What happened with Conforto is no where near cheating. The Umps could have called him out. That is on them. Did the Mets catch a break- they may have. But that would be like calling Derek a cheater because a kid reached over and caught his out. That was also not on the Yankees but the umps.
I know you are better than that. Talk about and bitch that we got lucky he didn’t get called out but cheating- big stretch.
My positive spin on our Mets...We know we are going to hit. Conforto, McNeil, Lindor, Davis are not going to be sub .200 for the year. And so far, our BP has pretty much sucked.
But...we are 2-2
3 of 4 starters pitched really good and one of our 2 losses was in our best start...
I think deGrom is going to be deGrom, Stroman really looks like a solid crafty number 2. Hopefully, Walkers stays solid and I see no reason for not to be. So- really good chance we are right in the thick of it when Carasco, Noah, Lugo come back.
mid we are and they all come back solid, we could be in a good position to not only make playoffs but that starting staff could be built for a great playoff run.

There was definitely an at bat he pretended to get hit by a pitch. Because it was jeter it was called gamesmanship. Wasn’t cheating; ump blew the call.
My family is almost all Mets and Giants fans. Not one Jet fan that I can think of. I am a Vikings fan, Giants second.
Jeter fakes getting hit
Jeter fakes getting hit
Not at all. Just admit he cheated and got away with it. Just like I did back when Jeter did it. It was worse for Jeter as he was going to be a lock as a first ballot HOF.
The Met crybabies on here can't admit that their boy cheated and got away with it. There will be payback by the umps at some point.
Payback by the umps? Do you honestly have THAT low a perception of their integrity?
A related question. "Framing pitches" is really nothing more than an attempt to deceive the umpire. Is that cheating?
You are stuck on the word "cheated"
It is only cheating if it is something "not allowed" , planned and executed and purposely deceitful.. There must also be a penalty attached to the action. He did hit "not allowed" but in this case- the play is not considered "cheating" it is just an out. There is no penalties involved even if you are called out. Just very similar to running inside the line to 1B. Guys do it, sometimes they get away with it and sometimes they are called out. But, it is not cheating. Cheating has to have a penalty. Same with interference with a catcher. So many plays like this in baseball.
So stop crying. Not sure why you are so worked up over it. You have plenty to worry about over at your stadium.
Do you watch baseball? Ever hear of Joe West??Umps are human. They hate being embarrassed.
I’m sure there’s ONE person on this forum who can shed a light on this subject better than most of us here.
From a Mets fan standpoint, Conforto did something that some players do today to gain an edge. There’s so many things that you can do to try and get that advantage. Sometimes they get caught, sometime they don’t.
IMO, that should’ve been strike three since that was in the strike zone. It’s already a rule and the Umpire admitted that he blew the call. Other than what may or may not happen today with Conforto and even McNeil with his bat flip, this should be over and done with.

Right now, honestly, who has a better 1-8 lineup? The Mets by far. The Yankees have way more issues, but the problem is the Mets play in a way harder division. Remember the days of crying about how much harder the Yankee schedule was?
I think Hernandez summed it up well, in line with your thoughts above:
"It was quick thinking on Conforto's part to try, but he doesn't know that the umpire was gonna ring him up," Hernandez explained. "He made his decision before. It's just something you don't do. You don't do that. ... It's not cheating. He made that decision at the last split second. It's not cheating.
"It's not like someone goes out there and has a razor blade and starts cutting the ball. Or you got a guy out there that has binoculars in the scoreboard that's relaying the signs or have trash cans in the dugout. It's not that. It was a split reaction and Conforto got away with it. The Mets got away with it."
A split reaction, not premeditated, and without knowing whether it was a ball or strike. He’s gonna get hit regardless, though.
Kilome's stock had dropped to put it mildly. Sometimes you have to trust the opinions of the guys who make these decisions for a living.
I know it has and he's still not the one to drop for Peraza. If no one claims him you can yell at me then.
Yup. Shit for brains has him batting 3rd against a lefty when he can’t hit a beach ball right now.
Correct. At 2-2 they are a .500 team. The question is what will they become. We'll know in 5 1/2 months.
I’ll tell you what, the Marlins got some young studs in their rotation. Something to look for in the future.
Aaaannnd the 2021 version of Eric Campbell strikes out.

DeGrom is a two time Cy Young winner on a career path to the Hall of Fame. I should be so poor.
Is this what we're doing today? Taking things way beyond context.
