Kinda.

Looks like an incredible athlete. Super fast. But very long-limbed. Almost too long. Like it’s hard for him to have fine coordination because of it. I felt this way about Amed Rosario. I don’t think he’ll ever be a very good contact hitter because of it. It looks like he can hit one out when he gets a hold of one. He just hasn’t yet.

Took a bad route on that Rooker triple.

That may have been what it looked like when Michael Jordan tried to play baseball.

A lot of discussion in the booth about him last night, about how he is working on a new, more disciplined approach, but an .050 batting average has a way of making you revert your old free-swinging ways. Whatever limits his old approach had, it got him to the big leagues and has kept him there so far.

For what it's worth, his nine-pitch walk last night was sort of a stealth Turning Point of the Game. Mitch Spence was pretty spent after that, and the only out he would get was Alonso's sacrifice fly that Siri surprised Lawrence Butler on by flying home despite its relative shallowness.

Oh my god! Such grand talk after all of 20 at-bats. It's probably the terrible quality of baseball prospects. Or maybe that the KC Chiefs haven't started a season with four straight losses since god knows when. Siri'll probably bat .050 for the rest of his life. I can tell because he already had 20 at-bats this season.

Maybe fiber in your diet is an option.

Siri knocked out of the game just now after fouling a ball off of his lower leg.

Fractured tibia.

He’s going to be out at least 6-8 weeks.

That's not at all surprising. Guys don't normally stay down like that after fouling a ball off their legs.
Who was that (from the Angels? the A's?) who broke his leg after fouling a ball during a playoff series w/the Yanx about 20-some years ago?

Bad news, especially with Taylor not hitting. Perhaps: McNeil goes to LF and Nimmo to CF.

Some further food for thought:
  • McNeil has only just begun his rehab schedule, with two games for St. Lucie, so he probably isn't ready to be activated just yet.
  • Álvarez is ahead of McNeil, and the Mets have the option of carrying three catchers, while using Francisco on a limited catching schedule, and otherwise deploying him as a righthanded DH, moving Marte into the outfield mix.
  • Acuña also plays the outfield.

The Mets' web site seems to think the most likely plan, should Taylor continue to suck wind, is to have Acuna play more CF and then use Baty and ultimately McNeil at 2B.
