IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

G-Fafif Apr 11 2022 07:11 AM

We're starting a Walker (Taijuan). It's not in Texas. They're starting a Ranger (Suarez). 6:45 PM from Philadelphia, on SNY.

Ranger Suarez is a fat, lefthanded Venezuelan who was a middle reliever, closer and starter for the Phils last year, turning in a 1.36 ERA when it was all over. Had visa issues and an abbreviated spring so they'll probably limit his pitches. Does anyone know what we'll get out of Walker? I'm declaring this a Big Game.

Not expecting much either. Getting back to back decent starts out of Carrasco and Walker feels like a stretch. Rangers has turned into a serviceable SP. Lets see the Mets come off the deck after losing to a team that has pot pourri as a logo on their uniform.

Canó, McNeil, and Smitty sit vs. the lefty, but Guillorme gets in there. I wonder how long it'll take for Buck to repeat a lineup.

cal sharpie Apr 11 2022 01:51 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

JD Davis still hasn't played the field. Escobar has played a bunch of second in his career, they could have given JD a game with a glove and left Guillorme on the bench where he should be.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2022 02:29 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

By tomorrow morning and into perpetuity, this evening's matchup will be known as the Guillorme Guame.

kcmets Apr 11 2022 03:00 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Unless JD hits a three-run pinch-hit Kaboomer to win it. Stay tuned... Is this really a 6:45 first pitch or is that like when coverage begins?

Guess pinch hitting will be difficult when you're the starting DH. Duh.

You've heard of F-Bombs, the Philly 3Bman is dropping E-Bohms

Edgy MD Apr 11 2022 06:10 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Strange to say, but I found myself rooting for Bohm on that double-play.

Nice guest appearance by Ken Rosenthal.

Mets not tacking on and letting the Phils hang around.

Peterson star of the game thus far.

When was the last time a Mets team could win by playing better d than the other guys?

Edgy MD Apr 11 2022 06:43 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Peterson just struck out Harper looking, but when the ump blew the call, got him on a slider swinging. Pitching like a man tonight. A manly man.

Marshmallowmilkshake Apr 11 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Did Walker get hurt? Looks like Peterson is doing well.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2022 06:50 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Not particularly helpful for the infielders to converge for a mound conference in a bunting situation if the thirdbaseman isn't paying attention. [FIMG=600]https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/screen-shot-2022-04-11-at-8.47.52-pm.png[/FIMG]

Great job by McCann sliding in for run #4 just ahead of Harper's throw, but I was thinking that it was a good time to pinch-run.

You can't stop McCann's speed you can only hope to contain it.

Yah, four scoreless with not much notice to get warm is pretty damn good. Which also bodes well for Walker's next turn when it comes up.

I had assumed it was his knee again which is what troubled him in his last ST start, but GKR have reported it was due to shoulder discomfort.

Well that's why you build four run leads, so you can withstand three run comebacks.

Fman99 Apr 11 2022 07:33 PM Re: IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

Yah I thought that too. Also, to his credit, after serving up the meatball to Realmuto, Joel-E came back to get the strong K on Harper.

I guess we are still wanting for a manager who will (1) insist that hitters learn how to bunt and (2) insist that they bunt for free base hits when leading off the 9th down one run.

Sometimes the button-pushing just turns out wrong (although May starting a 2d inning was a surprise).
