Joe ” Nirch” Kirch. A maniac visual analyst. Doesn’t care about stats. Will pick up a guy based on his swing alone or pitch alone, the old school way.  A huge Met fan since before birth. He strictly covers National League East action. NEVER, we mean NEVER misses an inning of a Met game. Is a fanatical minor league student as well, and could probably can tell you who will make the majors when they are still in grade school – you guessed it, on swing or pitch alone.
