Agree, Baty has been a big disappointment. If Escobar were still here, he probably would have been sent back to Syracuse to get his confidence back.

It is a big jump from AAA to MLB and some players struggle to make it.  Some never do.  I am confident he will hit in the bigs but it looks like we have a horrible hitting instructor and almost everyone in the lineup is struggling.  It is a bad environment for a young player.  Once Escobar got traded, he has had to go against lefties all the time (the Mets are horrible against lefties and face a lot of them) and that exasperated a bad situation.

Pretty amazing what Alvarez is doing in the same situation.

I am hoping Vientos is left at DH for the rest of the season.  I think it is worth leaving Baty at 3B the rest of the season.  Call up Mauricio and give him the LF job.

The season is lost.  No one wants to watch DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega and Danny Mendick fail every game.

Let the kids play and hopefully get to the point where they will all be productive players for 2024.

Also, I have seen enough of Starling Marte in a Met uniform.  That was awful watching him butcher the fly ball hit to his right last night.  Not the first time he has decided he doesn’t feel like going after a ball hit his way.

If he doesn’t want to play, fine.  Release him.  Ugh.
