I wasn’t watching this live, because some people have the audacity to schedule work meetings during day games. Don’t they know to consult the Mets schedule first?
But I saw that clip, and said “That can’t possibly be allowed”. Sure enough, the SNY folks confirmed he should have been out. If the Mets had a challenge left they should have used it.
It seems to me like the helmet was flying off and he instinctively caught it, and then happened to have it in that hand when he slid in. I don’t think he needed the helmet extension to have been safe. The ump probably thought he would have been safe anyway. And the line is blurred now, anyway, now that everyone else uses those wedge gloves.
