"Brandon Sproat started off taking aim at his own foot, walking Paul DeJong and throwing away a little swinging bunt by Jorge Alfaro, with DeJong scoring after Juan Soto didn't show particular interest in backing up the play. That tied the game, but just wait: CJ Abrams doubled to bring home Alfaro; Josh Bell hit a drive to left-center that hit Jose Siri in the glove and popped out, scoring Abrams;"
"Poor Siri. I mean, he'll now almost certainly lose his half-job to Tyrone Taylor, just spotted rehabbing at Syracuse, and that's not unjust. But up until now he was the Met whom fans would probably forget on a Sporcle quiz, and by the middle innings he'd thoroughly failed to do the only things he was on the roster to do and being forgotten would have felt like bliss. Also: It's not good when something happens in center field that makes you pine for Cedric Mullins."
Mets fans favor stubborn, anxious hope more than defiance, though occasional defiant moments emerge. A chaotic top of the third against the Nationals featured multiple defensive lapses: Brandon Sproat walked Paul DeJong, bungled a bunt by Jorge Alfaro, and allowed DeJong to score after Juan Soto failed to back up the play. CJ Abrams doubled, Josh Bell's drive glanced off Jose Siri's glove while scoring Abrams, and Daylen Lile's single scored Bell after Siri took a poor route. Siri's performance drew loud boos and likely jeopardized his role, with Tyrone Taylor available on rehab. Fans reacted with bitter boos and defiant social posts.
