IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

bmfc1 Aug 19 2022 10:58 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 19 2022 08:25 PM

The first of 4 in Philadelphia as Chris Bassitt faces Aaron Nola (RHP). Pete has 4 HRs against Nola but Pete doesn't seem to hit HRs anymore... prove me wrong, big guy! And shame on Pete for having Jim Breuer as part of his charity comedy night. Breuer no long yells into his phone for Mets fans but he is a strident anti-vaccer. Shame on Pete for giving that ass a platform. I'm sure that Gary and Ron will chuckle at the Phillies' new graphic ("Keith approved!" whenever there's a good defensive play). Boy, they sure are sensitive in a town that is supposed to be tough... second-rate New York wannabees. Jealous much?

I'm calling this a big series. They're licking a few wounds from ATL, don't have their aces starting and are spotty offensively. This weekend will be a verified mettle tester. Would love to see 2+ wins as a statement.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 11:22 AM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Forgot about the dual-attendance double-dip tomorrow. What me, nervous? Always....

Lefty Specialist Aug 19 2022 11:28 AM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

A little nervous about the rotation of Bassitt and Huminahuminahumina this weekend. Hope they've got their hitting shoes on.

Magic Eight Ball, how many Kabooms will the Mets hit tonight? Seven, of course! It has spoken.

absurdly, that's how many Lindor is going to hit.

Frayed Knot Aug 19 2022 03:45 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Phils have claimed OF Bradley Zimmer off waivers from the Blue Jays as a replacement for Brandon Marsh who went on the IL needing a lube and an oil change ... or maybe it's an ankle sprain and bone bruise, reports I've read are conflicting. And, yeah, it's a big series ... Buuuuut as down as we are for losing three of four, when the earlier NYM/ATL series started the Braves were 3.5 out. And now, after not only winning three of four but also winning six straight in between the two series [BOS x 2, MIA x 4] they're still 3.5 out and there are 15 fewer games on the schedule. The Phils were 10 back when that 5-game NYM/ATL series started and now they're 10.5 back.

Also, Atlanta finally has to play some tougher teams (other than the Mets). They have Houston this weekend and St. Louis next weekend. No more non-stop Miami/Washington

Pete is developing a porn stache

ashie62 Aug 19 2022 05:18 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Shank you very much! 1-0

ashie62 Aug 19 2022 05:20 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Is Vogelbach related to Lucas Duda?

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 05:53 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Terrific inning-ending play by Lindor with two in scoring position.

You're welcome, Mets fans.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 06:07 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Nice work. I hope that means Pete has left behind a back-monkey. I hope Nimmo can do the same.

I sometimes tune in mid-game and see McCann at the plate and briefly think I'm looking at Alonso. They have a similar stature and similar stance. But then McCann swings and he has none of Alonso's confidence.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 06:15 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

McNeil has really become quite the gamer, huh?

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 19 2022 06:41 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

I told my wife during dinner that the Mets were probably pissed coming out if the Braves series and were going to take it out on the Phillies.

nymr83 Aug 19 2022 06:55 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

WOW DOUBLE STEAL OF HOME!

The Hot Corner Aug 19 2022 06:55 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Nicely executed double steal by Lindor and Marte. Speed kills.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 06:55 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Pulling off the second/home double-steal in the same game that the Phils tried to do the same (and the Mets didn't bite) is great.

Frayed Knot Aug 19 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

I've spent most of my life believing that double-steals are things that happen TO the Mets.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 19 2022 07:06 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Got to be all for Nola with 100 pitches.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:09 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Well, Bassitt's scoreless-inning streak is up against the wall.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 07:14 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Two of the hit-by-pitch guys tonight swung/advanced into the oncoming pitch. Get out of the way, two men on first that didn't deserve to be there.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 19 2022 07:18 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

The bulldog might not make it out of the inning.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:20 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

He out. Inning over. Is he actually called "The Bulldog"?

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 19 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Well, I call him that. Orel would probably object.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:28 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Orel can be a real jerk that way. Man, even Marte's fouls are hard tonight.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Vogie needs to lay one down sooner or later.

Man, the strike zone seems like a mystery for Bellatti.

Frayed Knot Aug 19 2022 07:48 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Be nice to bust this one open right here.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 07:48 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Naquin strands three.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:49 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Naquin is lost in the woods, man. I think the monkey is on him too.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 07:50 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Ooops, sorry one more out. But still.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 07:52 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Two in, kids. That pinch-running assignment for Ruf seems like genius right now.

BatyBall!

Frayed Knot Aug 19 2022 07:55 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Naquin + Perez = 7 K's But we tacked on a pair anyway.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 08:02 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Suddenly, Ottavino is borrowing Diaz' slider. Did ya see those two?

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

I guess they're waiting until after this series to give any of their top players a day off, but Marte looks like he needs a blow.

Edgy MD Aug 19 2022 08:18 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Joely now has his ERA down in the fours.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 08:26 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Marte has two doubles tonight, no? I'm fading, trying to hold out for books.

Fman99 Aug 19 2022 08:29 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Tough night for Naquin, 0-5 with 5 Ks.

Oh, yeah, he's hitting everything in sight. He just looks like he's really tender when he's running.



Naquin, on the other hand, couldn't go to bed and hit a mattress right now.

kcmets Aug 19 2022 08:30 PM Re: IGT 08/19/22 - NYM@PHI

Naquin, five K's.

But no help from the freaking Astros. Still 3 1/2 up.

Nice job by the guys tonight after a long night.
