Posted as Daniel Murphy’s two-homer day makes this less pressing:
I was going to point out that Murphy and Thole have had particularly poor Junes at the plate, but . . . well Thole’s still had a rough month. The Mets haven’t quite gotten everyone going at once this season — when Davis and Duda weren’t hitting everyone else was, and now vice-versa — and the on-base guys struggling has hurt the Mets’ offense this month. The hitters have combined for a .699 OPS coming into today, though they’ve plated an above-average number of runs thanks to some timely situational hitting. Also the Mets keep scoring runs as I write this so I’ll just end this here.
Wright with a sub 1.000 OPS for the month? TRAID!
Thanks to the blowout win following 4 close losses the Mets run differential and record are nearly in sync on the season. All it needed was some time.
