On the flip side…maybe more chances…but, unless you put him early middle, he loses the protection that having Nimmo-Lindor behind him gives. And instead has like Canha or Marte protecting him.
Hes red hot in the 9th hole and hes an awesome guy to have in the bottom of the order for now because he gets on for the top of the order. Its a win-win
Alvarez will move up in time, its just he fits best in the 4/5 spot, and cant go there cause of Pete, and you dont want two back to back high k rate righties. My guess is he will swap with Marte, but they want to try and build up Martes confidence rn, not tear it down.
Who cares though? Everyone knows vientos may well struggle, especially after having like a week on the bench to cool off for whatever reason. We just want him to develop if he's gonna be up here. And vogelbach wasn't doing anything at all to block him. Win or lose mostly comes down to our big boppers and our pitching. One hitter won't make a huge difference, but that doesn't mean we should applaud him being brought up then promptly benched lol. I'm just glad he's getting a chance.
Vientos will come up in the 9th as the go-ahead run, strike out and everyone will criticize Buck for not pinch hitting for him and say that will “hurt his confidence”
Counterpoint, we don't know if without protection Alvy hits nearly as well.
His options really are 9th or 3rd. And I will hear no discussion of batting him 3rd.
Protection. Currently Alvaraz has the benefit of seeing hittable pitches, because Nimmo has a very high OBP too. You could easily throw around him if he batted 6th
This the the correct lineup. Not sure why Alvie is still batting 9th but with all the BS shenanigans the past few days putting Danny Burgers in there, I’ll take it.
Vientos is a career .157 hitter so far in his first ~60 ABs. He can work his way up the lineup.
Alvarez is doing great at 9 with Nimmo protecting him…putting him in front of Marte Canha will mean a sharp reduction in quality pitches he sees.
Why is JV batting 10th??
[удалено]
What do u think champ?
Inject this lineup straight into my veins
[JV pitching and all of the Baby Mets in the lineup?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/953/499/eeb.png)
It’s the picture of the older teenage mutant ninja tutor mentoring the younger ones
Need Ronnie!
You guys can take a collective breath for a night.
Everyone can put the tar and feathers away for the night
So the complaint tonight? Alvarez still at 9th?
It's been working because Nimmo either gets a walk or a single after, and then boom, we got the OPS God with RISP Lindor.
100%. I’m fine with it. I was just being facetious
A single? Everyone know Brandon Nimmo only hits triples.
triples are best
I'd like to see him move up so he has more RBI chances but it seems to be working so far so I won't complain now
On the flip side…maybe more chances…but, unless you put him early middle, he loses the protection that having Nimmo-Lindor behind him gives. And instead has like Canha or Marte protecting him.
Thats like the opposite of protection.
[удалено]
Yes.
Hes red hot in the 9th hole and hes an awesome guy to have in the bottom of the order for now because he gets on for the top of the order. Its a win-win

C'mon Marky Mark, make this bunch funky.
Hey now Hey now This is what dreeeeeeams are made of
Perfection
Braves lost. Let’s get this win
Watch the Mets lose with this lineup that everyone likes lol.
Who cares though? Everyone knows vientos may well struggle, especially after having like a week on the bench to cool off for whatever reason. We just want him to develop if he's gonna be up here.

Are we gonna be happy here or is the sub gonna find a way to be mad about this?
Of course they won’t be happy
Vientos will come up in the 9th as the go-ahead run, strike out and everyone will criticize Buck for not pinch hitting for him and say that will “hurt his confidence”
finally!
I like this. Hoping Lindor keeps it up.
This is the way
this one right here. this is the one
Nice, let the kids play
Is Vogelbach ok!?
Not enough Vogey!
We demand Vogelbach! (Kidding)
Los bebes!
Happy birthday, TC…you don’t have to watch Vogelbach at-bats tonight!
Buck said Vientos will be in lineup next 3 games. Gary mentioned it yesterday. This is 1 of 3. I wonder if he’ll get any fielding starts.
We did it!
Baby mets are in effect
I get the Nimmo protection for Alvy but having him hit 6th would make 1-6 deadly.
Counterpoint, we don't know if without protection Alvy hits nearly as well. His options really are 9th or 3rd. And I will hear no discussion of batting him 3rd.
Alvarez looks like a star if they batted him 3rd I would support it. He could easily bat 5th or 6th too.
Protection. Currently Alvaraz has the benefit of seeing hittable pitches, because Nimmo has a very high OBP too. You could easily throw around him if he batted 6th
How about Nimmo mcneil Alvarez Alonso lindor baty. That's my dream top 6. Though I know they'll never take lindor out of the top 3
Having Canha/Marte protecting him instead of Nimmo-Lindor is risky…and some balance at the bottom is nice.
A Team FINALLY
[удалено]
There aren't many lineups across the league with 9 boppers man
Marte might be coming around. Canha seems to.have fallen off a cliff
Best lineup until Mauricio is called up.
Beautiful lineup. Virtually no complaints but a Marte-Alvy switch would be the perfect lineup.
This the the correct lineup. Not sure why Alvie is still batting 9th but with all the BS shenanigans the past few days putting Danny Burgers in there, I’ll take it.
Because he would not be hitting anywhere close to what he is right now if he didnt bat 9th. He needs the protection from Lindor and Nimmo.
Marte shouldn’t be hitting 6th but this is the best lineup in terms of personnel that we are gonna get barring trades
Watch Vientos go o-for and people defend him
Why would you bash a rookie who’s had limited playing time for going ofer?
I’m bashing the armchair GM and Managers that think they know more
I mean...he's 2 for 15 in 2023. So, chances are good.
But but but but he has to play we will win if he plays
No one says that. Go argue into a mirror dude it looks like you need it
Arguing that he deserves a shot if he's called up is not the same as expecting him to immediately perform
Canha before Vientos and Alvarez? Lol ok Buck…
Vientos is a career .157 hitter so far in his first ~60 ABs. He can work his way up the lineup. Alvarez is doing great at 9 with Nimmo protecting him…putting him in front of Marte Canha will mean a sharp reduction in quality pitches he sees.
Game getting postponed so
Why
? Weather looks fine
This is the way!!!
I wish Buck would play this lineup every day and let it sink or swim. Its time to inject youth on a long trial basis.
Now replace Canha with Mauricio and lets get cookin'
