but this was a 2-run game.

bringing in Leone, who is brutal, after the Mets cut the lead to 2, is questionable.

is there no one better they could have brought in?

As soon as I saw him come in, I knew it wasn't going to end well


I'd rather see Sunny Leone pitch instead of this phat bastardo.
At least with this lineup

There's not 4 easy outs in a row. They can still come back and get in this game.
Would love to see

McNeil tamp down aggressiveness here and try to work a walk and load them up for Alonso.

hit it hard and good things happen. as far as baseball stats being predictive go it's hard for me to see one more important.

In 2021, hard-hit batted balls produced a leaguewide .500 batting average, a 1.015 slugging percentage, and a .625 wOBA. On the flip side, batted balls hit below 95 miles per hour produced a leaguewide .221 batting average, a .263 slugging percentage, and a .208 wOBA. These statistics make it pretty clear there is a value in hard-hit rate.





I didn’t mean to use the word “obsessive” as a bad thing - sorry if you took it that way. I enjoy your posts.


It’s all good they are obsessive - just with a good reason I think.

Not to step on the rally but this stat from Mayer is insane:

@mikemayer22
Ronny Mauricio was 3-for-5 tonight including a single at 115.5 mph and his league leading 19th double (6 more than anyone else).

His 62 hits lead all of minor league baseball.
Are you kidding me?!?!?!??!!!!

Would love to see Canha do the same to bring Alvy up in a big spot.
Are the pitches disappearing in k zone for anyone else?

Mauricio’s development is incredible. He is exceeding anyone’s expectations. For him to lead the minors in hits is incredible as his hit tool was the biggest question mark on him
Otto needs to put up a 0 here

He's really been impressive defensively. He gives this team energy.

His hit tool was underrated - his career avg is .270 despite always being the youngest guy in his league and he has never k’d a lot. They overrated the fact that he doesn’t walk and said he made bad swing decisions, which always sounded like something that shouldn’t be considered that odd for a player as young as he is. Last year I think he led the Mets org in xbh rate and that’s without counting his 20ish steals too. He will probably never walk much and his average will probably be variable but if he hits a ton of Xbh he will be a very productive player. The exit velocity makes it seem like just as good of a bet to produce as the other 3 but maybe not as quickly since they each got a taste last year.
I know he just grounded out...  
moze1021 : 5/19/2023 9:45 pm : link
But Alvarez looks so so much better at the plate now than he did his first couple weeks. He's really getting comfortable up there.
Okay, hear me out here  
CooperDash : 5/19/2023 9:49 pm : link
With these kids coming up - Bath, Alvarez, Vientos, Mauricio on the way - along with Alonso, Lindor, Nimmo, Diaz (fingers crossed). And Buck as the manager.

Similarities to the mid-90s Yankees? I think so!! So by my estimation, Buck will be gone soon (lol) right before we go on our Dynasty run for the next 20 years.

History repeats itself for a NY baseball team.

Anyone that can’t see that everything is better with those guys having received as much mlb playing time as they have the last month deserves to get fired by stearns day 1. There is no 1 game or 2 game or maybe 3 game winning streak without them. There was nothing gained playing lifeless deadwood as long as they did.
That out by McNeil had an xba of .460  
Eric on Li : 5/19/2023 9:52 pm : link
Big assist to Robertson on day 3 in a row.
What a defensive inning!  
Optimus-NY : 5/19/2023 9:53 pm : link
McNeil is something else. Superb play at 2B. Strong throw by Baty too. Robertson's a stud for pitching three days in a row. Capped off by Pete making a helluva plat at 1B for the 3rd out.
Is this winning baseball I spy?  
Eric on Li : 5/19/2023 9:53 pm : link
.420 xba on that Alonso play. 92 mph exit velo slightly below the 97mph on McNeils play.

Now someone hit one out and get the w before the ghost runner nonsense.

I will say this...playing Baty, Alvarez, and Vientos, with the energy they bring to the game but also the production in keeping the line moving, getting more ABs, getting more looks at the pitching, as well as more RBI opportunities, it's the old axiom about a rising tide lifting all boats. Marte and Canha are professional hitters, and having a potent lineup around them like this is only going to help them as well.

Wow, what a play by Pete Alonso! Two terrific defensive plays by the Mets in that half-inning with McNeil and Alonso.

Gary mentioned it earlier, but McNeil had a great AB to set up the game winning homer by Alonso on Wednesday. McNeil hasn't had a lot of huge moments this year, but every day he's bringing something to help this team.

Let's go for another walk-off:

McNeil
Alonso
Baty

If anyone gets on, Marte and Vientos. I desperately want Vientos to win this game in a walk-off, but I'll take anything.

McNeil with the pop-out.

Totally agree with you.

Just in the last couple of weeks especially, his mannerisms, his communication with the pitchers, his defense, and his ABs...he has the look of a superstar catcher.

I just hope Buck recognizes what he has. We are watching the reincarnation of Pudge Rodriguez before our eyes, and any time he's not in the lineup the Mets are worse for it.
Pretty spectacular stuff  
allstarjim : 5/19/2023 10:00 pm : link
from Stephan.

Silver lining, unless Marte wins the game first, Vientos is going to have a chance to walk this off in the bottom of the 10th, pending the Mets keeping the score within a run.
of course

Drew SMith gives up the long ball.

There was no other option so not second guessing, just a bad home run to give up.
One of the worst offensive teams in baseball  
CooperDash : 5/19/2023 10:05 pm : link
scored 9 runs off our shitty pitchers.

Eppler has done a bang-up job with Cohen’s money.
OOF  
allstarjim : 5/19/2023 10:07 pm : link
Still, never say die.

Mets scored 4 runs in the 7th before an out was recorded.
who are we trading

Just get Alvarez tgo the plate as the tying run
