IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

seawolf17 Aug 30 2019 06:48 AM

Zack Wheeler vs Aaron Nola. Rematch of the July 7 game (where Diaz spit the bit), which was a rematch of the June 27 game (where Jay Stupid Bruce homered twice). Both of those were won by the Phillies so FUCK IT, WE'RE DUE. Bryce Harper has a .664 OPS vs Wheeler. Hoskins has a single, a double, and 8 Ks in 19 PAs. EFF THESE GUYS. Meanwhile, McNeil has five hits in 16 AB vs Nola. Alonso homered off him. LET'S GO. GET THESE FUCKERS TONIGHT. (Side Phillies note: this happened the other night, which was kind of neat.)

I'm not in this for the spoiling (yet), but if it can't be us, it would be swell if it's not the Brycemen of the Delaware Valley.

I was trying to think of something to supplant 'when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor' but guess it's best no to mess with gold... NYM (67‑66) Zack Wheeler (RHP, 9-7, 4.52) PHI (69‑63) Aaron Nola (RHP, 12-4, 3.53)

Jeff McNeil – RF Pete Alonso – 1B Michael Conforto – CF J.D. Davis – LF Joe Panik – 2B Amed Rosario – SS Todd Frazier – 3B René Rivera – C Zack Wheeler – RHP

The Mets are only two and a half in back of Philly? That can't be allowed to stand. The Mets are batting Pete Alonso second, hitting Joe Panik fifth, and sitting the hottest batter in the league JUST TO FUCK WITH YOU, Gabe Kapler. Just to fuck with you.

Well, Darvish was struggling coming into this week's series ... and we got one run off of him Lester was struggling even more than Darvish ... and we got one run off of him Nola is decidedly NOT struggling coming into this series ... so maybe we'll kick the shit out of him. That's really poor logic, but it's all I got. Except that Harper is having a hot August (which still just brings his season up to mediocre by his standards), that Mikael Franco is in the minors at the present time (and you could look it up), and that Rhys Hoskins mostly isn't hitting [.138/.327/.276 in August ... that's a LOT of friggin' walks] AND he can't field no matter where they put him.

Keith talking the MEts pitchers hitting. Read my post?

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 06:41 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Chili, I don't care if you have to get up there and swing the bat yourself. Your hitters need to start producing runz.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 06:43 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Dickerson looks like the Phils' answer to Jeff McNeil.

Fman99 Aug 30 2019 06:58 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

I enjoyed hearing Mex rant about the awful slide that cost the Phillies a run there.

I'm having mixed feelings about Ramos here, but he's been elevating everything.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 07:23 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

DRAMOS!

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2019 07:27 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Always fun when you IW a guy to load the bases and get to their pitcher because you KNOW that they're not going to PH for him ... and then get out of the inning because of it and THEN have that pitcher not last the next half inning (got just one out). And that's got to be at least the third time in this hitting streak that Ramos has extended it only after entering late game.

And the recent RiSP numbers go down even further. With two on base (Rosario's AB) and then later with three on: a pop-out, line-out, and pop-out were sandwiched around Ramos's single.

And it's RiSP time again ... AND IT'S ANOTHER FUCKIN' POP-UP!!!!

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2019 07:46 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

And it's RiSP time again (JD Davis) ... AND IT'S ANOTHER FUCKIN' POP-UP!!!!

Isn't this park supposed to be a launching pad?

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2019 07:49 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Take Two (Panik): Walk

DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON THIS TEAM. 3-1 on the huge Rosario single.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Pitcher just spit into his hat and put it back on. AND THAT WAS A BAD-LUCK MOVE!!

Also, I apologize for all the bad things I thought or said about Todd Frazier.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2019 08:03 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Philly pitching needed to face 21 NYM plate appearances in order to get the first 18 outs. It then took them 15 PA to get the next six.

A 10-pitch inning for Diaz. Ten pitches was the first batter total for him -- whether he retired the hitter or not -- for much of this season.

seawolf17 Aug 30 2019 08:08 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

I like this new old good Diaz.

It wasn't Mets season when my first child was born, we watched a lot of VIKINGS during late feedings. Nice to have the somewhat-relevant Mets on tv for the second kid...

G-Fafif Aug 30 2019 08:15 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

I take it we've decided this isn't over.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 08:16 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Harper's hair looks so 1993 Phils.

Fman99 Aug 30 2019 08:17 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Bats that have been asleep all week finally have awoken. Now 11-1.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 08:17 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

That would have gotten out of Dodger Stadium. Keep burning the Phils' pen. Always nice to see in Game One of a series.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2019 08:18 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

Can we save some of these runs and apply them to games played earlier in the week?

Elster88 Aug 30 2019 08:21 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

I would like eleven more wins in a row after this one. Am I being unreasonable? LGM.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 08:30 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

That's what you get for walking dudes with a 10-run lead, Mazzilli.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2019 08:33 PM Re: IGT 8/30 NYM at PHI - This isn't over until WE DECIDE IT IS

I love you, Gary, but bitching about the metric system groups you in with the likes of Tucker Carlson.

Sorry. Cohen brought up the Metric System. Talk to him.

OK, yes 11 in a row is about what it takes. Piece of cake
