"Roosevelt Avenue Baseball Notes" Mets Baseball Column By Ron Dresner email: ron@newyorkmets.org
5/10/08 -- There are three general subjects which I would like to discuss briefly -- the Mets hitting, pitching and base running.
I'm calling the Mets offensive approach in April and May so far "chop n' go". Willie Randolph is patiently waiting for the Mets offense to come alive while one of my favorites, David Wright, seems to have lost his way and lost his confidence. So, I think the Mets hitting coach, Howard Johnson's response has been to adopt a Jose Reyes hitting style for the majority of the team which can possibly work. The "chop n' go" approach I am describing is that quick-swing stance that will get a single for the batter if successful. This means less home runs and more runners on base.
Is this approach working so far? First of all, it's only my opinion that Howard and Willie are professing this onto the team. Second of all, if it is in operation, the team cannot wait for two outs to start making things happen. You know how many times I've seen rallies possibly begin and end when there were two outs. The Mets just can't wait...........
