McKinney, small sample size on offense, is clearly the better defensive outfielder....Would the Mets think Pillar/McKinney platoon, Dom the odd man out? And, does Almora have a spot at all?
Also, Villar is so much better than J.D. Davis in the field. If and when Davis comes back, do you really bench Villar?
Good problems to have if, big if, these guys come back.

I do not bench Villar for Davis. He’s been great and having a 3B who can make routine throws without incident is huge for this team.
Dom hasn’t found it this year. I’m not sure what to make of him right now.
Luchesi has a knack of getting the DP ball lately. And, as always, infield positioning is on point.
Hopefully the bats awaken and give us some runs today.
is settling in pretty well. Good to see. He hasn’t been bad lately, just not particularly efficient. I’ll sign up for him keeping us in games for 5ip or so. Should work out ok overall with this bullpen and bats (at least theoretically as far as the offense goes)

Yeah probably pinch hit for him next time he is up if he makes it that far.

Yep, definitely one you gratefully take 5 from and yank. But a good five is perfectly acceptable from a 5th starter. Definitely would be just fine if Peterson figures his shit out. If Carrasco or Thor were ready, gotta keep Luchesi and let Peterson find himself in AAA.
already down 4-0 vs the Phillies. Was hoping the Mets could pick some ground up on the Phillies with a series win, but looking like they will need the sweep to do so
There was a stat a few weeks ago that Pete sees fewer strikes than all but five batters in MLB
Pitchers do t have to throw him strikes because he chases. This problem seems to get worse after he hits a few homers. It’s like he is trying
To
Hit every pitch over the fences
Really want Pete to take this guy yard.

Paddack lives in Alonso’s dome. Hope he gets it together this AB and just moves Lindor over at least.

Very nice outing (assuming he is done)
maris and Mantle
Williams and Peraza
Great offensive duos in history.
Maybe Rojas is looking for two from Familia? Who closes today if it comes to that? May? It’s going to be interesting (hopefully)
Good move to take Joey out. He did his job
Lugo definitely not available I’d think. Yesterday was his first b2b this year. Diaz has 8 outs last two days, so he might be a maybe.
So, Fam, Gsellman, maybe Loup (pitches last two days) and May are the close game BP I’d guess.
Lindor is a nice calming voice to pitchers, it seems.
couple more runs would be great. Gotta get a second inning from Familia here.
Kinda wish he’d hooked him after the profar walk.
Bad way to lose this lead. Hope Barnes can get this out.
Familia walks three in the inning and walks in the tying run. Now someone needs to clean his mess.
Yup. Just no room for it today with the short bullpen. Ahhh well, gotta just get ready for the Cubs and take the series win
I enjoy watching Tatis play, but that move he does on his trot is something I don’t love seeing against the Mets.
