Please send Baty and MauricO for 4 to the minors so they can hit 350 and then trade them for a bag of Di€ks .
214 3 HR another Error for the man in his 4th full year
MauriciO for 4 looks like a clown on breaking balls. A very long looping swing that will hit a tee ball fastball 450 feet to wow you with potential.

The thing with Baty is that last year, when he knew, he goes to the game and either he is starting at 2B or starting at 3B every day - he had a pretty good year. This year, he could be 1B, RF, 3B or not playing.

He is the perfect example of needing a change.

You watch- if we were to trade him- some team like Minn or KC picks him up- puts him in one spot each day and we end up seeing him in the AS game...lol

But, at this point, he just isn't good

I've been a fan since 62 and can't remember a double header allowing 10 runs in each. Apathy on the part of the players and the fans kills the season....not to mention the S word: Stearns!
As a kid, I remember going to a Mets vs Houston double header where the Mets won both games 1-0. Pitchers Gary Gentry in game 1 and Jerry Koosman in game 2 drove in the runs.

Any chance we could trade for this guy at the deadline? Looks like someone who'd fit right in.

I know that was tongue in cheek, but it prompted me to look it up. Alonso has a partial no-trade contract. Every year, he can name eight teams to which he can refuse a trade. Wonder if the Mets are on the list?

This is how we win games moving forward. You build around Ewing (love him) Benge (love him even more, Soto ( contract) and Lindor (contract). I get not wanting to stretch out Scott as he is coming off major injury. McLean should be Fine and bullpen has been solid.

If i am the GM see what you can get for Freddie. If we got a teams. 13th ranked player for Peterson have to think another desperate team will pay even more.

Have to go rebuild mode at this point.

Mauricio is a brain dead CLOWN
Guy can’t find the plate after WALKING THE BASES LOADED
Your garbage non hitting A$$ chases a 1-0 pitch with bases loaded and hits a lame pop up to second

then dopey moron Alvarez tries to hit ball 1000ft and chases balls above his eyes

Andy Green has to go.

There is a manager available who just two years ago, took his team to the NLCS. Just sayin'. ;)
This might be more on Lindor not going up to manager and saying I can give you one at bat
Or he could just tell Coach….” I’m taking the next big at bat “ outside of top 3 in lineup

It is unfair to expect people to be anything other than who they are. That is true of Mauricio. He is an undisciplined free swinger who is easily fooled. He lacks the ability to zero in on a specific pitch in a specific zone, and to take the pitch if he doesn't get it.

You want him to take a strike in that situation? Then tell him to. Andy Green didn't. It's on him.

Semien out 4-6 weeks. Will anyone notice?
Yes we will notice, because his replacement at 2B is worse.

Luis Robert is beginning his rehab assignment. When he is ready, maybe install him in CF and move Ewing temporarily to 2B? Maybe Robert will get hot and we can sell high? Maybe this idea is insane? I am open to all possibilities.

Or maybe move Polanco to 2B - if he is capable of movement?
