And he hit the sac fly off of our newest Old Pal Jose Buttó to tie things up, after previously victimizing Old "Pal" Joey Lucchesi.
Alas, the San Francisco Old Pals have so many of our old pals, they could afford to let Conforto go down to SoCal. Old Pal Dom Smith (hero of the Last Real Mets Game, never forget) drove in the winning run, and Whomping Wilmer Flores had a couple of hits, as well.
(Last Sunday in San Francisco, I saw Wilmer pinch-hit for Dom, and it felt like 2018 all over again…)
Meanwhile, Stank stank again, Hell's Bells dodged some bullets, and Edlose Edlost, again. Now that we've added a pile of ex-closers, can we make him an ex-closer, please?
(Yeah, yeah, he's been mostly fine, you can't beat him up for giving up the stupid Free Run, and it was the Six Most Common Words in English that did us in…but if you think I'm passing up a Free Shot at Edlose, think again.)
#249 ties Polar Pete with Jose Valentin, who helped us win that 2006 World Championship by posting an .820 OPS and 3.6 WAR at age 36, which was pretty impressive.
(What do you mean, we lost that NLCS to the Cardinals? Did you see that Cardinals team? I'm still shocked we didn't sweep them…)
