When the New York Mets locked up a wild-card spot with their thrilling Game 1 doubleheader win over the Braves on Monday, it answered the first part of the Diamondbacks’ playoff question. And, man, did the D-backs ever jump onboard the Mets bandwagon.
Basically, the three-game tie for two wild-card spots meant that the Braves and Mets would clinch playoff spots with a win in either leg of their doubleheader. But if the Game 1 winner (the Mets) — with nothing to play for — was able to sweep the Braves, it would send the Diamondbacks to the postseason as the National League’s final wild-card team.
So, once that Game 1 went final, the D-backs took to Twitter with a shameless (and excellent) tweet. For one game, they are Mets fans.

Well played, D-backs.
MLB fans also loved how the Diamondbacks embraced this wild final-day scenario.
This was how Twitter/X reacted
