More Bad Offense
The Mets lost to the Expos 2-1 last night. Where have I heard that before? You can take what I said yesterday about the importance of not wasting good performances and substitute Tom Glavine instead of Al Leiter. A Mike Cameron error lead to the winning (unearned) run. So much for defense up the middle.
The Mets anemic offense actually managed 8 hits but were only able to push 1 run across the plate. Two Mets runners were thrown out at the plate. This is the big second guess of the night. Third base coach Matt Galante sent home Mike Piazza in the 2nd and Karim Garcia in the 8th. Some people have criticized Galante for sending the runners. Personally, I think it was a good move. When the offense is struggling like the Mets offense has (this was the third 2-1 loss in 5 days and the fourth game in 5 days in which they’ve scored just one run) you need to take some chances in the hopes that it’ll spark something.
