Everyone knows. There is no secret when Terrance Gore emerges from a dugout.
Pete Alonso was hit in the first inning Sunday by Pirates starter Johan Oviedo, who had hit Alonso while a Cardinal last year. It didn’t seem intentional. Most of the 102 hit by pitches the Mets have absorbed this year don’t. But the individual history for Alonso and the collective target practice of these Mets led to Alonso barking at Oviedo and the benches and pens emptying to mill around without punches.
Before this game was over, Pirate pitchers had walked six more, the team committed four errors and Pittsburgh hitters struck out 20 times. Yet, to secure their first four-game sweep since Sept. 9-12, 2019 versus the Diamondbacks, the Mets needed a change of pace. Which is exactly what they were thinking when they signed Gore in June. At that point, Gore was not even playing organized ball. He was home in Panama City, Fla., with his family; continuing to work with his agility coach in anticipation that the phone would ring. A contender is always looking for the edge that world-class speed offers. Again, this is a unique career.
Gore said, “Oh yeah, for sure,” when asked if he is trying with one speedy step in front of another to force his way onto the postseason roster. “That’s why I go out there each and every day. I try to change the game. Once I get on. I mean the sky’s the limit.”
