Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4274249, member: 27"] Agree, it looks like the Mets are one of the new teams that pretty regularly take advantage of the shifts on their hitters to get easy hits going the opposite way. McNeil has been great at it, as has Nimmo. Guillorme is very good at it as well. Lindor is going opposite field a lot more this year. And Polar Bear is taking the ball to right field a lot in key RBI situations as well. A lot of great situational hitting. I am not sure how much Eric Chavez, the new Mets hitting coach, is responsible for this, or how much Buck is driving this.; Would not be surprised if a lot of this is being driven by the players themselves. The announcers and players can't stop talking about how good the clubhouse is and how much veteran leadership is helping this team. 8 shutouts in the first 2 months of the season. With DeGrom out the whole way. What a crazy season so far. [/QUOTE]
