We’ve heard a lot lately about how much better Juan Lagares is playing since he’s gotten consistent playing time. He’s been playing so good, we’re told, that even when Brandon Nimmo and Jed Lowrie return that he should continue to get playing time. But has anybody actually looked to see if this is true? It’s [...]
Victor Caratini clubbed two home runs to power the Cubs to a 4-1 victory over the Mets Thursday night and a sweep of the three-game series.

While his teammates are grabbing most of the headlines, one of the keys to the Mets’ second-half resurgence has been Wilson Ramos.
