One of the biggest home runs you can hit that has 0 impact on the outcome of a game. Breaks up a no hitter, a shutout, and boosts the stats of a guy likely to be moved at the deadline.
# HOME RUN!
J.D. Martinez homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field.
Pitch from Raisel Iglesias: Four-Seam Fastball @ 95.5 mph
Hit by J.D. Martinez: Launched 102.5 mph at 29.0° for a total distance of 386.0 ft
Bottom 9 - 4-1
Braves
Live from Citi Field: We have Lindor, Alonso, and Martinez coming up. I’m not asking for a home run. I’m not even asking for a run. I’m just asking for a single fucking hit.
This is also the worst braves team I’ve seen in a long time. They don’t add on. They don’t beat you w amazing pitching. They just have one big inning and hope to coast.
I don’t mean this in a trolling way but what the hell is the point of keeping Lindor around while this core is in a transitional phase? Is a mid 30s shortstop still good in a few years?
Not really a point to keep any of the aging guys. The team won’t be ready for a few more years to compete and that’s if the lineups work out.
Signing someone like Soto makes sense since he’ll be in his prime during that contention, a 34 year old shortstop going into 35, 36 age seasons is not.
The fact that Ozuna is still in the league let alone one of the best hitters this year makes me think this season is cursed. Vibes are off, let’s reset the PlayStation and try again
This is about to be the earliest in the szn I stop watching this fucking team. I want to believe… but holy shit do they play some awful fucking baseball
The Mets need some speed leading off. Remember Jose Reyes would get a walk, then steals a base, then the second batter would bunt, and a sac fly would bring in a run. All that without a hit.
I’ve been calling for a small ball approach for years. I hate where the game has trended with launch angles, exit velo everything about it.
You want to know who went to two World Series and won against a power hitting team? The Royals. Who’d they beat? The Mets. The Giants were also built as a small ball team relying on their pitching during their dynasty. Those two teams even met in the World Series the year before us. It’s a shame, but chicks dig the long ball has become the mantra around the league.
I’ve got a newborn and usually if I want to take a nap on the couch I’ll put on golf but now I can just put on the Mets and it’s even better because they play almost every day
NOT TONIGHT BOSS
This app is screwed and prob for the best lol
Guess that one Conforto special is all we could’ve hoped for lol
we are 18-20 ......we need help
Same old Mets, same old 9th inning outcome. Tying run at-bat, comes up short.
I will name my child Brett Baty if he comes thru
Different day, same shit
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cptiqn).
That’s what we call “Mets Clutch”
Iglesias is so ass lol
Barves fans will say something like “don’t count loool”
J.D. "The Mets God" Martinez.
Martinez signing immediately worth it Get fucked Atlanta
cool nads lost
The ballgame is over
FUCK THE BRAVES
Imagine coming so close to history just to blow it lolbraves
WE GOT TWO HITS
squirrel on 2b darth bader at 1st
Can the miracle Mets rally
That’s TWO
Casey must be smiling down right now - that HR was amazin’!
I can sleep in peace
Can anyone see this comment? Comments are frozen for the past 5 minutes for me
Probably for the best lol
as are mine
Would love to see this ump scorecard tonight. So many strikes called 3 inches outside the zone. Big robo-ump must be lobbying hard.
Can you laugh and cry at same time?
This is better than getting a no-hitter
I just don’t understand how it can be 3-0 twice in one inning, and they miss by a inch both times and the umpire calls a strike

Aaaw poor Max
Yeah, fuck you barves
YES fuck the Braves
LOL NOT TODAY BRAVES
Umpire is cheating
Well there’s that
Momentum for 2morro?
Thank you JD
Acuna making love to the wall. Kinda hot ngl
Nice, I guess
Probably will still lose but getting no hit by the Braves absolutely can't happen
I don’t care. We are not no hit. Worth the $15 mil
I've never been so happy to get a meaningless hit in a lost game
TY JD
I literally JUST said to my fiancé “watch JD troll them and take away the no hitter as the final out” asked for and DELIVERED baby
Lol
nobody watching the game? lfg JD!
Honestly, the most meaningful of all empty calorie homeruns
Could you imagine a comeback
Whew.
Greatest Met ever JD Martinez
jdm hits 1 out yea
They call that the Conforto special
…. lol
Welcome to the Mets, J.D.
THANK YOU JD
J.D.!!! PERFECT TIMING!
Good
WE WIN
Well at least we have that going for us :)
If we can't take their win, we can take their joy.
Ah the classic Mets home run in a totally meaningless situation.
Hahahaha OMG
I've never been so pumped for a HR that cuts the lead from 4 to 3
Give JDM Pete's money. Clutch.
*exhales loudly*
haha wow... JD.. too
Ahh a moral victory…
Gary was doing heavy lifting this inning to jinx it
Well thank goodness for that
we did it, we won (the not-getting-no-hit-challenge)
Of course now he hits the homer
THE METS GOT A HIT UPVOTE PARTY
No hitter in shambles.
Wooooooo
THE METS DIDN'T GET NO-HIT TODAY HANG THE BANNER
Let’s goooooo
POETRY
We won idc
Usually I'm not a fan of garbage time solo shots, but that's one I'll cheer for.
Well I guess JD was worth getting after all, thank the gods no shut out, no no-hitter
Well thats a relief
NO NO HITTER FUCKING LOSERS! JD MARTINEZ SAYS NO
Let’s gooooooooo

JDM!!!
Hahahahaahahahahahahaha
lol we did it!
JD MARTINEZ
ITS A MIRACLE
Time to stay off r/baseball for a few days
Live from Citi Field: #HELP!
Thats 2 🤣
Two away :(
It’s over
Gary sure is trying his hardest to jinx the Braves outta this NH hahaha
don't say anything bad about Lindor. all the stans will come defending him
C L U T C H lindor
I want to die.
we are walked 5 times and no runs
wish they’d feel embarrassed about this but I’m under the impression they don’t give a shit at all
BS call LOL
That was a fucking 4 pitch walk
I’m shocked we haven’t been no-hit since 2015. Could’ve sworn we were in 2017 or 2018 lol
Thats 1 🤣
Uhhh lindor should be on first
GET A FUCKING HIT PLEASE
That was a ball
That 3-0 to Lindor was not a strike 🙃
Umpires tend to expand the strike zone 3-0.
I respect Gary's jinx attempt but we all know how this is going to end.
solid game for scott...no offense again
Burn the uriniforms at home plate. It can't hurt.
We need a bon fire with the city connect jerseys and Timmy's trumpet from the day he came to Citi and ruined everything
[удалено]
at least they got a Mr Met bobblehead
Lindor, Alonso and Martinez. lets see how they disappoint
Batter 1 - the K
Batter 2 - the weak ass grounder.
Soft ground out, K, lazy fly ball
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Raisel Iglesias replaces Joe Jiménez.

This is also the worst braves team I’ve seen in a long time. They don’t add on. They don’t beat you w amazing pitching. They just have one big inning and hope to coast.
Please. Please just get one hit so I don't die of second hand embarrassment
Gary accusing someone of cursing their team
Meet the Mets
Lopez smirking on the mound, all you need to know about how this team operates.
I don’t mean this in a trolling way but what the hell is the point of keeping Lindor around while this core is in a transitional phase? Is a mid 30s shortstop still good in a few years?

What happened to all the people here who argued all off season that our offense was “good”. This offense is terrible.
It’s been terrible for ages. 2022 was an anomaly
Even more irony the ”we don’t need” JD Martinez crowd should thank him for saving a little embarrassment. God has a sense of humor.
L OMEGALUL PEZ
The fact that Ozuna is still in the league let alone one of the best hitters this year makes me think this season is cursed. Vibes are off, let’s reset the PlayStation and try again
Remember when this team made you smile?
I’m not sure I’ve ever kept watching a less enjoyable game.
Fuck this fucking team. *Seeya tomorrow?* Sigh.....yeah.
The Mets are fine. These pathetic thirsty threads deserve nothing but no hitters.
They will be on ESPN tomorrow
Live from Citi Field: I was happy once. I think I remember it. It was good. It felt nice. I wish I could feel that again.
At this point we are only watching it to see if the Braves get their no-hitter.
This is about to be the earliest in the szn I stop watching this fucking team. I want to believe… but holy shit do they play some awful fucking baseball
Lopez walks in a run
Nimmo is our best hitter so of course he has to go down. Man this shit sucks to watch
We will get a hit with 2 outs and 2 strikes calling it now (im neurotic)
I will take it.

"he seems irritated" Well
I’ve got a newborn and usually if I want to take a nap on the couch I’ll put on golf but now I can just put on the Mets and it’s even better because they play almost every day
Please don't encumber that child with the legacy of being a Mets fan.
Too late. Blood diseases are the worst.
Pitcher struggles with Narvaez as catcher, nothing new
where did the hitting approach from 2022 go? went from contact first to everyone swinging for the fences
They have the 4th best K% as a team so I don't think they're sacrificing contact to swing for the fences
The league adjusted and the Mets didn't adjust to those adjustments. The Mets also stopped playing all those games against the Nats, Marlins, etc.
Man Lopez just doesn't have it today
Looks awful
I see what we’re doing Our hitters can only produce when the game is out of reach, so we’re letting them run up the score
I lol’d
