How Big Apple sees Giants-Mets
NYC’s take
New York’s variety of media outlets offer plenty of content ahead of the Mets-Giants N.L. wild-card game Wednesday. New York Post’s Joel Sherman called Giants pitcher Madison
Bumgarner “arguably the most successful visiting pitcher in Citi Field history” and the Mets’ key to victory is getting to the bullpen.
The New York Times staff seemed to think Noah
Syndergaard can match up well against MadBum (shown) and Times columnist Michael Powell picked the Mets — following his heart, he said. Yankees third baseman Chase Headley was asked by the Post about how the Mets can beat Bumgarner: “Just hit his mistakes.” Instead of focusing on pitching, the New York Daily News zeroed in on a slugger familiar to Bay Area fans:
Yoenis Cespedes. He “won’t rest, or celebrate, until Mets reach NLDS” the Daily News wrote.
