Mets Friday Game 1 Lineup vs Philadelphia (Nola)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

You know what??
I'll just say it...because it really needs to be said.
Fuck Joe Girardi.....and Phuck Philly.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon guys. WTF!
2nd & 3rd...with no outs?
Conforto & Alonso whiffed swinging at garbage...and Smith K's looking.
That doesn't bode well at all to begin this series.



I think Pete should forego the HR derby in Denver next month at the AS game....
.....and instead, focus on hitting them in real games....like today's.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes!
Mets are fanned 3 times again.

All 6 Mets outs have been via the K.

Did they forget this is just a 7 inning game?

0-0 after 2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still no score through 3.

Ugghhh.

Now in the bottom of the 4th ..the care free swing at anything/everything Mets have now fanned 10 times so far today.

Every out they've made.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Breaking News!

Dom Smith grounded out in the 4th after Alonso's double for out #2 to break Nola's 10 strike outs streak....
But then of course McCann K for the 3rd out to begin a new streak.

Onto the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This is becoming a Nola nightmare.
Dude has 11 K's thru 4, and now 2 hits..including an rbi double here in the 5th after Walker issued a 2 out walk.

Wow. Just wow.


1-0 Phils...mid 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets waste Pillar's leadoff single in the 5th...
And Nola (doing his best deGrom impersonation) notches another K ( #12 thru 5 IP, to go w/ his rbi...and 2 hits)

Mets trail 1-0 heading to the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have 2 on with 1 out in the 6th....and now the Phils are going to their pen.
Nola is out.

LGM!

Edit:
Smith works a walk on the Lefty.
Amazins have them loaded now....still only 1 out.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FFS..... McCann really did an awful job with that golf swing of his and K's with the bags drunk.
Then Pillar grounds into a force out...and the mets come up empty.

Apparently yesterday's day off had no benefit whatsoever.

Jekyll & Hyde ad nauseam.


1-0 end of 6.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Phils were almost begging the Mets to grab this game away from them, but they wanted no part of it and chose not to.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

YES!
Mets were down to their last out in this one...but Lindor clutched up with a 2 out rbi single in the 7th to score Guillorme who reached on a 2 base E-1.

1-1

Phils going back to the pen.
Conforto can walk off right here.

LGM!

edit:
He grounded out.....and we're heading into extras..and the guy who made the last out last inning thingy is on 2B.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo on the bump for the 8th.

Lugo K's Hoskins...IBB's Harper....then K's Realmuto & McCutchen. Wow!



Conforto will be the Mets baserunner on 2nd for the of the bottom 8th.

 

[Yo Tee]

Nice win for the Mets in GM 1

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn...my computer went down right in the middle of the 8th and I couldn't get any updates or scores from my phone, or from my TV either. Fucking stupid tech issues.

That's all been resolved now....there was a local service outage.

But yeah...just found out a few minutes ago..that the Mets miraculously walked off FTW in the 8th 2-1.


UNBELIEVABLE!

'Resiliency': Mets come back to walk off Phils

NEW YORK -- For weeks, the implicit promise at Citi Field was that a healthy lineup would benefit the Mets in innumerable ways. Having Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto back from the injured list would help the Mets by nature of how strong they are as hitters. But it would
