Not an Asset to the Abbey

[Edgy MD]

It's hard to admit after all they've done for the team this year, but right now, McNeil and Alonso are not helping the team much at all.



I don't know necessarily how to address that, but let me put in one more plug for batting Nimmo leadoff.

Last thing I'd think of is pointing fingers at those two.

[Edgy MD]

Not pointing fingers, but acknowledging that it's a tough time to see them slumpin'.



My finger remains totally pointed at the manager.

Mickey gave Alonso Friday off, and it didn't help. Sometimes these things just happen.

I think Pete will benefit from three games in the thin air of Denver and three in the bandbox in Cincy.

I hope so, because every game is a must-win at this point.

McNeil hasn't really been right since he came back from the injury. Hopefully he'll get his groove back quickly.

Against a lefty, too.



Played Canó against both lefties though.



Agreed that these things happen. I still think it would help them both to bat them three and four with Nimmo leading off.

This is Alonso's first full season in the MBL "life.' All Star weekend was a big moment for him. Add all he has done and I'd guess Petey is emotionally and physically spent.

I pretty much agree. Things didn't have to be so tight for the Mets at this point in the season where decisions get picked at. With failure comes finger pointing. Yes Mickey, I'm looking at you
