Mets | Lucas Duda pulled from game for lack of hustle

New York Mets OF Lucas Duda was pulled from the game against the Miami Marlins Friday, Sept. 21, for not hustling after hitting a blooper into shallow left field during the bottom of the first inning. "I know he didn't do it on purpose," manager Terry Collins said. "But as I told him when he came off the field, we've made a statement here. We're not going to play the game like that, especially right now. Had we won 10 of the last 12 or 15 of the last 20, you can kind of turn your head. But I couldn't turn my head tonight."
