Like most Mets fans, I was excited when the team acquired Francisco Lindor over the winter. We were supposed to be treated to one of the best players in the game in his prime. It is an understatement to say we have all been disappointed. And I’m not even talking about his putrid hitting. I am talking about the sacrifice bunting.
I won’t get into the argument that sacrifice bunting is almost always a dumb play. But for someone who is supposed to be an elite player whom you are paying $341 million to swing the bat, it is even dumber.
