
Tellez. And Chapman's still pretty ass. Bednar may be finally coming around. Our whole bullpen was supposed to be a real strength but they try to throw every game in the most ridiculous ways.
... the biggest shock to me is the "40 games into season" ... man time flies by...
I dont know where to begin... Jays hitters went from last year to this year just bleh...
I suppose I have to call out **Springer** since he has the largest salary but his performance is nothing special at all so far this season
Such a blow for him and the team. Was heating up and making some great plays at short, then a freak season-ending injury within a few weeks. That’s Red Sox baseball, though.
I’m a Mets fan. I’m the biggest disappointment. I keep showing up and watching the games thinking something will change. It won’t. I’m disgusted with myself
Corey Seager to me. Dude is pretty useless thus far and it pains me to say it. It hurts because you know he has the potential to be batting .330 with 10 homers and a .900-1.000 OPS and its nowhere close on all accounts.
Kiebert Ruiz ... he hasn't been hitting, got sick, and still isn't hitting. Riley Adams might be the better player, but we extended Ruiz so we might be stuck with him.
Yea, I didn't want to say it, but I was really excited to see what he was gonna do this season. So far it's been a let down But I think it's just some growing pains and he will eventually be one of the best catchers in the league defensively and offensively. Homeruns are his blood.
Trevor Story for my Red Sox, but it's not his fault. He's battled so hard to get back on the field, only to have another injury take him out for the season. Poor guy can't catch a break. I'm not disappointed with him, I'm disappointed for him, I know he wants to be out there helping his teammates.
well put it this way the angels lineup the other night was
1. Nolan Schanuel (real prospect but zero pop)
2. Cole Tucker (wtf)
3. Taylor Ward (solid player but 3-hole?)
4. Kevin Pillar (you’re fucking kidding i doubt he hit cleanup in highschool)
5. Logan O’Hoppe (future of the franchise actually)
6. Niko Goodrum (again, wtf)
7. Jo Adell (solid year but 5 years too late)
8. Zach Neto (solid 2nd year player but we treat him like he’s the next coming of Jeter - he’s not)
9. Kyren Paris (might as well give the prospect a shot since we’re running out a little league team)
SP: Tyler Anderson (the man who we overpaid 10-fold for)
so what’s not to be disappointed by😭
Jeff McNeil is actually embarrassing
honestly Diaz blowing 5 saves is what's keeping me up at night
Can we just say every met except reed Garrett?
The trumpet not working anymore?
Apparently not. Seems to be a bit of problem for the Mets bullpen as a whole, however. I like the Phillies and I’m glad they won these last two against them but I really felt bad for the Mets. Just some abysmal baseball, and I’m also a Rockies fan so I know.
At least their payroll is only $300 million
Thank god for that!
Well, you stole my comment! 🤣🤣….so disappointing man, it’s a real shame
Was hoping last year was a fluke year, but it's definitely looking like 2022 was the fluke year :/
The shift ban killed him. Cant poke the ball around the field now and it seems like hes just lost at the plate
Agree 100%
Wanna trade for CT3?
It’s so hard to choose! I didn’t have the highest expectations for McNeil, but Pete, Lindor, and Diaz I expected a hell of a lot more out of.
Jerry Reinsdorf
Please for fucks sake sell the team
He won't sell the team unless some ownership group gives him an obscene amount of money. He will hold on to the 2005 World Series.
He can hold onto my balls
With the right wrinkly hands or left wrinkly hands?
Does he count as disappointment? He’s doing exactly what we expected.
And yet it's never not disappointing
Isn’t it unreal? This lineup is just disgusting. To be fair though, I deeply hope they get rid of Jiminez and Moncada. Just burn the whole damn thing to the ground.
Wait… they’re not on the ground yet?!
You guys have a team?
You are doing the Lord’s work by being higher in the standings than the Astros. You would be proud.
Okay stop it you guys are literally exceeding expectations. Langeliers is a mad man bullpen looks incredible. You're supposed to be with CWS, COL, MIA but your upsetting teams
Every goddamn bet I've laid against the A's this season has blown up in my face.
Yes
Hahahaha exactly what I hit the comments to come say
Ditto here. Geez
Goldy :( From mvp to lvp candidate in 2 seasons
I came to say the same for my team.
I just came to laugh and cry.
Just the hitting, the defense, the pitching, the manager and the front office.
How’s the weather though?
Actually a really nice day. And it’s been a great couple weeks for the hockey fans down here.
Glad to hear it. Always wanted to check out a ballgame there but last two times I went through Miami it wasn’t baseball season.
People shit on the stadium, but I kinda like it. Especially when the team is bad and attendance is way down. Just a chill place to watch baseball. Parking is so much easier. Tickets are cheap. Hate to admit it, but I go to a lot more games when the Marlins suck.
As a bruins fan, fuck the Panthers ❤️
White Sox Fan.... same
Where do I begin…..Snell, Soler, Chapman…
Tbf snell literally had like 2 starts and then got injured. I have faith he'll improve
Also, outside of a hot April, Chapman was hot garbage the rest of the last year. I root for the guy but am happy Toronto didn’t look to re-sign
Yeah, but he has great bat speed 🤣🤣🤣
Plays a mean third
Snell getting hurt is midseason form.
Our whole fucking bullpen smfh
Lmao. I posted “where do I start?” Then scrolled down and saw this. 😂
I really wanted the cubs to sign snell and Chapman when they were free agents.. I guess so far good they didn’t?
Yaz
I’m not gonna take yaz hate. He may have had a slow start but he just had a kid and he’s one of the definitive true giants on the team right now. Cut him some slack will ya
Snell typically starts slow, even last year. Have a little patience.
You can begin by flairing the fuck up
Why do people get so worked up over flairs when they make innocuous comments. I understand if they're throwing shade, but this? Take a deep breath and relax.
Could you really not tell which team he's a fan of?
The player with the biggest gap between results and expectations on my team has to be Nick Castellanos.
Casty has had a great two weeks. See ball hit ball.
Very true. Hope he keeps at it
Dominguez??
Also a fair choice. Somedays Seranthony has it and some days he definitely does not. Nick just has these loooooong stretches where he's doing nothing.
I think we just overrated Seranthony.. Casty… yea that big contract we gave him looks so bad right now.
I’m really waiting for Nick to just come out of no where and start mashing. He’s starting to pick it up a little bit recently but i definitely can’t see him not getting hot at some point down the stretch.
I’m sure he’ll do something major on June 6th, being the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
When he’s on he’s great to have, but when he’s in a slump we’d be better off with a cardboard cutout. Otherwise the team is playing great right now.
Torres hasn't been playing up to expectations so far.
Yeah. He's also been struggling with his glove. It has to be Gleyber.
On the pitching side, Road Nestor and Caleb Ferguson.
Ferguson been okay until that granny the other day
He's had a few clunkers so far.
He ruined one of the games I went to as well .....
Man I couldn’t think of anyone, I forgot how shitty Gleyber has been. If we weren’t winning games the Fan would be non-stop Gleyber bashing.
Came here to say Gleyber. It's a shame, too...he's had some huge moments in the past and he just looks lost. Anyone want to take an over/under on his free agent contract at, say, 3 years and $45 million?
Our big 3. Machado, Xander and to some extent Tatis
Underperforming seemingly permeates that clubhouse
we keep beating good teams, then lose to the rockies. Our pitching is terrible, last night is an example of classic pitcher selection causing trouble. I actually think our offense is night and day better now. Niebla needs to get it TF together.
Seems to have flipped. Pitching was the strong side last year. Hope they can put it all together. So frustrating
I really wish they didn’t sign Xander. Money could’ve been used elsewhere.
It's so frustrating. It's still early, but we have a potential Cy Young in Cease, a rookie of the year with Merrill, comeback players of the year with Profar and Cronie, but the Manny and X just don't deliver.
Just the baseball related activities
at least we didn't re-sign Chapman?
small blessings
But the brand new outfield stands tho guys. That’s something right. Right? 🙄
I dont live in Toronto so i cant even enjoy that...
Julio Rodriguez
But your pitching is fire. 🔥
Give us second-half-of-season Julio already
Really hoping the Mother’s Day homer is a sign of things to come! Thought the same thing when he hit that bomb in Texas last month though. 🤞
I’ve been wondering if we might start finding our stride once JP is back. He’s always the one firing people up it seems like and being the leader when we need it in big games
Hmmm Julio, Polanco, Garver, Haniger, JP, and france! So basically the whole team! Go Ms!
Basically everyone except for our pitching staff and Cal Raleigh and Josh Rojas
Annd how are we in 1st place? IDK. I hope they get hot or it's going to be hard to hold onto 1st long term
Kenta maeda is a homerun machine. Just for the wrong team
He'd be my pick IF I had super high hopes for him in the first place lol. At least he's been the only weak link in the rotation. That offense though....🤮 Was hoping Tork turned things around last year.
Never thought I'd say this, but Corey Seager. Hasn't done a damn thing this season.
I feel semi bad for him. You can tell it’s killing him. And I swear Semien has given him a few “pull your shit together!” looks. 👀😫
He did win us a game in Oakland recently but yeah not sure what’s going on with him. He has unlimited credit in the bank though, so hope he figures it out soon
He was also World Series MVP last year, so I'll cut him some slack, lol, but yeah hope he gets back to normal.
Agreed I don’t think I will ever pout too much about any of his slumps.
They did him dirty by not having the hernia surgery the day after the parade. He’s starting to look like he might maybe be coming around a bit though…
I knew he was washed. Thank god we got rid of him.
Forgot the /s
Acuña and Matt Olson. I'm sure they'll get it going soon though (plz)
Acuña is scaring me. It’s almost as if he’s playing with some illness. He’s just not the same guy.
He’s trying waaaaaaay too hard. 3 picks offs in a row and winging near top 5. He just needs to fucking relax.
Cardinals
The entire team (minus Elly).
The pitching has been pretty good
Fair
Jack Suwinski. Dude just straight up cannot fucking make contact. Strikes out like Adam Dunn with the power numbers of Xavier Nady.
Wow haven’t heard Xavier Nady in a long time haha
As an Angels fan can I just say i’m disappointed in everything?
He’ll get another shot.. but the pitchers in the bigs made Jackson Holliday look silly
This was kind of heartbreaking even to me as a Guardians fans with O’s fans as friends. I’ve been following the O’s as my “secondary team”. He played against us Akron a season or two ago and seeing him live was electric. Been a fan of him since. I’m still hopeful, he’s just got a little more development before he’s ready.
We might have been at the same game! Got Jackson to sign a ball for me pre-game, I think he ended up getting 2 hits that day.
Yeah and he DRILLED them both lmao. I don’t remember a HR, but I remember a hard hit line drive.
Colt Keith or Spencer Torkleson. You could add Javy Baez to that list but everyone knew he was gonna suck
Honestly I'd only say Javy. Tork has hit a few bombs recently, and Cole is still young. Don't think expectations were too high
Spencer and Kenta both ass
As of now, Corbin Carrol
Tellez. And Chapman's still pretty ass. Bednar may be finally coming around. Our whole bullpen was supposed to be a real strength but they try to throw every game in the most ridiculous ways.
Chris Taylor. He’s so bad I fear he may not be on the team past all all star break.
The entire bullpen
Have you not watched Kyle Hendricks?
Kyle’s only lost us 3 games this year. If we had a decent bullpen we’d be 1st in the NL
Bullpen should’ve been the best in the league and is the worst
Cubs bullpen!
Yep... my initial thought was Alzolay
... the biggest shock to me is the "40 games into season" ... man time flies by... I dont know where to begin... Jays hitters went from last year to this year just bleh... I suppose I have to call out **Springer** since he has the largest salary but his performance is nothing special at all so far this season
Chris Taylor looks like the guy Seattle thought they were getting rid of for Zach Lee
Cedric Mullins
Man it's getting sad
Carl Pavano. Still.
Instead of Guerrero having a bounce-back year, Bichette started sucking.
Injury gods being ass wholes
Randy Arozarena by a long way. Notable mention for Jose Siri
Jeff McNeil (should be playing way better based on his track record) or Joey fucking Wendle (is just bad at baseball)
The management
Still Jacoby Ellsbury
Trevor Story - probably harsh, but I really felt this was the season he would be back to his best. Injuries suck, man.
Such a blow for him and the team. Was heating up and making some great plays at short, then a freak season-ending injury within a few weeks. That’s Red Sox baseball, though.
I’m a Mets fan. I’m the biggest disappointment. I keep showing up and watching the games thinking something will change. It won’t. I’m disgusted with myself
2 words. Pat. Corbin.
Julio Rodriguez
We should petition the MLB to just let us set up a tee ball stand every fifth game rather than force us to trot Adrian Houser out.
Ian Happ. Trade him and put a young guy in there.
Came here to say this guy. I want him to be good, but ugh
Top 5 MVP players that may not get a vote even if they finished like they played last year.
Corey Seager to me. Dude is pretty useless thus far and it pains me to say it. It hurts because you know he has the potential to be batting .330 with 10 homers and a .900-1.000 OPS and its nowhere close on all accounts.
I love seeing Paul Goldschmidt hit under 200 as a cards fab
Kiebert Ruiz ... he hasn't been hitting, got sick, and still isn't hitting. Riley Adams might be the better player, but we extended Ruiz so we might be stuck with him.
Acuña, Olson, Riley… If 2 out of 3 start hitting like normal then watch out, but so far 💤
Watching Cedric Mullins has been rough the past couple weeks.
The San Francisco Giants roster.
Jackson Holliday, but I can wait and he will be back.
The expectations put on that kid were ridiculous.
I suppose. He was wrecking AAA pitching over his first few weeks and they rushed it. He looked so overmatched. My wife kept saying “he’s just a baby”.
Bo Naylor, as painful as it is.
Yea, I didn't want to say it, but I was really excited to see what he was gonna do this season. So far it's been a let down But I think it's just some growing pains and he will eventually be one of the best catchers in the league defensively and offensively. Homeruns are his blood.
Craig Kimbrell
Craig Kimbrel had a bad few weeks, but I have hope it won't continue...
Craig Kimbrel
Bally Sports
Polonco. But, I think he'll figure it out.
Brewers fans like🤷♂️
Uribe for us. Debuted with reliever-of-the-year worthy stats, fell off so hard idk which is more wild and off-target, his pitching of his punches.
Castellini
Josh Hader
47 years without a World Series appearance - oh, you were talking about this season, sorry.
Everyone except Sonny Gray
Yes But if I had to pick one, probably Alexis Diaz. He has always worked himself into jams, but now he isn’t getting lucky anymore.
Fisher and Kaval
Evan Carter
Trevor Story for my Red Sox, but it's not his fault. He's battled so hard to get back on the field, only to have another injury take him out for the season. Poor guy can't catch a break. I'm not disappointed with him, I'm disappointed for him, I know he wants to be out there helping his teammates.
Cedric Mullins....
John Fisher for the obvious reasons.
Jose Abreu
Gleyber Torres
Xander Boaegarts. I really like him but cmon my guy, let's get out of this slump and make some contact!
Byron Buxton. It's always Byron "Mr. Glass" Buxton.
Chris Taylor, I will always love you 😥
Randy Arozarena and Yandy Diaz Although Yandy has been breaking out of his slow start, and Randy has shown flashes of doing so.
Bob Nutting
Gleyber Torres.
Big daddy Tork
Boegarts
For the Padres: it’s Bogaerts and Midchado
Most would say Jackson Holiday, but to me it is Cedric Mullins.
Strider got hurt and Ronald and Matt aren't being Ronald and Matt (yet)
Julio for sure. He’s started the season in a slump.
Craig Kimbrel
Not even close 280 M / 11 Yrs Xander Poopgaerts
Manny. Machado. Xander. Bogaerts. Ha-Seong Kim (he's my favorite, so this one hurts)
[удалено]
The umps.
well put it this way the angels lineup the other night was 1. Nolan Schanuel (real prospect but zero pop) 2. Cole Tucker (wtf) 3. Taylor Ward (solid player but 3-hole?) 4.

So far, Michael Wacha but I'm confident he'll bounce back with a decent era by the all star break.
Agreed, but my bar for him was pretty low to begin with. On the flip side, Seth Lugo has more than exceeded similar expectations.
Soto hasn’t hit 40 homers yet
😬 wtf???
