IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Edgy MD Apr 29 2022 08:48 PM

Taijuan Walker returns for the Mets, building on a no-hitter as they try to sink the Phils, now in third place, five games behind. Five games behind YOUR New York Mets. Phils starter Kyle Gibson has faced Colorado in both his last two starts.

Play a series, win a series. It's what we do.

Edgy MD Apr 29 2022 09:40 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Shreve, Ottavino, and May, among others, still fresh. Look to see Smith in the lineup at DH, or first, or left, and probably Nido catching.

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 04:35 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

I was wondering what would be a good encore. Maybe the Phils breaking their collective oh-fer by getting to Taijuan on his comeback outing and scoring a few runs on him ... only to have NYM bats drop like a 14-spot on them and win by at least a touchdown (plus PAT of course).

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 05:24 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

That's 10 2/3 straight hitless by Mets pitchers.

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 05:38 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

That pickoff erases the hit, right? The streaks's still going?

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 05:43 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Walker notches a scoreless inning by retiring one batter [Hit, Pickoff, Walk, GiDP]

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Nothing wrong with 5 scoreless from Walker coming off an injury. One might even call it Impessive.

kcmets Apr 30 2022 06:46 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Really couldn't ask for anything better. Worthy of a little extra Schaeffer suds than one might normally get for going five scoreless...

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 06:50 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Philly defense, the gift that keeps on giving.

Gwreck Apr 30 2022 06:52 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Nimmo, after sliding in safely, did a *great* celebratory spike of his helmet. Unexpected for Brandon (but great).

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2022 07:11 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Mets scored more runs than they deserved in that bottom-5th but fewer than they should have.

Gwreck Apr 30 2022 07:13 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Nice play by Lindor but then a textbook rundown by Escobar. Well done.

Lefty Specialist Apr 30 2022 07:29 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

McCann is annoying. Francisco Alvarez can't get here fast enough.

bmfc1 Apr 30 2022 07:42 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

The bases-loaded situation, when Escobar and McNeil struck out against that POS, looms large.

This Buttavino guy doesn't impress me

bmfc1 Apr 30 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Down 2, leading off, why did Nimmo swing at the 1st pitch?

Lefty Specialist Apr 30 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Familia vs Alonso. I am intrigued.

He probably gets the benefit of the doubt though? Given his well known plate discipline, there's some value to element-of-surprise?

Except that he first-pitch swung in every AB tonight.

Kind of ruins the surprise angle.

Gwreck Apr 30 2022 08:09 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

It's an all-Einstein crew here in Section 319 tonight: -Guy who insists on saying “that's not a strike” (actually, ump is having a great night) -Guy who keeps saying “that's not a $341 million dollar swing” every time Lindor swings and misses. -Guy who wants to boo Familia for everything. -Guy who keeps saying “think Alex Gordon. It cost us the series!” when Alonso is facing Familia. They just threw a no-hitter, it's a close game, and the Mets have more wins than anyone in MLB. Sometimes I worry about our fanbase.

I think SR-F sprained one of his tattoos.

Fuck these mound visits. You brought him in, either live with him or remove him.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 30 2022 08:31 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Dom needs to start hitting... NOW!!!

Walk works as well

kcmets Apr 30 2022 08:33 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Or walk

Gwreck Apr 30 2022 08:35 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

It is absolute madness for Dom Smith to not be able to bunt and take a free hit when the team is down 3 runs and needs baserunners.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 30 2022 08:39 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Ok now. Zimmo with the bases loaded

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 30 2022 08:40 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Bleh

Gwreck Apr 30 2022 08:40 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Here I would have taken a pitch, Brandon.

kcmets Apr 30 2022 08:41 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Bases left loaded... again...

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 08:41 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

They walk the bases loaded and Nimmo swings at the first pitch?

kcmets Apr 30 2022 08:51 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

2, 3 and 4 up and need a few runs. No biggie, got them right where we want them.

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 08:53 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Every extra pitch you make the closer throw is win.

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 08:59 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

The hero is gonna have to be McNeil.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 30 2022 08:59 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Shit night for Zimmy

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 08:59 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

You don't swing until strike one is called, Escobar.

Edgy MD Apr 30 2022 09:00 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

And that is that.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 30 2022 09:00 PM Re: IGT — 4/30/2022, PHA@NYM, Exit to the Night!

Bullshit call there and we lose

4-1 game, just shy of four hours.
