Mets fans are LIVID at this...

This has Mets fans livid. Sean Mania had some choice words to say about the Mets fans in attendance for Alonso's 300th home run. Francisco Lindor somewhat backed him up. Rumors circulated that David Stearns was missing in action at Citi Field, and Steve Cohen got into another social media fight with the fans. What's going on, guys? I'm Josh Byrne. You're tuned into Mets Digest, guys. Thanks so much again for all of the supports. It does not go unnoticed, and this is just another day in Mets land. Another day of drama, unnecessary bad PR, and not really just a day. This has been the whole week with the Orioles coming into town, sweeping the Mets. We know the Mets season is long over at this point. Outside of the 10 games remaining, they really have nothing to play for. They haven't had anything to play for for a very long time, but Alonso coming in and hitting not one but two home runs and the reaction that he got, look it. Good for Alonso, but it sparked a lot more of these clown-esque stories and dialogue, bringing more bad media attention to the Mets, and hopefully that aspect of the season is over because as a New York team, as a big market team like the Mets are, when you underperform to the extent that they have, you have to expect that they're going to hear the noise, they're going to hear the music, and they certainly have. But Pete Alonso, we all know that he was a legend, and he is a legend, and he's going to surpass 500 home runs, and we all know he should have been retained by the Mets. That is not news, we all know. If you somehow weren't convinced that was the case already, then I hope this week did it for you. But the fans appreciated his return, they appreciated that he came back and put on a show, more of a show than the Mets put on, and Shamanaya took issue with it. And Lindor didn't go as far as Shamanaya, but he had some interesting comments as well, and of course the whole David Stearns and Steve Cohen nonsense.

Now let's get into what Shamanaya said. This was after the Tuesday night game in which Alonzo hit the 300th home run, and we all know that the fans gave him a standing ovation. Unfortunately he's not on the Mets anymore, Shamanaya said. Let's make this bigger, it's a lot to take in here from Shamanaya. Congrats to him, 300 home runs, but it's kind of crazy how things unfolded. As a team, I know we've definitely underperformed, but the guys in here worked their ass off every single day, and to have that kind of reaction to an opposing player, it's crazy to me. Really Sean? I get it, okay, the fans were, they weren't even rooting for the Orioles, they were rooting for Pete Alonzo. They need to get over themselves. This was an extremely specific situation, where you have a player that's a franchise legend coming into town in a lost season, during a season where we all know the team should have retained said franchise legend, and the team itself that the fans are paying to come see at the ballpark has nothing to play for. What do you think's gonna happen? It's not as if they said, oh you know, FU Mets, like we don't care anymore, we're like, we all know the deal. I don't quite understand why Mania felt the need to come at the fans. We all know this was a singular circumstance. It's not as if every other night Mets fans are going to be rooting for the opposition, and the Mets have not given the fans a lot of reason to be overly enthused to root for this team. Especially you Sean, who's been better, but you're the highest paid starting pitcher on the team, and you're right, the team has definitely underperformed. You're a big reason why. Shamania is a very likable guy. I like Shamania, and I can understand that he isn't thrilled that the fans were so overjoyed to see the Orioles tie the game in the ninth inning off an Alonzo home run, but take a look around. Smell the roses. The Mets aren't playing for playoffs. Alonzo is what brought the fans to the game these past few games. Not you, not anyone on the Mets. It's the guy that should still be on the Mets, and the fans have every right to react any way they so please. They spent their hard-earned money. As long as they're not harming anybody, as long as they're not doing anything illegal, they're allowed to be a fan just like I'm allowed to be a fan. If you don't like it, if you don't want to root for Alonzo, that's fine, but it's the lack of awareness from Mania that bothers me. And then Lindor, I think Lindor had a better quote that was a little more self-aware saying, it was cool to see how they showed out for him, how they gave him love. Next time, they got to give the pitcher a little more love too, because at the end of the day, we're trying to win the game. I would say he took it down a notch from where Mania was saying, this is crazy. Again, at the end here, you've got to give the pitcher a little more love. Look, Mets fans have given Kodai Senka plenty of love, and he's been good to his credit in the ninth inning. But again, I mean, smell the roses. This was going to happen. If you told me before the Mets played the Orioles this week, that Alonzo would hit a big home run to tie the game in the ninth inning. And you asked me, well, how do you think the crowd's going to react? I would have said that, you know, they would have lost their minds. They would have been overjoyed. They would have given him a standing ovation. It's not an insult to the players on the Mets, but I'll tell you who the fans were insulting, David Stearns, who according to David Lennon in the Foul Territory podcast had this to say, quote, David Stearns has not been seen around the ballpark the past couple of days, and I don't blame him for that. I can see why he's keeping a low profile. He does address the media once a homestand, which not many GMs do with any others. And I'm not sure he's going to do that this time around. He may wait until the end of the season. There was immediate pushback on this because Steve Cohen responded to a retweet of this quote and said, well, did I just see a clone of David Stearns or because I just saw him. And this is exactly what it looked like. Let's let's make this full screen. David Stearns hasn't been seen around Citi Field over the past couple of days. And Steve Cohen responds, that's strange. I was in the dugout pregame on Monday with a guy that looked like Stearns. Was it an imposter? I feel like I've said this every time that Steve Cohen has tweeted in the past six months. Just don't hit send. He's not wrong. Because when you think about fake news, if David Stearns was indeed in the ballpark and he was around, then yeah, this could constitute as that. But what David Lennon said about Stearns, about keeping a low profile, is frankly, outside of addressing the fans, addressing the media and continuing to be forthright about the direction of the team, which I think Steve Cohen has done a great job of since he's been an owner. But outside of that, in terms of these cute social media quips, it needs to end. It's not a good look and he needs to remain quiet because it's not that he's wrong in what he's saying. It's that he's drawing way more attention to it and making the Mets look and appear more like a circus than they already do. And hopefully this is the last ancillary drama soap opera-esque storyline we have to cover this season, which I'm sure, well, you never know. It feels like it would be. But it's one thing to be as sloppy and as underwhelming as the Mets have been, but another to be socially incompetent and unaware. And that's what they've been, and Mets fans are not having it. Let me know what you guys think down in the comments below, and as always guys, let's go Mets.
