Gary and Keith talking about what happens if Ohtani comes to the Mets. Imagine him wanting to join this dumpster fire!

Time for the SF Giants to pony up 400m for Ohtani after dodging the Correa bullet.

Who knows but hearing the number being thrown around is 600 for 10. Pretty soon we`ll be talking NBA money !

Alvarez seems to be getting stronger as the year has progressed. And he has been clutch. I like what I see.

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, Alvarez now has five game-tying or game-winning home runs in the sixth inning or later, which is the most in MLB.

Alvarez now has more HRs (16) than any other catcher in baseball this year.

He has two 3 game series this year with 3 Home Runs. The only other Mets Rookie to even have one 3 game series with 3 Home Runs was Larry Elliot in 1964.

He is 21 years old.

He is currently one of their very few shining lights. He has been clutch and he seams to have the qualities to be a star.
Even the way he responded to when he was thrown at and hit on the wrist was like a pro.

On the flip side 5 game winning streak. Looking good but sadly still looking 5 games under .500 and a lifetime away from the Division lead and/or the wild card

After Francisco Alvarez' 2 HRs last night, he has 19 HRs in 219 at bats.

I believe he is #2 in MLB with a HR rate of 8.6% or 11.5 at bats per HR.

The only guy ahead of him is Ohtani, with a HR rate 9.6% or 10.34 at bats per HR.

Aaron Judge last year had a HR rate of 10.8% or 9.19 at bats per HR.

The most HRs by a catcher age 21 or younger is 26 by Johnny Bench.

Alvarez is tied with Josh Jung for most HRs by a 2023 Rookie and is 1 ahead of Corbin Carrol. Carrol and Jung each have more than 100 at bats than Alvarez.

He is one of the rare Bright spots for the Mets. He looks like he is the real deal and hope he continues to grow and prosper.

more interesting stuff

He leads all Catchers YTD with 19 Home Runs but needs to get his Batting average a bit higher and On Base Percentage to have even more impact.

Be fun to watch him

As for the rest of the team....????
