The Daily News reports that the Mets have asked MLB to change Andrew McCutchen’s hit on Saturday to an error on Dan Murphy.
What?
Hey baseball can you give one of our guys an error?
What??
It’s not like the hit stands between Dickey and a no-hitter.
The reason is to be “fair” and lower Dickey’s ERA.
What???
How does it help the Mets if Dickey has a lower ERA? So they can pay him more the next time his contract is up?
Friends, this is major evidence of the anti-Murph conspiracy. We saw it last week when the Mets benched the hottest hitter in baseball for a guy they DFA’d the next day. We heard it yesterday on the radio-cast where the two Not Howie’s tried to sell that Murphy left third early, and now this.
I’m on to you Mets, and #imwith28 and there are others in my group. We’ll be here, in the seats, watching you…
It almost seems like they are rooting for Murphy to mess up. #Imwith28 too. We’re pulling for you Murph!
It’s strange that they’re making an issue of it, though it really should have been scored an error in the first place.
I’d imagine they asked for the change because it was clearly an error. Let’s face it Murph is a above average bat but, he’s a liability in the field.
I’m a Murphy fan.
I think there is a point here, in that seemingly everyone falls over backwards to point out Murphy’s (at least partially alleged) shortcomings while at the same time minimizing his strong points.
But this should be an error.
