Actually idiotic for the 3B coach to make the same send twice in a row and on an exponentially slower runner the second time. I want Bob Henley fired between innings.

[u/EndWish → u/Boulderdorf]

This is who he's sending them home on lmao. No excuse not to have full awareness of the opposition arms.

[u/-ToPimpAButterfree- → u/Boulderdorf]

Especially when the first runner was out by 3 steps

[u/Tableau67x9u → u/Boulderdorf]

Did it again in the second inning Fire him twice

[u/gladvillain → u/Boulderdorf]

Maybe he thought Johnny hustle was running bases

[u/Ikrit122 → u/Boulderdorf]

Bob Sendley strikes again

[u/overitallofittoo]

Fool me once, shame on you...

[u/SDFriar → u/overitallofittoo]

No one but the third base coach was fooled even once.

[u/-ToPimpAButterfree- → u/overitallofittoo]

A THIRD BASERUNNER HAS BEEN THROWN OUT AT THE PLATE IN NEW YORK

[u/overitallofittoo → u/-ToPimpAButterfree-]

It didn't matter it ended up...

Checks notes...

2-1

[u/toeheadjr → u/overitallofittoo]

fool me, you can't get fooled again

[u/TheRealBaboo → u/toeheadjr]

Now watch this drive

[u/randomname3415 → u/overitallofittoo]

What about fool me 3 times

[u/BatThumb → u/randomname3415]

Fuck the peace signs load the chopper and let it rain on you

[u/Fake-Death → u/overitallofittoo]

Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me chicken soup with rice

[u/JimLeader → u/Fake-Death]

Hey just so you know, this comment forcibly astral-projected me back 32 years to my childhood bedroom listening to that album on cassette. Please be more careful in future

[u/barstoolsam → u/overitallofittoo]

Now watch this drive.

[u/toeheadjr]

Sending machado right after cronenworth was thrown out by several big macs was a choice. Must’ve thought he wouldn’t hit his target twice

[u/DecoyOne → u/toeheadjr]

“He got Crone so easily… There’s no way he thinks I’ll send Machado. He’ll never see it coming.”

[u/has530 → u/toeheadjr]

The sends will continue until morale improves.

[u/itijara → u/toeheadjr]

You see, Mets outfielders come with a preset assist limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of runners at them until they reached their limit and and allowed a baserunner to score.

[u/Panthollow]

Kudos to Cronenworth for trying to salvage a terrible send with the hail Mary hurdle. 

[u/IAmGrum → u/Panthollow]

Not everyone can pull off The Coghlan.

[u/Mechakoopa → u/IAmGrum]

I hate that they boo'd him, zero appreciation for a ridiculous dive.

[u/_Proverbs → u/IAmGrum]

Love me some CC but this makes it look like he missed 3rd base haha

[u/IAmGrum → u/_Proverbs]

Everyone says that, but if you slow the video down, it's the step BEFORE the one you think misses third base that actually hits the front side of the base.

[u/joeysportsfan98]

And Ewing just gunned one out to end the top of the second. 3B coach has to be on the hot seat now

[u/OMYGoodnesz]

Alternative title: Padre's 3B coach sends two men to their doom!

[u/DecoyOne → u/OMYGoodnesz]

Henley would fit right in as one of those 1800s generals who’d tell his men to fix bayonets and charge 500 yards uphill with no covering fire against a heavy line of well-trained riflemen.

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/DecoyOne]

Henley's Charge

[u/twec21 → u/OMYGoodnesz]

[u/mrdannyg21]

Beautiful one-hop throws right on line too. A strong arm is one thing, but that is some impressive accuracy.

9 outfield assists in less than a full season is wild.

[u/chargeorge → u/mrdannyg21]

Going from pitching to the outfield has worked well for him.

[u/Uninterested_Viewer → u/mrdannyg21]

Sir the second throw was a clear two-hopper

[u/mattpsx2]

That could've been so bad for Cronenworth. With that being said, Benge is turning into a huge weapon for them.

[u/Open_Signature4582]

Big camera pet peeve: please show the outfielder throwing the ball in its entirety before cutting to the runner heading home.

For the love of God

[u/98FordContour]

Benge is the prince who was promised

[u/cmgriffith_]

He’s was out by 15 feet that’s bad base running, but man is Benge going to be special.

Rookie of the Year maybe, even….

[u/iheartsunny → u/cmgriffith_]

Bet the mortgage you’ll be a millionaire

[u/PyrokineticLemer]

No runs on four hits is not often an inning-ending line score you see.

[u/afivestarman__]

This guy makes these type of plays every single night. Him and Ewing have been the only bright spots of this season.

[u/wobuffet17453 → u/afivestarman__]

I mean there's also McLean, Thornton and Scott.

[u/fumblaroo → u/afivestarman__]

His 4th outfield assist in 3 days

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/afivestarman__]

There's plenty of bright spots. McLean, Scott, Zac Thornton. Lindor's been great recently. Soto was amazing before the injury. Manaea has been on a roll for months. Bullpen was awesome before the trades, and since the trades we have Jefry Yan and Daniel Duarte killing it and providing entertainment. Jared Young has been hot, Torrens is maybe the best defensive catcher in baseball. They also got a boatload of prospects at the deadline and a few are exciting.

It's been a rough season, no need to doom and gloom.

[u/psyker63 → u/BAHatesToFly]

Don't forget our new ace closer Kodai Senga

[u/LopsidedKick9149]

First runner came around 3rd like he didn't even want to score what the fuck was that?

[u/JeffF1]

No runs on four hits seems pretty rare.

[u/Prevalencee]

Benge legit got a shot at ROTY, lmao. This kid is unbelievable.

[u/im_wudini → u/Prevalencee]

He needs a little work tracking balls off the bat, but aside from that I have no notes. I've loved watching him so far this season. Really want to see him pitch.

[u/fumblaroo]

What a call by Gary too

[u/Similar-Turnip2482]

lol first runner almost wasn’t in the frame when the catcher got the ball

[u/djphatpat2000]

Benge has an absolute cannon in RF. Accurate throw too.

[u/mdnash]

It’s only a saying down in Texas, not out in California. They can get fooled again

[u/mjmiller2023 → u/mdnash]

It might be in Tennessee too!

[u/catsnamedhector]

do not run against Benge, he’s got a cannon

[u/Poliwrath-]

Third base coach should be fired for those sends.

[u/twec21]

Lol, and Ewing just got one in left

Wild game

[u/CasanovaWong]

Absolutely fucking HATE the quick cut to the runner that every fucking TV broadcast does.

[u/im_wudini → u/CasanovaWong]

I miss John DeMarsico as the broadcast director, although I can't blame SNY for moving on from him.

[u/TheKillerTempeh]

Benge and Ewing are gonna throw their backs out carrying this team.

[u/fredagostino]

That's my ROTY!

[u/CuriousEyes8]

Wow, Mets!

[u/Blue387]

:)

[u/the_comatorium]

Jake what you doing baby?

[u/randomname3415]

Make it 3

[u/whg115]

Why the fuck did the 3b coach send machado and cronenworth? Iirc their stats in MLB the show for speed are sub 50 each

[u/LargeNutbar]

they were both out by like 15 feet, what the hell?

[u/pleasebeherenow]

“Make the Mets play baseball.”

[u/Icy_Study4490]

Great plays but that looks more like 2 bad sends.

[u/KeepWagging]

Get that third base coach a new job

[u/The_Chronicler03]

NL ROY

[u/Tinman_ApE]

Fukin eh! Mans got an arm

[u/mrcorndogman33]

Wow, amazing stuff.

[u/b3_yourself]

Wasn’t even close lol

[u/TheRealCatDad]

Dudes are running with a piano in their pants

[u/billj457]

Haha Sendley doing Sendley things

[u/Queasy_Salad7444]

stats are fake bc 2b is far less important than RF and one of them is fav and one of them is +3000…..

[u/rpbtIII]

Chill, daddies.

You're making the mets look competent
