I've given him some leeway in the hope thar at some point he could start to look at the hitter he did 2 years ago but Dom has to go. I'm not just looking at bases loaded 1 out vs the Cubs but I'm thinking about the same situation in a game vs Atlanta later in the season.
Every team in AL East is above .500
In the NL East, Marlins are 2 games under .500, and if they pull ahead, that will be 4 of 5 teams above .500
Central and West divisions of NL and AL are top heavy

Another great job by Cookie. Also, as a spot starter or middle/long relief, Trevor Williams with another great effort. Who was it that wanted him released, remember him asking "didn't we have anybody better in the minors"? Yup, it was you. LOL.

But that is more happenstance than absolute skill
Hitting the ball hard which is what exit velocity measures is the sign of a good hitter
Carasco is actually a very good pitcher. His problem has been the handful of games that he comes out with nothing and gets rocked. But, he is very deserving of his starting spot.Another great job by Cookie. Also, as a spot starter or middle/long relief, Trevor Williams with another great effort.

it is amazing that he is on a pace for 18 wins.
Williams is your normal MR/Spot starter type guy. Could be a number 5 on a bad team but has a lot of good outings but also with bad innings thrown in.
I don’t have a problem with him. But we find we have to rely on him more then we should have to. When deGrom gets back and stays healthy and if/when Megil gets back, we have a couple of guys like a Peterson and Megil that will be there to take some of that work off. And if they are solid, it leaves us with a hole at setup unless Lugo or Otavino step it up.
hopefully that setup role is available for us at the trade deadline.
Btw- team is starting to get that fun feel back to it.
Great points. I must admit, it when I watch him, I can’t figure how he gets guys out. But he does. Am I nervous in a big game- yes. But we’ll see. Keep it up, Cookie
Mets fans, pretty cool stuff if you like long boxers. https://fanatics.frgimages.com/FFIm...55236-08689c707d309776b6c4alt1_full.jpg&w=900
Draft Sunday! Can't wait to see what we do.
deGrom went 4.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K in Cuse. Alvarez showing good plate discipline walking a lot but yet to hit much. Jose Butto could be in AAA soon and he's the best closest SP pitching prospect we have currently.

Don't forget May will be back soon. Hopefully, he can return to be a solid reliever, and the Mets are less dependent on Lugo or Ottavino. If you move Peterson and Megill to the bullpen, make the relievers (Ottavino, Lugo, Smith, May, Hunter, Holderman, and Rodriguez battle for the four remaining spots in the pen if they want to be on the team down the stretch. The first four go to Diaz, Peterson, Megill, and Williams.
If it's broke, a reliever who can't go one inning without causing heart attacks, replace them. 😁

Tony Gywnn, Wade Boggs, Derek Jeter, Rod Carew, Pete Rose and many other may disagree...
Exit V is a sign of a hitter with power. I would dare to say that Kingman and Gallo have much higher exit velocity that any of the above mentioned. Does that make them better hitters?
BTW- for me, today's game may be the biggest of the season...we win, and we have the first two after winning the Atl series and have Max going...would love to know we have at least 3-4 in final series before AS break with a chance at a sweep.
Then we hopefully see deGrom back soon and feel we are almost 100% for the first time all year.

What? Would you rather someone who goes 2-for-5 every night with three-hoppers through the infield gaps, or someone who goes 1-for-4 most nights but absolutely crushes it?
After the All Star Break:
Mets: Padres (3), Yankees (2), Marlins (3), Washington (3) then Braves (5)
Braves: Angels (3), Phillies (3), Arizona (3), Phillies (2) then Mets (5)
First of all your example is not valid, as no one has hit .400 for years.
But I'll play along. The 2 for 5 guy's three-hoppers don't always find holes. Sometimes they are rally killing double plays.
The guy with extra-base power is more likely to be pitched around, and thus draw more walks. Why pitch around the singles hitter?
So the guy who crushes the ball is likely to have the higher OPS. I will take my chances with himm
Not if you gave them a zero for exit velocity when they strike out
Those guys you referenced made good contact. Good contact means you will generally have good exit velocity
Sure someone who swings from their heels and happens to catch one but I am talking about for all their at bats not 1 out of 4/5
I think the guy with high exit velocity over time will have more 2 for 5 games than the guy hitting dribblers and soft liners

I'm confused- does exit velocity account zero's for strikeouts? Or balls you make fair contact?
And of course, good hitters are going to try to hit the ball hard. But great hitters will also take the specifics of the AB into account with their hitting. Some, just don't have the body strength or torque in their hitting to be maxed out and they have to rely on making "solid" contact rather than swinging all out every single time.
I could build a WS champion with an infield with average EV that no one could really have a problem with
Give me Hernandez at 1B, Carew 2B, Boggs 3B Jeter SS add in Gywnn in the OF
I understand that a hard it rate or EV will help a hitter but it isnt always the answer
Rainout is a real bummer...and yes, I also know it accounts only for balls hit in play which is why toms response about zero for strikeouts made no sense.
Yes I didn't understand that either.
Speaking of EV this new Bat tracking data is going to be amazing. I can't wait until it's everywhere.
Everything to know about Statcast's new bat-tracking data
“This is a quick, strong game,” said legendary hitting scientist Ted Williams in a 1986 conversation with Sports Illustrated. “I want to get the bat there as quickly as I can.” Ten years later, future Hall of Fame slugger Jeff Bagwell echoed the same point to the same magazine. “Guys

I don’t think individual swings and misses should go into the calculation but strike outs should
That is the issue I have with analytics is that striking out is no big deal
Strikeouts have nothing to do with EV. They are taken into account in other stats.
A trivia question for a rainout day.
In their 60 year existence, only 10 Mets have won a Gold Glove. A shockingly low number, right. HOW MANY CAN YOU NAME?
One should be common knowledge, several are gettable, a few are really tough.

David Wright?
Jose Reyes?
Roger Cedeno?
I feel like Keith won it before joining the Mets.
Correct on David Wright. He won it twice, in 2007 and 2008.
Jose Reyes never won it, which surprised me. Neither did Roger Cedeno.
You are correct that Keith won it before joining the Mets. However...
