IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Edgy MD Sep 16 2021 07:14 AM

Wheeler Dealer goes for the Phillies, and the Mets counter with TieOneOn. Mets will have to get the early lead to keep the boobirds from owning the room after that St. Louis crumble, and getting the early lead will be a tall order.

Needs more cowbell.

kcmets Sep 16 2021 07:19 AM Re: IGT, 9/16, PHI@NYM

And the date is wrong, the game is tomorrow the 17th.

Willets Point Sep 16 2021 09:03 AM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

This pitching matchup always reminds me of the Goofy short "Motor Mania" where it's Mr. Walker vs. Mr. Wheeler.

If there's no game tonight are we still allowed to leave runners stranded on 3rd with < 2 outs just for the hell of it?

kcmets Sep 16 2021 01:59 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

They'll probably find a way.

ashie62 Sep 16 2021 02:16 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Mets pretty much need to win all remaining games. The would be an igt streak for the books.

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2021 06:14 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

While we are idle, the Braves were idled (rained out vs Rox). The Phils, OTOH, cough up seven to the Cubs in the 3rd ... then come back with seven in their half of the 4th. So it's 7-7, top 5 ... and I don't think it's ending anytime soon.

kcmets Sep 16 2021 06:29 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Yeah, that's CBP crazy! I was going to post about the 7-sniffle thing and then we ate and I turned it back on and it was 7-7.

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

15.- 8 Phils in the 7th

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2021 08:20 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

17 - 8 is your (3:58) final.

ashie62 Sep 17 2021 05:18 AM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

I guess the Cubs went for two.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2021 02:39 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

OK, so this series is more or less last-stand-ville. I was thinking that even if we swept the Phils the result would be essentially to hand the division to the Braves. But the Braves are in San Fran so they could conceivably lose a few between now and Sunday so a sweep here plus a little damage by SFG and the entire division would tighten up considerably. Of course it would help if they could get some starters past the 4th inning, not leave small armies stranded on bases, stop running the bases like a bunch of drunks, hit a homer maybe with a man or two on occasionally, and, y'know, not suck.

kcmets Sep 17 2021 02:42 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Nimmo supposedly back, not sure if in starting lineup.

Well, Taijuan's ankle broke up the perfect game. Now let's work on this no-hitter.

Overall this season, yes, but he had a good AB there.

ashie62 Sep 17 2021 06:57 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Always tuff against Wheeler.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2021 07:18 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Fukkin' sum-bitch!! If there's a perfect spot to hit it so as to guarantee an easy GiDP we manage to find it. The grounder to Goldschmidt the other day was the most recent example.

Fman99 Sep 17 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Seth Lugo is the Jeff McNeil of pitchers. Because, you know, he sucks.

kcmets Sep 17 2021 07:40 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

While we're at it, replay often sucks too.

The non-reversal costs a run.

They hit Sac Flies with bases loaded, we hit GiDPs

Aside from having a name that his family must've selected during a period when cultural mores against racism were more relaxed, Coonrad seems like he's been hammering Red Bull for about two and a half hours.

Soft hits > Hard outs

Fman99 Sep 17 2021 08:01 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

That was some kind of play there by Didi to get McCann at 2nd.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2021 08:13 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

And, once again, we're over three hours in a low-scoring game and not yet to the bottom of the 8th

Edgy MD Sep 17 2021 08:17 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Get the two big hitters and give up a hit to the .215 guy.

bmfc1 Sep 17 2021 08:17 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Even if the only move that Sandy makes this off-season is to excise Familia then the Mets will be better next year.

2-0 count, tying run ON DECK, Pete should have been taking, right?

CB gets off the CB with the right call.

Yeah but I think this is at least partially also a payback for the pick off they didn't overturn. In any event, the inning continues !

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2021 08:44 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Runner is safe at second (via a challenge which should not have been allowed) and now one AB (and ten minutes) later we can strand him there.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2021 08:46 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

If he reaches, the Mets are down to Nido and Peraza on the bench.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2021 08:53 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Peraza and the top in bottom 9 Let's just hope that there's still just a one run deficit when we get there.

Fman99 Sep 17 2021 08:54 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

Oh, good, now that the game is 3:50 in, let's have a mound conference, umps. Good thinking.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2021 08:59 PM Re: IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

O, Perrazzy, Villar, and Nimmstone, followed by the heart of the order.

It would be hard to be worse, or to duplicate the getting-men-on-base
