Defensive lapses have transformed the Mets into a modern version of the Bad News Bears.
PHILADELPHIA — It’s bad enough the Mets haven’t delivered clutch hits nearly enough and that their starting rotation has been among MLB’s worst this season.The laugh track was a necessity Friday night as the Mets were bungling their way through. It’s a theme that has become all too common for a team wallowing in fourth place, and that, with each passing day, appears more likely to finish last in the NL East than rebound for a playoff berth.
The metamorphosis over the last few weeks had been downright startling. Nimmo saved games for the Mets earlier this season with his fancy glove work, but for the second time in just over a week, he helped cost them a game because he couldn’t handle a relatively routine play in center. The other occurred in the Subway Series, in which Nimmo’s misplay on a similar ball allowed the tie-breaking run.
“That one is on me,” Lindor said. “I usually tell my outfielders, ‘I’m going all the way until I hear you call me off.’ I went back and [Pham] never said anything. … I heard the crowd getting louder and louder so I was assuming he was getting closer, but it’s on me. I should have taken full charge of the ball and it’s a pop-up that I have made many times. It’s on me. I should have taken charge of the ball and I take full responsibility on that.
