If you are not already watching LLWS, the Mets just landed at Williamsport Airport and will soon board buses to Lamade. Phillies got here just a bit before them

Frayed Knot Aug 19 2018 04:57 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

I find it a bit odd that the Mets both flew from Baltimore to Philly (something like 18 minutes) earlier this week, and then again from Philly to Williamsport today. While 18 minutes is shirley shorter than driving it, once the park to airport and then airport to hotel times are factored in, it hardly seems worth the trouble. Today's trip I suspect has more to do with the ballplayers not wanting to overnight on a Saturday in a town not up to their usual hotel/nightlife standards while bussing AND playing in the same day was considered too much of a burden. And whereas leagues usually have rules against scheduling flights the same day as a game, this was probably waived due to the one-time nature of the destination.

Well to be fair, there aren’t too many rooms available in the area during these two weeks.

Bowman Field will be the 59th ballpark to serve as host of a Mets regular-season game, per UMDB.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 19 2018 08:05 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

And... there's one ballpark where they've played post-season but not regular-season games: Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.

I thought you might have had it listed within the ballparks section since you include postseason games for final appearances where applicable (Kevin Mitchell, for example).

I would have thought so too, but I guess I'm forgetting how that website works!

Love seeing all the photos on social of the Mets hanging around with the Little Leaguers. Looks like they're having some fun.

This game is for another series win (currently 2-2) and to maintain our .500 or better record since July 1st [9-9 in July, 12-12 in August]

MFS62 Aug 19 2018 09:30 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

They must have not wanted Vargas to continue embarrassing himself in front of a major league paying crowd. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 19 2018 10:18 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

I just heard on the pregame the guys are all getting a 15k bonus for playing this game, which might explain all the happy tweets. also, Dom Smith is back as they get a 26th for this game, may stay on. I guess Reinheimer shouldn't put down a deposit on a apartment.

Nice to see the Mets lineup announced and the players run to the foul line--it was almost like the post-season. Any chance that Nimmo is back soon?

41Forever Aug 19 2018 11:06 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

Love this segment with Conforto and Kingery as kids, showing them swing then morphing into their present-day swings!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 19 2018 11:29 PM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

I'd like to observe that the Phillies aren't very good. They are plenty okay but not very good.

Ashie62 wrote: Unis and pallpark look great It's a great park. Crosscutters have loyal fans no matter who the parent team is. Always a good time. Outfield walls usually have local businesses on them of course. My daughter worked in the gift shop one summer.

4-0 good guys

me too :D

Mets have six hits in 10 trips to the plate, and three strikeouts. Apart from catching Rosario stealing, the Phils aren't being asked to make a whole lot of outs in the field.

Vargy wiggled out of that one. Need some more runs!

Kevin has a chance to make this Komical. Later

McNeil!!!! Brings in two before getting hung up.

Wow. Vargy is even hitting well tonight!

Edgy MD Aug 20 2018 01:10 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

He might end up the all-time MLB wins leader for Williamsport. ¡¡Viva El Niño!!

Frayed Knot Aug 20 2018 01:11 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

That was Vargas's second hit of the season and the his [u:1gwveb3m]first game[/u:1gwveb3m] where he had 3 PAs

41Forever Aug 20 2018 01:11 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

And El Nino brings in another. On one hand I think the kid sitting behind ARod is funny. On another, I'm surprised a producer hasn't sent him on a mission to the furthest concession stand in the park and told him to take his time.

41Forever Aug 20 2018 01:12 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

Not sure they are doing Jessica any favors by showing her sliding down a mud hill in Daisy Dukes.

41Forever Aug 20 2018 01:22 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

Might be time to get someone warming up in the pen.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2018 01:24 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

Here comes the hook. Conforto doing an uncomfortable amount of fielding this inning.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 20 2018 01:25 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

I have to say, I like Arod the announcer way more than Arod the player. he truly loves baseball, almost at a geek level.

She did that yesterday when it was especially muddy and said it was ‘awesome’ They didn’t used to have a dedicated area for sliding and sitting on that hill you were liable to get slid into once upon a time. That plus you have to be 80% mountain goat to sit there in the first place :)

41Forever Aug 20 2018 01:36 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

They've done a nice job with the kid interviews.

This MLB presentation has little in common with the little league experience. Like an awards show. WTG Vargas

A Dom Smith sighting!

Edgy MD Aug 20 2018 01:58 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

And he racks up an RBI double!!

bmfc1 Aug 20 2018 02:05 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

With a Mets win, the Nationals, the prohibitive favorites in the East who are under .500, will be as close to 4th place as they are to first place. So sad.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2018 02:09 AM Re: IGT 08/19 - NYM at PHI - Just A Little Bit

Contributions from both D. Smiths in one game.

Go, Mets! Won the long series, and had a sweep close to within reach.

Rosario is really hitting well since being put at the top of the order. Later

Bowman Field joins Target Field as the only venues in which the Mets have posted a 1.000 winning percentage.

It might be a little late to save the season for the SHaMs. But maybe the fourth quarter? FoQuaMs?
