I mean it's not that extra-base hits are ever unimportant, it was just... They should have PHed for him 3 times but can only do it once. There's some Twitter wound lickers arguing the Mets are doing this guy dirty but they can't just let a guy walk because he wants to, they'd possibly lose the whole team that way. That said if Nido continues to have games like yesterday (he also foolishly threw a ball into center field on a ball-4 stealing attempt) I'd consider Meso but he's gotta swallow his pride, fire his agent, report to Syracuse, beat out Rene Rivera, and hope d'Arnaud remains a medical scratch. He'd have to be better than Nido, right? Man, he's one of those "you know shit went bad if he's in the lineup" guys, if ever there was one (Nido, I mean, not Devin "Uggs McMurtry" Mesoraco).
