Jeff McNeil came up with the late game heroics on July 4 as the Mets beat the Yankees. Plus, the spirit of 2024 appears to be alive and well with the 2025 group...
A great win. I'm skeptical of the emotional-based narrative that when a team performs well it's because they're gritty and tough and when they perform badly, it's because they lack "fire" or a "pulse". Sometimes I think it's the other way around. Great play by my boy McNeil. He's an infielder and he fielded a ball and then threw to first. I don't see how "presence of mind" enters into it because that's what infielders do all the time.
I find it hard to keep up with the comings and goings of the Mets pitching staff. Peterson to me is a terrific 2 or 3, the rest of the rotation is in and out. Would like to see a guy at #1 that takes the ball every turn and gives a 6-7 inning effort. The more the bullpen is used to cover for inadequate starters, it diminishes their ability to complete the job every time out.
