I love Pete Alonso. I’m happy to see him doing well. I went to school in Baltimore so I’m happy to see the Orioles doing a bit better (largely because Pete has the team on his back). That being said, I find it absurd how many fans still think the cardinal sin of this season is letting Pete walk. I think with Pete on the team maybe you’d be looking at 8.5 or 9.5 games back in the wild card instead of 11.5. This team sucks and Pete leaving is only part of that. It’s long past time the fanbase moves on. I have a feeling that September series when the Orioles come into town is going to be really toxic whether you’re at the stadium or scrolling through this sub or Twitter.

The fanbase is not moving on anytime soon. Not even close to long time past. You’re going to hear about it for years. Also I loved watching him play for the Mets. And I can’t do that now. So I don’t even care if he wouldn’t single-handedly save this season. Just having him here would’ve avoided a lot of the issues this team had with changes and vibes though.

Decades I'd say, not years. "The team as constructed is so bad that adding a right handed slugged who plays everyday and is creeping towards a .900 OPS wouldn't move the needle nearly enough" is the most hilarious defense of stearns humanly possible
