We discussed something yesterday and I was thinking about it last night and I want to a little expound on it here on the air and we were talking about Pete Alonzo and I felt last year there was probably like 15 to 20% of Mets fans that were done with Pete.

0:13.4

They think he's a doofist, that's their words, not mine.
