Vogelbach comes out with a bat! I love it! Almost as soon as he was traded to the Mets from the very team he was about to beat to a pulp, he became a beloved fan favorite.

[MilkBoy]

You know it's bad when Jeff McNeil is the one calming you down lol

[nickross]

I’m sorry but you shouldn’t have control issues at this level. If you can’t pitch inside without hitting people then you should find a different job. They are throwing a hard object too hard to just guess where it’s going

[lnl]

Starling Marte sidelined with broken finger from being hit by a Pirate pitcher. No more.

[Bodyknowledge]

Message to clowns: Learn to pitch inside but not strike the batter. Can't be perfect but ya'll get paid quite or very well to throw so there you go. Happy pearl chucking! Capt Notsoobvious.

Glad Pete bark at him. Learn to pitch!

[oldfanboy]

The pitcher is nonchalant about it as well. He literally like it's not my fault if I can't control my pitching.

[FSUOSU]

I've never really seen Alonso this upset. He's normally a nice, chill dude out there. So obviously that Pirates pitcher was doing sketchy stuff lol. It definitely going to happen when a batter gets hit by a pitch. Seems though it's been happening too often in this series. I personally couldn't stand the thought of beaning another batter, I'd feel horrible and probably throw myself out the game lol.

RAY KNIGHT WOULD HAVE STOP THIS FROM GAME ONE OF THE SEASON

[dwx]

I just need the Mets to get angry enough to win the rest of the way, and for the bullpen to get it together and the team to be healthy and confident in general

[wilseph]

Always love it when the bullpen guys come jogging/running in.

[raymondhoagland]

I think that's one of the last guys you want to hit with a pitch 🐻 I think Pete's been a little frustrated leaving men on base 👍⚾💙

[jacintochua]

Funny, he only hits the best batters?

[puppethound]

Mets have been hit all year long. I'm surprised it took this long.

[motamendez]

If you throw that, the least you can do is apologize, no respect for a pitcher like that.

[lyo]

Pete’s slump, if this makes sense, comes at a good time as it can’t last forever. He’ll snap out of it just in time for the playoffs and go off and carry this Amazin’ team to a championship. Never know!

[crockernevln]

Seeing Vogelbach join the fray carrying a bat I sure wouldn't initiate anything but an apology.

[aldito]

O.K. - I'm a Met fan. I think that this team is well on their way to becoming the most hit team in baseball history.

[allenwilliamsii]

102 times Mets have been hit by a pitch this year. I'm surprised Buck didn't try to throw hands out there himself.

[jorgecanizares]

The Mets don't need suspensions during this race for the pennate. 🙏⚾🧢
