Mets Win The Most Unnecessary 18 Inning Game Of All Time
Put it in the books. Somehow, someway, take that long ass, gruesome win and put it in the books. The Mets left 24 men on base before plating a couple in the 18th. They were 3 for 60 with runners in scoring position before that offensive EXPLOSION with the squeeze bunt. Thrilled to win this game. Thrilled to avoid the sweep and beat a team like the Cardinals. Thrilled to grab another game on the Nationals as you head to Washington.
But again watching the offensive futility of this team is INFURIATING. Realistically they need an entirely new offense but just one bat, ONE EFFECTIVE BAT, changes this team. One or two actual proven, professional hitters dont leave 24 men on base in one game. Again, love the W, but this game just highlights everything this team COULD be if they had a competent offense.
But dont worry Gary Cohen said they might make a move for Jeff Francoeur so we got that going for us.
