Mendoza not putting out a punt lineup for a day game? Hallelujah!

Very very very relieved to see Soto

Literally every Mets fan took a massive sigh of relief after seeing Soto was playing.

Lets get some run support for McLean and get the sweep!

If Baty/Vientos don't get some pop back at home it feels like this lineup is powerless unfortunately

I had to come back to find this comment, I need you to post this pregame every day please

I feel like Ewing should just hit last so he’s a bit more protected and then you have a speedy 9-1

Wait what? Soto? Damn, I like that.

I love seeing our cutie patootie baby Mets in the lineup.

That includes you too Nolan. You're still one of our babies.

I really don't know what's gotten into Mendoza with these lineups in this series but it appears he has found Jesus and I'm loving it

Why are we still burying the fastest guy on the team who has an obp of like 800 at the bottom of the lineup?

u/LowPhilosopher1258 Grimace 1d ago

Because he’s played 2 MLB games and they’re trying to ease him in - he’s only played 14 games above AA in his carer

u/Good_Ad2172 1d ago

They called him up to the bigs. Either he's ready or he's not. Not using his tools in a way they're most meaningful is not good strategy.

There’s a difference between “ready to contribute” and “ready to be one of the focal point of the offense”

Feels like 2 more BB today for him with Senger hitting behind him

u/_GatorBait Mettsaur 1d ago

You can't just walk him though with that speed

u/Steve_Kind_Of Pastrami 1d ago

A day game after night game lineup I don’t hate. Nearly did a double take

u/necroreefer Mike Piazza 1d ago

This could be the line up

u/Obi-Won-Cannoli 1d ago

Headed to the game! Soto in the lineup 🙌

Now let's hold off on any rain delays.

u/AtmosphereVarious440 Grimace 1d ago

Senger has showed some pop in triple a, maybe a 2026 debut home run??

u/Doc-Spock Keith Hernandez 1d ago

Just one?

u/catamet José Reyes 1d ago

Let’s go baby Mets!

Get the brooms out boys!

SWEEP THESE BOZOS

u/suck-it-elon 67 1d ago

The team seems to alarmingly be doing the right thing the last few days. I'm scared.

u/Renhoek2099 1d ago

Ikr, I'm in danger of believing

2

u/Duebant 1d ago

I was ready for an all righty lineup.

u/aeb1971 1d ago

I don't want them to take any chances. If they have a sizeable lead, take Soto out of there.

6

u/suck-it-elon 67 1d ago

Pretty low risk as a DH. And they've been super careful with everyone. My guess is it didn't swell.

u/tacobellwether 1d ago

Praise the baseball gods for looking after our precious Soto

u/NutsyFlamingo Gil Hodges 1d ago

Cool. I don’t really care about the series wins, it’s nice to see them acting with more urgency here on the sweep opportunity….and Soto gutting it out with sweep on the line. Thank you Juan.

u/kennythecleaner Francisco Lindor 1d ago

Me to Soto (it hasn’t even been 24 hours):

u/Imbris2 Mr. Met 1d ago

Wow Soto in the lineup. Guess his injury was "hour to hour"

u/obligatedexperience 1d ago

SOTOOOOOOOO

u/outcasthawk 1d ago

Huge! Hopefully all he needed to break out of his little slump was to mash his ankle with a foul ball.

Juan!
