They didn\u2019t deliver in some key at-bats. \u2026 But we are very pleased with the other work they\u2019ve done for us. I think they\u2019ve helped us a lot to be in a good position for the most part this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/1234641434-e1629072976471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"James McCann\" class=\"wp-image-19140186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/1234641434-e1629072976471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/1234641434-e1629072976471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/1234641434-e1629072976471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/1234641434-e1629072976471.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>James McCann<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mets\u2019 pitching staff \u2014 one of the biggest reasons the club spent much of the season atop the NL East \u2014 has lauded McCann and Nido\u2019s work this season. Nido entered Sunday ninth in defensive runs saved (five) while McCann was 35th (minus-one) among catchers who have caught at least 300 innings this season.<\/p>\n<p>But McCann had a costly error Friday night on an errant throw back to reliever Drew Smith. It allowed Cody Bellinger to take third and eventually score on a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers\u2019 fourth run in a game that went to extra innings tied 4-4. Later that night, Nido flew out with the tying run at second base in the 10th inning to finish a 6-5 loss.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, in a 1-1 game in the seventh inning, Nido came up with no outs and runners on first and second and failed to get down a bunt. McCann later pinch hit for him in the 10th inning and struck out in a 2-1 loss.<\/p>\n<p>McCann was back behind the plate Sunday, but was just 4-for-33 (.121) in his last 10 games. Nido was in the midst of a 5-for-35 (.143) skid over his last 14 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth guys have been great for us the whole season \u2014 I\u2019m talking more so on the defensive end,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cBut they\u2019ve been clutch at times too. They\u2019ve won us games. \u2026 But I think what they\u2019ve brought to us the most is handling the pitching, controlling the running game, they\u2019ve both been outstanding.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
