Metstradamus - The Lights Were On, But Nobody Was Home


By  | 

So I was ready to quietly put this to bed. Look, I knew they would lose. It was just one of those nights where the Mets were flat, and you could tell from the beginning when J.D. Davis got picked off in the first inning. There was something about this team that was in a fog. And hey, it’s understandable considering what they had to go through this past week. If they had just gone down meekly, even without full effort, then it would have been somewhat understandable. Yes, they had a ton of runners left on base, but most of them were left at the feet of Ali Sanchez, making his first major league start. And as wild as Trevor Rogers was in his first major league start, he also brought gas, and it was tough for a guy like Sanchez with his long swing to catch up to. Okay, fine.
But then the 7th inning happened, and it absolutely can’t be excused.
