The Mets paid J.D. Martinez back by catching him in a hilarious and bizarre rundown

J.D. Martinez ended the Mets' comeback hopes on Saturday night when he threw out Jay Bruce at the plate. Not to worry, the Mets paid him back for that one with a perfectly executed and incredibly bizarre rundown in their 3-1 victory over the Tigers on Sunday. 
With the Tigers threatening to take the lead in the bottom of the eighth with runners at first and second, Casey McGehee hit a ground ball to the first-base hole. The easy out didn't happen as James Loney and Neil Walker treated the baseball as if it was made of flubber as it made its way out to right field. 

... unless that was by design. Perhaps the Mets had decided to make a daring "Ocean's 11"-style con to pay Martinez back for his throw on Saturday. With the ball trickling into right field, Martinez rounded third. He had a choice to make: Run for home and risk getting nailed at the plate like he had done to Bruce the day before or hang back. It was a tough decision. With an angel and demon on each shoulder, he was stuck: 

Unfortunately, he waited too long and Justin Upton had already started to make his way to third. The Mets now had their chance to swarm. Led by Curtis Granderson, the team went all-out blitz. While the formation wasn't as visually interesting as the "Flying V" formation from "Mighty Ducks," or the mooning scene in "Braveheart" it surely inspired dread and fear in Martinez's soul. 

As Michael Conforto told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo after the game: 
 "That was one of the weirder plays I've been a part of. I thought for sure Martinez was going to go home and score. He must have thought that Neil had the ball because he stopped at third. It was hilarious to watch Grandy run through the infield and kind of not really know where to go with the ball. But he did an awesome job, froze the guy, got him in a rundown. We executed that play well when they kind of had a little bit of a breakdown there."
Put it all together and what do you have: Payback.
