The Happy Recap! Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!
Lots of “Happy”, and not much “Crappy”, on Thursday:
Mets win, 6-4. ALL STAR Soto (.480/.594/.920 over last 7 games) blasts 2 more (17), and on his second, he was stunned that his high fly blew out for a HR. NICE to hit in a hitter-friendly park, huh, Juan?
Manaea pitched well for the W, and the Phillies hit like, well, like aging guys.
Benge and Ewing hit, well, like rising young stars, going 5 for 9; Semien had 2 hits and 2 RBIs, too (last 7 games, .400 OBP). Pen was super again.
Syracuse? Nick Morabito “got his Soto on”, also blasting 2 homers (6, 7). Syracuse won 6-5, with 6 hurlers fanning 15.
- Clifford fanned 4 times. 101 Ks thru June 18. Draw your own conclusion.
Binghamton and Santucci (6 shutout innings) won 8-1.
Catcher Vincent Perozo is SIZZLING in June, including 3 hits last night.
BTW…”Guess who’s coming to dinner?”
Francisco Lindor will begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday for AA Binghamton, and could return to the Mets lineup by early next week.
And the line up could become…dangerous?
We can only hope he returns like Braves superstar catcher Blake Baldwin, who recently missed 4 weeks, and in his first game back, cranked a 473 foot home run. Fourteen homers in 50 games for the catcher whom the Braves selected 85 picks after Kevin Parada.
Brooklyn lost 5-4, but Mack’s favorite, Houck the Hulk, had a HR and 3 RBIs.
St Lucie won. Mauricio PLAYED!
- He was 1 for 3 at shortstop. Hopefully, feet first slides from now on.
Pena? He had a single and 2 walks.
19 y/o Joel Lara threw 4 brilliant hitless innings, fanned 7, but got a ND because he did not go 5 innings.
Change the darned rule. At least in the minors. Four innings for a win.
The FCL Mets won, 4-2. Vladi Gomez has 2 hits (.361).
80 of 91 career steals in 165 games.
Mack already knows: Watch this guy.
Both DSL teams won, with one score being 15-14. Thank heavens for a late two point conversion.

Soto now leads the NL in OPS
Fat good it's doing him in ASG voting
I have long advocated for ASG voting common sense. 50% players, 50% fans.
Fans are heavily biased.
Soto has missed 23% of games. If he hadn’t missed any, extrapolating out, he’d have 22-23 HRs, not 17. Fans are knuckleheads. Soto in pitcher friendly Citi Field has been a terror against opposing pitchers this season.
Big problem going forward is we get the Phillie buzzsaws this weekend and next so can we win 2 of those games? Please tell me we have no one better than Melendez for DH dam make it Vientos at least he's showing a little spark. We HAVE to at some point get a real DH DS PLEASE!
I do not know who this Joel Lara pitcher is, but in his last half a dozen outings, 20 innings, 6 hits, 12 walks, 4 HBP, 24 Ks, ONE RUN. So, he needs to fix his control, what 19 y/o doesn’t, but the rest is quite impressive.
I just wonder if Lindor shows up for the next series. Instant offense upgrade. Shuffle out “the dreck”
