Duda Watching

[Edgy MD]

Now that his slump has covered about half the season, I'm not shy about wondering if maybe the Mets have had a second consecutive 30-homerun first baseman turn into a pumpkin. Have they?

If not, what in the name of Willie Monta�ez is to be done? I'm asking because shopping list for hitters has seemingly included shortstops, outfielders, and third basemen, but at this point, why not look at first basemen?

Tell me, why not?

I can't think of a single reason why they shouldn't be looking to acquire a first baseman along with those other parts.

his usual L/R splits are actually reversed this year, making finding a platoon partner harder to justify right now.

maybe we can find someone for a home-road platoon instead? these numbers are Dante Bichette like:

Home: .280/.397/.547
Road: .191/.279/.284

[Edgy MD]

That correlates pretty nicely with the Mets' home/road records.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Indeed it does.

The Mets are frighteningly Duda-pendent this season.

Well, good thing they didn't sign him to a long-term deal, anyway.

Yeah, you gotta look in the offseason. This ain't working. There's no injury apparent, so it's just a reversion to suck. I was hoping the 30 dingers weren't a flash in the pan, but it's looking more and more like they were.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not particularly speaking about the offseason.

Nor am I particularly speaking about the lack of dingers, so much as the lack of any sort of big league production at all for the last 45 games.

I was the one talking about lack of singers. We need minstrels dammit.

To be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out
And his elbows broken

Sorry, better you than me.

Caught it before I saw your post. Auto-correct in my MacBook is making me look silly left and right.
