Quote: We Didn’t Do It
During last night’s 9 to 6 loss to the Cubs, the Mets wasted numerous opportunities to score, including in the bottom of the ninth when David Wright struck out with a runner on third and no outs.
Wright, on his last at-bat, speaking to reporters after the game:
“I got the pitches I wanted to hit. I put the swings I wanted to put on. I fouled some pitches off that I should have put in play. He made a good 3-2 pitch, but I went up there with a good plan and a good mindset. I put some good swings on, but just didn’t get the results I wanted to get.”
Wright, on the missed opportunity to gain ground on the Phillies:
“Obviously, it’s a situation where we wanted to win, but despite what Philadelphia does or Milwaukee does, we still want to win. It doesn’t make it any easier when they lose. We had an opportunity to win and we didn’t do it.”
In 69 opportunities this season with a runner on third and less than two outs, Wright has brought home the runner 52% of the time.
