It was insane.Every metric supports it. Currently, the Braves lead MLB in barrels… the Mets are 17th. Braves are 3rd in EV… the Mets are 19th?!
I will say, it’s luck, but it’s also a little bit of their philosophy. They don’t swing and miss a lot, so they’re going to have more soft hits. But their bloops and infield hits are crazy.It was insane.
One hit was a grounder through the hole on the shift. One was a 42 hopper you couldn't have rolled any better between ss and 3b and then a bloop behind second that you couldn't have walked out and dropped in a better spot.
Meanwhile the Philles are about to leave 6 runners on in the last 2 innings after having 2 on with no outs
I'll give Canha credit for beating the shift but the other 2 are just plain luck. The ball is an inch left or right or hangs up another half second and those are outs.I will say, it’s luck, but it’s also a little bit of their philosophy.
