Twitter reacts to Mets batting out of order

New York Mets

The New York Mets did something on Wednesday that you typically only see at the Little League level — they batted out of order.

In the top of the first inning, New York sent outfielder Jay Bruce to the plate as their cleanup hitter. Prior to that at-bat, Asdrubal Cabrera had reached base on a ground rule double. The problem is the lineup card the Mets submitted had Cabrera batting second and Wilmer Flores hitting third. As a result, Bruce was called out and the inning ended with Cabrera stranded on second.

If you thought the Mets had problems with their former star pitcher this season, you apparently haven’t seen anything yet.
