In November of 2020, when people were losing their minds about having Michael Conforto under control for only one more season, there was an article here comparing the team’s top hitters, which concluded that the Mets’ offensive core was Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo, with Conforto being a cut below that trio.

And what made those lefties special was their ability to retire LHB. If you were a lefty who did better against RHB you were discarded. If you [...]
One of the fundamental questions in baseball is: How do you want to win the game? For the second straight night, Buck Showalter pulled an ace pitcher who wasn’t on the top of his game, only to have the bullpen give up runs. The Mets didn’t have a lead in this one and ended up [...]
