YESTERDAY’S METS WIN WAS LIKE ALKA SELTZER TO THE RESCUE
Mets split the 4 game Nats series with a badly needed 2-1 win.
David Peterson picks up the win, and Bichette drives in both runs.
Bo now has 27 RBIs, which ain’t all that bad.
MJ Melendez almost had a very good game - hit by pitches twice - and a titanic home run, except it went just foul…and another deep blast that was a little further foul…and a 9th inning liner that landed just foul with the bags full. Fair territory is between the lines, MJ.
The box score just showed another hitless game for him.
Ahh, this game of baseball can be unforgiving sometimes.
Devin Williams? He continued his excellence. He is excellent, you know.
In the bushes….
Syracuse scored 12 in a 12-8 win. 20 men on base. Hitter’s Mets park?
Nate Lavender got a one out save. Three runs allowed in his last 11 games. Nate has been great as of late.
Binghamton held to 5 hits, but scored 7 in the ninth, and got a 9-5 win.
Serrano III had 3 RBIs. If I were the broadcaster, I would’ve said, “now that’s the third RBI for Serrano the third. How about that?”
Brooklyn hit poorly in one of its two 7 inning losses, amassing 4 hits while fanning 16 times, and was shut out in the other game, on 2 hits. Hitting an astonishingly microscopic .178 after 42 games. Astonishing.
Someone should tell them that there was once a one armed hitter named Pete Gray, who hit .218 in his one year in the major leagues. These guys? I think they’d need at least three arms to hit .218.
St Lucie got smoked again, losing 18-6. Team ERA of 6, and allowing nearly 7 runs per game.
Lucie’s Bonus baby Simon Juan seems to be burnt toast, hitting .168. What would he hit in Brooklyn? .068?
The FCL Mets got tattooed, 11-2, but hey, good news…
Boston Baro made his first appearance of the season, and went 2 for 3.
I had completely forgotten about him. Offense-starved Brooklyn and Binghamton likely are both saying that 3 rehab at bats are enough of a tune up, they need IMMEDIATE HELP!
MINOR ON A WIN-LOSS PERSPECTIVE?
Syracuse has a decent record at 26-21.
The other 4 minor league teams combined? More than 40 games below .500.
The “vaunted minor league system”? Nah. Overrated may be a better word.
That’s all, folks.
❤️ these daily recaps
ReplyDeleteNever understood why the 30 day rehab window couldn't take place at the same level the player was at when they went on the IL
Good question.
DeleteI’d love to see some of our other writers do a few of these daily recaps. I cannot do them that often, and they are quick and fun to do.
DeleteContact Paul to see if he can reach out and set up a weekly schedule
DeleteMack, get a load of this:
ReplyDeleteThe South Atlantic League that Brooklyn is in has 9 players with 10 or more HRs. One guy has 17. Brooklyn’s Bay is tops, at 5.
The league has 12 hitters with 30+ RBIs, and 24 with 25+. Bay has 20.
The league has 17 batters hitting .300+. Meanwhile, Bay at .220 and Voit at .213 are the only qualifying Brooklyn hitters (barely) above .200.
Houck has to be glad that non-Met Elijah Greene has an insane 80 Ks in 37 games, otherwise Houck’s amazing 64 Ks in 37 games would be the league’s worst.
Remarkable.
Recent draft picks Voit and Houck aren't working out
ReplyDeleteWhat do they do Tom?
Keep playing them for 3-4 seasons until the Cortes factor kicks in?
I did an article on Cortes for tomorrow. One I think Steve should see. Are they overlooking impediments, etc.
ReplyDeleteThey have no other choice but to play Houck - and draft better.
Trey Snyder has also begun rehab games, not just Baro. Trey is in FCL. These two bats will be welcome additions back into the system.
