Mets Notebook: Can Mets find production against lefty pitching?

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:43:37 GMT

MIAMI — Last season, the Mets hit .246 against left-handed pitching. It was neither good nor bad, it was exactly in the middle, the 15th-best mark in the league. Or the 15th-worst mark, if you’re more of a glass-half-empty type of person. The .717 OPS was also toward the bottom half of the league.The struggles against southpaw pitching were well-documented last season and alarm bells sounded all over again this weekend after the Mets managed only two hits off Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo on Friday night in a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins at loanDeport Park. They answered some questions over the weekend with two wins against lefties, but this particular storyline might be one that follows the Mets through the early part of the season if the trend continues.The Mets possess a very balanced lineup but the 2023 lineup is almost identical to the 2022 lineup. The club made a few tweaks to try and combat this problem. Right-handed DH Darin Ruf is no longer on the Maj...

Column: Will Chicago Cubs ask starters to go longer this year? Despite short debut, Jameson Taillon says ‘innings are sexy again.’

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:43:37 GMT

Jameson Taillon has a theory on the evolution of starting pitching.“Innings are making a little bit of a comeback,” the Chicago Cubs starter recently told me. “I think innings are kind of sexy again.”Well, it all depends on your definition of sexy.If Taillon is correct, it means more starters lasting later in games before giving way to the parade of relievers and the pendulum swinging back to the pre-analytics era.But we’re not quite there yet, and neither was Taillon in his Cubs debut Sunday. The team’s most prominent free-agent pitcher since Yu Darvish lasted only four innings in a 9-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers before 33,266 at Wrigley Field.Taillon wasn’t particularly sharp but didn’t think it was “anything too major.” Could it have been the added adrenaline of making his first start with a new team?“Yeah, maybe — there’s definitely some extra adrenaline,” he said. “But at this stage of ...

FRAMINGHAM – Duxbury boys hockey coach Mike Flaherty has been a part of some special games coaching in the CT/MA Cross-Border All-Star Challenge. He admits that probably none will ever top the opportunity he received when he coached his son twice in years past.The most exciting game is a whole different story, though, and an epic comeback in the CT/MA Senior All-Star Game Sunday afternoon at Loring Arena takes the cake by far.After forcing a shootout with a late, three-goal rally in the first year the decade-old challenge took place in Mass., the home team finished off a 10-9 win when Charlie DiMartino (Braintree) and Aidan Brazel (Hingham) each tallied shootout scores as Wellesley goalie Reagan O’Neill stymied both Connecticut attempts in extra time. Brazel (two goals, two assists) proved exceptionally clutch by assisting on Frank DeTraglia’s (Lincoln-Sudbury) game-tying goal before scoring to give MA a brief 9-8 lead with 2:18 to go, eventually earning the team’s MVP honors with h...
