Nobody in baseball hits the ball harder than J.D. Davis this season. Yet despite how hard he hits the ball, extra-base hits have eluded Davis in 2022. Is this just hitting into bad luck or is there more that meets the eye with Davis? Host Ryan Finkelstein takes a deep dive into the numbers on Davis and tries to explain the contradiction between his advanced metrics and actual stats this season. Should he be the Mets primary DH for the remainder of the season? Also a preview of the Mets upcoming series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The New York Mets were shutout for the first time this season, dropping their series opener to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Taijuan Walker and Colin Holderman at least threw the ball well for the Mets, but the bats could not get anything going for them. Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the game and then dives into prospect talk for a Friday Farm Report. Francisco Alvarez got off to a great start in Double-A this season, before going through a prolonged slump where he did not homer for 30 games. He has begun to come out of it as of late, and is once again looking like one of the best prospects in baseball. With some of the top prospects graduating this year, could Alvarez soon become the top prospect in all of baseball? Ryan discusses and also talks about a few high-octane relievers in Triple-A who could help the Mets this season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
