‘Smells Like Rat Urine’- New York Mets Complain About Poor Condition of Dodger Stadium Amidst Ongoing Series

The ongoing series between the LA Dodgers and New York Mets are going to be one of the best series of the season. Because both teams have identical records in the National League. Though the Dodgers have won the first game, the Mets will give everything to tie the series on Friday.

Recently, ahead of the crucial second game against the Dodgers, the Mets have reportedly complained about the poor condition of the Dodger Stadium. One Mets player even said that Dodger Stadium is far below MLB standards. Not to forget that the Mets play in a brand new Citi Field Stadium.

Considering the Mets and Dodgers have been equally good in the National League, this series might end the debate about the best team in the National League. 

New York Mets felt unpleasant smells in Dodger Stadium

With Francisco Lindor back in the squad, the Mets will try to level the four-game series against the Dodgers. After losing the first game, the Mets have already started playing the war of words against the Dave Roberts-led team.

Per Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Buck Showalter-led team has complained about the working conditions at the Dodger Stadium, especially the video room. Because it smells like rat urine.

Taking to the microblogging site, Puma shared the same. “Mets aren’t thrilled with the working conditions at Dodger Stadium. According to one Met, the video room is dingy and smells like rat urine. Says it’s far below MLB standards,” Mike Puma tweeted.

LA Dodgers Vs the Mets

On paper, the New York Mets are nowhere close to the LA Dodgers. Leave the pitchers. The Dodgers have an insane batting lineup of Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Trea Turner at the top. They can take on any pitcher on any given day.

However, the New York Mets are a way different from the Dodgers. They are not dependent on certain players. Even after missing out on a few key players, the Buck Showalter-led team has done exceptionally well in the National League.

Given there are still three games to play in the series, which team do you think will win the series?
