Part 4/5:
Moving on to discuss the Mets’ lineup for a recent game, JJ offers insights into the checkered nature of arranging the batting order. He expresses confidence in placing Lindor and Soto at the top of the order but suggests a strategic shift for other players like Mark Vientos, advocating for him to be elevated in the batting order.
JJ argues that Vientos, who thrived last season and has earned a nickname embodying his confident playing style, should not have the burden of batting lower as he continues to develop his skill set. Anthony agrees, noting that while the fifth spot can ease some pressure, Vientos’s talent deserves recognition and a higher placement in the lineup.
