Baty has hit lefties better than righties

Gary and Keith were just talking about it and the reasons thereof on the broadcast

They should have put Baty in LF instead of Pham. Buck is weird and loves to give away games.
Baty should

Buck seems to specifically try to play 2 out of 3 rookies most games  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 3:58 pm : link
why who knows but he seems to navigate with that as his starting point.

Yeah. I think they showed a stat yesterday about it being only the third time that all three rookies were in the lineup together at the same time.
credit to buck pham is making contact today and the whole lineup  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:15 pm : link
seems pretty dialed in on gomber. pham's first hit was 113.7mph, this one was 103 mph.

all 3 batted balls this inning 101+. alonso 101 single, vientos 103 ground out, pham 103 line drive.

mets team xba is almost .500 right now.
pham making a case for himself over vogelbach  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:17 pm : link
have to think that's a legitimate battle over the next month if mauricio is going to come up. mauricio crushing righties would seem to make it that much easier to get rid of vogey too.
Francisco Alvarez  
allstarjim : 5/28/2023 4:22 pm : link
The Mets' superstar catcher has fully arrived!
all star appearance starting to seem obvious for alvarez  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:23 pm : link
pretty sure that homer is going to push him 1st among all catchers in slugging%. 1 of just 4 catchers with an ops over 900. super star.
gotta say less than a year and im glad they didnt trade for soto  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:24 pm : link
just alvarez + baty would have been a massive return but thankfully washington just used the mets as leverage.

Pham brings more to the table than Vogeloinker does (no pun intended).
when narvaez gets back there's another LHH that makes

Evan Roberts @EvanRobertsWFAN
Last year Mets catchers hit 7 home runs in 530 AB… Francisco Alvarez just hit his 8th HR of the year.
You got to make that catch Marte  
KevinBBWC : 5/28/2023 4:31 pm : link
SMH.
I think Nimmo would've gotten to that ball.  
Optimus-NY : 5/28/2023 4:31 pm : link
Tie game now. Yuck.
big missed catch by marte - looked like a tough play but xba was .120  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:33 pm : link
i get giving nimmo some days off but in a big OF with a lot of hot fly balls maybe colorado wasn't the place to do it.

that was a catchable ball that just gave up a 4 run lead and the inning isnt over yet. megill not the best candidate to rise above those types of plays.
Good move Buck  
Vanzetti : 5/28/2023 4:33 pm : link
Wouldn’t want to bring the lefty in to face McMahon.
Alvarez will be the best hitting catcher the Mets have ever had

piazza's bat is a pretty high bar. id still bet against that.
as good as alvarez has been piazza's career ops still higher  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:37 pm : link
and that's with 6 straight years under his career average at the end of his career pulling his career #'s down.
alonso's triple would have been out in 24/30 stadiums  
Eric on Li : 5/28/2023 4:40 pm : link
then gets gunned out at plate with perfect throw. defense not going mets way right now.
You're probably right about Piazza, but this kid might just do it

he could but its a tall order. would have to continue to improve both his BA and K-rate, along with maintaining/increasing his slg% all beyond what he did in the upper minors.

not impossible but he's always been a 20-25% k guy and .275 type hitter so hard to see him getting to the point of a lifetime batting average over .305 and a k-rate under 15%.

in 1997 piazza hit .362 with 40 homers and walked almost the same number of times as he k'd.
Nogosek's serving up batting practice.

Dayum.
send Nogosek

back to the minors. He has no role on this team

i doubt most batting practice goes that well.

game isn't over. Luckily we have tomorrow off, so everyone should be available.

makes you wonder why he even threw nogosek in this one. i know most of the options suck but if they are hitting anyone that hard pull him and try someone else.
Every pitcher on this staff is a threat to give up 5 runs.

We need relief pitching, we do not need to trade Vientos or Mauricio for it.
Dont trade the young guns

Nogosek and Canha were the goats of the game.

Looks like Pham > Volgie.

Volgie has to go after Narvaez returns from rehab.
