Baseball is a game of surprises, and sometimes it’s the strange moments that make it beautiful. This was certainly the case during the San Diego Padres vs New York Mets game at Citi Field on Monday night, as the Mets had not one but two bizarre infield hits in the same inning. Fans couldn’t believe their eyes as they witnessed two oddly identical plays unfold before them.
The first hit came from Luis Guillorme, who executed a perfectly placed bunt down the third base line. The ball seemed to have a mind of its own as it rolled along the dirt and came to a stop just inside the foul line, leaving Padres’ third baseman Manny Machado with no chance to make a play. A few batters later, Tomas Nido hit a slow grounder up the same baseline, and the ball again refused to roll foul, resulting in an almost identical hit.
It was a bizarre sight, but one that was oddly satisfying for Mets fans. The team went on to score three runs in that inning, with the help of these strange hits and eventually won the game 5-0. It was a reminder that in baseball, anything can happen, and it’s these unexpected moments that make the game so exciting.
The reaction of MLB fans to the amazing feat by Guillorme and Machado
The strange hits didn’t go unnoticed by MLB fans, who took to social media to express their amazement and amusement. Many fans commented on the incredible luck the Mets had, while others were simply stunned by the bizarre nature of the hits. Some fans even compared the hits to scenes from the movie “The Sandlot,” where the ball seems to have a life of its own.
But perhaps according to SI, the most significant reaction was from Mets fans, who saw these strange hits as a sign that their team might be destined for greatness. With a 5-3 record so far this season, the Mets are off to a solid start, and these bizarre hits only add to the excitement around the team.
In the end, the strange infield hits in the Padres-Mets game was a reminder of why baseball is such a great game. It’s not just about the big home runs or flashy plays; it’s about the unexpected moments that can make even the most routine plays exciting. And for Mets fans, it was a sign that their team might be in for an exciting season.
