OMG you people NEVER LEARN.
Jesus guys, can you not hype everyone. You didn’t learn from The Next Seaver. You didn’t learn from comparing this horrible manager to Gil Hodges.
I saw a tweet this morning ( I think since deleted) that compared Alonso to Pujols.
I see this..
The power is real, the on-base skills are real, and very importantly the person is real. In another lost year, at least Mets fans can look forward to the thunder in the bat of @PeterAlonso20 coming soon to Citi Field. (by @PSLToFlushing)

So basically if Alonso doesn’t hit at least 500 career HRs he is a failure.
I am going to demand that he be the next Lou Gehrig. If he even takes a day off he is letting me down.
How about we just let him come up and let him be the first and only Peter Alonso.
You guys set yourselves up to be sad. A year ago you were probably creaming over the idea of Dom Smith. A year ago you didn’t even know who Alonso is. You probably aren’t even sure if he is in AA or AAA….are you? No you aren’t.
Cool your jets. Jesus.
