Listened to the end on the radio. Almost drove off the road at an inside-the-park HR. Do outfielders ever back each other up anymore?

Weird play and bounce. As ball was hit towards left side of centerfield but then bounced backwards toward right field.

Also could Mullins have done anything different. As he went after the ball and then was too close to the wall to stop the ball from bouncing back

ANYONE HAVE BAD MEMORIES OF HOW CESPEDES BUTCHERED THE FITCH PLAY/ FIRST PITCH OF 2015 WORLD SERIES

BY DROPPING AN FLY BALL IN THE ALLEY THAT 99% OF CENTERFIELDER MAKE.

THEN KICKED THE BALL, TO GIVE THE ROYALS A GIFT, INSIDE THE PARK HOMER

ALSO HATED THIS KIND OF OFFICIAL SCORER RULING.

AS WHY DOES THE PITCHER GET CHARGED WITH GIVING UP A HOMER.

WHEN MOST CENTERFIELDERS WOULD HAVE KEPT IT TO A DOUBLE.

SO WHY NOT A DOUBLE AND AN ERROR BY MULLINS IN CENTERFIELD?

Despite Soto being a very POOR (765 mil) right fielder, there's no way he nor Nimmo could've backed that up. It went to left centerfield and caromed off the wall towards right field. Soto was properly playing towards the right field line. Very weird.

It is tough to fathom, I will be happy to see Tyrone back. Low hit,and an occasional surprise at the plate, but he is the most reliable cf playing terrific defense. The noose is getting tighter on the Mets, and hoping the execution is called off!

Hated the Mullins trade from Day 1. As the complaint against Taylor was, he was a great C/F Defender but only s light hitting 222 hitter

SO WAS IT REALLY SMART TO ACQUIRE MULLINS WHO HAS BEEN A 230s HITTER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS,

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO JUST CONTINUE TO USE THE MCNEIL/ TAYLOR OPTION

OR NIMMO DOMETIMES

OR EVEN DREW GILBERT. WHOSE SHOWING WITH THE GIANTS, THAT HE WAS READY FOR MLB METS
