Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Johnny Lunchbucket May 30 2023 10:10 AM

Tuesday Night Mets Club taking this one in from Section 103-- prepping to catch home runs off Ranger Suarez, who has a 7 ERA in 3 games this year. Kodai Senga goes for the Mets. Phils looking to get up after a worse start than us.

Because of the cheaper price, my cousin (lives near Jersey Shore, while I'm in Southern Westchester County NY) and I flew to and back from Houston this past weekend out of Philly. There was a guy in a Met cap on the plane coming home yesterday, and I'm like “you are going to the wrong city if you were planning to be at this week's series!”

Senga needs to throw strikes Suarez is 1-2 with a 4.01 era over 11 games, four of which were starts, lifetime vs the Mets

Nimmo 8 Alvarez 2 Lindor 6 Alonso 3 Vientos dh Marte 9 McNeil 4 Pham dh Escobar 5 Senga 1 Escobar should be replaced at least in part by Mauricio at some point Two days off in a row for Baty

Johnny Lunchbucket May 30 2023 01:23 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Baty takes a blow

ashie62 May 30 2023 01:24 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Two in a row

Also two LHPs in a row.

I missed it, but why is there a soccer field in Citi Field ?

ashie62 May 30 2023 05:18 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Three up three down Score runs

Edgy MD May 30 2023 05:19 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

One of the local soccer teams played there whilst the Mets were on the road. I guess maybe Senga needed warmer weather than Chicago to get a feel.

ashie62 May 30 2023 05:20 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Suarez minus change up equals runs

K's a gogo by Senga

Frayed Knot May 30 2023 05:38 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Hitting the ball to Bohm appears to not be as effective an on-base strategy compared to the recent past.

metirish May 30 2023 06:05 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Hell of a catch by Nimmo

Frayed Knot May 30 2023 06:06 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Hey Nick, it's Brandon, Brandon Nimmo, and i just called to say i glove you

Edgy MD May 30 2023 06:11 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

It's not really fair to Tommy Pham, but I feel like if he made a dive for that doink, Senga might be perfect so far. But after that catch, Senga certainly can't complain about outfielder support. Gotta salute Nimmo going out and making that play after looking at strike three down the middle the previous half inning.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 06:14 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Not to stereotype, but Brandon Marsh doesn't look like a guy who feels real good about paying taxes.

He sort of has the batting stance I'd imagine for an anti-government militant, too. All elbows and knees. Like he has a huge, imaginary chip on his shoulder. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/05/screen-shot-2023-05-30-at-8.24.52-pm.png> Strong, healthy butt, though.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 06:32 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Phils now 1-for-18.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 06:43 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Hey, wow, we're in the seventh.

Frayed Knot May 30 2023 06:49 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Looks like a completely different pitcher from his recent starts.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 06:56 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

I'm all for crediting McNeil with a sacrifice there. I'm not sure it should be controversial. His went for a win-win strategy. Just like a sac fly. You're not explicitly trying to make an out, but going for a hit in a manner that embraces the secondary outcome of an out that advances. Give him his credit. People have been laying down bunts forever that way. Carlos Beltran loved that play. Make the sacrifice, but try to get a hit out of it if you can.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:02 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Kinda impressed to see Buck letting Escobar escobat here.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:03 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Even more impressed to see Ecobar get the escobig hit!

The Hot Corner May 30 2023 07:04 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Escobar with a seeing eye single than somehow alludes everyone. Plates Marte for a second Mets run.

The Hot Corner May 30 2023 07:07 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

So the bullpen issues a 4 pitch walk to start the inning.

Frayed Knot May 30 2023 07:09 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Thought he was out in live action, and now think so even more. And he is!!

The Hot Corner May 30 2023 07:10 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Realmuto did us a favor there trying to steal. Great catch and tag by McNeil.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:12 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

I feel like we got off a big replay review schneid there.

nymr83 May 30 2023 07:15 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

a 400 foot out for Alvarez, he looks good up there. have we seen the end of Nido?

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:24 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

No, Nido probably starts one of the next two games.

Frayed Knot May 30 2023 07:28 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

I thought Robertson would try to get Clemens on a ball out of the strike zone ... but Clemens would probably just throw the bat at it.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:29 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Shouldn't Harper be coming off the bench here?

metirish May 30 2023 07:31 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Nice and tidy win

STOTT, in the name of glove.

Edgy MD May 30 2023 07:32 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

David Robertson was on the mound when the Mets completed their big comeback against the Phils — the one they showed in the opening featuring two Canha homers. Here's to him giving more to us tonight than he was able to take from us last season.

[TWEET]https://twitter.com/rshields37/status/1663876988698869760[/TWEET] At the risk of getting ahead of future events here at the CPF, The Post wins the day with the headline but then ruins the cover with not one but two descriptions, especially the one in teeny-type over his right shoulder, and then squeezes in Piazza's appreciation of Alvarez, two NYY stories, and a Knicks story. Who needs the rest of the sports section when you can read everything on one page?

Edgy MD May 31 2023 07:42 AM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

If you're under 50, does KODAI CHROME make any sense/have any resonance? That asked, I'm probably still giving The Post the win there, whatever the answer.

KODAI CHROME Makes you think all the world's a sunny day (I see the Braves and Marlins both lost in Cali)

You would be surprised at the number of under 50 who shoot film. Quite a few of the area high schools still have a working darkroom that the kids use.

Edgy MD May 31 2023 11:32 AM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Has Kodachrome film been reintroduced? I had thought production was discontinued in the aughts or something. I am indeed heartened to hear of a revival of film-based photography.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 31 2023 01:53 PM Re: Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

Pretty calm night at the ballpark. Sat in right field completely out of sight of the gigantic scoreboard. Neighbors were well-behaved except for a doofus in an Aaron Judge jersey who was kicked out of our section for some infraction we didn't see. Castellanos made a good catch on Nimmo but maybe an even better job of cutting off Marte's hit an inning or two earlier. That happened right in front of us and it was impressive as that ball looked to be destined for the wall but he expertly backhanded it on a run. I've come to enjoy baseball for little displays of skill like this. I think Castellanos has a bad rep on D even, but he made 2 good plays. It wasn't good viewing on Senga but he definitely had the Phils Phlailing. We wondered why they didn't bring up Harper in the 8th with a chance to tie or in the 9th. Game over at 9:35, home shortly after 10.

There were two real opps for PH'ing Harper - Realmuto walks to start the 8th ... but then immediately gets CS with Bohm at the plate and I don't think Bohm is the guy you want to PH for anyway. If either or both are still on after Bohm's AB then I'm sure we would have seen Bryce then. .. but they weren't. - if (whichever rhyming K.) Clemens got on to start the 9th then that's the logical spot. But he K'd so NYM nemesis John Harrison PH'd for the 9-spot cuz now it's not the tying run. Once Harrison got on they could have used him but at that point you'd be PH'ing for one of the top of the lineup guys (Stott, T. Turner). I suspect by then Robbie Thompson is hoping somebody will tie it (or go ahead) and then he'd have Harper in reserve for the 10th when the lower lineup would be due. The Philly lineup is definitely shorter and less scary without Harper and Rhys Hoskins

That was the first win on a Tuesday this year. Kudos to the Tuesday Night Club for bringing this home for us. Later
