The Pickup Artists
Briefly

This week's episode of Jay Horwitz's Amazin' Conversations podcast celebrates twenty years of the SNY booth trio. Jay shares a humorous story about miscommunication when meeting Keith Hernandez, emphasizing how failures to support can linger. He connects this theme to the recent Mets game, where several players successfully supported one another, showcasing the significance of teamwork and the satisfaction derived from helping colleagues in pivotal moments during a match. The narrative underscores both the humor and the deeper meanings of connection and support in sports and life.
Moral: when somebody fails to pick you up, it stays with you. Conversely, whether it's someone you work with, someone you live with, or someone you hired, little in life is as satisfying as seeing someone come into view to make like Keith Hernandez in the clutch and pick you up.
For all the Mets had been doing right most of this still young season, it felt like that relatively simple task was going unfulfilled for too long, at least on this road trip.
But in the late innings of the Mets' Chase Filed finale, the picking up commenced in earnest.
Lindor then finds his way to third - and he gets picked up by a sacrifice fly!
