Every Met forgot how many outs there were, a breakdown
What Happened
In the bottom of the sixth inning of a closely contested game, the New York Mets are trailing their National League East rivals. First baseman Pete Alonso steps to the plate for the Mets, looking to spark a rally. Mets left fielder Luis Guillorme pops out to left field for the first out of the inning. Next up is Mets utility player Eduardo Escobar. Escobar works the count full before drawing a walk, putting a runner on base for the Mets. As Escobar takes his base, it becomes clear that the Mets' players and coaching staff are confused about the number of outs in the inning. Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar fields a hard ground ball and starts a smooth 5-4-3 double play. However, as the Mets jog off the field, it becomes evident that no one on the team - not the infielders, outfielders, or even the catcher - is certain how many outs there were. Mets manager Buck Showalter emerges from the dugout, puzzled by the lack of awareness from his players. "Hey, what's going on out there?" Showalter asks the Mets catcher, who replies, "Well, what do you do? The scoreboard got it wrong." Showalter shakes his head, clearly frustrated by his team's mental lapse. The confusion stems from the fact that Mets left fielder Mark Canha caught the first out of the inning, but none of his teammates seemed to register that. As the Mets walked off the field, they all looked at each other uncertainly, unsure if there were two outs or three. "They all look around like, 'Uh, we go now, right?'" the announcer observes, highlighting the team's collective confusion. The mix-up is a jarring moment in the game, with the Mets seemingly unable to keep track of the basic details of the situation. This unusual sequence of events underscores the importance of situational awareness and attention to detail in baseball. Even for experienced professional players, a momentary lapse in focus can lead to bewildering mistakes. As the Mets return to the dugout, they'll need to regroup and refocus if they hope to mount a comeback in this tightly contested divisional matchup.
