2021 Mets Thread

Ok. I’ll say this. I’ve never seen a scenario where a player did it with the bases loaded in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th or extra innings. Conforto knew full well what he was doing. Dietrich did it in non competitive Marlins games they were probably losing by 7 runs to pump his stats because he can’t hit. I’m not morally outraged or anything but it was the wrong call, the Mets broadcast nailed it, the umpire admitted he fucked up the call, so that’s why I don’t get what other angle there really is to talk about here.

IMO the Mets should be allowed to cheat a little, as a treat

[CatoTheElder]

He cheated. It worked. Oh well.

i was going to say in my previous post i don't think we're really arguing anything, i'm in agreement with all of this here. i think my posts were more directed at sentiments that conforto should be targeted for doing what he did. he literally did something many other players try all the time and is something that unfortunately many get away with, and the game needs to work on enforcing the rules in that situation better and actually allowing it be reviewable/changeable call.

he's not going out of his way to sneakily do something behind everybody's back to ruin the game. he didnt 'pull a fast one', he did something in front of us that everybody saw to try and win a game. we all saw it, it should have been overturned, and we have to fix the reasons why it wasn't overturned, and the umps not being able to overturn/overrule that call is dumb.

uhh, that's not a conforto thing. a lot of players in the mlb try to eliminate the strike zone and may try to game 'averting HBPs' to try to get on base. they even had the replay to get the call right. that's an umpiring issue and a rule issue

It's an umpiring issue and a rule issue agreed.

It's also a situation where this can be eliminated really easily by players policing themselves.

Anyway, on another topic, who got less support out of a relationship, Demetrius Bell and his mailman absentee deadbeat father, or De Grom and the Mets offense.

Real talk, does the rest of the Mets roster freaking hate degrom or something?

There's no other explanation.

I def don’t agree with throwing at Conforto for that. Wouldn’t have been surprised if it had happened though

I actually give him a sliver of credit here for being honest and self aware enough to admit how lost he’s been at the plate. He wasn’t putting that ball in play, he saw an opportunity and he took it.

If I’m a Mets fan all I care about is the W. They were prob gonna win that game eventually anyways

For the record, I despise the Yankees fans that do this

deGrom is going to have the quickest Hall of Fame speech of all time.  He has nobody to thank.
