The road goes on forever, and the suckage never ends.

the 610 midday show calls him the "substitute teacher"

Let Dana blow up this ***** and hide B**** and Reggie. Don't need amateurs in the room when big boy decisions are made.

When will we see some sort of accountability for this **** show? The quality of play is crap, but the lack of competitiveness is unacceptable.

So this team gets swept by the Cubs, splits with the Rockies and comes back home ****ting their britches after some bad Mexican water and gets curb stomped by the best record in the AL Guardians, Mariners who they can't hit on their best day and we'll all get to watch the Yankees put us down for the count in early May

Given this team's pedigree and the lack of focus/awful play; you're fully justified in firing Espada early. Again, he isn't just someone who takes a lineup card out and he shouldn't have any leash since he is basically a 5th year of Dusty Baker's regime.

Yep I think im on the fire espada train now also

He clearly has no answer to why this team is playing so poorly

When I watch this team, it is like no one cares. They don't give a **** they are losing.

Yep. Bum energy. Lost season.

Barring a very unlikely complete turnaround, we need to be sellers this summer. The only players I'm not trading are Altuve, Yordan, Pena, Diaz and Javier. Everyone else can go as we replenish the farm. I'd check in with Tucker, but I would NOT overpay to extend him. He would be our biggest trade piece when we start dismantling.

does JV have a no-trade clause?

either way...he would probably be willing to jump ship to a contender at midseason

Bregman does but I don't think JV does. He couldn't stop the Mets trade last year regardless of destination

Getting shoved by a nobody. Astro noodle bats do not discriminate.

Is this Parker's second career start? *********Cy Young out there mowing us down. Gonna pitch a 3 hit shut out.

I think Brown is more of a problem than Espada. He might not be a fiery leader but I'm not sure I see what he's going that's so wrong, the team is screwing up every way it's possible to screw up.

JV is in the clubhouse, Altuve is in the clubhouse, I trust those dudes to address the leadership crisis if there is one.

Brown is a glorified super scout who somehow got pushed into a GM position which has a helluva lot more to do than find talent.

It's official, we are the 2023 Mets. Are we smart enough to do what they did?

It's absolutely amazing to me what the last 18 months have done to the perception of Jim Crane & Cal McNair.

It's absolutely unreal.

Since there's nothing to discuss about this game, let's talk future.

Whether he fires a couple of worthless coaches or not, does Crane let this play out and call it an aberration with respect to the roster? If it continues off the rails as it has so far, does he consider a soft reset? If so, what would that be? If so, who are your untouchables? I'd assume Altuve, Peña, and Alvarez. Not sure you'd get enough value for Diaz yet, so I'd throw him in there also. Maybe Bregman, Valdez, and Tucker- they certainly would bring the most in return.

After today's game even if we went on that 8 game winning streak Dana Brown brings up… we'd still be under .500

Sorry guys, I couldn't help the team win today

Think you are spot on. Add JV to the list.

My untouchables …
Altuve, Yordan, Pena, Diaz, Javier, Blanco, Garcia, and Tucker/Framber (if you plan on extending them)

I'd also try to bring up Loperfido and Melton if they aren't already up by August to get them so experience.

I went to Crawfish Cafe, sat outside, and watched the Braves get to Eovaldi. Competent, half-a-****-given baseball is fun.

But you either need to make good in-game moves or get the best focus out of the ballclub or both. He has done neither. We could go without a manager and have the same record as we have now. So Espada can go too. He is a player's manager and he said so. The only thing that the jury is still out on for Espada is bullpen management because it's too early in the season. But so far he scores an F minus across the board.

The veterans also need to be called out. They are showing zero pride.
