C-Mac: Yankees and Mets couldn't be more different in handling momentum
It was a tale of two teams on Tuesday night, as the Yankees dismantled the upstart Royals on the road while the Mets flopped against the lowly Marlins at home.
For C-Mac, it was a fitting description of how differently these two teams handle momentum.
"The two teams yet again doing what they do and what they've done all year. The Yankees have done what they do, and the Mets did what they do," C-Mac said.
"The Yankees, undermanned in game one, came in there and took a victory, and absolutely pounded them in game two. That's what the Yankees do. That's what they have done, and that's why I think this team is different."
As for the Mets, he sees a team that continues to waste chances to build off momentum, as they come home from a thrilling win in the London Series finale, only to come up small against one of the worst teams in baseball.
"I believe in momentum a lot…there's gonna be times where it's up and down, and I get that," C-Mac said. "But off that meeting in Arizona, to take the first two games like they did, and then the last two, the way they lost, it was a momentum killer. That's why I lost faith in this team, because they can't sustain momentum.
"You go into London, you have a miraculous win…to head back off of a great win and find out earlier in the day that you're getting Francisco Alvarez back in the lineup…and the offense does absolutely nothing."
