This is just how our season is going. 😭

[@tcbowen12]

Has to be tough given the expectations. I'm an Orioles fan so usually pur expectations are usually pretty low. Hopefully our time is coming soon though. A lot of high hopes in our organization right now. Rightfully so. Been a long time coming though.

[@JC-bl9bo]

@@tcbowen12 orioles looking good and fun to see! I love when a down team finally puts things together. Especially a team that beat the Yankees 14-1 last night!

[@tcbowen12]

@@JC-bl9bo that was definitely a fun one to watch. We have 4 guys on the roster 25 or younger right now and quite a few more making their case to get that call. Fun time to be an Os fan right now. Those guys are having some fun this year for sure. It's good to see.

[@SoundFX09]

A Great Example Of LOOOOOOLLLLLLLMETS on what should be a Routine Play from the Outfield!

[@jetmets]

Lol shut up

[@SithScribe21]

If Eddie is paying attention, I think he may have an ITPHR! McNeil is usually pretty solid, but I’ll take a Mets blunder anytime they’re playing ATL!

[@Nihilianth]

@@SithScribe21 Fer real, though. Atlanta is a bonafide BEAST of a freaking team! 8 all stars, all four starting infielders are all stars. The pitching staff is just about as devestating as the famous Maddu-Glavine-Smoltz rotation. Zero excuses for the braves to not win the World Series this year. I think theyre actually better than the Rays as well.

[@pigybak]

E-7!

[@johnemard3177]

Not hustling on the bases was worse than dropping the ball once. Let alone three times.

[@johnthompson5741]

If you're in that situation as a runner that's a standup double 7 days a week and twice on Sundays. The fact that it was mishandled 3 times in a row is so rare, it's a miracle he got to 3rd in the first place. It's almost akin to giving a runner flack for not sprinting on a hit popped up to RF after a drop. In just about any case that fielder is gonna play the ball right and there's a potential for an out. This runner didn't have an out to risk but exerting himself for something that can be jogged just wastes energy that they might need on a hit to the outfield that results in a bang bang play at the plate

[@jimtaylor6905]

I waas a catcher but taught to use the bare-hand to push the ball into the glove or if fielding bare-handed to push the ball down then pick it up\

[@Nihilianth]

LMFAOOO! Yo, this video just jogged some memories I didnt know I had! One of my Little League coaches used to get frustrated with me for always trying to pick up the ball with the glove! I always wanted to do that! lol!

[@jeffr3773]

Exactly, it's something you learn on day 1 practically, how do people get all the way to professionals making mistakes like this

[@TheArtOfDean]

"Eliminates the transfer"; excellent point.

[@vasarian]

That's not how I grab my balls! - Ta Da-Dum! Thank you I'm here all week!

[@user-zq5eb2hj9o]

Shades of Timmy Lupus of the bad news bears

[@tcbowen12]

Yeah you gotta eliminate that transfer. It should be "routine" but anytime you have a runner going extra bases it's not quite routine. The pressure is elevated.

[@wes100]

Send him back to the minors!

[@mikenathan9032]

Sounds about Mets

[@user-ui3cn3zs3v]

How do I keep my head from moving up and back (sort of recoiling) when I make contact? It causing me to top spin the ball a lot.

[@Somedude819]

Throw it again 🤣🤣

[@notapplicable531]

Actually, the ball falls out of his glove twice before he has a chance of getting it into his hand. Seems large gloves may be benificial for catching fly balls, but not for what we see here.

[@stevetee5076]

I think he usually plays 2B which requires a much smaller glove.

[@drewbryant38]

Throw it again, drop it again, lose it again

[@brianarbenz1329]

Looks like spectator participation night. The first 9 fans get to play.

[@jackson5116]

If Rosario had been running hard past second, there's a great chance he would have scored on that play during the 3rd bobble.

[@Nihilianth]

Yeah, but the chances of him dropping it one time, nevermind THREE...Just not something that happens at this level. Especially from a solid left fielder like McNeil. I doubt anyone would have been steaming around second with the intention of scoring.

[@johnemard3177]

Charlie Hussel Pete Rose would have scored.

[@grahammarshall1199]

This is almost as bad as players sliding into first base on a non tag play!

[@aarond23]

McNeil not known for his glove, he messed up some plays in the WBC for team USA

[@w1ntertide]

"outfielder"

[@Idiotsincarshere]

This is how our Show season is going.

[@jeffdavis2648]

Another classic Mets moment

[@gravysmackers6994]

seems like a classic case of slow down just a second. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Actually, you missed THE point which is to eliminate the transfer. It may have been laziness or might be that he needs to drill the bare handed method more so that he isn’t using his glove. Your theory that slow is smooth and smooth is fast only applies to those who don’t already have the basics down so better stated (even for them) is “form first”. Get the form right and then you can go as fast as you want (so long as proper form holds up). If McNeil had slowed down but still used his glove, he still has to transfer the ball.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

No sir, he only dropped the ball twice. The first mishandling wasn’t a drop …unless you are saying he had possession but somehow let it slip out of his hand. The second and third were clearly drops as he attempted the transfer (glove -> hand).

[@skydiverclassc2031]

His eyes got ahead of his hands.

[@Chilltownify]

Barehand that thing!

[@massey4business]

I was gonna say "you see that everywhere! Little league, pony, high school.. Majors" 😅

[@johnpaulkane6153]

He will never be a yankee

[@cmacdhon]

At least he didn't drop it 4 times.

[@robertcuratolo5339]

😆 Why you picking on the Mets {39-46}

[@amessina6691]

McNeil plays lots of positions but he's really not good at any of them. LGM😢

[@smokesgtp]

He's very solid at 2b and he's fringe average in left. This was a weird, flukey play.

[@amessina6691]

@@smokesgtp He butchered one at 2B yesterday.

[@EfrainFragoso]

That’s a quick demotion to AAA . 😂😂😂😂

[@LawnSpa]

classic mets.

[@JW-dy8ru]

Did he have money riding on this game? He must have bet on the Mets losing. I though MLB players stopped betting on games.

Bro needs drug tested 😂

I always thank the pros for showing our kids that anyone can make mistakes. So.... thanks buddy!
