re: #334 lawhawk

Looks like a great pitch. Too bad the Mets need hitters, not another quality pitcher. /nope, not sarcasm. The Mets really need hitters. Last night, they were subject to a perfect game by Kershaw for 7+ innings. Their cleanup hitter was hitting .170. Most of their lineup is batting under .250. A significant portion is batting under .225. That’s beyond awful, and makes the amazing things their pitching staff has done under the circumstances even more mind blowing.

Three starting pitchers have higher batting averages than some of the regulars that are in the lineup.

If the Mets ever could get a couple of good hitters, they’d be in great shape heading into September. If not, it’ll be a very long summer.

As a Mets’ fan of four decades, we call it summer
