The downtime is less than ideal, but Mets Manager Terry Collins isn't making a big deal out of it.
"Nothing you can do about it," he said.
Collins said if the players do their work and focus, they'll be fine.
"No matter how hard you try, pipe in loud noise, try to have a simulated games," Collins said it doesn't matter.
This is where leadership comes in, like from team veteran Michael Cuddyer.
"Here's a guy, we paid a lot of money to come here to be an every day player and right now he's not and all he cares about is winning," Collins said.
Game 1 in the World Series will take place Tuesday in Missouri against the Kansas City Royals.
