This showed a lot of fire from the Mets and manager Buck Showalter, who was the first one out of the dugout after Lindor got hit. Seeing that fire from Buck says a lot and is something that the Mets haven't seen since Terry Collins. Facts are Mickey Callaway and Louis Rojas never showed anything close to that fire. Buck showed it's and its a great breath of fresh air into this organization. It shows Buck still has it and that this is a new attitude from the New York Mets.
Thankfully all four p-layers whop have been plunked in the first two games. McCann (who got hit twice on Thursday) and Alonso (who was hit thankfully wearing that C Flap on his helmet) were all OK. The Lindor got hit in the face just under his batting helmet trying to bunt last night, escaped a concussion and broken jaw. He did suffer a chipped tooth but otherwise escaped without serious injury. The fact that Washington is taking shots at Mets hitters, two of them who are franchise players and in the heart of the Mets lineup, is disgusting.
The fact that the Mets haven't thrown back at them yet, at least to this point, is a bit of a surprise. But at the same time its also smart. Why risk losing one of your best players by trying to head hunt in Washington or risk seriously injuring another player. There's no doubt in my mind that something is coming from the Mets, it has to. There's no way I feel that the Nationals are going to get away with this it's going to happen somewhere in some way, shape or form down the line before this long season is over.
For now, the Mets got their revenge in the best way possible, by winning the first two games of the series from the Nats. They did that. But this is far from over between the division rivals.
