IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

bmfc1 Aug 06 2021 09:09 PM Edited 3 time(s), most recently on Aug 07 2021 11:38 AM

The second-place Mets play the first-place Phillies at 4:05 PM (SNY and FS1). At a minimum, you won't waste your entire evening on the Mets, just the late afternoon and early evening. And remember what Keith said, "it's only a game" (I know he's Keith Hernandez but go F yourself). Our hopes are on the arm of a player that didn't pitch above AA before 2021, Tylor Megill (RHP) who is facing Ranger Suarez (LHP) who has been moved into the rotation. He hasn't gone more than 3 innings which seems like nothing but that's just 2 innings less than the typical Mets starter. Kevin Pillar has hit a HR against Suarez so I'm guessing that he's the starting CF tomorrow. Or RF. Or LF.

Time to turn this around. Tylor Megill goes up against Ranger Suarez and his loyal wolf Fang.

Did we cross-IGT? Maybe it's a good omen.

Being in first for about 80 straight days was fun. They need a win to stop the free fall and continue to stay above .500 Pretty quiet on the Lindor front. 341 million for this hot dog. Ugh

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 11:39 AM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Do you have confidence in the 5 through 8 of that lineup? Or any of it?

Rojas to Michael, Dominic and Jeff -- ya wanna suck, you're gonna sit.

ashie62 Aug 07 2021 01:20 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

This lineup looks like the bench mob one that played well during the injuries. You could suggest to the team that they may be playing for Luis' job.

Lefty Specialist Aug 07 2021 01:41 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Will. Not. Watch. I'm exhausted by this team.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 02:08 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Luis "stacks" the lineup against a lefty starter which makes sense except that he's not going for more than 3 or 4 so what will Luis do then?

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 02:16 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

The game is also on FS1 with Don Orsillo, play-by-play and A.J. Pierzynski, color.

ashie62 Aug 07 2021 03:12 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

3rd inning, no hits by either team. Suarez is out.

Luis "stacks" the lineup against a lefty starter which makes sense except that he's not going for more than 3 or 4 so what will Luis do then? Luis PH's Conforto for Drury which means that he has lost Drury for one 2d inning AB.

The dreaded leadoff man on again.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 03:28 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Let's see Baez steal second. He's not going to get there any other way.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 03:35 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

That line out by McCann was the first ball out of the infield by the Mets. Four GOs plus 8 Ks to go along with the walks and the one IF single.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 03:52 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Look what can happen when you let the pitcher swing the bat.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 04:06 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

1-0 and threatening for more. Insurmountable lead?

All this after Ken Rosenthal's breathless report about the greatness of Megill. Hell of a play by Villar who peaked two months ago and someone needs to tell Luis (last night's HR notwithstanding). I'd almost rather see Ty Kelly than another minute of Villar.

ashie62 Aug 07 2021 04:25 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Brutal.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 04:36 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

This is just fucking pathetic. Nothing off the bat in this series (or the last one for that matter) even resembles a hit including the few hits they do have (7 in 15 innings). If it weren't for walks and grounders to Bohm we wouldn't have any baserunners.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 04:42 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

But while the game itself is horrid, ar least it's long and slow. Over 2-1/2 hours just to get through six

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 04:45 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

McCann is Nido but making way more money.

This is the type of game where new owner Steve Cohen goes ballistic and in mid season lops off a few heads. Could not blame him.

The Hot Corner Aug 07 2021 05:15 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Wow, this offense is really inept. Frustrating to watch. Being a Mets fan, I should be accustomed to it by now,

The Hot Corner Aug 07 2021 05:24 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Wow. This team is tough to watch.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 05:35 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Another day, another clutch 9th inning HR by the Mets

The Hot Corner Aug 07 2021 05:36 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

The only suspense left in this game is whether can get a third hit or not. Staring their 9th shut out square in the face. Woo Hoo! A meaningless home run to (somewhat) save face.

2 meaningless homers

Do I hear 4 and 5.

The Hot Corner Aug 07 2021 05:42 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Now Villar follows with a home run. 5-2 ball game with no outs in the 9th. Too little too late. If another hitter reaches base for the Mets, the Phillies will simply counter with a true MLB pitcher to close it out. McCann goes yoard for back-bacl-back HRs to open the 9th. Game over, though as the Phillies bring in Kennedy. The Mets will likely not get another hit.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2021 05:43 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

NYM bats seemed to be Lloving that Philly pitcher.

seawolf17 Aug 07 2021 05:54 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Jeez. Six high strikes, six swings and misses.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2021 05:54 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Fastballs in the strike zone were too much for Pete and JD. Too bad that Dave Jauss wasn't the pitcher.

The Hot Corner Aug 07 2021 05:57 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

Kennedy knew what he was doing. Once the walks put a RISP, the Mets were dead in the water. 6 fastballs, six swing and misses from the Mets hitters. Same old Mets. Now they have to try to salvage at one win in the series against Wheeler tomorrow.

seawolf17 Aug 07 2021 06:00 PM Re: IGT 8/7/21 - NYM @ PHI - Because It's More Than A Game

And when the Braves beat the Nats tonight, we'll be in third. This fuckin' team, man.
