"I'm a little bit speechless. This is very explosive. In the years that I've been with the Mets, I have not seen this kind of moving in a new direction, I guess. It is profound." Keith Hernandez joins Eamon McAnaney on SportsNite to discuss Pete Alonso signing a five-year... deal with the Orioles and the Mets' continued breaking up of their core: ➡️ Hondashow more

@emacSNY I give Keith credit. He is negotiating a new contract with SNY so he has to be careful but you can tell he is not happy.

@SNYtv @emacSNY Keith looking shellshocked like all of us

@emacSNY Stearns built teams have won exactly 1 playoff series ever, and it was 3 years removed from his leaving (they got swept the next round). The Mets made a huge mistake in acquiring him.

@emacSNY

@emacSNY “Going in a new direction of pitching….”? Where’s that upgraded pitching? We went from Diaz to Williams

@emacSNY This all comes down to Stearns' ego. He wants "his" team. He has to burn it down so that he gets his shot at "glory." But we're talking about a team that was a season out from an NLCS appearance and melted down last season over *pitching.* Why not just address the pitching? EGO.

@emacSNY Keith wanted Pete back. Keith knows ball.

@emacSNY The problem is they're doing an awful job communicating it

@emacSNY Its too hard on the fan base. Trading nimmo/ letting pete walk for nothing. Been a fan since 69. Im no longer.

@emacSNY Where is the pitching? Stearn was at fault for the collapse last year. Horrible pitching decisions

@emacSNY No pitching and no offense.

@emacSNY Keith knows the Mets struck out in the big spot here.

@emacSNY The branding of lifetime Met Pete Alonso would’ve paid for itself even if he was bad for 1 or 2 years. He was the Wright and Pizza of this generation. This will never make sense.

@emacSNY Sterns is power crazed. Losing Alonso, Diaz and Nimmo was horrible. Cohen should fire Sterns for incompetence and total disregard for Mets' fans wishes. He should have signed Alonso and Diaz 3 weeks ago, asap after he signed Williams.

@emacSNY Pitching isn't great either and the defense isn't exactly all that greatly improved as of yet. This rotation is pretty damn far from Seaver, Koosman, Gentry, & Ryan

@emacSNY This is the worst week for us fans since the Saturday Night Massacre, trading The Franchise.

@emacSNY And where was Stearns today? Hiding from the media with his smug Ivy League smile. He was the kid who got his ass kicked growing up amd he’s afraid to face the fans cause they’re ready to kick his ass now

@emacSNY Keith is internally crashing out

@emacSNY Agreed, It’s Fucking Pathetic , Keith

@emacSNY The overreaction for a closer that got replaced & letting go of a 30 year old first basemen is wild. Devin at his highest is every bit as good as Diaz … and more consistent. Pete is a great Met but if he wasn’t in our uniform I wouldn’t want him. Mets fans are mentally unstable

@emacSNY

@emacSNY It’s not profound. It’s stupidity. They haven’t even been transparent to the fans nor the players about what they’re doing. Which is why other coaches are literally LAUGHING in the Mets faces right now

@emacSNY I get it after another bungled season to shake things up but to lose 3 core longtime Mets hero’s is not the way to improve. I would bet they are 10 games u der 500 in 26. Looks like a clown show 🤡

@emacSNY

@emacSNY Yeah sounds great Keith. 69 Mets. Got it. Next up show me on this team who the Seaver, Goodman Gentry is in the starting rotation. And the McGraw and Ron Taylor in the bullpen. The .340 Cleon Jones in LF. And who the 20HR 20SB Gold Glove CF Agee is on the team. I'll wait.

@emacSNY They are not moving in a new direction their best players are however.

@emacSNY FUCK YOU David Stearns you useless sack of shit

@emacSNY Seaver and Koosman combined for 34 complete games. Met starters can’t pitch 4 innings.

@SNYtv @emacSNY So the Mets are gonna win with pitching and defense - and don’t try and sign their best pitcher? Plus their pitching sucks except for Diaz. Ugh these guys are a disaster.

@emacSNY What pitching???!!!

@emacSNY Was very interested to see what @keithhernandez had to say on this. I’m speechless, in shock & very sad. This “new direction “ is destroying what was working so well & creating worse problems. Attendance was at an all time high greatly due to Alonso, Nimmo & Diaz. Will miss them

@emacSNY If Cohen has half a brain he will make Keith his right hand man and let him call the shots. He knows the game better than Stearns or any other of these moneyball clowns

@emacSNY Keith’s heart broken

@emacSNY At least it seems like we aren't losing Keith too.

@emacSNY Except our pitching sucks Keith
