The fact that the Mets currently lead the league in playing shit teams is a reminder that things will balance off.

The Braves are red hot.

Just sayin...

Tom Brennan said...

Wow, Atlanta has used TWENTY TWO pitchers and we are not even in May yet.

The Braves are hot, but the Mets getting McNeil and Alvarez back has been a huge shot in the offensive arm. The offense exploded yesterday. It is finally showing up.

Nimmo had a great season yesterday. He blew a chancefor glory, hitting against Amed Rosario in the 9th.

Stanek has strong stuff…now just needs outs.

I am starting to really like Luisangel Acuna.

Tom Brennan said...

If you ever wondered if you could retire a major league hitter , watching Amed Rosario, throwing 45 mile an hour slop pitches, giving up four runs in the ninth, but recording three outs shows that anyone could do it. If there’s another blowout tomorrow, can I pitch?

Mack Ade said...

The fans had the rare opportunity to watch Mendoza tell Heffner to call down to the pen

Happened while Canning was putting down the Nats 1-2-3 with plenty of pitch count left

Another early pull by Mendy

Mack Ade said...

Going in, the Mets were ranked number one in power ratings

Then this

Vientos heating up
Acuña heating up
Nimmo waking up
Alvy starting hot
McNeil starting hotter

Opposing pitchers are going to have to pitch around all these guys to get to Soto

Mack Ade said...

No

Your turn in center

JoeP said...

Did anyone catch the look on Trevor Williams face after reliever gave up homerun yesterday.

He looked like he wanted to tear someone's head off.

Mack Ade said...

good catch... yes, I did

Tom Brennan said...

If Trevor gave that look on the Nimmo HR, I will say both Nimmo's HRs weren't terrible pitches. Not on the black, but both were fastballs high and in on the plate. Kudos to him for crushing both.

Kranick was a brilliant pick up. At the time, I just thought he was another turnstiles-turning low 90s guy that baseball sees come and go. Turns out he throws much harder and is pretty excellent.

Tom Brennan said...

Benge has a "modest" 4 game streak? Getting on base 11 times in 3 games is far from modest. IT IS SUPERB. Like this guy.

JoeP said...

Right now, Kranick is the best signing of the year...so far. Good to see Benge and Jett heating up. Starting to look like Gilbert just might not be good enough. I was really hoping he would become part of the CF mix later this season.

Thoughts on McNeil playing CF? At least it gets his bat in the lineup. Waiting to see how he handles shots in the gaps.

Mack Ade said...

Jeff does not have the range that Nimmo has but has a stronger arm.

I also feel he has a better feel for the all around game being a play grunt

test will be balls hit to right center with Soto with limited range there
