    It's in his Mets freaking press conference Jesus h christ. U watch the dang thing.

    He doesn't like the pressure of OCTOBER baseball and the pressure a team and fans puts on him.

    Then turns and contradicts himself by saying the Mets are more committed to win and are a well respected team.

    Do your own research.
    The responses when he said they where out wright hilarious. And they came true.
    He will never have to worry about October baseball with the Mets so he is safe

    He literally said what he said then spit on us while trying to contradictory say he thinks the Mets are better overall about Winning!

    If that wasn't personal then idk what is.


    He never said we were a bad organization or bad player or owners. Just said basically the pressure is to much for him.

    I don't think I can upload a pic (it seemed broken(, but here is the FAX post

    ETA: I completely know this is a fake quote. I find the last page or so to be absolutely hilarious. Should have stated that when I first posted it. I feel dirty that skygodz is the only one that has liked this post.

    As a general life rule, don’t argue with someone holding a penis replacement in his avatar, especially one who misspells half of what he types, asserts an alternate reality, and then falls back to “do your own research” (of course, the venn diagram of those things tend to form a circle).

    Yankees just DFA'd Willie Calhoun.

    Not a difference maker but 107 wRC+ vs RHP with very good BB and K numbers in 139 PA. Has played almost exclusively LF but RF more this year. And only 28 with 2 more years of control.

    i sure hope you understand that's a fake news page lol. otherwise you aren't very bright.

    and there's even a disclaimer in small print LOL

    "JUSTIN VERLANDER DID NOT SAY THIS AFTER SIGNING WITH THE METS"

    It's amazing this even has to be explained in the year 2023. The future is bright in America

    What he actually said,

    While pitching in New York is exciting, it comes with a lot of pressure. When asked about the pressure, Verlander stated he wouldn’t shy away from it.

    “Nobody can put more pressure on me than I can myself. I expect to go out and there and be the best version of myself. I know that big contracts and big cities come with pressure but it’s something you can’t shy away from.”

    And of course if your ideology about protecting your wright's makes you hurt. Then you should move to California where you can have a change in life.

    Yeah, I am NOT on skygodz side at all. I actually understand that FAX has fake quotes and comprehend that. I find the last page or two be actually hilarious.

    I went away for 30 minutes and came back to see 25+ new posts. Thought we have a trade, instead I get to read an argument over a parody account saying JV doesn’t like the pressure of pitching in playoff games. LOL

    Replace Lee/Knorr with Hunter Brown/Yainer Diaz and you might have something realistic.

    Watch his press conference.
    He talks about it in the hour long ordeal.


    So idc if you believe or not. I'd pass. And that's that.

    And I'd even go as far as saying if he comes back to the Astros I'd never post here again. Period

    But I know he won't be back here. And that's why I can say that.

    We need to make a great trade to stop this madness. Ok, maybe even a good one would slow it down. :D
