They say that not all heroes wear capes, but I'm convinced Commissioner Manfred has a Mets-themed hyper-powerful light signal with which he can page OF Jay Bruce. The former Cincinnati Red went 2-5, 2 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI with a T9 grand slam with two outs that certainly had Atlanta's pitching coach sweating profusely. Closer Jim Johnson came in to literally save the day with 0.1 IP for a 9-7 Braves victory, and thus Bruce's clutch batsmanship was all for naught unless you own him in fantasy. He's hitting .293 and that was his ninth HR of the season, not to mention 22 RBI to show for his month of work. Asdrubal Cabrera also homered for the Mets, while upstart Michael Conforto matched Bat-Man's two-hit line to post a BA of .344 as New York's current leadoff man.
