How Far Will Pete Fall?

Pre ASB: 30-68-280/372/634//1.006 OPS+162

Post ASB: 4-10-151/315/342//658 OPS+74



The best you can say is at least he's taking his walks.

He's getting pitched to more carefully, which is a natural consequence of his performance in the first half (and, to some degree, the weakness of the Mets' hitters behind him). He's a rookie who needs to adjust as the league adjusts to him. I'm not concerned long-term. It was perfectly reasonable to expect stretches like this one, well before he started exceeding reasonable expectations with his first-half hitting.

Hit 8 more home runs. Everything else is Alonso-brand gravy.

Is anyone blaming the Home Run Derby yet? It's probably inevitable if he doesn't snap out of it soon.

[G-Fafif]

Everybody and his overly savvy brother is blaming the Home Run Derby. But unless his entire career is ruined (which I don't believe), it was worth it.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I don't believe in curses but I felt like we watched him get into this mess during the first round of that meaningless stunt contest, which Pete took way too seriously.



Gets dinged as I write this....get well soon brother

This year's Curtis Granderson Sucks thread

[Edgy MD]

And seeing how the Mets are done with the Marlins until September 23, Curtis Granderson is perfectly welcome to pick up that gauntlet and go on a tear.
