AJ Ewing shows up and just like that, the Mets score 10 runs. Wow.
A triple, 3 walks, 2 RBIs and a steal in his debut. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
And the pitcher’s park got him in the one out he made:
“The only out he made was on a 102.3 mph flyout to the warning track.”
But….
Alvarez hurt his knee…whoa.
- IL stint forthcoming? No prognosis yet.
And Lindor is still likely a month away (reading between the lines) and Robert is not making the progress the Mets hoped for. Thud.
Elsewhere:
Syracuse hitters fanned 19 times in 13 innings, winning 7-4.
Bay & Clifford each fanned 4 times. Clifford has now fanned 57 times in 38 games. You call him up if you want to. Not me.
Jack Wenninger was great for 5 innings. Miniscule ERA. He is AJ Ewing on the mound.
Call him up.
Binghamton (.198) and Brooklyn (.183) were both shut out on 2 hits.
67 combined games for those two teams. Sub - .200?
“Like nothing we’ve ever seen.”
St Lucie was no-hit - by the rain.

Was great to watch Ewing play last night. Also great to see Wenninger pitch another strong game.
The rest… just aweful
I don’t think Morabito is Ewing. Nick’s upward ramp is much less steep. So, I could be surprised, but I think he is a few months away. Not a few weeks.
Wenninger 1.08 ERA in 33 IP? Why is he still in the minors?
Not sure what happened between last year and this year with our minor league hitters. I know we had some move up but they all have been terrible except for Ewing, and maybe Morabito who is just OK. the pitchers for the most part have also fizzled out except for Wenninger. I think Tong is working on some new pitches so not too concerned about him and Santucci turned it around close to this time last year so .....
Hopefully Ewing supplies the spark we need, he is the type of that should be a old fashion typical lead off hitter.
Mendoza should be GONE already!
