Brodie Van Wagenen was burned by a hot mic. Rob Manfred may be in even hotter water. As the Mets and Marlins deliberated whether to play Thursday night’s scheduled game at Citi Field — following the postponement of five MLB games — the Mets general manager was captured on video bashing Manfred’s leadership, while stating …

The Mets took the field on Thursday night, and then left it. After a day of questions surrounding if they would indeed play, the Mets took the field with the Marlins, took off their hats for 42 seconds of silence, laid a Black Lives Matter shirt at home plate, and then promptly left the field. …

Dom Smith kneeled before Wednesday night’s game and wept afterward. He took a knee in solidarity and symbolism. And he cried in pain and fury. How are we still here?
