During a game on April 25, 2025, the Mets fell victim to an erroneous triple play call made by the umpires. Jesse Winker hit a ball that first baseman Nathaniel Lowe appeared to catch, leading to a sequence that resulted in a triple play. However, replays indicated that the ball had actually bounced before the catch, and since the play was not reviewable, the Mets could not challenge the ruling. Manager Carlos Mendoza protested the call, while player Winker expressed disbelief at the mistake. Ultimately, the Mets lost the game despite a strong performance.
"Umps just screwed the Mets unbelievably hard in the 4th inning. A complete BOTCH call by the ump leads to an unofficial triple play that never even happened."
"Replay showed that Lowe did not catch the ball before the ball hit the ground and it should have not been called an out by first base ump Alfonso Marquez."
