"I don't think I've ever seen that before" Carson Benge's throw home hit the bat before it could reach Luis Torrens

He's like the Mets relievers, he finds the bat.

I don’t think that should be an error

What the fuck was the bat doing there? Should have been gone already.

Mets pen going to choke this game

“Terrible break” 😂😂 the throw was way offline and the catcher was 8 feet from home plate.. AND the base running was already safe before the ball hit the bat

The Savannah Bananas are trying to figure out how to add this as a trick play during their games.

Rays have bunted so much this season, the bats are doing it on their own.

Who cares? It wasn't going to matter if it was perfectly thrown-he was safe!

Hagenman & Devenski shouldn’t even be rostered, it’s a lost season again and for the 2nd year in a row Stearns has played musical chairs with the lineup & pitching staff all year because hes failed to build an actual contender. Tong & Myers shoulda been up. Hes a terrible POBO

Whose fault was it that the bat was hanging around the batter’s box? Surely not Benge.

there was a time when we were civilized and the ump would move the bat

Safe by a mile

Satanism is happening in this ballpark

I thought Benge was supposed to have a hose? This was weak.

Two hopper and way offline. Deserved to hit the bat. Probably would've gone to the backstop. Terrible

@NjTank99 Probably cause most guys don’t throw it 8 feet offline

Does the run count double?

He never should be throwing home with a 5 run lead. Bad fundamental baseball -- no excuse for that

in a Little League game, I have.

Who gives a fuck? He touched the plate before the ball even touched the bat

Wait, the Mets were up 6-0. The Rays should have raised the white flag per @WillFlemming logic. Smh

Where the heck did Devenski come from

Too late Off line and about 15 feet short !! Why blame the bat !!

Bay was in foul territory, away from the plate . Benge just made a horrible throw.

Wow, didn’t notice that last night

Remember he was a pitcher in college and hit a lot of bats

The Rays analytics department probably figured out how to do this reliably

The throw was horrible anyway

That's because it was off.

@Tatorsdad

Probably because it’s a terrible throw

Mets relievers finding new and exciting ways to turn routine plays into biblical omens, love to see it

Outcome unchanged

Garbage throw, wouldn't have been close

@StevenmmHoey Benge should be granted a hit for that perfect bat to ball, or would it be ball to bat? placement?
