In the wake of the loss, Baty addressed the media, candidly acknowledging his error. “It was just a very, very dumb mistake. It can’t happen in that situation. It was a terrible play,” he admitted, displaying a willingness to own up to his blunder.

The error significantly contributed to the Dodgers‘ triumph, leaving Mets fans understandably frustrated, given the team’s strong performance until that point. The loss also had broader implications, as the Mets were aiming to bolster their record in a tightly contested regular season.

“It’s brutal, for sure,” Baty lamented to the press. “We were up going into the 8th, and then that play right there tied it up.

Alonso applauds Soto’s passion and dedication

Mets first baseman was effusive in his praise for fellow slugger Juan Soto’s tenacious work ethic and unwavering dedication to his craft, prior to Dodgers last game of the series. “He’s a 26-year-old kid, but he’s committed to his routine and his process. At the end of the day, the kid eats, sleeps, and breathes baseball,” Alonso remarked.

“He’s incredibly devoted to the game, and to perfecting his skills. Some people regard him as a seasoned veteran, but he’s really just in his mid-20s. This season marks his seventh full year in the league, eighth overall, and his accomplishments speak for themselves. That’s why you see such great results on the field.”
