If the Braves’ powerful lineup and solid pitching staff isn’t enough, Buck Showalter has another reason the five-time defending NL East champions are legitimate.
“I think what people miss is they have plus defenders at each position,” the Mets manager said Monday at Truist Park, where his team opened a three-game series against the BravesMax Fried and Dansby Swanson won Gold Gloves for the Braves last season, and the team had finalists in Matt Olson and Travis d’Arnaud.
“It’s a team that won the same number of games as we did last year,” Showalter said. “Obviously it hasn’t worked out for us this year, but they are a really good defensive team. They turn a lot of hits into outs.” Orlando Arcia is one of the best-fielding shortstops in MLB.Starling Marte received a second opinion on his right groin strain that showed “nothing negative,” according to Showalter, who indicated there was a procedure performed Monday that it’s hoped will “speed up the process.
Mark Vientos is progressing in his rehab from left wrist tendinitis, according to Showalter, and should be ready for a return from the injured list near the date he is eligible next week. Pete Alonso is still a villain at Truist Park. The animosity in Atlanta stems from Alonso saying “Throw it again” to Braves pitcher Bryce Elder after blasting a slider for a homer against him in June.
