LOS ANGELES — The Mets’ most dynamic player, Andres Torres, has also been one of their most maddening.

Take this past weekend at Dodger Stadium. On Friday, with R. A. Dickey pitching another gem, Torres allowed a softly hit fly ball to drop in front of him for a single in the third inning. Dickey did not give up another hit until the seventh.

On Saturday, Torres made two glaring base-running gaffes. He reached on an error in the first inning but was doubled off first base on a flyout. He reached base again in the third on a fielder’s choice, but he was picked off one batter later by the Dodgers’ catcher, A. J. Ellis.

On Sunday, Torres was picked off in the first inning after being badly deceived by Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw.
