Nothing says watching Major League Baseball in 2020 quite like watching Monday's New York Mets-Atlanta Braves game in Atlanta, hearing a loud clap of thunder, and having Mets announcer Gary Cohen explain that the thunder was actually from Citi Field in Queens, where he, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez were broadcasting the game.
The Mets have had their usual measure of stormy weather already, including a couple bullpen meltdowns and the sudden departure of Yoenis Cespedes on Sunday as he opted out of playing the remainder of the season. They entered Monday's game with a five-game losing streak and the division rival Braves looking to sweep the four-game series and gain a five-game lead less than two weeks into the 60-game schedule.
