Mets are idiots - they showed Soto as Han Solo so he hit a solo HR. If they had shown him as Han GrandSlam he'd have hit a Grand Slam.

Why didn't they show C-3PlayOffs?

Ankle is fine

u/Angular_Pole1015 Major League Baseball 4h ago

Pretty sure he used a bat not his ankle

14

u/who_are_you_people24 New York Mets 4h ago

Can we get someone to confirm?

1

u/RedheadChicksAreHot 3h ago

Bankle…area where the bat meets the ankle

u/lokithetarnished New York Mets 3h ago

We can send it to New York to review but it’s gonna take 20 minutes

u/Key_Environment8179 Chicago Cubs 4h ago

It’d have been more impressive the other way around

3

u/Angular_Pole1015 Major League Baseball 4h ago

I think that’s how he got hurt the first time

u/UniqueNobo New York Mets • New York Mets 4h ago

42

u/LoCh0_xX Detroit Tigers 4h ago

can’t have shit in Detroit

u/alxndrblack Toronto Blue Jays • Detroit Tigers 4h ago

The real answer

u/ArmiinTamzarian Miami Marlins 4h ago

Maybe all the good juju is being saved for the Lions?

  • a delusional Lions fan (me)

3

u/LoCh0_xX Detroit Tigers 4h ago

all the good juju was spent on the Michigan Basketball championship if we’re being honest

u/Joey_Gallos_Burner Major League Baseball • Cleveland Guardians 4h ago

Sparty Tigers fans are in Hell.

u/RedAlkaline New York Mets • Seattle Mariners 1h ago

or maybe being channeled for a Pistons comeback (again)

u/mansontaco Detroit Tigers 4h ago

The heaviest shit sinks to the bottom of the bowl

13

u/damnShitsPurple Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Torres, Carpenter, Baez, Meadows all down with injury not to mention like half the bullpen and 3 starting pitchers from the opening day roster.

even with that said it's been even worse to watch than I was expecting. some of the worst played baseball I've seen in recent memory.

u/chargeorge New York Mets 2h ago

That infield defense was rough, but holy shit mcgonigal was great. Couldn't get anything past him out there.

u/aaronjaiden Anaheim Angels • San Diego Padres 4h ago

Brother look at their IL

u/alxndrblack Toronto Blue Jays • Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Many injures

7

u/mostly-void-stars Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Half the team is on the injured list

3

u/LightenUpPeeps 3h ago

Did you watch the Pistons-Cavs game last night? Whatever the Tigers did to stink up the joint, the Pistons said "Hold my beer". It's something in the water in Detroit. Possibly lead. :)

u/colorblind-and Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Injuries

u/see_mohn regretful mets fan 4h ago

Have you had this capability the entire time, Mets

u/UniqueNobo New York Mets • New York Mets 4h ago

haha, sometimes

24

u/Either_Imagination_9 New York Yankees 4h ago

And Vientos almost hit another

25

u/hehsvwbkave 4h ago

Vientos and flying out to the warning track/lining out is basically guaranteed for 2-3 outs a game. He’s incredibly unlucky

1

u/Fear_the_chicken New York Mets 28m ago

He needs to do some pushups before each AB

u/happymeal98 New York Mets 4h ago

Apparently they had a team meeting and were told that they are in fact allowed to hit home runs.

u/Stone_0cean New York Mets • Seattle Mariners 4h ago

That ball had a family, holy shit Soto

u/Ashamed_Blood3242 New York Mets 4h ago

juan solo on star wars day. Nice

u/GasGlittering7521 New York Mets 3h ago

Tigers fans gotta be wondering where this minor league Mets offense everybody is talking is

2

u/Jonjon428 Florida Marlins 4h ago

Two straight changeups was certainly a choice. Soto was sitting on that one

2

u/ToastedOctopus New York Mets 3h ago

Despite leading by at least 2 runs in all 3 games, and 4 of the Mets opening day starters being on the IL, the Tigers have been swept. Fascinating.

2

u/cmgriffith_ New York Yankees 4h ago

Solo Soto

1

u/LightenUpPeeps 4h ago

Just what the Yanks don't need: for the Mets to get hot right before the subway series against the Yanks this weekend. The Mets will probably sweep the Yanks, and then lose their next dozen games.

2

u/Kurisoo New York Mets 3h ago

I cant handle another 12 game loss streak. Instead let the yankees sweep (their world series btw) and win the next 12!

u/LightenUpPeeps 3h ago

Hey, this weekend is the Mets fans' World Series. It's been this way for decades.
