DENVER — At least we learned the Mets’ stubbornness possesses a limit.
At most? Well, at the risk of being overdramatic, at most, the Mets’ bullheadedness cost them a 2019 playoff berth.
As first reported by MLB.com and confirmed by The Post, when Noah Syndergaard takes the mound against the Rockies in Wednesday afternoon’s series finale at Coors Field, he’ll pitch to René Rivera, not Wilson Ramos, thereby granting Thor his wish to deploy either Rivera or Tomas Nido as his battery mate.
There’ll be no spinning this one: Nido started Monday night’s game, catching Steven Matz as the Mets dropped the series opener, 9-4, falling five games behind the Cubs in the race for the National League’s second wild-card spot, meaning that Ramos will start only one of the three contests in this set.
