PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. _ On the wrong end of two noteworthy defensive plays _ in the first inning alone _ Tim Tebow said Sunday he has gotten better at dealing with the seemingly random, game-of-inches aspects of baseball.
"It's part of the mental toughness," said Tebow, who is 0-for-4 with two lineouts in two games.
In the top of the first of the Mets' exhibition against the Astros, Tebow chased a fly ball into foul territory in left field. He dove into the Mets' bullpen area and initially appeared to catch it, but it was ruled a drop.
