I checked the Somerset schedule and didn't look like Binghamton plays once there. I don't know how that was possible so maybe the schedule was out dated?

When a pitcher is struggling first pitch may be best pitch to hit as he is trying to get ahead in count. Also, if hitter is struggling you don’t want him to get passive.
The problem with many of us fans, we still see baseball as the game we grew up with. The leadoff hitter is that guy that just gets on base- no power needed. And he should be speedy and a SB guy. The number 2 guy is a guy that makes contact0 goes the other way, works the count...Get as many looks at pitches as possible for the number 3 guy sitting in the batter box.
That is no longer what we have. 2 is the new 3 and that guy is no longer taking pitches, he is not working counts and he is not looking to move a guy over by hitting behind him.
Lindor is a slugger. He will usually hit in the 270-280 area, he will K but he most likely goes 30+ HR. And his way out of a slump is by swinging. Not looking at hittable pitches.
Hitting at 3-1 count or 2-0 count is more advantageous imho especially with bases loaded.
Conforto getting hammered by D-bags
like me , but Lindor outside of single vs Rockies has been just as bad. Outside of McNeil’s 2 big hits he also has been putrid. hopefully playing 5/6 games in a row will help these guys. Pitching has been fantastic with the exception of Peterson’s first inning vs Phillies along with the Villar misplay inning for Luchesi and walkers 5th last night .
Even with offensive struggles I like the Mets chances to win division more than I did at the beginning of the year.

Has to be as that was one of the reasons for the restructuring of the Minors...keep everyone closer to the parent club and shorter road trips.
They are also in the same reorganized division, AA-Northeast, so one would think you play everyone in your own division at least once.

I just checked again. Mets aren't playing them at all home or away! Makes no sense. Maybe because of Covid they kept the teams as close as possible.

And Binghamton goes as far as Richmond (which is pretty far) and as close as Reading for games.
Weird.

If you are taking the first pitch to just take the first pitch then you are being too passive. You should be looking for a certain pitch in a specific location. If you don't get it, take the pitch. If you do, swing.
It’s on you...just saying
Potential inning ending double play up 2-1 Davis error leads to all of this garbage
up 2-0
Second and third Conforto weak whimpy lame grounder to end inning

Davis should have been replaced at 3B before the season began. This isn’t rocket science.
Dom Smith is Hundley bad in left
Can’t make an error if ball lands 10 feet away from you

1)The team is 7-6 and first place in the division.
2)The "clown" thing is beyond played out.
I take full responsibility, but as a mitigating factor I never said the team was fielding well.
One positive from last night is Lindor's 3 hit night. If they can put this game behind them and Joey Luccs pitches well, they have a shot at a .500 road trip in two tough places to play. Win tonight and let Jake rake against the Nats.
Was the worst defensive performance and worst lack of effort I have seen in my life last night.
I was worried about the D in the pre season. Peterson should have been out of the inning with a 1 run lead. I know JD has a bat that can help us but he is killing us in the field. You cannot start imho Davis and Dom in the same game. Villar has a good glove and at least brings speed to the team. Let him play third and give Dom the majority of time in LF. Davis can be a pinch hitter and get the odd start at 3rd or in left. Davis is a dh at best and I like the guy. We just cannot afford to keep him in the field.
Nah, Guillorme will be in the starting pitching rotation after Lucchesi's start today.
Oh man- on paper- that lineup really kind of sucks...They may not even be able to outhit the Yankees.
How many weak roll over ground balls to second can Conforto hit in row before he gets a day off ??????????????????????
Walk marisnek to leadoff inning
Walk pitcher trying to bunt on 4 pitches
2 out ball off pitcher that rolls too far away
Now down 3-0 💩💩💩💩💩
Pete 💣
Conforto 1 inch from HR
3-2
