This, on the other hand, definitely belongs in this thread.
Skied ball, runner on third. Bruce should've attacked this and there's no sacrifice. For whatever reason the infielder takes it and the runner gets home.

(I'll summarise this one myself for the thread)
Mets up 3-2, two runners on, 2 outs in the 8th, a save situation effectively, the best RP in baseball Edwin Diaz, not even warming.
Mets give up a Parra hit, 2 runs score.
Now 4-3 down to the Nats and guess who's warming up?

(Editors note)
The Mets were 4-3 down to the Nats - who are trying for the worst bullpen in history here. 3 run homer puts the Mets 6-4 up and, duly, back in a save situation.
(That is until the Nats give up a couple more)

Lugo gets Bryant out before walking Rizzo. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out.
At the start of the year, they said Edwin Diaz was only good for 3-out saves. Then they changed their mind and said "Max 4". This would've been 5.
Lugo stays in.
Baez homers.
5-3

The Mets lose - but that's not why we're here. It's the press conference where things get interesting, there's questions about whether Diaz should be used for 5 outs... Callaway isn't happy.
Then a reporter says to Mickey Callaway "See you tomorrow, Mickey"

They're still a long way back in the Wildcard, and their farm system just got even shallower.

Pretty worrying story out of the gate. If this was a home game then presumably he could've been any number of places between the ballpark and home, but the Mets were in Atlanta, he could've (you'd think) only been in his hotel room...
