IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Mets will try to score earlier, oftener. But whatever it takes. David Peterson vs. Phillie hitters. Matt Moore vs. Met hitters.

Looked like a catch to me.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 06:34 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Seemed like a silly play to burn a challenge on. The only thing that makes that look like anything but a clean catch is wishful thinking. Cutch is like Ralph Malph. He's still got it.

Rafael Marchan is listed at 5'9" and looks about three or four inches shorter.

Hey, Keith, you held on Joaquin Andujar.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 06:42 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

I always find it odd when they change the booth alignment in Game Two of a doubleheader. If Keith was showing up for work today, you might as well use him both games and give him a full day off on another day. Here he is showing up for Game Two of the doubleheader like he's a backup catcher.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 06:43 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

And on that cue, we get a story of Keith's misadventures getting to the park.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 06:45 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Keith doesn't have a GPS?

Man, Peterson looked like the worst bunter since Pedro Martinez for his first two attempts, and then he gets a perfect one down on his last try.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 07:02 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Bohm can really be a big old baby.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2021 07:19 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

This isn't quite '99, at least not yet. But it's starting to have that same kind of feeling about it where you find yourself semi-surprised when even a hard hit ball isn't turned into an out by the infield.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 07:25 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Last night, I was wondering who Gary was watching as a minor league Braves announcer. My first guess was Ron Gant, and he confirms that tonight.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 07:27 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Isn't any hit to Bohm a butcher boy play? OHHHHH!

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 07:36 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Shmeterson seems to have found his confidence.

Here we go, Billy Batts

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:00 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

It got quiet in here. Good to have company. Mets have Pillar, Guillorme, Almora, Mazeika, Peterson due up. Conforto, McSkinny, McCann, Peraza, and Blankenhorn available off the bench.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:00 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

McKinney for Pillar. Hmmm ...

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:03 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Hmmm ... my ass!

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 25 2021 08:05 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Go Phillies infield

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:06 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Amazin' that Girardi even left Bohm in there.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 25 2021 08:08 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Here we go Mazeek

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 25 2021 08:12 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

McCann comes through, like a rock n roll dream

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:13 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Wow. I was wondering if Guillorme might try for the super-rare two-base tag-up there.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:14 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

The double walkoff on 7/31/83 was the double-header featuring Jesse Orosco winning both ends.

Gwreck Jun 25 2021 08:19 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Wait, why isn't Diaz in the game?

bmfc1 Jun 25 2021 08:20 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Why is SRF pitching? He was bad enough to get sent down last week and now he's pitching in a tie-game?

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:20 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

I love SR-F as much as the next guy, but yeah, he's certainly not my first choice. (Unless bmfc is the next guy.)

Marshmallowmilkshake Jun 25 2021 08:21 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Ouch. Let's get one or two in!

bmfc1 Jun 25 2021 08:22 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

SRF didn't do anything wrong and the IF didn't do their jobs. Lindor had him at 3d and Guillorme had him at the plate.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2021 08:22 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Also ... Conforto doesn't stay in the game?

Not often where a team scores a run in a four pitch inning where nothing leaves the infield until the 3rd out ... but that's MLB circa 2021

Gwreck Jun 25 2021 08:24 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

No, seriously. Diaz is the team's best reliever, he didn't pitch in game 1, Thursday was an off day, there is no save chance. Either he's hurt or this is managerial malpractice.

Fibble.

bmfc1 Jun 25 2021 08:31 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

The offense still sucks. Pete has become a singles hitter. Maybe he should bat leadoff like Schwarber to wake him up.

I like this idea. Shakeup definitely necessary, this offensive output can't continue.

batmagadanleadoff Jun 25 2021 08:52 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

The offense still sucks..... It's the ball. Look at the Mets numbers. They truly are right out of 1968. They're atrocious and they're team-wide. Also, the Mets are using a humidor this season. This is getting almost no attention in the media but must be having a significant run suppressing effect because Citi Field is the second best pitcher's park this season. The only park that's suppressing offense even more so than Citi is Marlins Park and that's yet another thing: three of the four most run suppressing parks this season are in the NL East - Citi Field, Marlins Park and Nats Park. So Mets hitters are disproportionately batting in extreme pitcher's parks in 2021. This is all also why deGrom's so unhittable this season. For a player to be performing at such an extreme record-setting level, as deGrom is doing - to be doing something that hasn't ever been done in a game that's been played for over 150 years, everything has to be going the player's way. He has to be the best in the majors at what he's doing, but also, conditions have to be in his favor. 2021 MLB park effects: https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor

Lefty Specialist Jun 26 2021 06:03 AM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Why would the Mets use a humidor? This isn't exactly Phoenix.

Gwreck Jun 26 2021 07:38 AM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

“Edwin Diaz (five-out save on Wednesday) and Aaron Loup (three innings pitched on Tuesday) were both unavailable tonight, per Rojas.” https://twitter.com/deeshathosar/status/1408620373868826626?s=21 —- Of course they lost because they couldn't score runs, but with a 4 run lead there was no need to put Diaz back out for the 9th inning on Wednesday. Especially if that was going to make him unavailable for both games of a DH on Friday. Not good, Luis.

I'm in. Maybe he can steal another base.

Lefty Specialist wrote: Why would the Mets use a humidor? This isn't exactly Phoenix. I can't think of a single reason. Citi Field was always a pitcher's park, in every aspect, suppressing hits, scoring and home runs. So why a humidor? Several other teams have also added humidors for this season, contributing to this season's historic lack of offense.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2021 09:35 PM Re: IGT 6/25/2021 (2): PHI@NYM — Let’s Dip Again

Maybe Alonso's on to something.
