Comparing Semien to Siri is why sometimes I hate this fan base

  1. I don’t think you could find a player with a more different skill set or profile to compare him to

  2. Was just about to come here and say something about how funny the chat on this stream has been. Idk how our fanbase just gets dumber the more information about the game becomes available to the public

  3. Complaining about random comments from Youtube randoms is why sometimes I hate this fan base.

  4. He’s not comparing him exactly. Just saying he’s a new veteran who we won’t get anything out of.

    Clearly his floor is much higher than Siri’s, but it’s not a crazy to be worried we won’t get a ton of value out of him. I think we will, but it’s a reasonable concern.

  5. Yeah that’s a ridiculous comparison.

    Semien has a good resume of hitting MLB pitching.
    Siri has none.

    Even his .230 2025 was 15HR in 470AB which is far more production then Siri would provide

  6. Marcus finished top three in the MVP race three times in the last five years.

    Calling him Siri is ludicrous.

    Sometimes I can’t tell if some of these fans just don’t know ball, or desperately want to be sad.

  7. Some fans have a hard time separating sentimentality from doing what’s best for the organization

  8. Guy who has only seen The Boss Baby, watching his second movie: Getting a lot of ‘Boss Baby’ vibes from this…

  9. He’s defintely set for a bounce back year. George Springer had two terrible years and then he had a 166 OPS+ season (at the same age as Semien next year), I believe it will happen.

  10. I don’t know why you guys pay so much attention to random one off comments, especially when a lot of them are almost certainly trolling.

    But just for funsies, I compared both their numbers for the two years before they got to the Mets and they’re surprisingly close (or closer to what
    I expected) which is wild lol.

  11. You should just assume anyone who makes comments like this is 12 and move on with the day

  12. he’s gonna be like how cedric mullins was for us. that’s what i’m expecting at least. anything better than that would be a nice surprise.

  13. There is one long shot way that comment can be correct: If god forbid he gets badly injured and plays a total of like 10 games, or however many Siri got in.

  14. Same fan base who was just glazing Nimmo nonstop as if he was a perennial all star or something

  15. I mean its kind of your fault for hyper-focusing on this random comment. Every fanbase has idiots.

  16. Thanks. Kind of cherry picked. I guess I should be outraged but can give the internet a pass.. only so many ‘I just can’t believe these people’ I got in me in a day.. it’s fine

  17. At this point, the only similarity that Semien and Siri have in common is that they are glove first players. There is 23 million difference between Siri and Semien.

  18. In 2 years, these people would have bitched that we gave Nimmo too many years and CF money only to be able to DH.

  19. Seemed like he’s a big Lindor fan from the interview so I’m excited to see them up the middle together.
