[Highlight] Devin Williams walks a run home, gets pulled, and booed relentlessly
Sometimes it’s the guys you least expect. Not this time, but sometimes.
I usually steal memes but today I’m a quote thief
It’s yours. There’s like a 70% chance I stole it from someone else anyways.
i used to steal ideas from other people all the time. i still do, but i used to too
I get the offseason is full of Pollyanna takes. But man were Mets fans obnoxious about Williams. No, we weren’t hating. He really is this bad.
He has been a red flag why brewers gave him away. They knew this
Ever since he punched a wall and ruined any chance we had at winning a playoffs series everyone should have been worried about him
Brandon Bostick level stupid moment
Never understood why the Mets’s signed him. He obviously can’t handle New York.
Yeah, I could see him as a “change of scenery” candidate, someone who just needed a fresh start somewhere new. But man, this scenery looks awfully familiar…
All last year people were in denial too. Like oh except for those 3 games he was actually good. Like nah he was dogshit 80% of the time
Could they not read a baseball reference page? I know he kinda sorta became somewhat reliable towards the end of the season, but how could they think we’d be that broken up about losing a reliever with a 5 ERA? I don’t believe any fan every really trusted him.
This is gold
We can fix him, Mets send him back to us for a half eaten ham sandwich
Deal.
Ham sandwich probably hits better with RISP than most of the current lineup. Deal.
They gotta retain a majority of that contract!
Who knew in 2024 that the team that got Nestor Cortes would be fucking fleecing the team that got Devin Williams.
i mean that trade was always for Durbin, even if Cortes was the bigger name.
Mama Cass in shambles
What do you mean? This was Devin Williams every time the lights were bright even on the Brewers. It just happens that the lights are basically always bright when you play for the Mets and Yankees.
The kind of thing that would make a lesser man punch a wall
As a Terrence Ross fan, I find great joy in the fact that he lives on long past his basketball relevance through this gif.
Raptors legend
That absolute YAM on Faried is legendary
This man actually thought Mets fans were gonna be nicer to him?
They’re just as ruthless as Yankee fans
He’s very lucky it was cold and nobody showed up today
kinda sad that there were multiple players quotes like ‘we’re gonna hear it when we get home!!’ and then they came back to… an empty stadium.
Don’t think it’s just the cold. A lot of folks have passed hatred and gone into indifference. Barely know these players to begin with.
Yup this is me. I liked Nimmo and Pete (I loved Diaz too but his departure was a bit different…). I thought McNeil was a useful player if a somewhat aggravating personality. I always want the Mets to win, but I wanted those guys to win too. The lineup wasn’t even the problem last year. You want to blow it up, fine, I get the rationale but when it backfires this badly… indifferent is the right word. I haven’t even been mad about the losses in like a week, just laughing at how absolutely stupid, mentally small, and unprepared this team is.
McLean js fun though.
lol Devin probably though queens and Bronx are completely different people… we are the same breed, toxic Knicks fans
THE Bronx
Im a Jets/Yankees fan. The Jets fans (and thus the Mets fans) are 100% more vicious and annoying. I try my best to bring that toxic culture to the Bronx.
IDK how vicious Jets fans are, we’re very, very, jaded at this point
I dont think Woody realizes he’s losing entire generations of Jets fans. I’m nearly 30 and the last time they were in the playoffs I was about to enter Highschool. I’ll never spend a dime on that team until he’s in a box or sells.
Brick getting the team bud, we’re fucked
Go Birds I guess? I dont want to root for a Philly team but most Giants fans I run into are knobheads.
Birds yes, Eagles no. Have to watch our king Darnold over in Seattle 😔
I never doubted our GEQBUS
THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY TRUE PATRIOTS AND IS A FACT
SAM DARNOLD IS YOUR GEQBUS, NOW AND FOREVER
mets eagles is such a cursed combo lmao
So if he dies and his son takes over, you’re good?
bro we’re so fucking cooked. I wish they could get relegated.
I’m nearly 30 and the last time they were in the playoffs I was about to enter Highschool.
The last time the Jets were in the playoffs was before GRRM actually released a damn book in the mainline ASOIAF series.
1/23/2011: Jets Lose to Steelers in the AFC Championship
7/12/2011: GRRM released A Dance with Dragons
Same man. I’m 33. My pops has had season tickets my whole life. I used to go to EVERY game religiously. Tons of jerseys and merchandise. Went to training camp most years. I knew every player on the roster and where they went to school.
Now I go to a few games a year just to spend time with my dad, but I won’t spend any other money on them until Woody sells. I know the stars but not much of the supporting cast. It’s a scam. There’s no intention to ever win.
My father also had season tickets up until Giants Stadium got torn down. Those memories of going to games with my Dad every Sunday are the only thing keeping me as a fan of that dogshit team.
I was at that playoff game where we beat the fuck out of Manning and the Colts!
When will people learn all NY/NJ fans are mostly the same? The fan bases who win are just louder
Same for Boston and Philly, the whole northeast is terrible about sports
Bro had no idea how good he had it in Milwaukee.
Imagine his Bryan Hudson tantrum if he was in a big market
All NY fans are the same it just doesn’t come out until there are expectations
Mets fans talk a lot of shit about Yankees fans but at the end of the day we’re all Knicks fans and we’re assholes.
Dude needs to get out of the NY market. He cant handle the pressure. I think there is a reason some thrive with the Brewers because it’s so chill.
Don’t worry, there’s a loud minority of the fan base who doesn’t think anyone should be booed and that everyone needs to be cheered to show they have support.
Winning and performing at an even slightly below average level is too much to ask for.
Mets saw him look good for a month and said lets give him all the money
The worst part about watching Devin Williams pitch is his body language. He goes out there with no confidence. He looks like Eeyore on the mound. Then he gives some mopey shit in the post game presser. He’s a depressing dude
He is the mets personified
Gonna start calling him Mr. Met.
The cut to the play like you mean it sign right after this is 👌👌👌👌
Last year when he was blowing save after save and Boone kept going to him he looked like a deer in headlights whenever Boone pointed to the bullpen. Bro does NOT want the ball in a big spot
The difference in demeanor between the Jungle Cat, Luke Weaver, to Devin was the craziest thing when they went back to Weaver closing. That’s a dude that wanted the fucking ball and was exhilarated to be in that moment.
The thing that I truly don’t understand about the signing is that it was so abundantly clear last year that this guy just can not handle the pressure of being in the NYC market. Going from Milwaukee to NY is not the kind of transition all players respond well to, and it was obvious that it got to him. Even when he was on he never looked completely comfortable out there, although tbf I only saw a few of those saves.
Fully agree here. It’s the only thing you can point to outside of the Alonso HR. Just a bad fit. It was the first time he had genuinely struggled in the majors since his rookie season. 1.70 ERA over 223 IP with 361 Ks from 2020-2024. Saying he was dominant is an understatement. That’s incredible numbers. To see him nosedive from being unhittable to an unconfident mopey dude is wild.
Obviously he went to where he got paid which good for him but if he ends up somewhere outside of NY I would not be shocked to see him go back to being dominant.
Many times he got into some sticky situations but was able to lock it down. Now he just doesnt have it to put it away after he lets a man get on base.
Yeah I’m not saying it’s likely but I could honestly see a scenario in which he gets traded to like the A’s or something and ends up dealing. Although I do think he has probably peaked given his age and the fact that his fastball velo is down from where it was 3-4 years ago.
His post-game interviews were always my favorite, because he genuinely looked and acted like someone took his toy in Kindergarten, it’s wild. There was never any accountability on his part.
He’s extremely soft. I physically recoiled watching his presser from the other day when he blew it against the Cubs
I can’t remember which beat writer it was, but they posted at a certain point last season comparing how available Clay Holmes was after a bad outing vs Devin. Clay would be at his locker immediately and stay as long as needed, Devin often made the reporters wait over an hour.
He’s a depressing dude
Fits right in.
I’m absolutely losing it at ‘Eeyore on the mound’. Ho-ly, that’s a good laugh.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jomboy used to talk about this all the time. Williams has no mound presence.
Alonso broke him, and we got rid of Alonso and brought him in. David Stearns school of baseball logic
Eeyore is crazy but accurate
They also took Weaver.
They love our sloppy seconds.
And Soto
The Mets love former Yankees.
After the reaction they saw from Yankee fans from getting Soto the Mets became obsessed with stealing Yankees players gimmick. This is the result.
tbf he was clutch in the postseason. I think they forgot you have to make it to the postseason first tho and his blown saves cost us the division.
He was clutch in a* postseason
This is total revisionist history. He gave up the back breaking 2-run single in game 4 to Lukas that effectively ended the Yankees season. He stunk last year. He stinks this year. He’s stunk in the regular season. He stunk in the postseason. Good luck to the Mets paying him 51 mil these next 3 years. Even Steve Cohen might puke in his mouth signing those checks.
I love it when Steve Cohen loses money on stupid decisions
As a Mets fan, me too. Maybe it’ll teach him it’s not just throwing money around that wins.
“I don’t want to win! What would I do with a W? Go back to feeling false hope. No, losing completes me.”
-Mets Joker
This is just sad
He ain’t built for NYC.
If only there was a way to determine that before signing him
This was determined the second Pete Alonso dogged him in October.
he’s not built for the physical presence on long island
[removed]
Fuck the Mets, but at the same time I’m dying at 90% of these comments being from Yankee fans lmao
We just shut out the Sox, we are vibing
We both know thats not hard
Yeah the Red Sox are not a professional baseball team. Most of lineup should be pumping gas.
Damn lol
It’s almost not even fun when they’re hating on themselves as hard as we do.
Almost.
After all the “yall didn’t face our real lineup in the playoffs” talk, not even almost
I stand by most baseball fans are relatively hilarious early in the season. Playoffs get some toxicity but r/baseball is legit awesome early in the season.
Breaking: “Red Sox ownership is currently in discussion to convert Fenway Park into a Cumberland Farms”
Yea im sure Mets fans wouldn’t be enjoying a 12 game Yankees losing streak
Us on a 12 game losing streak would be the most upvoted post on this sub
Tbf it would break a 100+ year streak for us
Can we please stop talking now, thank you.
I’m just glad I no longer have to experience Devin Williams
It’s quite vindicating after months of being told “no he’s good you guys just didn’t use him right”
If we don’t lose 119 games in a row, one of your teams is dogshit.
My team is dogshit so far. We made you guys look like a playoff team
Except against us it seems. Just like the Angels. Always gotta turn up the heat for LA.
Devin Williams masterclass
So glad he’s not on the Yankees anymore
Y’all warned Mets fans but they just didn’t listen.
Tbf some of us were worried that Pete truly broke him with that wild card homer
Warranted.
Uh, I listened, but my name’s not David Stearns
In fact a lot of us were heavily downvoted. But it makes me smile to see it working out.
Meanwhile we get Bednar who has only kept proving, although players get on base with him, he doesn’t crack easy.
And the Pirates are actually doing pretty well without him.
Most predictable ASSterclass performance
I told my ma, “Ma if he walks this run in, they are gonna boo him so fuckin hard you gotta watch.”
I’ve never seen a team just collapse like this before. Wow
the 2011 cardinals only made the playoffs because the braves lost their last 10 or 11 games and blew their wildcard spot
How dare you bring that up!
Ahh good times
Yeah, let’s get back on track here, shall we? lolmets, right guys?!
The Red Sox that year did exactly the same thing as the Braves. Had the best record in the league in September and managed to totally miss the playoffs somehow
Fried chicken and beer I believe.
If you can even call it a collapse…
It’s only April. They fell as soon as the race started lmfao
Just absurd what has happened. How’s it even possible to be 10 back by the end of April
David Stearns acting like he’s still part of a poverty franchise.
This is like the fourth time in my life that I’ve watched the Mets collapse like this and I’m only 25
Is it really a collapse if it happens in the first eighth of the season
One of the Mets 2000s teams blew a 7 game lead with like 17 games left to miss the playoffs.
07 right?
Yes.
Dude is the quintessential NL Central merchant
Say quintessential NL Central five times fast
Uhhh I think you mean “The best division in baseball”
So good Hader, Helsley, Williams, and Bednar all had to leave and escape the pressure
Trusting williams on high leverage after his stint at yankees last year? lol
On the one hand Dbacks fans know the feeling of a bullpen implosion very well, so I won’t laugh.
On the other, we only spend about 17 dollars on our bullpen.
The Devin Williams Baseball Savant page defenders are mighty quiet tonight 👀👀👀
That’s the Devin Williams we know
This team has just absolutely, completely given up and it’s still April. This is in the 120-loss White Sox territory of quit.
It’s like Carlos Mendoza looked at the Cleveland Spiders and said, “Man, I bet I can do that.” And then he did. So good for him I guess.
I am dying 🤣
Yankees and Mets fans agree this dude is worse than Hitler
this past off season a mets fan told me they were the big brother of New York now…. I love this for them
The Mets love taking burnt out Yankees relievers and burning them out even further.
Inject it directly into my veins.
First the Yankees shut out the Red Sox and now this. Today is a good day.
Gotta say, I don’t miss that at all!
The MVP chant for Warren is classy
I am so happy he’s playing like this. Yankees brought him on as some sort of superstar closer that would save games and then on his way out he talked shit, fuck him.
Pete Alonso ruined this man’s life
Mets should cut a chicken’s head live on TV for the bad juju to be gone
Devin Williams is yet another story of a millennial from the Midwest struggling to make it in New York City
Yankee legend Devin Williams
…I have no words
The hot air (bender)
Mods are Mets fans for deleting it the first time
Welcome to the Devin Williams experience
Please Mets get this dude a secure escort home
Scorebender
First time.jpg
I certainly don’t miss that.
It always a bad time to be a Mets fan, but what a miserable time to be a Mets fan too. I feel like the fans are going to rush the field and fight the team when we lose 100 in a row.
The boos are surprisingly loud for the stadium being so empty
lol Mets suck
When the manager told ESPN that “when we play back at home, it’s going to be loud”, I don’t think this is what he meant but I knew it would be exactly this
This was always a stupid as shit signing by the Mets.

“The New York Yankees send their regards.” - Matt Blake
I almost feel bad for Mets fans
Hope bro didn’t think Mets fans would be any nicer than Yankees fans. We may hate each other, but we can both be nasty when our players suck. Lmao
On behalf of all Yankee fans, thank you Mets for taking this choker from us 🫡
this tracks
This man has a family yall…
The mets are the only team saving the royals from national embarrassment. Thank you guys
lolmets. We get rid of players for a reason. Enjoy 2+ more years of your $15m/yr middle reliever
And y’all should know better. Alonso broke him
Williams screwed us in 2 playoffs and I still feel bad for the guy. Midwest nice has its down falls sometimes.
It’s like everything that could go wrong does.
The mets saw how dogshit the Yankees bullpen was last year and thought, let’s sign two of em
