Seriously though, big respect. Huge underdog, needing to better 11 home runs by the hometown hero in the final, hitting 6 straight clutch homers to pull it off with 40,000 phans booing him and cheering every miss. Ice in his veins.
Gotta give props to Schneider for IBBing Soto to bring Bichette to the plate. It was the right call but he would've been absolutely crucified if Bichette tied the game or gave the Mets the lead. About time the team had something work out in their favour and it wound up being a big turning point in the game.
Finding ways to lose, this team has no magic this year. Feeling hung over from almost wining the WS seems to be doing a number on everyone. This season seems lost at this point but hopefully a fresh start in 2027 is in the cards.
I get that he's trying to protect Hoffman but I question him throwing the team's best hitter under the bus publicly. Agreed he could've found a more diplomatic way to say that.
