Summary

Frustration with the Mets takes a new turn as the debate shifts to ownership and whether Steve Cohen should take a more aggressive, public approach. With inconsistency both on the field and on social media, the question becomes whether a modern day, toned down George Steinbrenner style would energize the fan base or create even more chaos. The conversation mixes humor with real tension, from lineup decisions and roster moves to wild late night plans just to stay locked into the team. It all builds into a broader discussion about accountability, fan expectations, and how much noise around a struggling team actually helps or hurts when things are already heading in the wrong direction.

Steve Cohen has used Twitter in a very inconsistent and just block on away. Yeah. Like he'll go out and talk about the fans not showing up. It's random. He'll tweet out when the Mets finally start playing well last year and say, I don't hear the complaints now. And then yes, when the season ended, he did issue a big apology. So it's not frequent. It's not consistent, it's all over the place.

Do you think it would be interesting and or smart for Steve Cohen to now use Twitter as a bully pulpit,

0:33.8

not to rip the fans, but basically be George Steinbrenner and rip his own players and say, look, I'm paying these guys a lot of money.

0:36.0

I need more production.

0:39.9

The reason you can't, why it is social media and just the internet in general and all facets of it just it takes

0:47.4

anything and everything and puts it on with on a lighter fluid and it becomes something massive, even if it's minor.

0:56.2

So you just, you can't do it because it'll be everywhere.

0:59.0

Okay.

0:59.4

Can I give you a George Steinbrenner-like example?

1:01.5

Because again, for those that don't remember, George Steinbrenner would call up reporters

1:06.3

and bitch about players not performing well, whether it's Dave Winfield is Mr. May.

1:12.6

He called one of his players, a big free agent signing, Mr. May to mock him for the fact that, oh, he'll perform in May, but he won't do it in October.

1:22.6

Right. It's like when Vergara told us, they're like, yes. George would call up and be like, hey, here's the story.

1:28.3

Yes.

1:29.3

I'm telling you what the story is. So everyone needs to realize like this happened. This was a world that existed where George would actively call out his own players. Now Steve doesn't have to do it in that way and he doesn't have to call up reporters, but I'll give you a hypothetical. He goes on Twitter Sunday night,

1:42.9

Metsch just got swept,

1:44.1

and says,

1:45.1

I am not pleased with what I saw on the field.

1:47.8

Love him. but I'll give you a hypothetical. He goes on Twitter Sunday night, Metsch just got swept and says, I am not pleased with what I saw on the field. Love you, Francisco. We need better decisions. Right. Bang. Now, is that like the front page story where everyone runs to Lindor in L'A? and says, what do you think of Steve Cohen? Because let's say they did that. Lindor's answer would be, he's right.

2:01.2

And I need to be better.

2:02.6

So what's really the harm of Steve Cohen being like a toned down, less aggressive Twitter,

George Steinbrenner in 2026?
