After All-Star first-baseman, Pete Alonso was dropped down in the lineup for the first timer since the 2020 season, he had some strong, emotional words for the media.
"I'm on pace for close to 40 homers, I was an All-Star this year, to beat myself up or be frustrated - it's really no use. I'm really excited for the end of the year where we get to play winning baseball. I'm happy with what I've accomplished this year so far"

"I want to win, and I trust (manager Carlos Mendoza) to run out the best lineup every single day. If that's what he thinks that's going to help us win, I'm all for it," Alonso told reporters Monday
