The Alternate Universe: Giants at Mets 7-1-2020
By metstradamus | July 1, 2020 11:35 pm
We’ve all been depressed about
what’s going on in the world regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, and baseball has
become collateral damage. The 2020 baseball season is set to begin in late
July. Until then, you can read this blog in the alternate: the one where global
pandemics were a myth and baseball was around no matter what. We’re imagining
the 2020 Mets season as if everything was normal. Enjoy these works of fiction.
The
Mets have never been the best at beating the teams they’re supposed to beat.
But give the Mets credit this week as they’ve played the Giants six games and
have beaten them five times. They’re trading water against the good teams and
that’s all you need, really. Also what helps is that the Giants absolutely
cannot hit to save their lives. Marcus Stroman gave up an RBI single to Brandon
Crawford in the fourth which tied the game 1-1 after Pete Alonso’s RBI single
in the third, but that was it in 6 and 1/3.
We are getting closer to reality games.
