In this clip from “Giant Mess”, New York Mets fan Neal Lynch takes a closer look at how the team’s rankings in the National League highlight areas that need improvement, including:
- Pitching – home runs per 9 innings pitched, walks per 9 innings pitched
- Batting – runners left on base, lack of slugging, lots of walks
- Wins Above Average by Position
- Starting Pitching – among the worst
- Relief Pitching – among the best
- Catchers – we’re sorely miss Omar Narvaez
- First Basemen – Pete Alonso continues to crush it
- Second Basemen – Jeff McNeil and Luis Guillorme
- Third Basemen – Eduardo Escobar drove score down, Brett Baty’s helped increase that number
- Shortstops – Francisco Lindor is still an exceptional player
- Left Fielders – Mark Canha needs to step up
- Center Fielders – Brandon Nimmo is an MVP candidate
- Right Fielders – Starling Marte hasn’t been what he was
- Designated Hitters – a glaring concern for most before the season, that position is holding its own
- Pinch HItters – Bench bats haven’t produced

ABOUT NEAL LYNCH:
I’m an Irish-Italian-American who graduated from 1) a Catholic high school (even though I’m not Catholic), and 2) a college known for producing doctors and lacrosse players, then became neither. Former college quarterback and pitcher turned over-thinker. Instead, I’m a blogger, vlogger, podcaster, writer, editor, optimizer, strategist, analyst, and failed stand-up comedian.
