The Mets' offense is really struggling and had scored just one run in the previous 42 innings before Curtis Granderson launched a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth for the only run of this game.
A miserable season came to an end for the Nationals, who ended up firing manager Matt Williams afterwards.
* This was my first time listening to Keith Hernandez in nearly six months, so it took me a second to remember how ridiculous he is.
Quite.
The answer is he is quite ridiculous.
We were forced to play a game called What Are All The Things That Keith Hernandez Remembers? because Keith Hernandez has to mention his playing career every 6 minutes (MLB/federal law).
Here's what we learned:
1. He lost the batting title on the last day of the 1980 baseball season.
2. He knows Steve Carlton and saw him the other day.
3. In 1984 Mets fans loved the Mets so they cheered for (the Mets) a lot on the last day of the season.
4. He watched a Brewers game in 1982.
5. Mike Witt was a good pitcher.
6. He played baseball for the Mets.
More from Hernandez
- On Jacob deGrom's upcoming Division Series start: "maybe the most important start of his young career."
Maybe?! It's his second season in the big leagues and it will be his first playoff start.
- Back to the 1980 batting race: "I ended up losing the batting race to Bill Buckner, ironically."
Someone doesn't know the meaning of the word "ironically".
I think he's trying to say that since Buckner made the error in the World Series six years later that it is now ironic that Buckner (future Redsox) would've beaten Keith Hernandez (future Met) in a batting race six years earlier.
- It was a sunny day and Washington second baseman Trea Turner wasn't wearing sunglasses. Play-by-play man Gary Cohen: "how does a Major League player not go out onto the field with sunglasses?"
Hernandez: "maybe....he's a September call-up?"
Pardon?
- And finally, Hernandez called Granderson's home run a Vinny Bombarito, so he clearly wasn't going to get away with that.
