It’s not a matter of nit-picking, it’s a matter of having ALL our players have good fundamentals. If you want to be a champion, you have to play like one.

It’s good I’d only echo a statement Clayton made that as of recent it seems “they have failed to get the bunt down when it matters most”.

The mid-late eighties Mets starters were so good at the plate.

Mets hitters batting indeed are the worse in the NL.

To reinforce your points here are the updated pitchers batting statistics which include last night’s Niese bunt. :-)
