The league deemed the pitches \u201cintentional,\u201d leading to the discipline that also included Lopez being fined and suspended for three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bench coach Glenn Sherlock, who filled in for Showalter, said they found out about the manager\u2019s suspension about 40-45 minutes before the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were surprised,\u201d Sherlock said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lopez, who was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, threw inside to Schwarber in the ninth inning before hitting Alec Bohm with a changeup. The sequence came after Phillies pitcher Christopher Sanchez plunked Francisco Lindor in the bottom of the eighth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/buck-showalter-suspended-mets-phillies-braves.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Buck Showalter<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Sabo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Showalter has been vocal about his displeasure with the Mets getting hit by pitches plenty this season \u2014 an MLB-high 20 times entering Monday. The veteran manager also missed a game earlier this season to undergo a medical procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It marked the second time this season Lopez has been disciplined by MLB for almost hitting a batter. The right-hander also got fined after throwing up-and-in to Nolan Arenado last week, which led to the benches clearing against the Cardinals. Lindor and Eduardo Escobar ultimately teamed up to pay the fine for Lopez.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Chris Bassitt had to bear down in the fifth inning after thinking he had a 1-2-3 frame \u2014 only for his two-out, 2-2 pitch to Dansby Swanson to be called a ball. Bassitt began striding off the mound until he found out the at-bat was still going. He went on to walk Swanson, then hit Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. with a pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But after Bassitt got Matt Olson to pop out to end the threat, home plate umpire Chad Fairchild patted his chest as if to say, \u201cMy bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bassitt also apologized for \u201cshowing you up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think umpires have one of the hardest jobs in the world and I have no issue if an umpire misses a call,\u201d Bassitt said. \u201cThat happens. But especially when an umpire accepts that, what am I going to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Brandon Nimmo robbed Acu\u00f1a of extra bases to end the seventh inning, racing back to the warning track to make a leaping catch at the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>After giving the Mets a strong temporary replacement for the injured Taijuan Walker, David Peterson will be called up to make another cameo Tuesday in the doubleheader against the Braves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Pete\u2019 deserved to stay here,\u201d Showalter said before Monday\u2019s game. \u201cHe didn\u2019t do anything . So, glad to get him back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 14 innings, Peterson has given up just one run on nine hits and five walks while striking out 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buck Showalter was not in the dugout Monday night when the Mets kicked off a big series against the Braves.\u00a0 Shortly before first pitch, MLB announced it had<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":505,"featured_media":1481368,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1461779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/505"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1461779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1481368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1461779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1461779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1461779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
