You gotta love Jerry Manuel’s quote on mets.com regarding Robinson Cancel’s second inning play (hat tip to Mets Blog):
He was brain-dead or something was wrong with him right there, … He’s a better player than that.
Of course, Manuel was talking about the wrong play, Cancel getting thrown out trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs and Wright up. The real problem was Cancel’s lead off bunt single, which lowered his GWH from the perfect 1.000 to .750.
