home runs, 42 RBIs, and 21 doubles. Smith’s ability to drive in runs made him a
staple in the fourth spot of the order. He hit .333 w/RISP and put the same
batting average up with two outs and RISP.”

regards to Dominic Smith’s increased power writer Matt
Musico notes: “The 25-year-old can thank his performance on fly balls for this
noticeable lift in power numbers. When singling out this specific batted-ball
event in 2020, 11 of Smith’s [21] doubles, all 10 of his homers, and 26 of his
42 RBI came in that situation.”

1969 |
The Mets, thanks to Ron Swoboda's double and two Oriole errors in the eighth inning, win
their fourth straight World Series game to become World Champions. Jerry Koosman tosses a five-hitter, beating Baltimore 5-3 in Game 5, a
contest which will be best remembered for manager Gil Hodges winning the
'shoe polish' argument. |

2000 |
In Game 5 of the NLCS, the Mets
capture their fourth National League pennant when Mike
Hampton throws a complete-game three-hit shutout, blanking the Cardinals
at Shea Stadium, 7-0. Bobby
Valentine's team joins the 1997 Marlins as the only other wild-card team
to advance to the World Series. |
1973 - The Oakland Athletics win Game 3 of the World Series in
11 innings as Bert Campaneris gets the winning RBI in a
3 - 2 victory over the Mets.
In a private clubhouse meeting, Dick Williams tells A's players he will
resign after the Series.
1999: The New York Mets trip the Atlanta Braves, 3 - 2, to stay alive in the NLCS. John Olerud has all three New York runs with a solo home run in the 6th inning, and a two-run single off John Rocker in the 8th. Brian Jordan and Ryan Klesko hit back-to-back homers in the 8th for the Braves' two runs. Rick Reed, the Mets starter, shuts out Atlanta over the first seven innings on a single hit.
10/16/2000 Mike Hampton pitches a complete game 3-hit shutout as the Mets advance to their first World Series since 1986. Mike Hampton also won the NLCS MVP after throwing 16 scoreless innings with a .813 WHIP.@GlendonRusch @AlLeiter22 pic.twitter.com/nkgBXZzX3c

BATTLES!
You can just imagine what the NY Media would be saying if Kershaw was a Met or Yankee.
You guys HAVE to check out the article on Travis d’Arnaud in The Athletic. It’s an eye opener on how much pressure that kid was under in New York and what truly good batting coaches mean.
Matz is better than alot of lefties starting, but he needs to get away from his friends and family.
Thanks Gus. Change of Scenery helped Travis, it could help Matz as well. Mets would be selling low on Matz though and not get much back.
Gus, every aspect of a player counts. If he cannot be effective around friends and family, then he needs to be traded away from them, unless they are all willing to leave.
I will check out the Athletic article on TDA. But I will say this...giving him another month to get into a groove before dumping him was the right thing to do.
Tom, BVW is a case study on the wrong thing to do. From tendering him to begin with, to dumping him after a month for no reason, to not bringing Mesoraco to the majors. Van Wagenen is the Wilpon’s final screw up, and it was meant to be memorable.
And he fired Fonzie.
Gus, BVW did good things with the draft, otherwise not much good and plenty not good.
