Bichette's Clutch Hit Silences Critics

It's March 31st.

Boba Shet had a rough patch right out the gate with the New York Mets, going just one

for 14 over his first three games with eight strikeouts.

That drew booze from the home crowd.

He owned it after, saying they were fair.

But fast forward to Monday night in St. Louis against the Cardinals, and the Shet turned

it around with a clutch go ahead hit in the fifth inning.

That liner went 106.8 miles per hour the other way, scoring Carson Benj to put the Mets

up for good in their 4-2.

Victory.

He ended the night one for five, including another scorcher at 99.1 miles per hour, with

the bases loaded in the sixth, though it died, in the outfield.

Fans were quick to pile on after that shaky day view series, but Boshet's been slotted

third in the order behind Francisco Lindor in Wonsoto, so the...

Boshet's real with the Mets shelling out $42 million a year to pry him from the Toronto

Blue Jays.

The quality of his contact Monday showed he's got the tools to bounce back, even if the

average isn't lighting up yet.

Officials and analysts see this as a sign he's settling in.

Plenty of baseball left this season, and if Boshet keeps delivering those big moments,

Boshet's booze could turn to cheers quick.
