IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

We're back after a first game loss. First inning already played with an Alonso homer giving the Mets a 2-0 lead. Bassitt squeezed out of the bottom half after a dubious balk put runners at second and third.

Jean, Jean, the Met-Killing Machine solos a shot to right and cuts the Mets' lead in half. Homer #100 for Segura — and 11th against the Mets, more than against any other team.

Jankowski gets both games on the bench. Harsh. The loneliness here is palpable.

Roman Quinn seemingly covers a lot more ground than Odubel Herrera.

I know that Nido isn't used to being on base but that was pathetic.

Yet Keef said he was up for it.

Interestingly, Keith agreed with the send/aggressiveness: would take an on-target throw to get him at third, and it was a very close play even with a good throw. I think that one's on Joey Cora/Buck, less on Nido.

Pete Alonso loves his mother.

McNeil's tightening up again.

Quinn saves another run.

I'm not seeing this Belatti character fooling anybody. Everything's flat.

The Hot Corner May 08 2022 04:36 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

Bassitt sharp again. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he is tenacious and just knows how to pitch. Reminds me a little of Hershiser in that respect.

The Hot Corner May 08 2022 04:41 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

Girardi decides not to pinch hit for the youngster Stott with chance to close the gap and Shreve carves him up to end the inning.

Phillies D is the gift that just keeps giving. Hoskins boots an easy grounder to allow the leadoff Met (Lindor) to reach.

Edgy MD May 08 2022 04:51 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

It's also why they probably won't be hanging around at the end of the year. Hoskins just kneeling down after booting that ball was a bad look. That's still a live ball, man. Quinn is impressive though. Chance to break it open with the bags jacked here.

The Hot Corner May 08 2022 04:54 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

J.D. hit it well, but Quinn was shading him toward right and easily made the catch.

Boy, I'd like to say that a 6-1 lead in the 8th is a lock, but ya know...............

I've been working in the yard and listening to Howie and Wayne. Hilarious discussion about Howies college DJ career. Go Drew Smith

The Hot Corner May 08 2022 05:16 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

Drew Smith makes short work of the Phillies 2-3-4 hitters.

Not a crowded thread, but a series win against division opposition is the way to go.

Lefty Specialist May 08 2022 05:35 PM Re: IGT 05/08 - NYM @ PHI - Game 2

Six games up on the Braves and Marlins. More of this please.
