I've grown weary of the bad ABs. Not loving the thoughts expressed by Dom, Conforto, Pete, etc. This idea that they haven't "gotten hot" yet. As if a great two weeks would make up for game after game after game of feeble approaches and futility. It's been hard to watch. And harder, lately, to listen to.
Some defensive comments I’d like evaluated: first, mistake allowing run after Guillorme’s throw got by Pete was Pete’s, not Luis’. As Keith noted, Luis gave him a long hop. I would have added that it should have been caught. If folks don’t agree it was a relatively easy catch for MLB player, then Pete should have come off the bag to get the ball and save the run, sacrificing the out.
Second, fault on failed run down wasn’t Guillorme’s but McCann’s. While the catcher was right to send the runner back toward third, he held the ball too long. What should have been an easy tag out at least several feet from the base turned into a close play where the runner could avoid the tag. Our fab announcers missed this, I think. Thanks!
As long as Diaz is coming out of the bullpen, and the "400 million dollar cheerleader" bats 2nd - The Mets are sentenced to another year without the playoffs.
