Rangers9 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You have to give Chili Davis the Mets new hitting coach credit. He’s got this offense rolling. And Alonso pretty consistently productive and big time power as a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting about .380 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I didn’t see Conforto’s homer but they just replayed it. A moon shot traveling over 450 feet. His longest of the season. What a bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't have to wonder too hard. Just look up Diaz's numbers. I said the other night, he's single handedly cost us a playoff spot this year. I don't think we're as good as Atlanta but we'd be breathing down their neck if Diaz was in Rikers. Which is where he should be, because he's been killing us..

This is correct. 52 is the target and Alonzo is almost exactly on that pace. Still, as Boozer said, this, right now is all about making the playoffs. The starting pitchers had a bit of a rough patch last week. Let's hope they turn it around. We need to get back to our putting up a 3-spot in the first inning ways and riding the starter into the 8th with enough of a lead to hold off the inevitable bullpen mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 This team has been playing great at home this year. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I think they have about 28 more home games, and 14 on the road? The schedule sets up well. Nimmo is about a week away, and Lowrie is back taking hacks in St. Lucie. Just get the Squirrel back, and I think we're going to pull this off! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta win series at this point. This is the kind of season that can be really special. Low expectations, awful first half, and out of nowhere the team comes together and starts winning. Rosario has developed into the player we all hoped he would be a couple of years ago, Conforto as really stepped it up since the Break. And what can you say about Alonso and his record breaking season. ROY lock and MVP candidate. JD Davis just keeps hitting. Add in McNeil and Nimmo who both should be back soon, and that is a real nice young offensive core. And while we have all been killing BVW for the Cano deal (and rightfully so) how about some credit for acquiring Davis from the Astros. Who saw that one coming. Great deal for the Mets. We would not be in contention without Davis' bat.

The Cano injury hurt us.... he was just starting to produce consistently. That being said he has been a great influence on Rosario! Watching the game last night and seeing Cano & Rosie laughing and talking made me appreciate Cano despite the contract. Even Raji Davis was a nice veteran pickup. McNeil will be back soon. Nimmo & Lowrie getting close..... maybe in time for the Braves series? 6 games vs. Braves; 6 games vs. Philly; 3 games vs. Nats.
