Escobar keeps coming up with a runner on third and less than 2 outs and he keeps putting up awful at bats and failing.  He has to be having one of the worst seasons I have ever seen getting a runner home in that situation.

McCann had a couple of big hits recently but other than that, we have been getting nothing from our catches offensively.

I believe Alonso had 69 rbis in the first 73 games.  Then nothing since.  The streak of games with no rbis is at 10 or 11 games now.  He affects to be infected by whatever Escobar has.  Takes strikes and swings at awful pitches.  No plate discipline.  Had that one game where he had 4 hits but is back to struggling again. Would like to see him try and use the whole field more.  And please lay off the breaking pitches low and outside of the strike zone.

I don’t want the Mets to trade a top prospect for Contreras.  Not with Alvarez so close.  I would be looking closely at playing Guillorme at 3B, at least against right handed pitchers.  Buck is showing great faith in Escobar.  I hope it pays off.
