is Stearns cursing himself?

[u/Sig223M]

seeing how he abandoned the Brewers to come to the Mets, I guess he has 50 million reasons why he is glad he came if you think money is everything, I seriously wonder if he is rooting for or against the Brewers considering this is essentially his team

[u/sometimes_a_dog]

we don't have to talk about stearns right now

[u/Other-Aside-1170 → u/sometimes_a_dog]

The parasocial hatred is getting a bit weird all around

[u/Sig223M → u/sometimes_a_dog]

what else is there to talk about? the fact it is Duaner Sanchez's birthday today? I would say talking about Stearns is extremely relevant now

[u/sometimes_a_dog → u/Sig223M]

sny aired a fun game today from 2010, we could talk about that

after scoring 6 runs in the 8th, ike davis hit a ball over the old, short, citi field foul pole that they called foul, looked like a homer

[u/Genericide224]

I'm sure he's happy for all the people he used to work with that are still there.

I'm sure he'd be much happier if his current team didn't suck.

"considering this is essentially his team"

There are 6 Brewers on this team that were on David Stearns last Brewers team. A few more might have been in the minors but this is definitely not "his team."

[u/Sig223M → u/Kindly_Square8784]

you do know minor leaguers are guys who are acquired by the big clubs GMs

[u/Alternative-Monk-545 → u/Kindly_Square8784]

That’s a quarter

[u/Life_Database_7038]

He’s a lifelong Mets fan making a huge salary and watching the team he spent years building succeed. I imagine he’s happier than you imagine. He doesn’t build an organization overnight. Brewers are his proof of concept.

[u/SwarthySphere87 → u/Life_Database_7038]

You can tell he's a lifelong Mets fan cause he builds rosters like Steve Phillips, Jim Duquette & Omar Minaya joke

[u/Schwettes → u/Life_Database_7038]

Hi Dave!

[u/Sig223M → u/Life_Database_7038]

and he is also hated by the fans based on the last 2 years

[u/Alternative-Monk-545 → u/Sig223M]

He shouldn’t care what the fans think of him

[u/metsfan5000]

Obviously he is not behind this current brewers team, given he is completely inept, from his general baseball philosophy to his player acquisitions to his coaching hires.

[u/wooden-spoon-88 → u/metsfan5000]

He acquired and developed a good chunk of the current Brewers roster. You can criticize what he’s done with the Mets without being weird about it.

[u/Schwettes → u/wooden-spoon-88]

Now let’s talk about the chunk of players he acquired and developed on the failed 2026 Mets.

[u/Plenty-Boot4220]

I hope he's cursing himself. he deserves to be cursed. :-(

[u/AirDog3]

He doesn't need to curse himself. He has us for that.

[u/Sig223M → u/[deleted]]

huh? this is Stearns team, I would say 80% of this roster is guys Stearns brought in

[u/NuanceManExe → u/Sig223M]

Stearns hasn’t been making decisions for the Brewers in a GM capacity since 2022. Also he couldn’t even get Peralta to play well here. The Brewers don’t need Stearns. There’s clearly stuff the Mets organization lacks that the Brewers organization has.

[u/Genericide224 → u/NuanceManExe]

Matt Arnold is increasingly looked at as "the guy" who brought about the current Brewers success

[u/Sig223M → u/Genericide224]

yea, seeing how absolutely awful Stearns has been here has me thinking Arnold is the brains behind the Brewers operation, he probably helped Stearns get that 50 million

[u/Sig223M → u/NuanceManExe]

yea team chemistry, that is why the Mets are awful cuz they are a bunch of free agents who probably couldn't care less about winning and they all resent each other, seeing teams like the Rays Guardians and Brewers who have a strong home grown core is how you usually build team chemistry

[u/Schwettes → u/Sig223M]

Peralta and Polanco had great chemistry with the clubhouse. The problem is they suck
