Metstradamus - The Alternate Universe: Giants at Mets 7-1-2020



The Alternate Universe: Giants at Mets 7-1-2020


By  | 

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.
