Saw this video posted on Blowout showing how Jeff McNeil, who went bonkers after Rhys Hoskins' slide the other day, pretty much never makes an effort to break up double plays. Often, he even just steps out of the way.

Apparently Pete Alonso is the only player on the Mets that makes an effort when sliding into second base.

Reminds me of when Tommy Pham called the Mets position players the least-hard working group he's ever been around last year. He apparently wasn't talking about Nimmo, Alonso, or Lindor by the way.

Hopefully this gets the attention of someone over there and helps change the Mets' sliding "strategy".
