Well I hope the HP ump gives Jake that same inside strike call against the philly righties.....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets left them loaded in the top 3rd.
deGrom got the Mets' 1st base hit of the year (single)

No score so far.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes.
Mets on the board in the 4th via McCann's rbi single, to score Pete from 3rd.

1 - 0.


And now Jake with his 2nd hit, brings home Davis to make it 2-0 Mets.

Moore is done.....Phils make the bullpen move.

Bases loaded, only 1 out.

Pillar facing Kintzler....


edit: ....he GIDP.

Ughhh.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeesh...I don't get McNeil sometimes.
What's with him and making 1st pitch outs.
3rd time for him in this game now....and his 2nd time today with guys on base.
But I digress.....

2-0 Mets...mid 5th.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

DeGrom was his usual self. Let's hope the bullpen pulls through.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still 2-0...heading to the 8th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn...settle down, Trevor May.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nothing is easy.....ever.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Shit Shit Shit...

I think we're getting thrown for a Loup.

A couple of real head scratching moves by Rojas.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well that totally sucked.
Mets lose 5-3.

Back at it mañana.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's deja-vu all over again......lol

deGrom's sharp start thwarted by bullpen

PHILADELPHIA -- All the pieces were in place as the Mets had drawn them up. Jacob deGrom for six innings, then three more from a revamped bullpen to close out Opening Day. In manager Luis Rojas’ eyes, the plan was sound; the plan made sense; the plan would keep deGrom

Phils' bullpen holds Mets as bats rally late

PHILADELPHIA – Not everybody understood why the Mets pulled Jacob deGrom so early Monday night at Citizens Bank Park. Mets manager Luis Rojas said before the Phillies’ 5-3 comeback victory that deGrom could throw 100 pitches, but he pulled his ace after 77 pitches in six scoreless innings...

DeGrom was his usual self. Let's hope the bullpen pulls through.

Bullpen was it's usual self too

 

[Nasty_Magician]

And just like that the world feels normal again.

 

[redseat]

deGrom seriously needs to pitch 9 every outing

Glad Dom is in. No reason he should have been out last night.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

DOM!!!!

2 run bomb....opposite field.

2-0 Mets, top 4th.

Hopefully JD Davis is okay after getting HBP on his left wrist in the 2nd inning...but it didn't sound too good when it happened....and he was replaced by Guillorme.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro couldn't get that shutdown frame..as he gave up a solo HR to Gregorius in the 4th...but nibbled his way thru the 5th.

Mets up 2-1 heading to the 6th.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Will say (knock on wood), I love the confidence I feel when a ball is hit to short.
