E -METS. As an organization. In every way.
The Mets, an organization that does not value defense at all, paid the price once again Monday night at Citi Field with one of the most pathetic losses in the franchise’s history, 2-1 to the Giants in 13 innings.
The winning run came home when shortstop Amed Rosario dropped a two-out popup off the bat of Brandon Crawford in short left field after a late-charging Dom Smith, a first baseman by trade, ran into Rosario, giving him a forearm shiver to the back of the neck and jarring the ball lose, sending it to the soft green turf as what was left of the crowd let out one gigantic groan.
