Zack Scott’s dig at Mets players also bad look for organization

The Mets started what promised to be an endless day in a hole that felt much bigger than the second-inning deficit they carried into Citi Field courtesy of Tuesday night’s surprise storm.

In the first and only act of a doubleheader that called for them to finish nine innings in Game 1 and play seven in a Game 2 that would be postponed by rain, the Mets had to overcome Washington leads of 3-1, 4-1 and 7-4 to win, ultimately, on Brandon Drury’s pinch-hit bloop in the eighth. They also had to overcome a challenge more forbidding than anything the woeful, stripped-down Nationals could muster: Zack Scott’s decision to air out his players for failing to do more to help themselves and their team.
