Mets can’t let familiar headache doom them now
ATLANTA — The Mets’ Achilles heel is their defense and their inability to stop the stolen base.
The Braves athleticism will test the Mets over this three-game series that began Tuesday night at SunTrust Park.
Against the three first-place teams and all the-wild card contenders not named the Nationals, the Mets entered Tuesday with a 15-32 record. But that was against those other Mets — not these Mets who have shown a togetherness that is off the charts during their comeback streak when they had won 15 of the last 17 games and have won six straight series.
