This week, the Mets swept the Nationals and took three out of four from the Phillies—exactly what they needed to do—and they managed to do all of that without their best player in the lineup. Others have stepped up to the plate in a big way in Lindor’s absence and we have a whopping four fireballs on the meter this week, which is to be expected in a week where the team scored ten runs three games in a row. But the lineup has been pretty feast or famine. Players like J.D. Martinez and Mark Vientos have stayed cold, but this week the heat from the fireballs was enough to overcome that.
