Weren’t the Mets a Team Built on Speed and Defense?

What direction is Jerry taking with this club? In spring training he said that this was a team built on speed and defense. The defense has been great up until tonight when they gave up 4 errors that led to 4 unearned runs. However, the speed element has really bothered me. I have to start with the catalyst, Jose Reyes. Tonight he stole just his 2nd base in 29 games. Speed is not supposed to slump Jose—you’re fast, RUN! Also, correct me if I am wrong, but to my memory the Mets have not stolen 3rd once this entire year. Speed teams are supposed to be aggressive, right? I think this is Jerry and Chip Hale’s and it needs to change.
