17. Hits Different Draft Based on Names Only

The first half of the Mets' season is over and they're now in a Wild Card spot, leading to rampant speculation by sports writers who may in fact be chatbots that Pete Alonso will NOT be traded at the deadline. Duh!! We never even worried about it. What are we worried about? Hardly anything. Just Gunnar Henderson's Leonardo-DiCaprio-in-Django-Unchained cosplay and the future of Joey "Fuego" Lucchesi who was designated for assignment by the Mets last week and has since cleared waivers. So, he's still a Met for now but the President of Baseball Operations already came out in public and described Joey as someone who has "pitched well at times." Not exactly what you want to hear from your boss's boss's boss about yourself. Maybe Francesco, the guru who was living in Joey's house all winter, was not the correct guru for him.This week on Hits Different, we're recapping a 5-1 home stand by your New York Mets and we're conducting the first ever Hits Different Draft Based on Names Only. The coolest baseball names on the list—those are the guys we want.Let's go Mets! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
