The New York Mets offense actually had a good night on Monday. In fact, when Jacob deGrom doesn’t start, they have shown up.
Specifically, two of the noobs on this team have taken over the offense. Veteran outfielder Austin Jackson has been on fire of late. Following a brief slump, rookie Jeff McNeil has exploded at the plate.
Minus Jay Bruce, Yoenis Cespedes, and other big bats, the Mets are now putting out a regular lineup short on talent. Amed Rosario is batting leadoff with mixed results.
