With last night’s 0-4, Starling Marte now has 47 G, 182 PA, 66 OPS+ and a .594 OPS. Using the Baseball-Reference span finder and using the first 52 games of a season (to match the Mets’ games played to date) with a minimum of 150 PA and an OPS (OPS+ not an option here) between [...]
There are three primary narratives playing out this season for the 2023 Mets, and all of them are having an impact on the team’s underwhelming performance in a season preceded by sky-high expectations: the state of an old starting rotation that is struggling both with performance and health, another year in which we’re discussing a [...]
