"...proof that this lineup will trick pitchers into thinking they’ve got the upper hand..."??? Pitchers DO have the upper hand when they get two strikes. If we can get a hit despite that, so much the better. Btw, let's give credit to Zack Scott and Uncle Steve for trading for and signing Lindor. No better shortstop.
Great all around performance except for Nunez who needs to go back to Syracuse. Interesting to see Baty start for Vientos but it makes sense and paid off. Soto is heating up!
I'm a McNeil fan but let's not go overboard. At this point he should just be glad he's getting playing time. If he someday returns to being the .300 hitter he was, I'll be the first to celebrate.
Complete win yesterday. We played a really, really good ballgame.

LFG
With the lineup, the best is yet to come!
Pete Alonso is a bit cold. Hopefully, he’ll get three hits today to continue his MVP form. #LFGM!
Jeff McNeil is the secret sauce at the bottom of the lineup that allows the whole thing to click. We saw the same dynamic 2nd half last year.

Tuckers grounder was top of the inning, not bottom btw
