Why is Pete Alonso running the bases for himself in a pivotal play at the plate? Surely anyone the Mets have someone on the bench that’s a lot faster than him

Pirates send down former overall #1 pick Henry Davis. He had a -1.4 WAR last year in 224 ABs, playing out of position as a RF. He came into this year winning the starting C job, with the help of injuries, and hit .162/.280/.206 with -.4 WAR in 83 plate appearances. Dude hit with power and discipline through college and the minors and, while he wasn’t the consensus #1 (Jack Leiter and Jordan Lawler were in the mix, as well as Brady House for a good part of the year), he was seen as the safest with a “high floor” type of outlook.
This is now year 5 of the Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton rebuild and the team is now 14-18 and they don’t have a starting batter with an OPS over .750. The pitching in the minors looks a little better, but things are looking bad. |

I wasn't all that high on Davis and didn't like the pick for the Pirates. Catchers are such a mixed bag that unless the defensive tools are there to raise the floor, it's difficult to justify them in round 1. Then the Pirates threw more variables into the equation by seeming to not be able to decide if they wanted his bat in the lineup or have him behind rhe plate, which is going to hurt development. You have to go all in on one or the other. I liked Lawler and Mayer in that draft. I saw Leiter as more of a 3 starter. |

I was onboard at the time because they got a few overslot guys later on, but became real concerned last year when he got called up. His defense and arm were supposed to be MLB ready in college and then they stuck him in RF when they called him up. |

Elly ranks 17th in MLB in steals by a team!

Sam White had a 2-homer game yesterday in WVU’s 5-4 win at Cincy. They are in the hunt for the Big 12 regular season title (1 game back from Oklahoma and WVU has the tiebreaker due to sweeping them head to head). White is now slashing .323/.422/.538 with 8 homers and leads the team in games played and started (44-43). Here is a twitter link to the home runs (not the best camera angles): https://x.com/WVUBaseball/status/1786522115694321943 |

If they had anyone hitting besides Elly they would be a really fun team to watch.

Elly is so much fun to watch. He's young, and he fucks up from time to time, but man, he's fun.
I was looking at the old late 90s Reds teams, and they have some legit talent. Even when they weren't really competing, they had a handful of vet starters, and players. Maybe not the top of the top, but Schott did her best to put a good team on the field. These kids are exciting, but they are kids, and they slump together. It's going to be a long season. However, they have some stellar young pitching. Lodolo, Greene, and Abbott are very, very talented.
