New York Baseball Dog Day

Edwin Díaz, the New York Mets All-Star, is no stranger to the unusual damage. A few years ago, he tore his teller tendon to his right knee while jumping up and down to celebrate the World Baseball Classic victory. Still, what he described after he quit a game in late April was books. “Yesterday, my legs – one longer than the other,” he explainPlease go further before adding that the trainer “fixes it.” Asked for a detailed description, he replied: “I don’t know. I didn’t ask. He just did it, and then I felt much better.” His quote was widely circulated and shared on social media by bloggers and fans, confusing and joyful, but with little follow-up measures or explanation. The real story may not be that strange – there is a power imbalance in the hips, obviously – but his more shocking description seems reasonable enough for those who have taken root for his team. certainly Diaz’s legs were longer than the other. After all, he is a metropolis.

The Mets’ connection with ridiculousness has long been immeasurable with the team’s identity, something I spent a lot of time thinking about before the season, when I wrote a book Novel About the franchise and competition with the Yankees, other teams in New York. When he promised to rebuild the group’s Steve Cohen, the Hedge-Fund billionaire bought the team so that New Yorkers could be proud rather than vaguely embarrassing to wear the Metropolitan Metropolis hat—the default sentiment for many Metropolis fans since the team was founded since 1962, but especially after all the former owners, especially after the Wilpon Family, was the Wilpon Family of Wilpon Family of Wilpon Family. Bernie MadoffThe largest customer. And, lately, Cohen’s vision seems to be realizing. Last October, Juan Soto was signed, who was lured away from the Yankees, the biggest contract in baseball history. There is a general ability around the team. Even Diaz’s mysterious condition and recovery suggest a change – something strange happened, but the training staff has solved it! Almost immediately, his pitching became almost unreachable. On June 12, the team ranked first, leading five and a half times in the Eastern Conference of the National League.

Since then, the team has seen 23 wins and 36 losses, one of the worst records in the Grand Slam. It was horrible to start pitching. The bullpen is unreliable. Bats are anemia. The Mets have suffered more than two dozen explosion rates since June 13. Almost every part of the team performed poorly. Sometimes, their once-momented World Series competitors have signs: seven straight wins in July; last week, three unbeaten stretching. On Friday night, they had 21 hits and beat the Atlanta Braves 12 points. But whatever they managed to build momentum for fast resilience sports—the Washington Nationals were one of the worst teams in the MLB “feeling very normal” in a series of losing to the Washington Nationals, Nick O’Brien, who I met in Port St. Lucie in March in a spring training game, when I told me in a spring training game in March when I told me on the phone last week. “There are some traumatic reactions out there,” he added. On Reddit, Mets fans are busy arguing about which teams in the history of the series have suffered the worst collapse.

Some of them are too early. Good teams have bad weeks, even bad months. The Mets started their terrible games last season and participated in the National League Championship Series. Due to the healthy start of the team, their winning rate is still comfortable over .500, and they insist on winning the final universal card in the National League on the Cincinnati Reds’ lead. Attendance rates for attending Citifield are still strong. When I was in contact with another fan I met in spring training, he responded from Washington, D.C. where he took his son to see the Mets on the road—he gave me pictures of both of them and put on the deck in the Mets gear at National Stadium. “Everyone is doing his best, doing everything he can, and it feels like, well, you win a little, you lose a little! It’s not like a disaster,” said O’Brien’s girlfriend Kyle Gorjanc. “If the team fails to make the playoffs, it’s a disaster.

Nevertheless, even if the losses pile up, there is still a silver lining. After all, knowing that the team has not become unrecognized is guaranteed to some extent. “This weak mentality is a tenacious thing,” O’Brien said. “It feels a little bit like you can’t buy a way out.” Gorjanc and O’Brien competed in a game earlier this season, during which the team’s beloved former captain David Wright retired. “It’s cool about David Wright,” O’Brien said. “He mentioned Willpen in his speech and everyone booed.”

If these fans need more reasons to boo – they just need to look north and the Yankees are in a more spectacular coma. The Yankees enter the season, the second World Series favorite behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the end of May, they led seven games in the American League East with the Doronto Blue Jays. But since June 13, the date of the major misfortune of the Metropolitan Metropolis – the Yankees record failed and stood out. They are currently competing with the Boston Red Sox for the top general card. It’s a disappointing season for many supposed Swordsman: Even the Dodgers are relative to expectations, and while they still lead their divisions, their expectations are low. Every team that makes a credible in the playoffs is compared to the change in luck and the vulnerability of the human body. In this regard, the only team no You can say that the weak is destiny is fixed because their owners are too stingy to try.

Regardless of what happens in September and beyond, the front desk of the Metropolitan area will face a tricky off-season. Rumor has it that Díaz may be the best player of the season (at least because his mysterious situation is resolved) will test the free agent market, while the Mets’ popular Slugger Pete Alonso has recently set a franchise record for most home runs, so he can choose his contract. Cohen’s willingness to change the distance of the team may depend on how far he is willing to stay. As for Soto, as Gorjanc said, he is “satisfiing for a year.” But before Soto arrived, the team’s shortstop Francisco Lindor claimed the team’s wealthiest contract, first and forged the team’s MVP, too. “Maybe Soto needs the Metropolis before he matures,” Gorjanc said. Or another 14, I provided the length of his remaining contracts. ♦
