Tom Brennan - Ewing a Plus, Alvarez a Minus?

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?
