If I imagine a Met losing a shoe running, I assume the absolute worst to begin with. Probably a twisted knee, or a torn achilles tendon. Or both. And compound fractures of tibia and femur. In both legs.
Jay "Homestand" Bruce is a horrendous slag. I hate him. Does nothing at the plate, which is endemic with this team, but his defense is so not-gonna-give-an-F that it is really outrageous. That wasn't the first fly to shallow right where he looked like he couldn't be arsed - not nearly.
Btw, it was the second baseman going back. The rookie second baseman. You know, one of the Mets' kind of position player rookies. They come up, sit on the bench for four days while nobody looks at them, then frequently play all the infield positions in the course of three days. Then they bat .210 for two weeks. Sometimes they bat .210 for two years. Sometimes, they bat less than that.
I also find it chilling, how the Mets manage to play all their outfielders out of position, and nobody seems to care. I remember Bautista as being quite good on D with Toronto, so why doesn't he play rightfield? Heck, he might get to a ball quicker than Jay "Quicksand" Bruce over there!!
Also, Nimmo seems to have hustle, or whatever they call it. He sure gets to first base quickly on getting walked or knocked. (And then remains there for the rest of the inning) He should play center. That gives left to Conforto.
And for "Windpipe" Bruce I have this one-way, second-class bus ticket, non-refundable, to Tucumcari, New Mexico. I am sure he can do some decorative standing in the way of Tucumcarians down there, too.
