NFT: Mets Lineup

nygfaninorlando : 5/22/2018 8:46 pm

Looking at the box score for tonight’s game, there’s 1 player (Cabrera) batting above .250. Batters 5-7 with averages of .162, .130 and .154. Seriously?? Our pitcher has the 5th highest average in the lineup. Aside from DeGrom and Syndergaard, our starters have been abysmal for the most part. How is this team 5 games over .500 and only 1game in the loss column behind first place? Crazy to think if they ever get healthy and get a few quality starts from other pitchers they could make some noise this season.

Fire the hitting coach Â

this organization just doesn't know how to hit properly, for the most part.

Vegas skewed all their offensive capabilities.

How are they 5 games over 500? Â

Because games aren’t won by the team with the highest batting average.

A whole slew of players not playing Â

up to the back of their baseball cards (Conforto, Bruce, etc.), Frazier, the starting catchers, and Cespedes out... sprinkle in some growing pains from Rosario and there's your baked cake.

What can you say about a team that keeps Jose Reyes on the roster and in the line-up ?

Good point, what sense does it make to keep playing this has-been? Isn't there ANY young player with maybe some upside they could use...pathetic!
