Hard to argue with Duda’s success these past 2 months.
Have heard and read many discussions on whether he’s got what it takes to ‘stick’ and if his power will continue.
As I believe he’ll likely be our RF to start next year, we’ll soon find out.

he certainly has been productive. I’m so proud!
and hard to not see him penciled in as a starter next year. Just which corner of the OF remains to be seen (no, I have not given up on the pipe dream of Bay being moved along).

Never thought that 1-0 lead would hold up. Acosta and the ‘holding your breath’ variety type save.
And why is it that Dickey never gets any run support? Poor guy.

If Duda had come up with the Yankees and as a DH produced at the same clip as he has with the Mets the press would be drooling all over him.

Yes, but he’s only hitting .231 in September so far and if not for that stretch since August 8th he’d have less RBI’s then Ruben Tejada.
True numbers but I just felt like busting chops, Dude’s rounding out nicely. Here’s to hoping he finishes strong. I’m just slightly envious since he’s been given every opportunity Nick Evans never got under the Jidiot the past few years. At least Nick is getting a few AB’s recently and producing too. And he’s a year younger.
