Is it me or are the Mets just one hit away from getting back in all these close games. We know that they have a problem hitting with RISP but hitting into a lot of double plays. Just frustrating
Thanks for that interesting research regarding the similarities with Beltran. The one legit complaint is the lack of hustle running out of the box...he's of course not the only one but this is one thing he can control and fix. Different issue: I don't remember how and exactly when it became stylish to slow down the last ten feet when running out a ground ball but I can't stand it. But, in my view the sports media and media in general is the most self-important group of people I can think of. So Soto declining an interview or to be mic'd up is a horrible sin in their eyes and they're only too happy to stomp him. Vultures. If I were a pro athlete I'd find answering dumb questions from members of the media pretty annoying. My favorite is the one that runs like this, "Billy, tell us how it felt when you dropped that fly ball in the 9th with the bases loaded?".
Esa conversación con Soto se debe producir ya. Hace un par de semanas comentó aquí que veía a Juan con un lenguaje corporal apático. Ahora las acciones del juego, como su lentitud ayer al salir corriendo en busca de la 2a base, así lo demuestran. O se dejan las cosas claras o esta situación puede complicar la relación del jugador con los fans y, peor aún, con sus compañeros. Soy de los que no estaban a favor de fichar a Soto y de los que piensan que no cumplirá ni un tercio de su mega contrato. Su actitud no es, ni ha sido nunca, la que se requiere de un jugador de los Mets. Debería observar a Lindor para aprender cuál es el comportamiento que debería tener sobre el campo.
Gotta bust it out of the box, although 80 percent is okay if you think you got a hold of one and it doesn't go. You can still turn it on and make it to second. And of course with men on base you need to be cognizant of the guys in front of you; a runner on first may need to go halfway if it's a close one and you don't want to overrun him.
But you must must must hustle. That's how you play with intensity without pressing.
Anyway, right now we're seeing the 2022 version of Soto. He looks a lot like he did that year, and so do his numbers.
