Edwin Diaz Blows Save #6, DBacks Take Game 2 | Mets Fan Recaps (08/28/2024)

hello Mets fans and welcome to game two of the series against the Diamondbacks where this was definitely a baseball game that happened picking things up bottom two Luis gor is going to kind of poke one into left field that's going to drive in the first run of the game the Diamondbacks take an early one- nothing lead bottom three now Corbin Carroll is going to line this one right back up the middle off seo's uh foot SL shin and that's going to clearly Shake him up and if you've ever taken a hard object off the shin or the top of your foot yeah that really sucks and uh he's going to opt to stay in the game ow uh definitely to his own detriment though cuz there was certainly some velocity lost on the pitches regardless Alvarez is going to throw this one right by Lindor takes a short hop on the grass and then the Mets actually opted to challenge this or an appeal at second clim that he ran back towards first base and then ran around second base and did not touch the bag again which would make it an illegal uh forward movement to third that call was overruled though uh and so it was deemed legal um and then jock Peterson just slammed his balls on the table and did that so Arizona Up 3 nothing now bottom three Josh Bell now going to almost take sevy's head off with the line drive back up the middle SE sevie just getting assaulted there we go there's a gimme from the Umpire striking out guel Jr on a pitch about 6 Ines outside and then del Castillo what the uh hits a shift beater by accident with a check swing definitely got fooled definitely did not want to actually swing and it went exactly where nobody was playing so me I guess uh sebie finally gets out of the inning though with the strike out to Suarez and now I think this is I think this was somebody on the Mets crew I don't know to be honest they were calling him Steve either way shout out Steve that looks so relaxing out there uh a ball did almost hit him though I'm not sure I missed the context on that one um just thought that was funny speaking of balls flying out over the fence there's Corbin Carroll scrawny hitting another tank basically the same place he hit one yesterday way out to right center field so Arizona up four nothing now but the Mets have some offense waiting to come out here in the top of the fifth runner on first Pete Alonzo ground ball will advance the runner that will be one out runner on second JD Martinez now ropes one deep right center field that's going to be off the top of the fence picked up up by the center fielder thrown back in that is going to score Brandon nmo and that will be an RBI double for JD Martinez getting the Mets on the board they hadn't even gotten a hit up to this point nmo was their first base runner a glacius now flies that out to Right Center that'll move JD Martinez over so now we have a runner on third with two outs Here Comes Alvarez boom right back up the middle no one's getting that one that'll bring in JD and now they've cut the lead to two Harrison Bader up now one- one count he's going to catch a hanging cutter right over the middle of the plate and he's going to say you he he that baseball he told that baseball to suck his dick and balls and he crushed it so that's a tie game Lindor now fifth inning not done yet lines this one out to Corbin Carroll in right field he cannot get it gets a glove on it but it pops out seems like the rally is going to keep going Mets are looking to get more runs on the board here's Vientos and he's going to strike out inning had to end at some point so the Mets at least are able to tie it a big 4run fifth inning bottom five now sevie still in he's still cooking great change up on Josh Bell that's all I got from that inning top six that's a steal for Starling Marte 14 out of 14 on the season and now we're going to get a call from the bullpen call to the bullpen I should say and the uh Diamondbacks are going to bring in Zach GLE who promptly on the very first pitch is going to give up a sacrifice fly albeit a very exciting sacrifice fly to Pete Alonzo Marte going for it when he maybe should not have guriel Jr making a great throw very upset that he does not get the call and uh it was not his call to get because the tag was not made Marte went with the head first slide on the right side hit him with the little swim move delay on the left hand and uh Castillo just froze he did the show animation tag and just put the glove down instead of actually throwing it at Marte so the Mets will take the lead bottom six now here's Danny Young been uh pretty serviceable for the Mets especially when he's followed up by denil Nunes so he comes in for the one out to end the bottom of the sixth and he gets it here he is now bottom seven got jock Peterson in a 3-2 count a two two count actually and jock showed bunt very confusing and then he shows bunt again almost like we're playing some 12-year-old Diamond Dynasty sweat very strange he got the walk out of it though so now here's Josh Bell just kidding jock Peterson's trying to steal and he gets picked off and thrown out at second base really baffling decision making by jock there I'm not I mean who knows if he was told to steal whatever and there goes Josh Bell with the strikeout so inning over Mets retain their lead and now we jump ahead to bottom eight because the Mets have not been able to do anything else on offense Phil maton starts off the inning with a walk then Strikes Out del Castillo on a very nice curve ball to get out number one and now he's going to get Suarez to fly out warning track power over to right field so that'll be a quick two outs on 11 pitches and this is where Carlos Mendoza goes full Mendoza mode he's bringing out Edwin Diaz for the four out save for some reason guess what four pitch walk first and second Mendoza clenching here's Pomo Full Count walk face is loaded to bring up Corbin Carol don't do it Edwin don't do it [Music] he did it he did it he did it that's a Corbin Carol Grand Slam and after all that the Diamondbacks win 8 to5 my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined please win tomorrow bye
