I'm reminded of last season when he had a stretch of excellent plate discipline but was unable to pair that with any slugging. Best stretch of hitting came when he started letting loose and chasing a bitYeah I think he’s a guy that needs to just be aggressive and you’ve just got to accept he’s going to be streaky.

A Luis that isn't getting his A-swing off isn't going to do enough damage. He's being passive IN the zone while hitting like two thirds of middle-middle pitches into the ground.51% overall groundball rate, under 12% pulled fly ball rate, and a 3.3% barrel rate. All worse than league average and career worsts, leading to a 4-31 skid with only 4K but 0BB. The timing at least makes for funny small sample size theater?His defensive metrics are also down a little, so some of it could be just the general Mets struggles compounding. They broke the streak and Soto is back, so hopefully the vibes start looking up.

I figured for all the talk about Getz getting his pocket picked, Robert must be doing something special. Turns out...nope. I wish him well, but I think he's some version of the stats he's put up over the last two seasons. Pereira, on the other hand, that Cease trade just keeps on giving!!
