IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

bmfc1 Aug 19 2022 08:38 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 20 2022 07:51 AM

Trevor Williams goes for the Mets against Zach Wheeler for the Phillies at 1 PM ET. Kyle Schwarber has hit 4 HRs off Williams. Trevor has not started against PHI this season but pitched two scoreless innings in relief on August 14. Wheeler got his ass kicked by the Mets last weekend, giving up 6 runs. I wrote something that was factually inaccurate in my thread starter for last night's game (that I have edited) which tells me that either you are too polite to correct me, and we know that's not true, or you don't read the comments. The Phillie Phanatic is like a hack comic doing the same tired, obvious act for years. He's the Gallagher of mascots because we once thought that the watermelon smashing was funny but after a few years, you need to do something else. Gallagher is still smashing watermelons and the Phanatic is still smashing helmets. Mr. Met is the finest mascot in sports, a class act who improves every year. The Phillie Phanatic is a giant, green, POS. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-phillies/2022/08/20/661628#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661628

I like the Phanatic. He always pays his gambling debts quickly, holds his liquor, and whenever I arrive in Philly, there's a new restaurant he'll take me to and he never misses.

Willets Point Aug 19 2022 10:55 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

I thought the Phanatic's Keith Hernandez doll/effigy was pretty funny actually.

kcmets Aug 20 2022 06:01 AM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

I'm phine with Phanatic, but I bet he can't bring it on trumpet like Mr. Met.

Philly is actually a third-rate town (not second-rate) but yes, was being polite and not correcting you.

Michael Perez is not about to give you the chance to miss him. The Phils also start their lefthanded backup catcher in game one, and that increases the German-American factor in their lineup to six.

Damn. 0/5 with 5 K's and they run Naquin right back out there the next day.

Either:

They think he's due to break out.

or

Morbid curiosity to see how long the streak gets.

Damn. 0/5 with 5 K's and they run Naquin right back out there the next day. I remember Kingman's five-strikeout game and Ryan Thompson's. I think Newsday had a back page that read, "K-K-K-K-KINGMAN!"

G-Fafif Aug 20 2022 10:11 AM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

I was at Frank Taveras's five-strikeout game in 1979. He madeit up to me by stealing three bases in the Dave Kingman 3-HR (as a Cub) game later that same season.

Hey, Rhys Hoskins, none out of none umpires would have called that a ball.

kcmets Aug 20 2022 11:38 AM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Eight straight AB's ending with a K for Naquin. Anyone know the team record for consecutive whiffs?

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 11:53 AM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Chasing Nimmo is bad Nimmo.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 12:07 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Mets enter the hit column on an infield roller by Marte in the fourth. He can run when he wants to.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 12:29 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

What a gift from whoever put the second/home double-steal in the Phillies' playbook.

Gwreck Aug 20 2022 12:31 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Good play. Very smart by Lindor to go home to ensure the run didn't score. But Perez: don't argue with the umpire. Just go over and tag him again!

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 12:35 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

What a gift from whoever decided to challenge the call for the Phillies. If Perez had missed the tag, how do you reset the game-play? Clearly he had all the time in the world to re-tag the runner who flew well past the plate, but didn't see the need after getting the out call from blue.

ashie62 Aug 20 2022 12:42 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Michael Perez! Two RBI's

bmfc1 Aug 20 2022 12:59 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Me: It's gotta be the 7th inning by now... WHAT?

kcmets Aug 20 2022 01:20 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Chasing Zack is huge, he's been en fuego at home this season.

MFS62 Aug 20 2022 01:25 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Good news - Naquin finally hits the ball Bad news - he makes an out. Later

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 01:37 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Looks like we're going to try and bucket-brigade it through the bullpen all day. Also looks like Brett Baty doesn't have David Wright's popup-catching skillz. McNeil does, and more, though, and the Mets get out of the inning with only one run home.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 01:45 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Shall we show them how to do the second/home double-steal again?

bmfc1 Aug 20 2022 01:49 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Maybe Cora was too conservative there.

MFS62 Aug 20 2022 01:52 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

I hope that failure to bring home tack-on runs doesn't bite them in the butt. Later

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 01:57 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Brad Hand sighting is nice.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:11 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Mets on their fifth pitcher. I think the intent is to use Diaz in this one.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:18 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Get Nelson up.

MFS62 Aug 20 2022 02:22 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

8th and 9th batters-HBP and walk. I've always wanted to have a Mets lineup that is so scary that the other team doesn't want to pitch to them. Later

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:28 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Hey, today might be Clayday!!

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:31 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Man, imagine how much trouble Nelson would be getting himself in without the shadows working in his favor.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:34 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

McNeil gets to hit against a position player.

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:36 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Hall is actually letting it rip! And McNeil sends it to the outfield!

Edgy MD Aug 20 2022 02:44 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

Get to keep Diaz, Givens, May, and Nogo fresh for the nightcap.

ashie62 Aug 20 2022 02:49 PM Re: IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1
