The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
McNevin's OPS has been under .600 — which I like to think of as The Ordóñez Line — for the last month, and now, after one SHaM game, it's up to .622.

Fingers crossed, it's a good sign. Trading "first hallf" Jeff McNeil for "most of his career" Jeff McNeil would be bigger than any deadline deal we could make.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
Considering that his average first half exit velocity seemed to be somewhere around 22 mph, the power display last night was a nice surprise.
I didn't think he got the first one but it just kept carrying. The second was more obvious.

He's gotta have more 95+ exit velo shots in the last two weeks than had in the last year and a half.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
I haven't been counting exit velocities, but lest it be forgotten, McNubbs really turned it on in the last seven weeks of 2023 also.
He's hopefully pulling the same act this year, only eariier and maybe punchier.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
I haven't either. Just guesstimating 95 as a dividing line between hard hit and not.
But he spent most of 2023 and a good portion of this year playing patty-cake with the bat and ball. Any hits he'd get were mostly of the seeing-eye variety.

he hit two balls merely to the warning track at Yankee Stadium tonight. Not a great sign.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 9:47 pm He's gotta have more 95+ exit velo shots in the last two weeks than had in the last year and a half.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
It's better than pop-ups and multiple weak ground-outs which is what we've been getting from McNeil for a long time.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
I'm not going to lament two balls that went "merely to the warning track" in a game in which the Mets hit five homeruns despite being opposed by the defending Cy Young Award winner.
If a guy goes merely 2-for-5 with two doubles, I'll sign up for that the rest of the year.

Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
My insinuation is that they WERE pop-ups. Mostly a "ha ha this is Yankee Stadium that's basically the infield" way. The double was well struck, but the two flyouts were not. He hit them hard, for Jeff, but not really. Those are fly outs everywhere, pretty much every time. I'm glad he's hitting it harder, that's a good sign, but It's only a small data point. McNeil is still a huge problem that the Mets need to address, especially if guys playing over their head, like Bader and Iglesias, revert.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 6:48 am It's better than pop-ups and multiple weak ground-outs which is what we've been getting from McNeil for a long time.
Re: The McDeal with McNeil: Part II
McNickle has a lot of other data points.
And really, his current performance is more than a point.
