Quote: Cancel was Brain Dead
Yesterday, with the Mets down by just one run in the third inning, Robinson Cancel was thrown out trying to steal third base, with David Wright at the plate facing a 
left-handed pitcher, against whom Wright is batting .387.
Jerry Maunel, on Cancel, while speaking to reporters following yesterday’s game:
“He was brain dead or something, something was wrong with him right there. He’s probably one of our more intelligent players, and, like I said, he’s brain something got crossed up there and he decided to take off. But, he’s a better player than that and he knows that’s not a good situation to run in.”
…it happens…it shouldn’t, but it does…this was basically just one example, though glaring, of the lack of execution and focus that ran rampant among the team the entire weekend, whether at the plate, in the bullpen or on the base paths…
