Rubber game, you see. A 4:05 start, David Peterson vs. Aaron Nola.

I am glad you posted this so I know now to watch it. 4pm your time is my sweetspot - dinner finished and tidy up done (with a bit of luck) and so perfect timing to relax of an evening :)

Thought this was a one o'clocker, four o'clocker much better on a weekday. #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

The obvious first take on this is that McNeil is sitting.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 07 2021 12:04 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Davis as well

Edgy MD Apr 07 2021 12:09 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Davis is likely resting after yesterday's hit-by-pitch. McNeil is more interesting, but I'm going to again suggest that it was Rojas' plan all along to break the seal on Villar for this game, which was supposed to be game six, rather than game three. Also interesting is who is not sitting, with McCann getting the day-game-after-a-night-game start.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2021 01:23 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

He's not particularly in a funk. He's hitting the ball hard most times up, but they just aren't dropping in.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2021 01:41 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

As noted above, I imagine it's just the scheduled day to get Villar into a game.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 07 2021 01:54 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

He could have done that without taking McNeil out of the lineup, since Davis is sitting. I definitely see the point about getting Villar some playing time, but it seems Rojas also wants to give McNeil a day off. Speaking of McNeil, while watching the game yesterday I kept being reminded of Fman's revelation that McNeil does tiny little turds. Maybe that has something to do with the day off??

Lefty Specialist Apr 07 2021 01:58 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

McNeil is pressing. I don't have a problem with this. Guillorme is going to be the backup third baseman (and the starter if JD gets of to a bad start).

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 07 2021 02:32 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

David Peterson honoring Tim Peterson by pitching like an independent-league hurler

G-Fafif Apr 07 2021 02:33 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Peterson on the fritz. Somebody get Mrs. Kekich up in the pen.

Lefty Specialist Apr 07 2021 02:40 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Looks like Peterson decided to have his sophomore slump all in one inning.

bmfc1 Apr 07 2021 02:52 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

I'd have pinch-hit there but I'd also have started McNeil so what do I know?

LWFS Apr 07 2021 03:01 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

I was under the impression we TRADED Matz?

LWFS Apr 07 2021 03:08 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

2 on, 0 out, Conforto strides to the plate. We got a STEW going. https://images.app.goo.gl/TLWSXXDA7zzR53uV6>

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 07 2021 03:12 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Polar Bear with an RBI single. Smitty the tying run up

LWFS Apr 07 2021 03:18 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Nice offspeed pitch to lock up Smith.

Lefty Specialist Apr 07 2021 03:19 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Once again, they get 'em on, but they can't get 'em in.

bmfc1 Apr 07 2021 03:20 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

It's so good that Luis felt the need to get Villar some ABs, especially at McNeil's expense.

kcmets Apr 07 2021 03:45 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Confortoboom would be nice here.

bmfc1 Apr 07 2021 03:49 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Swing the fucking bat!

Frayed Knot Apr 07 2021 03:49 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

A Confortoswing would be a nice start.

Right, wtf?

Edgy MD Apr 07 2021 03:55 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Man, I'll never get over how much of the field teams are giving batters. McCutch could have bunted a double there.

TransMonk Apr 07 2021 04:02 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Lotsa LOB

Edgy MD Apr 07 2021 04:08 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

That's the way it's done, Harper.

Lefty Specialist Apr 07 2021 04:14 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Realmuto goes 'Boyoyong' on Jacob Barnes.

LWFS Apr 07 2021 04:16 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

I thought Lucchesi was "available out of the bullpen." Ain't a 5th-inning/need some length outing what you're looking for from a 5th starter on holiday?

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 07 2021 04:16 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

Difference in this series: Phil's win their mismatch, Mets fuck up theirs.

bmfc1 Apr 07 2021 04:20 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

If it was so important to get Villar "involved" (per Luis) at the expense of starting McNeil, then why didn't he get Nido "involved", too? There is no urgency with Luis. He sits Dom and then lets Pillar bat against a righty with the bases loaded. He sits McNeil today to get Villar "involved". He doesn't PH McNeil in the 2d down 4 with 2-on. Maybe these moves will pay off eventually but there's nothing wrong with managing with a sense of urgency.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 07 2021 04:23 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

The booth was kinda kicking the Mets ass up for not knowing how to pitch Realmuto. Ronnie called it that JT Likes to swing first pitch with a new reliever. The Phillies dugout called that he would be swinging on first pitch. And he got a nice, first pitch meatball and smoked it.

Frayed Knot Apr 07 2021 04:24 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

I'm starting to feel a bit pessimistic about this game.

Frayed Knot Apr 07 2021 04:58 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

2/3 of the game in the books and we're not even at the three hour mark yet!

Fman99 Apr 07 2021 07:13 PM Re: IGT #3 Mets @ Phils Apr 7 2021 "Boyoyong"

This was some stir fried monkey shit.
