Don't Be Fooled

Don’t be fooled by the Mets stirring comeback from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game against the Marlins.

1) They lost. The Mets have the amazing ability to do just enough to lose.

2) John Maine sucks. I’m not sure his career is even salvageable anymore. This is the big problem with guys who don’t strike people out. They can’t get out of innings. Games always get out of control with him because he can’t strike anybody out. Hits and runs seem to come in bunches against him.

3) They still can’t get a clutch hit. The Mets got their six runs on 2 walks, 2 sacrifice flies, a groundout and a balk. And they could have gotten on more on a wild pitch if the Marlins hadn’t made a perfect play, though I don’t think Tatis should have been running. In the 7th, 8th and 9th innings the Mets combined to go 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. That includes Francoeuer, Bay, Barajas, Cora and Matthews. And if you notice none of those guys have been with the team for more than one year. So no matter who the Mets get, no matter their past history, they will come to Mets and suck, especially in crucial late game situations.
