4/08/25 | MACK - MY TUESDAY OBSERVATIONS. This is the fourth year Baty has tried to crack the Mets starting lineup. The options are playing LuisAngel Acuna full time, waiting it out until Jeff comes back, going to the church and lighting candles every night praying that Ronny Mauricio will be back soon, or promoting D.A. Castillo from Syracuse, who is also hitting below the Mendoza line this season. The Mets pitching is currently carrying the ghost bats on this team and nowhere is this more apparent than second base. As for Baty, he doesn't even line up as a viable piece in a future trade. Source: http://macksmets.blogspot.com/2025/04/mack-my-tues... |
4/03/25 | MACK - My Thursday Observations. Guess you say Starlin Marte or Luisangel Acuna hit a home run between being plunked all night, but this was tempered by David Peterson's first home run pitch. Tuesday just brought back some more of those ghost bats standing behind the ghost pitcher. Thankfully, the pitching is holding up through this rollercoaster ride, and It sure doesn't hurt what little the Braves are churning out, but the Mets need to get their bats together and make sure Philly doesn't spring out of the gate with too big of a lead.

3/29/25 | Reese Kaplan -- Game One Is Finished But There Are 161 More. It's a 162 game season and no team goes 162-0. While it's way too early to draw any definitive conclusions it was encouraging to see the glove work by Luisangel Acuna whose addition to the 26 man roster was indeed an eleventh hour decision. It appears as if for the early part of the Jeff McNeil absence it is Carlos Mendoza's intention to play a strict lefty/righty platoon at second base with Brett Baty riding the pines (or fiberglass) whenever a lefty starts the game for the opposition.

3/25/25 | New York Mets Prospect Could Be a 25-30 Home Run Hitter, According to Baseball America. At New York Mets spring training, much of the prospect discussion has centered around infielder Luisangel Acuna and pitcher Brandon Sproat. Baseball America recently listed him as one of their potential breakout prospects for the year. Clifford is a RoboScout favorite with his massive power and keen eye. The strikeout rate thus far makes him a “three true outcomes” hitter, with 25 to 30 home runs in his bat. Source: https://www.si.com/onsi/minor-league-baseball/news... |
3/22/25 | MACK - MY Sunday Observations. Good morning. I told you that I predicted big things for pitchers Jonah Tong, Will Watson , and Eli Ankeney this season. We now move on to my favorite bats. Frankly, I'm not that high on the prospects the rest of you prop up. I expect no bat to crack the Mets 2026 starting lineup, other than Luisangel Acuna if he is sent to play in Syracuse this season. I like Jesus Baez and Nick Morabito at the next level, but I'm not confident enough to predict either of them as my Bat of The Year. My runner-up is outfielder Carson Benge . Benge was the Mets first round pick in the last draft (1.19), out of Oklahoma State. He didn't play much pro ball last year (55-AB for St. Lucie), but he hit .273/.420/.436/.857.

Unfortunately his 2024 season in AAA was not nearly as impressive but when summoned to help tide the team over in September when Francisco Lindor was injured, he responded in a big way with his bat, his glove and his legs.
