Thanks for posting that, and I hope Team Joura had a great Christmas.
It’s AB like that that make me so hopeful for what this line up can do. I think of you look at the Liondor AB for game 161 in ATL, you feel that same magic. Im warming up to the notion of Bregman and Vientos to 1B.
The best offensive season in Mets' history is John Olerud's 2018, when he posted a 167 wRC+. That's one of only two seasons in team history with a mark over 160 - HoJo 166 in 1989 is the other.
Soto had a 164 mark at age 22 and a 180 mark last year in his age-25 season. Can't wait to see him write his name all over the franchise's single-season record book.
What a fantastic read. Thank you Brian for posting this deep dive. The pitch-by-pitch breakdown really showcases both Soto’s skills and the drama of that particular AB. I followed all the links in the article too and spent a lot of time checking out the “Seager” statistic. What an insightful tool!
Ok, fine. I’m willing accept him on the Mets for five years.
Welcome to the dark side Gus. Soto is a winner, and gonna do magical things in Queens.

Lindor
Bregman
Soto
Vientos
Nimmo
DH
McNeil
Alvarez
Siri
Pretty fierce looking
Thanks - it was a terrific Christmas in my house. Hope it was in yours, too..
I want Taylor to be the starting CF. While he may not have Siri's power, I think he'll be a better all-around hitter.
