Today’s Mets Lineup Was Brought to You by the Analytic Nerds

30 Mar

Granted, when your starting pitcher gives up 6 runs, like Luis Severino did today, it’s hard enough to win. But when you got some dude named Tyrone Taylor batting cleanup and a .174 lifetime hitter named Zack Short also in your starting lineup (which should simply be some combo of Nimmo, Lindor, McNeil, Marte, Alonso and Stewart as your DH in the 1 through 6 spots until JD Martinez is ready imo), one thing becomes crystal clear: new manager Carlos Mendoza is beholden to the analytic nerds. And that’s not a good sign for 2024.

Brewers Made Big Push to Acquire Mets’ Pete Alonso at Trade Deadline

Pete Alonso’s long-term future in Queens remains murky, and the Mets even reportedly explored the possibility of trading the star infielder to a surprise team at the trade deadline.

Before the Aug. 1 deadline, the Brewers made a significant push to try and acquire the All-Star, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Milwaukee held conversations with the Mets before and after its July 27 trade with the Pirates that brought first baseman Carlos Santana to the Brewers.

Are the Mets organization dumb enough to not know how beloved Pete Alonso is with Met fans and how nerve-wracking all this talk about him possibly not coming back is?

That’s why I could never be a manager in baseball, because I’m taking not taking out Scherzer after seeing him pitch a perfect game for 6 innings. Either way, congrats to the 2022 Mets for making the playoffs. Of course it’s the NL East division that we really need to win, but seeing as the Braves never lose to anyone but us, that’s going to be a very tough hill to climb.
