In some ways, this weekend’s Metro series could have been the Mets taking over this baseball town. They came to the Yankees house to take free agent award Juan SotoLast winter, prying from the Bronx, an excellent pitcher, a star shortstop and a better record. Maybe a better buzz across the city.

But the series is over and the Mets certainly don't look like a better team, especially after Sunday's performance, winning Cabrloy in the eighth inning with an 8-2 loss Pete Alonso A terrible throw at the start made the run score and tilt a tense game.

The same Mets?

Hopefully not. The Mets may be a better team in the months from now on, with talented on the court and in the front desk, and the October phase should be their ultimate verification basis, whatever the competition is next. The Mets lost two of the three 29-18, but still had a better record than the Yankees (27-19).

But their defense, some David Stearns It has been said that on Sunday night, the team can improve and seriously hurt them. Another recent Bugaboo (in scoring position with the runner) is the failure point again. The Mets ranked 25th in the RISP average in Major League Baseball, including 7-7 in three games against the Yanks.

Overall, the Mets only had three hits, not after the fourth inning. Soto booed loudly all weekend at the stadium that worshiped him a year ago, scoring 10-1 in the series, including Sunday’s 0-4, with two scores. He walked four times, beat three times, and stole two bases. Yes, there are some tough games. But there are definitely many.

To make competitive optical technology worse, the Yankees' Winter Plan B looks A-OK in this regard. The Yankees' main member was the Mets on Sunday's big pole after Soto picked the Mets in a free agent standoff in the earthquake.

The biggest explosion He threw six innings, Cody Bellinger Driving home for six runs, opening the game with a grand slam in the eighth inning. Paul Goldschmidt Added an insurance RBI single and scored twice. Devin WilliamsThe demotion close range, contributed a scoreless setting on Friday and Sunday, and was the winning pitcher for the finale.

Soto moved to Queens for a 15-year, $765 million deal, which has shocked the borough competition forever. Never had a player close to his size left the Yankees to the Mets. He immediately gave a great team a bigger and better atmosphere.

But he had to do more. He made .246 with eight home runs and 20 hits. For him, his .822 OP slowly showed how high his floor was. His first entry into the Metro Series was a disappointment to say the least.

This is a decent descriptor for the entire series of Mets. They won the middle game, which was a fun entertainment with pitching, strength and some nice defense. They lost two bookends and managed a total of eight hits in two losses.

Sunday, the first mistake Mark Among the first Yankee batsman's batsman, Goldschmidt opened up two fast runs. In the eighth time, infield, Alonso Joriby is still aliveGround symbol Jasson Dominguez Break the contact of the plate.

On Saturday, Alonso threw Dominguez on a plate with a similar plate. This time, Alonso's tossing voyage. Dominguez scored and broke the tie 2-2 before the Yankees were breathless.

To his credit, Alonso quickly spoke to the reporter and paid all responsibility for his losses.

“I just made a bad throw,” Alonso said. "I mean, the whole inning, this game, it's on me. After that game, the motivation got out of control and their bats were really good. It's mine because I had the same game (Saturday). I feel like, I feel like this is what I usually do and I can do it routinely.

"My feet sat down, I just didn't have my fingers on the top of the baseball, it sailed on me. … It was frustrating."

Metropolitan Manager Carlos Mendoza Said he feels his team has performed well this season. However, he admits that there is no drama that should be done yet.

"This is something we have to be better," Mendoza said. "We will."

They will have the opportunity to show it starting Monday in Boston. Then there was a series of games with the Dodgers at Citi Field, where the NLCS rematch was sure to catch the eye and say nothing hype.

The Yankees' next crack? Starting July 4 at Citi Field. This will be another full-charged atmosphere, another size is awesome. Soto has the opportunity to edit his current position in the competition.

Then they have to be better.
