First "platinum sombrero" for the Mets since Ryan Thompson in 1993. (Previous offenders were Ron Swoboda [2x], Dave Kingman and…Frank Taveras?)
I'm fairly sure that with Baez on the team, we won't have to wait 28 years for the next occurence, Perhaps not even 28 DAYS.
And isn't great that with 27 (or however many) arms in the bullpen, Boy Genus Rojas handles the staff so well that he needed to get key outs in the 8th from…Yennsy Diaz? I mean, Yennsy did fine cleaning up Familia's mess. But still.
Contributing to the "fun" of the Marlins' winning rally was the Mets twice failing to get easy outs at home plate. The first time, Defensive Stud James McCann whiffed on the tag. The second time, he dropped the throw. Yay for defense!
That said, the winners on the night had to be the offense:
Marlins gift us with 8 BB, 5 errors
Mets score 2 runs, have 15 LOB
Championship form! I can smell the champagne now!
