Phillies with their douchebag pitching staff don't offer much competition for the Mutts.

Trainer's Room....
CF Brandon Nimmo had an MRI on his right wrist that came back clean, but was held out of the lineup. Showalter said he expected Nimmo might get an injection, but he doesn't anticipate New York's leadoff hitter will miss significant time


Up Next....
New York RHP Chris Bassitt (4-2, 3.91) will start the series finale on Sunday night.
Former Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler (3-3, 3.38) starts for the Phillies.

Don't know anything about him but why not.

Mets Sunday Night Lineup vs Phillies (Wheeler)


I hope Plummer is up for the task, as he's replacing a hot bat (McNeil)...and hopefully Nimmo's hand/wrist injury doesn't require an extended time off. Maybe it's just to give them both a day off/rest.

GO...



GO!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets put up 3 in the 1st...and lead it 3-0 in the 3rd.
But after a playable fly ball was botched for a double (that should've been ruled an error by Plummer in LF)...the Phils now have the bases loaded after Bassitt walked the next 2 batters.... and there are still no outs.

edit:
Mets turned a DP 4-6-3, but a run scored.
3-1 Mets....
and now Bassitt walked Harper.
2 down runners at the corners.
His pitch count is really climbing in this inning alone.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeesh...he K's Castellanos to finally end it.

Bassitt threw 29 pitches thru 2 innings.....then 34 to navigate the 3rd.
He's now at 63.

3-1 Mets...mid 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets still lead it 3-1 after 5 1/2.
Bassitt ended the frame on his 100th pitch....so his day is likely done.


Wheeler is pushing 100 too....and the bottom half will likely be his last inning too.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets went 1-2-3 in their half of the 6th.
Drew Smith is now in to begin the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes...with 2 outs, Drew Smith tried stop a single up the middle...but deflected it, and may have dislocated a finger in the process.
J-Rod is now in to get out of the inning.

Edit:
JROD threw 1 pitch and got a ground ball out.

Mets 3 - Phils 1 at the stretch.

Let's hope it isn't too serious, the Mets already have enough injured players this season. Amazingly, they still have a comfortable lead in their division.

If he lets that ball go through.....no harm.
But that didn't look good. He could be out a few weeks.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Ugh, Ottaviano needs to go. Honestly throw some kid out there, don't care at this point. Also wish we had Lugo available instead of using him yesterday in a blowout.
