The Mets had a bit of a rough week. They went 2-4 at home against the Marlins and Yankees. It didn’t help any that their previously red-hot offense came down to Earth. A few players had good weeks, but they were certainly in the minority. The Mets still hold a six-game lead in the division, though, and just as the extreme highs couldn’t last forever for these hitters, the extreme lows shouldn’t last forever, either.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Eric Campbell, IF | -- | Campbell did not fare well in the few plate appearances he made. | |
Yoenis Cespedes, OF | Believe it or not, Cespedes is human. After hitting like Mike Trout from the trade deadline until the beginning of the week, he struggled mightily. | ||
Michael Conforto, LF/1B | For the first time in a while, Conforto didn’t have a good week at the plate. | ||
Michael Cuddyer, LF | With a 109 wRC+ for the week, Cuddyer was just cromulent enough to warrant the green arrow. | ||
Travis d’Arnaud, C | A fantastic hitter this year when healthy, d’Arnaud had perhaps his worst week of the season with a 41 wRC+. | ||
Lucas Duda, 1B | The lefty hit a big home run but struggled otherwise. | ||
Wilmer Flores, SS | Flores didn’t hit much in the games he played. | ||
Curtis Granderson, RF | A huge part of the Mets’ success this season, Granderson had a tough week. | ||
Dilson Herrera, 2B | -- | He only made one plate appearance, but he walked in it. | |
Kelly Johnson, 2B/OF | Johnson continued to produce in the very limited time that he played. | ||
Juan Lagares, CF | The center fielder had put together some better weeks with the bat recently, but this was not one of them. | ||
Daniel Murphy, 2B/3B | In limited playing time, Murphy hit .286/.333/.643, and he’s now up to a 103 wRC+ on the season. | ||
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | Kirk went 0-for-1 for the week. Meter Avenue can be a cruel place. | ||
Kevin Plawecki, C | He only made one start, but he didn’t reach base in it. | ||
Anthony Recker, C | -- | Recker went 0-for-1 for the week, too. | |
Ruben Tejada, SS | With a 1.069 OPS, Tejada was the team’s best hitter among the regular and semi-regulars. Nice. | ||
Juan Uribe, 3B | It was all or nothing for Uribe, who had a .500 SLG despite a .167 average. And with zero walks, that .667 OPS wasn’t very good. | ||
David Wright, 3B | The third baseman had a fantastic week at the plate, hitting .364/.440/.591. | ||
Eric Young Jr., OF | Mostly a pinch runner, Young scored a couple of runs and stole a base, but he failed to reach base the one time he got an at-bat. |
