The richest MLB owner on the planet is tweeting again, as Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discussed on the latest episode of \u201cBaseball Bar-B-Cast.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the Mets<\/a> having lost eight in a row to fall to 7-12 and last in the NL East, Steve Cohen is back in action on the website formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n Cohen has now tweeted six times in 2026, with his latest coming Tuesday night after the Mets lost to the Dodgers<\/a> 2-1 en route to being swept in that series.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n As the hosts noted, this is not the first time Cohen has taken to social media to try to reassure Mets fans.<\/p>\n \u201cCohen has attempted this tactic multiple times in the past, including last season leading into one of the more embarrassing collapses for a franchise known for embarrassing collapses,\u201d Shusterman noted.<\/p>\n The hosts had some fun with Cohen\u2019s use of the phrase \u201cgreen shoots,\u201d which might be a new one for many baseball fans. The term is used to refer to signs of optimism about a down economy, according to Mintz, who said he had to do some research on the origin of the phrase.<\/p>\n \u201cThe average Mets fan is just like, \u2018Oh, dying for some green shoots,\u2019\u201d Shusterman said with a laugh.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Joked Mintz: \u201cMets fans are waking up on Wednesday morning amped about all the green shoots.\u201d<\/p>\n The hosts then posed a question about which of the sentences in Cohen\u2019s tweet would rate highest on a \u201ccope meter.\u201d<\/p>\n Here are the candidates for biggest cope (aka excuse) and the hosts\u2019 assessments:<\/p>\n \u201c[Francisco] Lindor had two hits including a home run.\u201d \u2014 \u201cNot that cope-y,\u201d Mintz said.<\/p>\n \u201c[Bo] Bichette got a double hitting it to left field as opposed to recently being right field prone.\u201d \u2014 \u201cI don\u2019t even know if that\u2019s good analysis. I\u2019d have to fact-check whether that\u2019s true,\u201d Shusterman said.<\/p>\n \u201c[Carson] Benge got a solid hit.\u201d \u2014 \u201cNo. 1,\u201d Mintz said, considering Benge is 8-for-53 this season. \u201cThat one\u2019s tough,\u201d Shusterman agreed, though the hosts later confirmed that it was indeed a solid hit.<\/p>\n \u201c[Marcus] Semien hit a shot that might have been a home run on a warmer night.\u201d \u2014 \u201cThat is classic cope,\u201d Shusterman said. \u201cDude, you\u2019re in Los Angeles<\/a>! What do you want? You want it to be warmer?\u201d<\/p>\n
