Before the Friday night game against the Rockies, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and president David Stearns discussed player performances, including Francisco Alvarez's struggles and Ronny Mauricio's success at Triple-A. Mendoza emphasized his commitment to Alvarez despite recent challenges post-injury, highlighting the need for patience. Alvarez's poor early season numbers are attributed to a significant swing change and missed training time. Meanwhile, Mauricio has excelled since being promoted, showing impressive numbers in his brief stint, indicating a bright future for the prospect.
"We saw he was having a hard time against velo, but I'm going to continue to say we need him and I'm going to continue to give him chances," Mendoza said.
"A player who made a very significant swing change in the offseason, lost all of spring training, got off to a late start and has probably been fighting himself to this point," Stearns said.
"Through seven games with Triple-A Syracuse, Mauricio is slashing .560/.586/.960 with three homers and eight RBIs."
