Soto has an obp of .438 and we're lamenting that he hasn't had a "signature moment yet"--what a luxury! Maybe best thing to happen in yesterday's game is Nimmo breaking out...Vientos has hit some hard outs. And Senger hasn't been the automatic out we feared. Great arm! It's wild to contemplate Mets were prepared to go forward without Alonso this year. Without him our record might be reversed.

We all wanted Pete back, for a lot of reasons. He wanted to be back too. We can all count our blessings it worked out.

He's going to be a beast this year. He has the shoulder tucked in, really bearing down on the ball, he's balanced and not chasing, he's fouling off tough pitches. LOOK. OUT.

And you're right about Soto, too. He's on base every game and the weather hasn't even warmed up yet. Likewise for Lindor. He's hitting in the cold weather. Just wait until things heat up in May.
