The Mets’ Jesse Winker incredibly waited in the batter’s box to admire entire flight of his upper-deck HR

Playoff home runs don’t get much cooler.

When the calendar turns over to October, baseball is just different. Every pitch has more meaning. Any swing can change a series. So, we can’t blame Mets outfielder Jesse Winker for enjoying every second of his Game 3 home run against the Phillies.

The Mets hosted their first playoff game in two years on Tuesday, and Winker was absolutely locked in. He was robbed of extra bases in his first at-bat. And had Aaron Nola’s fastball timed up to perfection when he turned on the 93 mph four-seamer, sending it into the second-deck seats.

We’ve seen some epic bat flips and home run celebrations over the years, but Winker’s reaction to the home run has to be right up there with the best of them.

Check out how long he stayed in the batter’s box to watch that ball.

Can you blame him though? A hit like that is something Winker understandably wanted to take in.

Jesse Winker slammed his batting helmet in celebration after scoring during the Mets’ big ninth inning

Jesse Winker was pretty darn excited.

The New York Mets saved their season on Thursday night in Milwaukee to advance to the next round of the 2024 MLB playoffs.

A Pete Alonso three-run homer got New York on the board at the top of the ninth inning, then Mets outfielder Starling Marte drove fellow Mets outfielder Jesse Winker home to give the team an extra run down the stretch.

As Winker made it to home plate, he slammed his batting helmet to the ground in celebration as his team was about to complete a stunning come-from-behind playoff victory on the road.

What a moment for Winker and the Mets during such a memorable win for the franchise.

Willy Adames said he actually went to meet Jesse Winker in the parking lot after their Game 1 argument

Jesse Winker apparently didn’t show!

After the grind of a 162-game season, emotions are always running high come playoff time. And in Game 1 of the wild-card series between the Mets and Brewers, we saw what could happen when tensions reach a boiling point.

With no outs in the second inning of Game 1, Mets outfielder Jesse Winker exchanged words with Willy Adames during a mound visit following a game-tying triple. Some brilliant lip reading from Jomboy Media revealed that Adames told Winker that he would meet him in the parking lot. You know, to settle whatever beef they had.

Well, Adames is a man of his word because he actually went to the parking lot after the game to look for Winker.

Adames said via the New York Post:

“I was there (in the lot),” Adames added, saying Winker didn’t show.

Sources told The Post that Winker was upset by Frankie Montas drilling him with a pitch on the backside last Friday. Winker walked away when asked about the incident, saying only, “Why?”

It’s kind of wild that Adames was still so heated after the game that he waited in the parking lot. But that’s what playoff baseball can do.

Word of the altercation clearly spread among Brewers fans because Winker was loudly booed during his first at-bat in Game 3.

What did Mets’ Jesse Winker and Brewers’ Willy Adames yell at each other? Here’s what they said.

Emotions ran high for these former teammates.

During an intense opening game of the postseason for the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers, two former teammates exchanged words.

Milwaukee’s Willy Adames and New York’s Jesse Winker played together during the 2023 season. Winker, a former MLB All-Star, played for just one season with the Brewers before he signed with the Washington Nations. He was traded to the Mets at the deadline.

But when matched up against his former team, emotions ran high for Winker. The ESPN broadcast showed a very heated back-and-forth between the Mets outfielder and the  Brewers infielder.

METS – BREWERS: Lip-reading video shows Willy Adames and Jesse Winker screaming NSFW stuff at each other

While some lip reader have tried to interpret what was said in the heat of battle, it is always good to hear directly from the players.

Unfortunately, however, both have seemed fairly tight-lipped so far.

When asked what Adames said to him, Winker said “nothing” and did not look comfortable. He added:

“I don’t really want to speak on it. I just want to focus on the game tomorrow.”

This is a non-answer from Winker, but likely a smart strategy to not add more fuel to whatever fire may exist there.

Adames was also asked about what happened.

“I don’t know what was going through his head. He just started saying some stuff and I just said something back. I think that’s the kind of player he is and that’s what it is … That was surprising that he would say some stuff. But I guess that is part of his personality. It was just a little bit of a surprise to me.”

Although his answer was a bit longer, he did not reveal much either.

Lip-reading video shows Willy Adames and Jesse Winker screaming NSFW stuff at each other

A lot is happening here!

The New York Mets earned a huge road win in the first round of the 2024 MLB Playoffs against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night with plenty of fireworks.

Some of those fireworks came in the form of F-bombs from Mets outfielder Jesse Winker.

The Mets slugger unleashed a very funny, profanity-laced tirade as he rounded the bases after a good hit in the game’s second inning and sent two New York players on base home to tie the ballgame.

The swear words sparked Brewers shortstop Willy Adames to tell Winker that he’d meet him in the parking lot, presumably for more than an exchange of words.

Jomboy tried to break down this moment between Winker and Adames and what led to it in a lip-readers breakdown that is worth your time.

WARNING: Lots of NSFW language to follow:

Brewers’ Jesse Winker wore a necklace made by his daughter and it’s just so cute

Jesse Winker is definitely the best dad ever after this one.

Jesse Winker is definitely in the running as one of the best dads of all time with this maneuver.

Over the last week, the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder showed off some new hand-crafted bling. Leave your pearls at home, as on Tuesday night, Winker was spotted wearing an adorable necklace made by his daughter, opulent stars and sparkles and all.

No doubt Winker’s daughter — named Wren — means a lot to him, as the Brewers outfielder previously told The Athletic her birth changed everything for him.

“It’s the first time in my life that it’s not about me anymore,” Winker said.

And now, Winker is bringing a little bit of his daughter out onto the field with him every day, in the form of precious handmade necklace.

How cute is that?

Breakdown of Mariners-Angels brawl showed Andrew Wantz telling Jesse Winker he had to hit him

“You had to hit me?!”

MLB handed down suspensions for Sunday’s bench-clearing brawl between the Angels and Mariners this week, and Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was the hardest-hit player with 7 games.

But after seeing all the videos and context for the brawl, it’s awfully easy to come away thinking that Angels pitcher Andrew Wantz’s three-game suspension was too lenient. He seemed to admit he hit Winker on purpose.

The whole ordeal stemmed from the Angels taking issue with how the Mariners pitched to Mike Trout on Saturday. Trout avoided two high-and-tight pitches — after a meeting at the mound — with one coming close to his face. Trout wasn’t hit, but the Angels were determined to send a message on Sunday.

An excellent breakdown of the brawl from Jomboy Media showed Wantz evidently admitting to Winker that he “had to” hit him with the pitch. The exchange took place around the 9:40 mark. (NSFW language, video plays in separate YouTube tab)

As the fight was starting to settle down, Winker and Wantz came face to face. And Wantz, who wanted to apologize, appeared to tell Winker that he had to hit him. Winker responded, “You had to hit me? Why did you need to hit me?”

Winker and the rest of the Mariners were adamant that the Angels overreacted since they never actually hit Trout with a pitch. So, the response of throwing behind Julio Rodriguez and then hitting Winker was taking the whole situation too far.

The full breakdown was definitely worth a watch. MLB fans also had thoughts on the video.

¡Ay no! Niña de seis años, fan de los Reds, asiste al Mariners-Angels para ver a Jesse Winker, ¡y lo expulsan tras la campal!

Después de que nos encontramos con esto la mañana del lunes, en serio no podíamos creerlo. Retrocedamos un año en el tiempo, un año casi exacto a esta fecha. Abigail, una fan de seis años de los Cincinnati Reds, llegó al Great American Ballpark para …

Después de que nos encontramos con esto la mañana del lunes, en serio no podíamos creerlo.

Retrocedamos un año en el tiempo, un año casi exacto a esta fecha. Abigail, una fan de seis años de los Cincinnati Reds, llegó al Great American Ballpark para ver a Joey Votto, su jugador favorito.

Pero él discutió con el umpire de home y lo expulsaron. Abigail, justificadamente, quedó devastada y muy triste, pero Votto le firmó una pelota que decía: “Siento mucho no haber jugado el partido completo”.

¡Diríamos que a pesar de lo que pasó, eso fue algo realmente bueno y el día no terminó tan mal!

Un año después, Abigail asistió al partido del domingo entre los Seattle Mariners y los Angels de Los Angeles … donde una pelea campal hizo que el antiguo jugador de los Reds, Jesse Winker, (a quien ella fue a ver) fuera expulsado.

Así es, pasó OTRA VEZ, pero para compensarla, recibió algo por parte de Winker.

NO. ES. CIERTO.

Es cierto. ¡UGH!

Traducción: Bueno, amigos, nunca van a adivinar quién vino a ver al partido Mariners vs Angels para ver jugar a Jesse Winker y a Eugenio Suarez… así es, pasó OTRA VEZ. Y no estamos NADA contentos.

 

Al menos el ex jugador de los Reds Eugenio Suarez le dijo hola.

Traducción: Ya estamos mejor: ¡ya tenemos helado y a Eugenio Suarez para echarle porras! Hace no mucho ¡¡él la saludó y le puso una gran sonrisa en la cara!!

 

¡Miren lo que le dio Winker!

Traducción: ¡¡¡Abigail está FASCINADA de haber recibido una sorpresa dulce y maravillosa!!! Muchas gracias, Sr. Winker y @Mariners. ¡¡¡Vamos Reds, vamos Mariners!!!

 

Traducción: Jesse Winker se enteró de que una de sus más grandes fans vino a verlo a jugar hoy. ¡¡Le firmó una pelota y se la mandó a su asiento!!
“Abigail, ¡perdón que me expulsaron! Espero verte pronto en otro partido.”

 

Y esto es de parte de un SVP de los Mariners:

Traducción 1: Jesse le va a mandar un recuerdo a su familia. ¡Gracias por venir a apoyar al equipo! ¡Disfruten el resto de la tarde y mándenos buenas vibras!
Traducción 2:  ¡Lo recibió! ¡¡¡Muchas gracias a usted y al Sr. Winker!!! Ella está súper emocionada y honrada. Definitivamente no era necesario (¡sabemos que esto pasa de vez en cuando!), ¡¡pero en serio apreciamos su amabilidad!!

 

Traducción 1: ¡Lo recibió! ¡¡¡Muchas gracias a usted y al Sr. Winker!!! Ella está súper emocionada y honrada. Definitivamente no era necesario (¡sabemos que esto pasa de vez en cuando!), ¡¡pero en serio apreciamos su amabilidad!!
Traducción 2: Gracias por su amor al beisbol. Nada mejor que disfrutar un partido con la familia. Vengan a Seattle a vernos jugar. 

 

Ahora veamos lo que pasó con ella el año pasado

Traducción: ¿Recuerdan a la fan de 6 años que el año pasado fue a San Diego a ver jugar a Joey Votto? Ella se puso muy triste cuando lo expulsaron a principios del juego.
Abigail fue a Anaheim al partido del domingo para ver a Jesse Winker y a Eugenio Suarez. Los dos estuvieron involucrados en la campal.

 

Traducción: @Reds Cuando es tu primer partido de la MLB y tu jugador favorito de todos los tiempos es expulsado del partido en la primera entrada… #teamamosjoey

 

Traducción: ¡Les tengo novedades sobre la triste situación de Abigail! Tomó un par de entradas, ¡pero terminó animándose con unas palomitas! Y Joey Votto es TAN AMABLE: ¡¡firmó esta pelota increíble para ella!! Muchísimas gracias, Sr. Votto y a los maravillosos @Reds.

 

Traducción: ¡¡¡Una pequeña fan de Joey Votto MUY feliz esta noche a la hora de dormir!!! ¡Una vez más, un enorme agradecimiento a Joey Votto y a los @Reds por hacer que el primer partido de la MLB de Abigail fuera tan especial y memorable!

 

Abigail: ¡¡Esperamos que la próxima vez que asistas a tu próximo partido tengas más suerte!!

Young Reds fan has the worst luck attending games after she came to see Jesse Winker, who was ejected in Mariners-Angels brawl

Every time she comes to a game, her favorite players get ejected!

After stumbling upon this on Monday morning, I seriously couldn’t believe it.

Let’s go back one year ago — literally, almost to the day. Six-year-old Cincinnati Reds fan Abigail had come to Great American Ballpark to watch her favorite player, Joey Votto.

But then he argued with the home plate umpire and was ejected. Abagail, justifiably, was crushed and sad. But Votto signed a ball for her that said, “I am sorry I didn’t play the entire game.”

That was a pretty good outcome despite what happened, I’d say!

A year later, Abigail attended Sunday’s Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels game … and a huge brawl led to former Red Jesse Winker (who she came to see) ejected.

Yeah, it happened AGAIN. But she got something from Winker to make up for it:

An awesome Mariners fan ordered a pizza to cheer up Jesse Winker after he was ejected in huge Angels brawl

This is the best.

It was a wild Sunday for the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels, with a massive brawl that started after Jesse Winker got hit with a pitch (that came after the Angels threw behind Julio Rodriguez’s head, which appeared to be retaliation after Erik Swanson nearly hit Mike Trout on Saturday).

Winker was ejected, not the best of days for him.

But then, a fan decided to order him a pizza to cheer him up. And Winker got it! Pizza is definitely a way to turn someone’s rough day around.

Let’s run through the whole thing for Winker, starting with his reaction to the crowd after the ejection and ending with pizza:
