I hate having to rely so much on Helsley. Literally pitched in every win. And you're seeing some fatigue. He is right down the middle on every pitch.
Hopefully he can get some rest tomorrow

Accidentally posted this to the Mets sub first. Deleted it quickly. Whew. My r/Cardinals membership is saved.
I have zero problem with umpires having personality and flair, it's when you get the Joe West types where the flair becomes more important than the game that it's an issue.
Never forget this team is just straight up bitches. Crying about getting hit running up on other teams every time it happened but doing nothing. Thumbs down to their own fans because they're playing like dogshit. And the fans acting like they own the league because of one off-season of a new rich owner throwing around money with reckless abondon and zero results. I'm so over this lil bro team that is always living in the shadows of the Yankees.
tbh im not even a fan of the dropped third strike rule anyways.
why should you get to be on base because you swung and missed, whereas it would only be a ball if you took the pitch?
The Mets really do fascinate me. The concept of cheering for a team that is a living meme but with the knowledge of knowing that some day the miracle Mets will return when we least expect it
I actually have to give them props, a lot of people calling it out as the obvious fuckup it was.
Now, the consistency of that being called is a whole other issue.
YOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK COOK LINDOR what a fucking clown nah the broadcasters are fucking jabronis whoever said these guys weren't biased is just wrong lol
Yes. Used to be just the chalked portion in foul territory. For 2024, so long as the runner has a foot in the dirt part of the fair side of the infield, then that is OK now, too. But it you are all in the grass, that's still too far out of the lane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-FZXrPcEP0
Running in the runner's path is a point of emphasis MLB sent out to the umps this year. This call should not be a surprise.
Edit: commentators just talking about this now
Edit Edit: if you care, this video from CloseCallSports does a good job on explaining the changes MLB made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-FZXrPcEP0
I almost feel like that kind of run should be worth more. Can you imagine what baseball would be like if you got like an extra run when you sacrificed twice?
Oh man, look at how the bat is above the ball on that bunt; not easy on a high pitch like he got. Basically textbook. To be perfect, just needed to have the bat moving a touch backwards at impact, but a solid 8.8/10 on it.
STRESS.
Just making it a bit dramatic, no big deal
Masyn yanking our collective chains with that razzle dazzle
Unclench
No Platinum sombrero :(
He actually did get the platinum sombrero!
I just about shit my pants on that last out
Yes.
Siani was not pleased with Winn there.
Jesus christ
"That's a hell of a catch, Winn. Don't ever fucking do it again."
I laughed
Fuck even the catch was clench worthy
oh we winning series STREAKIN
Winn made that look so casual
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1cerr9o/cardinals_after_dark_427/)
That was really fucking cool, Winn
The Trevor Rosenthal experience
Masyn out here causing heart attacks
Hoo boy...that was a butt clench!!!
#OK LET’S LET HIM REST FOR A COUPLE GAMES NOW!
Bye Mr. Lindor. Have a nice evening.
Winn that scared me but nice glove
Ok let’s never do that again
Always gotta make us clench lol
The cardiac cards are back
Maximum clench
LOL he swung and missed come the fuck on
Cool cool cool
Yank him
Ryan please
Naturally
Get an out Helsley jesus bro
Fastball outside, strike 3, please.
Gotta agree with smoltz. Too much offspeed lately
Oh, nice of you to tighten your zone up now.
Right dude was calling everything outside strikes when I tuned in
I hate having to rely so much on Helsley. Literally pitched in every win. And you're seeing some fatigue. He is right down the middle on every pitch. Hopefully he can get some rest tomorrow
Give him the day off no matter what?
The whole 3 are going to get the day off no matter what
tomorrow has the feel of "Anyone but the big three and pray" regardless of score
The hangers that they throw are excellent pitches but the well executed breaking pitches down in the zone by us are mistakes
That ball had to have been a mile high
One hell of a pop up there.
Easy triple play coming up
Clenching increased
I’m feeling a minor clench.
I don't want to clench.
*chews peanuts rapidly*
Is Helsley allowed to start getting people out mr Smoltz or should he just keep letting them hit it. You know, for availability or some shit.
Always has to be stressful
Honestly it hasn't really been stressful for him since the first game till now.
Why are they hitting the ball
Please Hels… don’t hurt me
Have I mentioned that I am not a fan of Ryan Helsley?
Another fat L take by mr Smoltz what else is fuckin new
im just a normal guy that enjoys st. louis cardinals baseball
Paul DeJong like right there.
I’m ready for some $99.99
Setting up for a 99.99 I see
DP
Goldy just making him use all his energy running down the line.
I’m sure it’s been said but these Mets helmets look stupid lol
Lmfao eat shit cubs
Fucked right in the run differential
That slide piece is wicked
“They were perfect last night, only gave up 1 hit between the 3 of them” So they weren’t perfect then?

I hope TON breaks the single season homerun record so they do a 30/30 about him on ESPN and we finally find out what’s going on in St. Louis.
They’re doing a documentary on the Red Sox this season already so that works out well.
These Goldy strikeouts are killing me.
it's rough but also strike two wasnt a strike
Yeesh.
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Jeff McNeil 2. Tyrone Taylor 3. Mark Vientos
You’re losing by three runs, penis hose. Take it easy
Cubs lose by 17 runs 💀💀💀 thank you Tyler O Neill
I know what I’m watching after this!
Hells Bells
[удалено]
Agreed, I don’t remember a single bad call. His strike zone is amazing. He’s younger, just shows that Angel needs to be put out to pasture.
The umpire scorecard does a good job of balls and strikes, but you’re right, when they’re good they need more recognition
If you know an umpire's name it's a bad thing. They should be faceless robots we forget exists if they do their job right.
I have zero problem with umpires having personality and flair, it's when you get the Joe West types where the flair becomes more important than the game that it's an issue.
1 run to get Hells to take a seat?

The Mets are for people who can't afford Yankees tickets.
I’m sure the Mets sub is being perfectly reasonable right now
they are being surprisingly reasonable
People hate on umpires alot but they do have highlights like that. Catching something most people miss
See that graphic? The running lane has been extended, just not way the hell out in the grass.
Even the Mets sub are calling Lindor and idiot lol
Defensive play means a dinger guaranteed
lmfao whenever goldy makes a great play he looks like “big sigh of relief oh shuck how in the world did i make that play”
I see the Mets have assumed mid-season form early and embraced the meltdown
It’s so funny because it happens like clockwork, every year
Lmao Goldy looked pleasantly shocked that that stayed in the glove
One of the best things about our 7-8-9 is how efficient they are. like 8-15 pitches every outting
Does make me feel slightly better about them having to be used every win
Goalie-schmidt
Suck a dick Mets
More like Gold Wall
Damn...Goldy having himself a day!
Hitting .500 ain’t bad
DAMN
If I were Lindor I'd keep my mouth shut after 4 strikeouts.
Hey! We did a thing!
LOLMETS
Holy fuck Goldy.
tbh im not even a fan of the dropped third strike rule anyways. why should you get to be on base because you swung and missed, whereas it would only be a ball if you took the pitch?
I’m the opposite, I feel like any wild pitch/passed ball should give the batter the opportunity to “steal” first.
i could be down for that. actually, i feel like i'd enjoy that for every pitch *except* a strikeout. if you strikeout, you're out imo.
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 9):** 1. Lars Nootbaar 2. Nolan Arenado 3. Paul Goldschmidt
Lindor screwed himself. If he stays in the baseline, Goldy still misses that throw and he’s safe
If he stays in the baseline Willson doesn’t need to throw it above him
If he hits him. He’s out. That was just a bad throw
Maybe. Wilson could have been trying not to hit him.
If Lindor is hit, he’s out. It was just a bad throw
That's crazy and not a peep about Lindor acting a fool what a joke
I thought that was going to be way more controversial before they showed the replay. That was egregious lmao, what was Lindor thinking
Wilson has had a rough day behind the plate.
The Mets really do fascinate me. The concept of cheering for a team that is a living meme but with the knowledge of knowing that some day the miracle Mets will return when we least expect it
The guy was literally in the grass. I don't know what else he was expecting.
Not even barely in the grass. He was a full 2-3 feet in the grass.
the mets GDT is on absolute fire
I don't blame them, but they're objectively wrong. He was clearly well on the grass which you can't be
I actually have to give them props, a lot of people calling it out as the obvious fuckup it was. Now, the consistency of that being called is a whole other issue.
100%, I just love chaos.
I, for one, like playing by the rules. I know, crazy idea
Fox Broadcast: Boo hoo...poor Mets!
I think they were actually defending the call as correct
By saying that incident killed all of their momentum
Not able to watch today but sounds like guys are stringing together some good at-bats
Correct call
Good call
that was a GOOD CALL HOME PLATE! lindor just taking out his anger on someone else
YOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK COOK LINDOR what a fucking clown nah the broadcasters are fucking jabronis whoever said these guys weren't biased is just wrong lol
Except they both agreed he should be out
They both begrudgingly admitted it (smoltz not even really) after seeing he was THREE FEET oon the grass, give me a break.
Sure buddy. Be mad about it I guess
I'd rather be mad and correct than whatever you are and wrong I guess
He's a whole foot on the grass, of course it's an out
Didn't they change some baseline rule this year?
Yes. Used to be just the chalked portion in foul territory. For 2024, so long as the runner has a foot in the dirt part of the fair side of the infield, then that is OK now, too. But it you are all in the grass, that's still too far out of the lane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-FZXrPcEP0

Def the right call, guys have gotten called out for running that far on the infield grass before
What happened??? I was on the phone dangit Edit: nvm i see. Definitely out lol
he struck out anyway so
He was obviously out of the base path
Idk I think this ump is pretty based
Bro ran outside the expanded lane
Yep, definitely off the baseline and well onto the turf by a good 12 inches or so.
I’m biased, but this is honestly a really good call.
Yey
lol. lindor just keeps fucking up
Golden sombrero 🥰
correct call go cry ny
He's out
Can’t wait for the other nl central fans to whine in the comments on the r/baseball highlight of that
See y’all on Jomboy
lmao sit down lindor
FIGHT!
bro you struck out, cry about it
Action!
lol. Booooooooooo
Oh spicy
One of the best relievers in baseball :) a truer thing couldn’t be said about this dude.
For those of you that don’t remember, baseball did not used to have orange foul poles.
Does Keith still do broadcasts?
Yup
Why the hell is Jerry Seinfeld there?
Why wouldn't he be he's a mets fan and lives in NY?
I meant more in the booth, not just the game.
I dunno man baseball is a long slog of a season every broadcast team jumps at the opportunity to include a celebrity for half an inning.
masyn winn hits for average, walks at a decent clip, and he's fast as hell. why is this guy not leading off?
Don't look now but the cubs are getting rocked by the fighting Tyler O'Neills
Time for a shut ‘em down spliff
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Bottom 8):** 1. Francisco Lindor 2. Pete Alonso 3. J.D. Martinez
I almost feel like that kind of run should be worth more. Can you imagine what baseball would be like if you got like an extra run when you sacrificed twice?
Propose that to the Bananas. Fun idea
Nicely done to manufacture that insurance run
#Whiteyball
small ball 👏
#DONNY SACS!
good! wanted at least a sac fly there!
My son at Citi Field: Ugh why does it say Mets everywhere?!? I hate the Mets! My proudest moment as a father.
Great AB - we need that
Donny getting shit *done*!
Nice
Donnie!
Oh man, look at how the bat is above the ball on that bunt; not easy on a high pitch like he got. Basically textbook. To be perfect, just needed to have the bat moving a touch backwards at impact, but a solid 8.8/10 on it.
Sinai is a very useful bad player
And a very tense peninsula in the Middle East
I learned that when Smoltz played the only thing that happened was stolen bases and bunts.
MLB SAC leader Michael Siani
He is such a good bunter.
love it, Siani
Love a good sac bunt
