    I wasn’t watching this live, because some people have the audacity to schedule work meetings during day games. Don’t they know to consult the Mets schedule first?

    But I saw that clip, and said “That can’t possibly be allowed”. Sure enough, the SNY folks confirmed he should have been out. If the Mets had a challenge left they should have used it.

      That’s ridiculous. Baseball should always come before work. Someone should get a firm talking to.

      I don’t really see the point in using the helmet anyway, besides that it’s funny. Maybe you get a little more extension, but it just seems risky
