    Need real hitter to face a Cy Young pitcher.

    Anyone who boos Lindor at Citi is a moron.

    If you like hidden gems in the Mets minors, for Brooklyn in just 3 1/3 innings tonight, Brian Metoyer and Bryce Montes de Oca fanned 9 dudes. One of 10 outs not by K. Let that sink in. Both are in My TOP 30...and rising.

    Megill and Szapucki...take your pick. Both could be integral 2022 Mets Pieces. Both could debut this year.
