Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 4723991, member: 210"] I don't see how a lineup with Nimmo, Alonsono, McNeil, Lindor in the top half can be this bad. I get that the trades hurt the pitching depth on the team, but the real story is that since the 2nd half of last season this team just cannot hit with runners in scoring position. BTW this was also the same story that sunk 2021... those same four guys could just not hit with runners in scoring position. Remember the Met fired the hitting coach in 2021 mid-season. So looking back three years across multiple managers and hitting coaches we have a half season of good hitting under pressure and 2.5 years of poor performance. Love Pete... but he is not David Wright or Mike Piazza. He hits way more HRs than anyone, but can he do it with the pressure on and can he do anything else? Wright and Piazza carried their teams, I haven't seen that from Alonso. [/QUOTE]
