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. |
