Didn't we learn from the first 3 weeks of ST that A-Gone is useless? When will we dump him before it's too late?
ReplyDeleteAnd that SP today was awful. How long can we carry him and his ERA of SIX?? 😨
A-Gone pulled a Seaver...got ready for the season - screw the spring stats...and, so far, so great.
ReplyDeleteThor did not have his best stuff. Speed was off. Still he only outhit by 2 batters.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 run homer by Molina was a 98 mph high INSIDE fastball on his wrists. Even Noah was shocked it stayed fair.
The 6 ERA does nothing to represent his effort.
But...but...but...that's his ERA for the whole season (to date). 😢
ReplyDeleteAnd Nimmo leads the league in OBP
ReplyDeleteYep. And he'll be on the bench when 4to returns. Are we really better off with Bruce starting?
ReplyDeleteBruce only got on 3 times...bench him! I miss Ruben Tejada, everybody...not.
ReplyDeleteFrom Newsday:
ReplyDeleteDespite plenty of pop — about six hitters who feasibly could hit double-digit dingers — the Mets had no homers and two doubles. Cespedes’ two singles came on 0-and-2 counts.
Callaway credited hitting coach Pat Roessler with instilling in the hitters a mindset that they don’t need to homer to be successful.
“[Roessler] is about as thorough as can be,” Callaway said. “He wants all of our guys to be an all-around hitter, not just be a one-facet guy. Go up there and swing for the fences is not going to work.”

Thank you God that I don’t have to hear the ole “we’re a homerun hitting team, that’s just what we are” any more. I can just feel my stress level decrease after that news alone. It’s going to be a great year!
TexasGus, I agree - but this team will hit LOTS of homers anyway. Every homer Cespedes hit in spring training I tried to watch the video of - like Stanton and Judge, his power is simply freakish - he rips a homer to left, not looking like he had a perfect swing, and it goes out on a line and clears the fence by 100 feet.
ReplyDeleteThose kind of guys can hit homers so easily, even when trying not to. That said, that 2 run single when he had 2 strikes was beautiful to see...and interestingly, they posted BEFORE that bags full hit that his career average with bags full is .451. I expect GREATNESS from Cespedes this year. I truly am hoping he has the best Mets offensive year ever.
And Nimmo on base 4 times? What a deep outfield when Conforto returns next week - could/should be best Mets outfield ever.
Right on Tom! I’m with you.
