2 on 2 out. I'd hook him.

You were the one who insinuated the ump got in their heads and was the reason for the poor at bats. That is the adjustment, mentally, not physically. I agree the ump sucks but that doesn’t mean the Mets had terrible at bats. Why didn’t the ump affect their at bats in the 8th if that was the reason they hadn’t done anything to that point, he was still behind the plate. Now obviously Wheeler not pitching had a whole lot to do with that but the ump was still the ump.
I was enjoying the debate....and also Schwarber giving the ump a glance after he called strike three on the exact pitch he called a ball two pitches ago.At the end of the day, this says it all!!
Maybe if they just win start to finish we won’t have to read a dozen negative posts from Logen every game?
brilliant work. Kept the game close. Got through wheeler. Torched their bullpen. Textbook
At worst we’re going back to citi 1-1 series. Feels very good

Well we weren’t alone. The Umpire had a tough day to be polite.

Mets-Phillies umpires eviscerated for controversial challenge call, strike zone: ‘Horrendous’
It was the ump show early in Game 1 of the NLDS between the Mets and Phillies.

One thing I was not aware of was that it was apparently very, very tough to pick up the pitches because of the shadows in the stadium. Vientos and Nimmo commented on it in their post game interview. I don’t know if that was discussed during the broadcast because I don’t listen to announcers while watching sports, except for very occasionally the Met announcers. Anyway, it certainly could account to some degree for the inordinate amount of bad pitches swung at and the erratic, to say the least, ball and strike calls. Expect the same tomorrow if it is a sunny day in Philly.
