I agree with you. I think Gelbs set him up by asking a leading question 'did you say I'm on the worst Team ?' and Lopez said "yes... probably'. I think Lopez's answer would have been exactly the same if Gelbs had asked him 'did you say I'm the worst teammate'.
Phillies fan here. The unwarranted impending circus that'll come to this dude from the media over a 'Lost In Translation' moment is punishment enough for him. I speak English pretty well and I heard teammate too. Not worst team in MLB. Also implying he needs a translator is ridiculous. He speaks just fine
@@rossy2976 dude Angels are on the not going anywhere train too. I love Ron Washington and Trout but dang man yall are in a bad place too. I wish the team would have sold
Spanish is my second language and if someone was interviewing me and spoke proper Spanish and were speaking as most fluent Spanish speakers do super fast I’m sure I would shake my head and agree not knowing exactly what they just asked me, this guy seems to not really understand what’s being asked, poor guy he should of had an interpreter helping him out!
@@Matt23595 No one knows what he said. I listened to it at least six times. And when Steve Gelbs asked him, he seemed to agree that he was talking about the team.
I'm pretty sure Lopez said "I been lookin' the worst teammate in the whole ****ing MLB". That's not cool to say, either. Throwing the glove away and showing no remorse is a big, fat no-no. But he didn't say the Mets are the worst team. They're only about the 5th worst. So let's be fair. 😉
the problem is the Mets are actually the worst team in baseball because they are actually trying to win (from owner/payroll perspective) and have one of the worst rosters in baseball. It's one thing to be the Rays, Marlins, Royals, or other super small market team with no payroll and not win games, it's expected. To have a $300m payroll and no one outside of their fanbase can name more than like one or two players on the roster and can't name their manager makes them the worst f*cking team in baseball
@@DaneOrschlovsky not at all. some things are implied, and it stands forever. Mets failure is identical to a pet never coming back. Doesnt mean you tell your people every chance you get that Mets are still terrible\Max still chases freezer mice in that great terrarium in the sky (your Max was a python, I assumed).
@@DaneOrschlovsky Although, I can agree with you he could have said what he said in more uncertain terms, like basically every other disappointed sports interviewee since 24hr news began. Dropping truthy Fbombs start bigger fires (fired) than subtle but obvious "idk what we're doing here"-type post game takes.
You hit the nail on the head at the end. Everything was geared toward 2025, but this season is such an Embarrassment that no one will ever want to go thwre
Second year in a row the Mets committed roster malpractice. Last year, it was a starting staff all over 30, with 3 over 35. No chance they were going to stay healthy. This year, they have the oldest roster in MLB but decided a rookie manager was a good fit. Their sloppy play reflects a manager that cannot hold the veterans accountable because he has no track record. Their players are too good to have the worst defense in the game. Buck had his faults, but he demanded attention to details like turning double plays and at least attempting to control the running game. David Stearns is turning out to be as clueless as Billy Eppler was.
This guy was an All Star 2 years ago & isn't having a terrible year (ERA 3.76). If I'm a contender who needs a veteran reliever, I might take a flier on him.
WHEN THE METS ENERGY PLAYER WENT DOWN.....THE ENTIRE TEAM FOLLOWED....ONE OPPPOSING TEAM SAW HE IS THE TEAM ENERGY THEY TOOK HIM OUT.... THE CATCHER . HE IS THE SPARKPLUG OF THE MIGHTY METS MACHINE.
The Mets were 12-8 after 20 games. They have gone 10-25 since. I haven't done the research but I would be surprised if any other team has been that bad over the last 35 games.
The Mets organization is a mess - laughing stock of the league - they're horrendous. Can't hit, can't run, can't field, can't pitch. They need to start over from scratch - dump all the starters and buy prospects from good farm systems (Orioles, Rays etc....).
There is a split in the clubhouse and it began when Lindor was brought in. The team was young and immature and dominated by Alonso and McNeil. Lindor came in , was more experienced and a World Series champ and was surrounded by a bunch of amateurs and 2nd and third year players. And that polarization never went away but became instead a detente of sorts.
its so much worse when the mets rivals are good every year (Phillies, Braves, Yankees). Having to be in New York when the Yankees have a good season every single year is also terrible.
Lopez gets blasted for speaking the truth about how bad the Mets are meanwhile Steve Cohen talking crap about how the Mets are a playoff team. But as usual it’s the guy who speaks the truth who gets blasted and the guy who feeds you crap and fluff who gets away with it.
When the Baltimore Orioes traded away Jorge Lopez to Minnesota in 2022 at the trade deadline, when the Orioles were nominally still in the playoff race, many talking heads, and I think Rich Eisen was one of them, yelled loudly that the Orioles were "giving up" on the season and their fans, and were a disgrace to baseball. Well, the Orioles proceded to win 101 games the very next season, being led in part by a pitcher, Yennier Cano, whom they got as part of the Lopez trade* and is still a big part of yhe team's bullpen. Maybe, just maybe, they actually knew what they were doing. *They also got minor leaguer, Cade Povich, who is currently one of the Orioles top 10 prospects.
Mike Elias is the best GM in baseball. Anybody who doubts him at this point is a moron. Also, Rich doesn't know much about baseball. You can tell he doesn't follow the league as a whole very closely.
Its sickening to see the Phillies so damn good. Like i cant even front - theyre gonna win the world series most likely. And the Yankees are also good. Worst year for Mets fans
Yea sure Braves are def a good team and have been more often than not, but I wouldn't put them above Philly. Even less so without Acuña and Strider. But as far as Mets fan go? Atlanta being an almost lock Wild Card team without 2 HUGE studs is salt in wound for them
These players need to man up and challenge each other. They are bad because they have no heart. Just shows how soft this younger generation is. If things don't go exactly how you want, just give up. I mean the season just started and it sounds like they have already given up.
I saw that he got dfad and didnt think much of it, he hasnt been that great since being closer for min or whatever but man, seeing this I can see why they had no choice, you just CANT badmouth your team and pull stunts like this, its as clear a way to get released as there is
It’s crazy lot of fans murder this guy but what they don’t know this guy been living in hospitals for years I would say more then 5 yrs with his son illness the Mets fail him they treat him like he wasn’t part of a organization
How do the Mets have one of the highest payrolls in baseball? I can name like one player on that team, Pete Alonso. I'm a Braves fan so I follow the NL East but like damn, who is on that team? They suck because the answer is basically nobody. I know they have the shortstop who balled for Cleveland and then fell into a black hole which is why I can't remember his name. Didn't they sign some Japanese player? What's he done? Who is even their manager? It's sad that I know the owner's name before I know anyone else outside Alonso. And that's the issue with this team.
he doesn't need fixed. He just needs to not be on a garbage team. He was the best closer in baseball in 2022 before the O's traded him. He had a 1.68 ERA and 19 saves at the all-star break.
Boohoo, the Mets knew they were going to be bad this year, this isn't shocking. You want disappointment, look at my Reds who are sucking it up after they were talked about possibly winning the central.
Maybe the owner needs to look at this and sell...!!!! U don't have a clue how to own or run a team...!! And with ALL that money you have 🤦♂️ your suffocating ur fans

The Mets need to bring in a Witch Doctor or Tony Robbins...because NOTHING they have done , new owner, manager, GM ...NOTHING has worked!
I like that he let it out!
Its like the Wilpons never left.
When Rich said “they should burn it down”, the producer should have played Seth Rollins intro music.
Being an A’s fan, its not fair but it just makes me angry seeing other teams say their teams are brutal.

He should have to write three “essays” about it. South Park style!😂
highest payroll and a SH@TSHOW

Sounds like he said teammate to me. He said he’s looking like the worst teammate in all of baseball.
Shoulda never got rid of BUCK

My condolences.
@@neroresurrected yeah its brutal!
He said the worst team in the MLB!! Why would he say the worst team mate in the MLB!!
Yeah, team in. not teammate.
Think harder
Because English is not his primary language, he said "'I' 'been' the worst teammate..." He was referring to his pitching performance.
He was talking about himself not the team. He was taking the blame for his pitching performance.
Management is the problem
He said team. The follow up makes it clear.
The Mets were 12-8 after 20 games. They have gone 10-25 since. I haven't done the research but I would be surprised if any other team has been that bad over the last 35 games.
The Mets are the Jets of mlb.
The Jets are the Mets of the NFL. The Nets are the Jets and The Mets of the NBA!!!😅
White guy from LA here and he definitely said he was the worst Teammate!
Imagine telling Mets fans on this day they'd make the playoffs.
He definitely said he is the worst teammate
Even if the Mets offered Soto more money than every ball club in the league, hed be absolutely stupid to join the Mets.
Sometimes there's players that lay out to be company man/woman, but the company is up to theater hustle and that's awkward if player's out of loop
