Nice game for the Red Sox. Nice bounce back game for Eovaldi. And lovely to see the bats begin to come back to life after a bunch of games with dead wood!

And another beautiful result last night.

Poor Phils.....

Like these condensed games

This David Peterson is a nice lefthander.  Has been a bit of an afterthought for most Mets fans.

If Mets lose a doubleheader tomorrow Luis Rojas should be TOAST.

No reason to wait around with this vanilla motherfukker.

MVP's aren't usually this fragile.

Heh



And...good to see Dodgers get swept, with Kershaw and Bauer getting those starts.

Twin bill for the Mets, today.

A Cardinal sweep combined with a Phillies win, adds to Mets fan angst, and disgust in Milwaukee.


A Nats win, tonight, would be helpful to keep the bunched up NLE as the most interesting race in MLB, so far this season.

...you don't have to look to hard to find sources of concern. Consider:


He ranks in just the 40th percentile in MLB for average exit velocity off the bat.

Just 2.8 percent of his batted balls have graded out as "barrels," or the ideal combination of exit velocity and launch angle off the bat. That figure is in the 12th percentile in MLB.

While Lindor's expected batting average and slugging percentage are better than his actual batting average and slugging percentage -- how could they not be? -- he still ranks in the 32nd and 19th percentiles, respectively, in those measures.

His percentage of batted balls classified as "weak" is 8.3 percent, which is more than double the league-average figure.

Lindor's groundball rate is substantially higher than his career norms, and his pull percentage is substantially lower than career norms.





And yet, he's paid $341 million.

Welcome to NY, Lindor, where only the strong can perform to expectations. 

You ain't no Reggie Jackson! (But nice hair, though.)

Oh, wait. We forgot. It's the hitting coaches' fault!

Poor Chile Davis. Twice he's been the victim of Mr. Scott---

Well...

if there was ANY indication at all that 341 man and the hitting coach were not on the same page.....

solid move

Still....  the mgr is unappealing.
