From the dramatic bottom of the 7th game tying home run from Trumbull's Brayden Jagoe to force extra innings, to the go ahead infield hit from Staples' Cole Landgraf in the 8th, to the final out in the Wreckers' 3-2 Class LL State Championship win on Saturday - Staples High School student radio broadcasters (WWPT) called the game at Palmer Field.

Charlie Curran (play by play) and Michael Brennan (color) had the radio call, and added a beautiful thank you to WWPT advisor and Staples Media teacher Geno Heiter before signing off. @RadioWWPT @NFHS_Org @StaplesAD @staplesbaseball #ctbase

@petertom25 @SbondyNBA I think this means that they should not have stopped play

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@KnicksMuse Now they call dread touching fouls??? Unbelievable.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@CoachSwit The opposite happens too. Those are the kids HS coaches should want in the lineup and on the field. But they’re not given a fair chance.

@SleeperMets I was at the game tonight. Hitters just pass each other by like strangers, don’t even help each other after an at bat. This team is done. They need to sell, and call up the AAA kids to see if their CHIP effort there (last year or year before) can translate here.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@TheHoopCentral But for the most part those flop fouls are not being called tonight. Need to keep these same refs for the rest of the series!

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@JakeBrownLive Mets hitting staff will ruin him.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@AlbaneseLaura @SteveGelbs Can we make JD Martinez the hitting coach already? This director of hitting setup is not working.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@LetsTalkKnicks_ Detroit is getting embarrassed. Down by 33.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@JakeBrownLive They keep saying “we need to help him”. I did t realize that the big league level was developmental. That’s the minor leagues.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@ernestdove He needs to sit it out for a couple of games. Bringing nothing of value right now.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@AlyssaRose I’m not getting sucked in until they reach .500!

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@SleeperMets I mean Mark at first is not “run prevention”. Get Clifford up here to at least do that.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@mikemayer22 Wait what? Only $2m salary this year? Whoa they can absolutely keep spending then this year!

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@MarshaIIZach That was back in 2021, when the Mets were still not good all around. Much different situation and outlook for the team today.

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@bwags Just need the Dodgers to lose to Milwaukee for the cherry on top!

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@TravelingJagrs @MarkCHealey He’s a rookie. For months we had early exits from Senga, Manaea, Peterson, Holmes… that’s your starting rotation exiting because they were bad!

[Sam Somashekar @sams2618]

@TravelingJagrs @MarkCHealey That’s on the starters. They could not be trusted to go deep and keep the team in games.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: Two months into the season, they were baseball’s best team. Three and a half months later, they became the sport’s biggest failures.

This is how the Mets' meltdown happened, despite a $340 million payroll. https://t.co/qa7VjOlEx3
