In case anybody thinks I'm being too much of doomer about having to wait at least three years if this nino doesn't deliver a big snow: With the assumption that the ninas double dip...it's either this year or 29-30 for the next chance:

Next June? Dang does that usually happen? Thought there was mention of a rebound nina

Is there one fanbase for a Maryland team that hasn't needed somebody fired over the last year? I mean this is insane, lol

Definitely seems to be a different kind of toxicity on the Mets. Our issues are analytics and fundamentals...problems that can be fixed in the next year or two (hopefully). We shall see...

Why does it sound like you wish he wasn't playing for us? Lol I mean, bruh...he could be the X-factor that may get us over the playoff hump even if Elias stays. It is difficult not impossible. And...Alonso has 4 years at least--if we keep losing Elias won't last that long. Right now...Alonso is the best thing to happen to this team in years, and obviously is all in, and wants to be here and do all he can to lead this team (and does NOT want to be traded!) We'll see how it plays out after next year...barring a miracle since it appears Elias is staying. And who knows what change he may be able to influence/push for? Ya never know...

If this were winter it would be painful. Nina-like miss--gets going too late, smh And we need the rain more down here than they do

I don't know...Last year certainly felt more nina to me with the way that late Feb blizzard tracked, and all the NS interference that resulted in the historic sleet bomb. But hey that's just my layman opinion...

That's So Nina

Not necessarily...we had neutral after 2016 were neutralish in 16-17, nina 17-18, but then niño (albeit very weak) in 18-19

Yeah but think about it: If that happens we will have what we haven't had in 11 years: 1-2 feet of snow! You realize that, given the two ninas forthcoming after this winter, we have zero chance of seeing that until 2029-30 at the earliest, right? Yeah I would take one big snow in a millisecond!

We don't know what conversations have been happening NOT in public, though More calling out happens privately than publicly. Most managers will defend their players to a degree. For example, I don't think I've heard the Toronto manager calling out Vladdy publicly for having a bad year. Alby was asked about that specific play and it was so dumb he had to say something. It's a little different from an ongoing issue at the plate.

If EDC is the problem, we are in big trouble for years to come and Lamar's ring is out the window--because Biscotti is not firing him unless the team continues to fail to make the playoffs. I am hoping that it's just that EDC has a blindspot/stubbornness for just the OL as opposed to the DNA of the players he drafts. The ladder would be the worst case scenario. The former I think can be overcome eventually (although whether that's this year remains to be seen. I think the SB window is gonna be between now and the end of next season.)

I look at it this way: It's possible that this could be a sign of growth on his part that carries over into next year. And also...of all the horrible ABs we've seen with RISP this year, that was by far THE stupidest: so bad that he couldn't help but call it out.

They're all gone so what's the cause? Marlon Humphrey? And yet he still makes plays (I actually can't remember but one play where he had bad coverage but maybe there was another). Hamilton is a stud. Wiggins as well. Hawkins solid. Now perhaps Starks is an issue? Front 7 should be getting more pressure than that given who we have. Personnel-wise...with tje coaching change it should be better...which is why I mentioned maybe it's some leftover that the new regime can change--but just takes time. I will say that today isn't exactly a big blown lead either (up by no more than a TD), and more about all 3-phases being dominated as you said. So maybe there's chance this isn't an indicator of same ol' same ol' and we just plain lost...but we'll find out soon enough.

I mean it sure doesn't sound like it. And for me this is a 3-year view: too warm Super Nino this year, la nina the next two years=3 more warning level snow troubles for many of us, smh
