Mets fans obsession with players playing out of position is ridiculous. The issues fans are talking about are very overblown. Not like the Mets are doing things we've never seen before. And everyone is acting like they are. Has nobody heard of Cal Ripken or Alex Rodriguez? Shortstops who moved to third base. Or what about Rod Carew or Jeff Kent? Second baseman who moved to first base. There are even more modern examples than there are historical examples. This is just a thing that has been done forever. It's becoming obvious a lot of fans aren't baseball fans and are only Mets fans.

Juan Soto is having a monster year so far: (52 G) .283 AVG | .931 OPS | 15 HR | 156 wRC | 1.9 WAR #LGM

Preferred Mets lineup Sunday: 1. Carson Benge (RF) 2. Bo Bichette (SS) 3. Juan Soto (LF) 4. Jared Young (1B) 5. A.J. Ewing (CF) 6. Marcus Semien (2B) 7. Brett Baty (3B) 8. Francisco Alvarez (C) 9. MJ Melendez (DH) #LGM

The Mets are currently operating with a 4-man rotation: 1. Nolan McLean (4.01 ERA/3.38 xERA) 2. Freddy Peralta (4.04 ERA/3.81 xERA) 3. Christian Scott (3.10 ERA/4.42 xERA) 4. Sean Manaea (5.02 ERA/4.19 xERA) They have strong internal depth to fill the 5th starter spot. Depth Options: David Peterson (5.75 ERA/4.71 xERA) Jonah Tong (3.60 ERA/3.87 xERA) Kodai Senga (9.00 ERA/4.73 xERA) Tobias Myers (4.05 ERA/3.39 xERA) Zach Thornton (8.31 ERA/8.31 xERA) Jack Wenninger (NA) One of these arms just needs to step up and lock it down until Clay Holmes returns from the IL to stabilize the group. #LGM

Preferred Mets lineup when healthy: Lineup- 1. Francisco Lindor (SS) 2. Bo Bichette (3B) 3. Juan Soto (LF) 4. Jorge Polanco (DH) 5. Carson Benge (RF) 6. Francisco Alvarez (C) 7. Brett Baty (1B) 8. Marcus Semien (2B) 9. A.J. Ewing (CF) Bench- Mark Vientos (1B) Jared Young (1B/OF) MJ Melendez (OF) Luis Torrens (C) #LGM

Story behind the Spiderman mask: Last week in Seattle, a fan randomly gifted Juan Soto the mask (and a Michael Jordan rookie card!) "He just gave it to me," Soto said. "OK, I'll take it." Carson Benge suggested using it for homers to switch up the Mets' mojo. So far, so good.

Run prevention?!?!

Marcus Semien’s 2026 Performance So Far: .275 wOBA / .324 xwOBA .350 SLG / .435 xSLG .220 BA / .264 xBA

This is New York not Philadelphia. Knicks fans should not be doing this. You don't see this type of behavior with the Mets, Yankees, Jets, Giants and Rangers. Embarrassing look for New York.

And that's why Brandon Nimmo was traded #LGM

Marcus Semien's last 11 games: .263 AVG | .939 OPS | 162 wRC | 4 HR | .401 wOBA

CARSON BENGE IS LOOKING GOOD

This guy still plays baseball?

Bring him to Queens @Mets

Since April 28th, the New York Mets rank 5th in MLB with a .331 xwOBA #LGM

The Mets surface stats have been brutal, but the underlying metrics paint a far more optimistic picture. AVG: .228 (29th) → xBA: .249 (8th) SLG: .362 (29th) → xSLG: .421 (6th) wOBA: .292 (29th) → xwOBA: .319 (15th) Since April 28th: .331 xwOBA (5th best in MLB) The ball is flying better than the box score shows. Positive regression incoming. #LGM

Best and Worst Defensive Runs Saved by Position

Believe it or not this is easily the best show on the @MLBNetwork that should tell you what a circus it is over there. This show sucks yet it's far better than every other program they air. I wish that was an exaggeration. Truly not worth watching this network. If you pay extra just for the MLB Network in your cable plan I don't know what you are doing save yourself the money and go watch YouTube or something SIGNIFICANTLY better baseball content over there!

This is a fantastic post if you ignore the fact that McNeil and Lindor seemed to HATE each other or at least not get along very well at all. Along with the fact that Semien was only acquired in order to move off a worse contract and call up Benge and Ewing. If you ignore those facts this is a great post but when you are actually aware of the context you understand it's not as cut and dry as this post makes it seem.
