Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Carlos Mendoza was left with a near-impossible decision on Monday afternoon with his Mets ’ postseason hopes hanging in the balance.
“As soon as Lindor hit that ball, I turned around and gave a look,” Mendoza said. “We made eye contact was right there.” Diaz proceeded to strike out Ramon Laureano and get Travis d’Arnaud to ground out to clinch a postseason spot for the Mets — just the first of a few perfectly called decisions by the rookie manager to further suggest that he is ready for the big stages that await him.
When starting pitcher Luis Severino ran into trouble, he stuck with him rather than exercising the short leash that has become customary for so many managers in the postseason. After allowing four runs on eight hits in 3.1 innings of work, Severino went on to retire the final eight batters he faced to give the Mets six gutsy innings.
