IGT 9/16 Tied with Braves Mets vs Nationals 7:10 Manaea MLBN

[Edgy MD]

A win without Lindor! It's possible!!

[Centerfield]

The Mets are burning their last infielder!!

If we don't get the win here, we might get Alonso at third or something.

Right? What would have been the plan? Bader at 2B?

[Gwreck]

Do we have more infielders if this goes to the 11th?

Harrison Bader was thisclose to making his 3B debut.

[Cowtipper]

Phillies are losing, too!

[Edgy MD]

I'm not listening to the post-game. Has anybody asked Mendoza what his plan was?

[G-Fafif]

Torrens has played a handful of games at 2B and 3B. PR for Vientos clearly the right call.

[G-Fafif]

Mets clinch their 28th winning record in the past 56 seasons.

Mendy confirms Torrens would have played second.

Mendy confirms Torrens would have played second.

COOL!!

Do we have more infielders if this goes to the 11th?

Harrison Bader was thisclose to making his 3B debut.

With Torrens going to 2nd I'm guessing Bader would have gone in for Marte since he would have been a recent out.
And that's the entire bench!

[Edgy MD]

Mendy confirms Torrens would have played second.

COOL!!

Luis has two MLB appearances totaling 11 innings at second, both in 2022 with the Mariners.

So, you see, everything was under control after all.

[Cowtipper]

Braves officially lose.

[Gwreck]

Torrens has played a handful of games at 2B and 3B. PR for Vientos clearly the right call.

If needed, Mendoza also could have done the Terry Collins-style infield flip between Torrens and Iglesias depending on the handedness of the batter.

[Fman99]

Quality win. They are hard to watch when so many of them are scuffling at the plate, but the pitching has been stellar in recent days.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

Mendy confirms Torrens would have played second.

I like the nickname "Mendy." It suggests that he's chronically mendacious, which totally hasn't been my experience, but that's a fun caricature of a manager to work with, coming out after the game and lying to the media about everything.

Torrens wouldn't have been the heaviest second baseman I've seen.
After the two NY teams moved West, when they visited Philadelphia, some games were telecast back to New York.
For a few games that year, Pancho Herrera (6'3" 220+ pounds) played second for Philly.
In one game I saw against LA, somebody missed a hit and run pitch and Frank Howard (6'7" 250+pounds) was "stealing" second.
They collided at second base and I think the resulting force weakened Connie Mack Stadium so much that the had to replace it with the Vet. (well, maybe an exaggeration, but not by much)
I was something to behold.
