IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

[The Hot Corner]

McNeil ranges back to medium right field to make the catch and end the inning. Marte must have been playing on the warning track.

[The Hot Corner]

That shift against Lindor is so extreme. Just drop a bunt and take the gift base. A decent bunter (I know, I know, almost nonexistent in today's game) could hit .800 against thaat defensive alignment.

[Edgy MD]

Dom in for defense after Pete makes the last out.

[Edgy MD]

Uh-oh. Walker pulls it within one, homering on a pitch in on the hands that shouldn't be homered on.

[The Hot Corner]

Good pitch by May, even better hitting by walker. 5-4 Mets through 8.

[Edgy MD]

If you're still awake, strap in.

[Edgy MD]

Ahfuckahfuckahfuck

[The Hot Corner]

Barely awake. I should have gone to bed.

[Edgy MD]

An unusual slider from Diaz that had no action. Total hanger.

[Edgy MD]

Keep in mind that our Pete Alonso, our soft RBI specialist, is out of the game.

[Edgy MD]

Crappo. Infield out and everything goes wrong.

[Edgy MD]

SAFE! SAFE! SAFE! SAFE! SAFE!

[Edgy MD]

Excellent. Really close, but he was safe.

[Gwreck]

Gary praising the replay coordinator, and sure, I agree.



But there was approximately a 0% chance that they wouldn't challenge that play…

[The Hot Corner]

Marte hustles and beats out the grounder to third to get the go ahead run. Speed kills.

[The Hot Corner]

Lugo trying to save it in the bottom of the 10th.

[Edgy MD]

OK, down to the last out for a second time.

[Edgy MD]

Ah, fartschool. Winning run on first and Walker back at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

METS WIN!!!



Key to the game: Jeff McNeil playing outstanding outfield from second base.

[The Hot Corner]

Yay, Mets win!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fun game and post-game fireworks. Lucky on that replay, sucks to be a dback fan but the Mets fans were louder and prouder. McNeil played great. Why did Zimmo disappear? I feel like that messed up Diaz.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo appeared to have had a glove issue.



I don't know if that messed up Diaz, but it sure seemed like exactly the sort of thing that could take him off his game. Christian Walker's homer off of May was on a really good pitch, but the homer Diaz gave up to Varsho was on the hangingest slider I've ever seen him leave hanging.

[Willets Point]

Wow! It was 5-2 in the 8th when I last checked before bed. Glad that the Mets still won.

Maybe.



Second potentially game-flipping replay inside of a week that went the Mets way where I would have blown a gasket (and you guys would have been forced to "hear" me vent) had that flip gone against us.

[Gwreck]

I don't understand. You disagreed with the replay decision? My view was that it was clear he was safe and the call was appropriately overturned.



There have been some occasionally baffling replay decisions on tag plays or even some home run calls, but getting the first base force call right on replay is not difficult.

[Frayed Knot]

I was asleep by the time that happened so what I saw was via highlights and only once ... but in that viewing it didn't look like close to enough evidence to overturn.

And, remember, it's supposed to be definitive evidence not the 51% standard that seems to be used far too often.

My point is that I would have bitched about losing a game based on such scanty 'proof' and I suspect most of us here would have done the same had the shoe been

on the other foot, especially for the second time in a week.

[nymr83]

A seemingly overlooked piece of the replay puzzle here is that a tie goes to the runner, and as they replayed that thimg over and over from different angles there was never one that made it look like the ball in the glove beat the foot to the bag. If they got there at the same time, the tie goes to the runner and overuling the call ia correct.

[Frayed Knot]

There is no rule which states a tie goes to the runner ... despite what most of us learned and used in the schoolyard.

And the original call was 'Out', so what the replay has to show is that there is definitive evidence that it should have

been the other way around not that you think it kinda sorta was probably the case.
