Tom Brennan - 2 Big Come-From-Behind Wins in the Mets Minors Last Night

We Love When Fine Hitting Results in Game-Winning Rallies

 The recent trades and promotions which have added strong offensive players to Brooklyn and Binghamton led to to a 13-12 come-from-behind…

 HIGH A WIN:

Thrusters-on-full Jett Williams had 2 hits and 3 runs scored, including forcing a 9th inning error that allowed Brooklyn to temporarily grab the lead.

His fellow on base specialist Rhylan Thomas had a walk and a key hit and RBI in extra innings, leading to a 13-10 lead that was nearly coughed up in the final home team at bat in extras, as two runs made it a nail biter win.

Ryan Clifford (21) popped another HR, and clearly has no-doubt power. Parada (11) and Consuegra (19) homered too, as did Omar DLS. YES, it was a road game.

AND A 7-6 AA WIN:

In Bingoville, a 6-1 deficit was erased with a 2 run 7th and 4 run 9th. 

Acuna, Gilbert and Jackson were newbies with good nights. Jackson smashed his 20th.

Even the lineup’s 3 sub .200 hitters (unnamed here) joined the party, going 4 for 10 and a few walks (and, naturally, 6 strikeouts between the 3, which is why they’re under .200).

Not to be overlooked is 2021’s 111th overall draft pick, JT Schwartz, who quietly has hit .291 with 35 RBIs in 191 ABs and low Ks this year.

JT NEEDS TO STAY HEALTHY TO PLAY MORE TO IMPRESS MORE. 

Just 55 games this year.

My unsolicited advice for JT is also to add 25 pounds of muscle to his listed 6’4” 215 frame and turn into more of a power hitter, like Jeff McNeil did when he added beef. 

8 HRs in 779 pro PAs is on the inadequate side for a 1B (who also has 14 errorless games in left field, and just 1 error in 35 games at 1B this year, so he has glove excellence). 

JT, though, is torching it of late: 

.333/.443/.453 in 19 August games. 

KEEP IT UP, JT.

When you have hitters who can really hit, rallies can really happen. 

I really like that, don’t you?
