Luke Weaver and Brett Baty’s Silent Struggles: What Went Wrong in Mets’ Crucial Collapse Against Diamondbacks?
“Adds more of a sting for sure,” Weaver said of blowing the save for McLean. “He deserves to walk out of that with his head high. Rely on us to get the job done in crunchtime. He deserved the win there. I hated to be that guy for him, but I’ll pick him up at some point and he’ll continue to do a great job for us.”
About that Baty play in the OF
The Moreno at-bat was the catalyst for the Diamondbacks’ win on Thursday, but could the game-tying double have been avoided?
Including Thursday, Baty has made just five starts in right field — facilitated by Juan Soto‘s IL stint — and is an infielder by trade. Moreno’s double had an exit velocity of 99.3 mph and had a hit probability of 45 percent, according to Statcast. But Baty didn’t seem to have a bead on it or know where he was in relation to the right field wall. The ball wound up sailing out of the reach of Baty and bounced off the wall.
