3 years agoNew York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil went 1-for-3 with two RBI in the Mets 6-5 loss to the Dodgers on Friday. For whatever reason, McNeil and Dominic Smith, two of the Mets most productive hitters, were held out of the starting lineup on Friday with Dodgers lefty Julio Urias on the mound. Eventually, both players made their way into the game and McNeil had three plate appearances. On the season, McNeil is batting .268/.344/.388 with six home runs, 28 RBI, and two stolen bases in 279 PA. McNeil should be back in the starting lineup on Saturday when the Mets face Walker Buehler in a tough matchup unless the Mets analytics department decides to run another inferior lineup of journeymen into the field behind starter Taijuan Walker.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
