Metstradamus - The Alternate Universe: Mets at Marlins 7-12-2020


The Alternate Universe: Mets at Marlins 7-12-2020
By  | 
The Sunday before the All-Star break tells you who has their concentration, and who is looking forward to four days off. You would think, in this matchup, that the Mets would be fully focused on the task at hand, while the Marlins, mired in last place, would be focused on their tee times.
But baseball has a funny way of twisting your latitude on things. The Marlins, with nothing else on in their vision but a vast wasteland, were just a little more focused on the game than the Mets, who have a playoff race to worry about. Giving away games isn’t the best course of action when you’re within a game and a half of five teams battling for two wild card spots, but it happens.

Don’t blame Marcus Stroman. Blame the shoddy defense behind him.
