One COVID-19 outbreak in any camp could put the season in jeopardy. Within the confines of the NL East, the Braves have already been enormously hit, with Freddie Freeman\u2019s coronavirus symptoms and Nick Markakis\u2019 subsequent decision to opt out from the season.<\/p>\n<p>In Queens, there is at least the illusion of stability. Robinson Cano and Brad Brach remain absent from camp for reasons unexplained, but Mets brass has stayed consistent in providing a bright outlook for what could be a baseball season.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the lack of skepticism is a unified message the Mets wish to convey, either at the organizational or clubhouse level. Or it could be the Mets really believe this experiment has a chance to succeed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15973926\"><img alt=\"Mets manager Luis Rojas\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Mets manager Luis Rojas<\/span><span>Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt definitely has gone a lot better than what I projected,\u201d manager Luis Rojas said Sunday. \u201cI shared at the beginning that we had a lot of challenges, and I was really looking forward to seeing how the guys were going to adopt that. They have done a tremendous job, so it\u2019s going a lot better as far the guys adopting that routine, getting through the whole process of screening coming in and then getting on the field, in both dugouts, and also keeping the distancing and maintaining that health protocol throughout the day and have fun like they are having in games. I am really pleased with how it\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The relative lack of drama has allowed the Mets to focus on their on-field developments, starting with Yoenis Cespedes\u2019 recovery and the expectation he will ready for opening day. Jeff McNeil\u2019s power display, Steven Matz\u2019s curveball, Dellin Betances\u2019 improved velocity and even Jed Lowrie sightings have created buzz.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Submit your Mets questions here to be answered in an upcoming Post mailbag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Which is to say baseball has been the biggest story at Citi Field over these first 10 days of workouts. Can the Mets get through the next 10, which are scheduled to include exhibition games against the Yankees on Saturday and Sunday?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI truly believe that here with the Mets they are doing their best and it truly feels like a safe environment,\u201d Marcus Stroman said. \u201cI feel safe here. I feel fine, but I truly believe this is a situation where you can\u2019t think three days down the road. You can\u2019t think a week from now. You truly have to be in the moment and take it day by day because there\u2019s so many different factors that come up each day and you just have to process it like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A start to the regular season would bring further challenges, from team flights to hotels and locales to which players might disperse after games. The lack of a bubble setting, such as the NBA has implemented, means increased anxiety about an outbreak that would put the sport in peril. Then there are the increasing coronavirus cases in spots such as Florida, California, Texas and Arizona that threaten the possibility of those states welcoming professional sports, even in empty ballparks.<\/p>\n<p>Such a big-picture view is daunting, but also very much beyond the players\u2019 control. The Mets, like other teams, will continue concentrating on a list of safety protocols that just might improve their chances of a season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can speak for what we\u2019re doing here and it\u2019s off the charts the in-depth, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> distancing and how cautious we are with what we\u2019re doing here,\u201d Jake Marisnick said. \u201cIf every team is going about it the same way we are, I have pretty high confidence this season is going to complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mets are halfway to the regular season. It\u2019s a small victory to celebrate, just not in a group.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/07\/12\/lack-of-drama-gives-mets-reason-to-believe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Lack of drama gives Mets reason to \u2018believe\u2019&#8221; July 12, 2020 | 8:44pm The hurdles to a season remain significant, but it\u2019s OK to recognize small victories while stressing the need to stay vigilant.
