IGT Sun Sept 22 Phils @ Mets 7:15 PM

[Edgy MD]

I thought the Mets were keeping Alonso

I'm sure they will make a strong bid to keep him, but he will be a free agent (represented by Scott Boras) so nothing is guaranteed.

I hope Alonso makes a strong effort to put one in play before the night is over.

[Frayed Knot]

Mendy likely looking for two innings now from Buttarsky

[Edgy MD]

Asking for three innings more against his lineup with a single run to work with is a big ask for any bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Howie's sarcastic anti-ESPN burns are scorching.

[Frayed Knot]

Three perfect frames from the pen.

Do share.

[Centerfield]

Six uncomfortable outs left.

Raad: "ESPN was just showing a replay of the Nimmo homer and ... ."

Rose: "Why? Did they miss it the first time? Were they showing footage of Schwarber hitting in the cage between innings?"

[Edgy MD]

Six uncomfortable outs left.

Butto Butto man
I wanna be
A Butto man

Sorry if I've dumbed down the IGT.

[metirish]

This has been a fun game to watch ( despite ESPN, I like Cone though)

[Frayed Knot]

Wheeler, meanwhile, has thrown as many pitches thru six frames as Tylor had thru four.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Diaz in the eighth!

[Frayed Knot]

The balls off the bat in Acuna's last three ABs [swinging bunt hit, actual bunt, swinging bunt out] probably barely top 100 ft traveled total.

[Fman99]

Top of the lineup so I get it. Hopefully they're not overextending him after yesterday

[Edgy MD]

Mendoza seemingly knows what he's doing but I imagine that if I asked 10 Met fans, 11 would disagree with this move.

Including myself, that might make 12.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Golly he just demolished Schwarber

[Centerfield]

I feel like Butto had another inning. Count me as 13. Let’s see what happens.

[Cowtipper]

Just now getting to the game. This is exciting!

[Frayed Knot]

Harper didn't even wait for the 3B ump's call. He just walked away.

[Edgy MD]

Trea Turner is very pilfery.

My bum squeaked.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Wow! Does Edwin go two?

Some insurance runs, please!

[Frayed Knot]

I'm OK with the move.
I think if you go with your (2nd? 3rd?) best reliever,, and for a second inning no less, with a skinny run lead against the best of their lineup
and give up the lead you'll be kicking yourself all night and maybe all winter.

We need THIS game NOW!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Gameday only says "injury delay." What happened?

Julio fouled one off his thigh ... but he got better!
