Later Pete Alonso, later Nimmo, later Jeff McNeil, later half the lineup. They kept Lindor because Lindor is like a fan favorite. But there's a lot of chatter that Lindor and Juan Soto don't like each other, And it started with Lindor not necessarily welcoming Soto, where Soto thought he deserved a welcome to Queens, welcome to the Mets. Well, remember, Aaron Judge was also like the welcoming committee. He was like apparently overboard, kind and friendly with Juan Soto. And that report …”

Juan Soto feels unwelcome in New York, particularly due to his strained relationship with teammate Francisco Lindor. While Lindor offers a professional facade about their bond, Soto expresses a sense of camaraderie with his Dominican Republic team, highlighting the stark contrast in team dynamics. This tension reflects deeper issues within the Mets' locker room and Soto's struggle for personal expression in a rigid environment.
“… And that breaker right there is absolutely filthy. So, again, you mentioned like somebody needs to step up. Somebody needs to step up in this Mets rotation. And him and him and Freddie together, I think, will be really, really special. I am worried about innings and if they try to limit some because that's what organizations tend to do. But I don't think they're going to be in a position to do that this year. I think this is a team that's going to be fighting for a playoff spot. And I think he's going to be a big part of if they get in. So I'm going to go Nolan McClain here with my guy. …”
“… you watch this guy throw I mean he looks dominant He's on Team USA right now in eight games last year. A 206, a 104 whip. Like he just, he kind of like looks the part. I like the low arm angle that he's got. Like he just kind of, everything's deceptive. And that breaker right there is absolutely filthy. So, again, you mentioned like somebody needs to step up.

Nolan McClain, a rising star on Team USA, boasts an impressive 206 ERA and a 104 WHIP from last season, yet he's never received a vote for recognition. With a deceptive low arm angle and a repertoire of pitches, he’s poised to make a significant impact in the Mets rotation this year, especially as they fight for a playoff spot. His unique skill set could be the difference-maker for the team, making him a player to keep an eye on.
“… can't move backwards Once you see Juan Soto high-fiving his Dominican teammates and compadres, you can't bring that weak-ass, dull energy to the Mets. You can't be hanging naked from a chandelier on vacation and then just lay there when you get home.”
“… there's no moving back because people know what you're capable of and isn't that an old chris rock bit like men can't move back you can't be sexually and women can't move back financially like once they've seen that once they've experienced this they can't move backwards Once you see Juan Soto high-fiving his Dominican teammates and compadres, you can't bring that weak-ass, dull energy to the Mets. You can't be hanging naked from a chandelier on vacation and then just lay there when you get home.”

Juan Soto must elevate his game with the Mets, or risk disappointing fans who expect his vibrant energy. Just like a husband who smiles fishing but frowns at home, Soto's past performances set a high standard that he can't ignore. If he doesn't bring the same joy and enthusiasm to Queens, fans will feel let down.
“… I mean, he ran for like five touchdowns. It was embarrassing, but it was such an experience, and it was great. And then I worked for the New York Jets, Ryan, and it was also great, but the Jets are the Jets. And there was a lot of drama in the locker room, outside of the locker room, all of that I also went through. It's been a grind. But yeah, so then COVID happened, and everyone lost their jobs that worked in live sports. At the time, I was working for the New York Mets, just on their jumbotron. It was honestly a job that I took a downgrade for, because I was like a jumbotron girl. …”

They told me I was going to talk actual baseball, but I essentially was just promoting Dunkin Donuts gift cards every freaking night of my life.

When COVID hit, I went from a sports journalist to unemployed and questioning my future. While living with my grandmother, I discovered my father's vintage collectibles, which led me to a profitable eBay business and a new passion in sports memorabilia. This journey taught me to work smarter, not harder, and sparked a creative project to educate others about the hobby.
