The New York Mets recently made a change at manager with the firing of Carlos Mendoza, but they continue to make brutal mistakes in what's been a disastrous season. And those mistakes came as soon as the first batter they faced in Monday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Toronto's George Springer hit a looping line drive that New York star left fielder Juan Soto read poorly and played even worse.
What looked like maybe an out, and at worst a single, turned into a little league home run for Springer. The ball went under Soto's glove all the way to the wall, and rookie center fielder A.J. Ewing went to pick the ball up before fumbling it away. By the time Soto chased the ball down, Springer was on his way home to give the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead.
"A comedy of errors in the Mets' outfield!" SNY play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen. "Soto got too close to it, and it bounced by him! And when Ewing came over to try to pick it up, he fumbled it, and Springer went all the way around to score!"
"Holy 2015 World Series!" Mets color commentator Ron Darling said. "I mean, my goodness!"
