I didn't think it would fall apart like it did toward the tail end of the year.

And they found a jewel in Nolan McClain.

I don't know what Jonah Tong is going to be.

His fastball looked a little short when it comes to major league level.

It didn't have the late life that you're looking for.

But I think they found something, obviously, in a big-time talent in Nolan McClain.

But the reason, though, why the Mets failed this past season –

The nonsense about everything else, the pitching stunk, and the moves that Stearns made at the MLB trade deadline were disastrous.

Oh, well, Cashman won a lot.

I mean, I don't, you know, and the fans are, listen, and Stearns is, you know, Stearns is, you know, quirky a little bit.

You know, doesn't really give you all that much.

Keeps everything close to the vest.

The Alonzo signing should not be, and I understand why my fans are irate.

You love him, right?

You love him.

You loved him as a homegrown Met.

You love the moment that he had becoming the all-time home run Met, you know, all-time, you know, home run leader in Met franchise history.

You know, the call by Gary Cohen that night and, you know, the graphic that they had on in center field and everything like that.

And Alonzo has had a lot of big moments for the New York Mets.

It's going to be very, very difficult to go out there and replicate that production.
