Series Thread: NY Mets @ Phila. Phillies (4/15-17)

Sheeesh...already a single and a walk...and no outs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

He gets a GIDP but now there's a runner at 3rd..

.....and then issues another walk.


Ugghh....and then another to load the bases.

Fuck this guy's bullshit.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Gsellman now comes in.....zero margin for error.
2 outs....bags drunk.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FUCK!!!
A 4 pitch walk?????

Way to go, assholes.

Game tied.

Harper now up.


edit: Harper pops out on the 1st pitch.

Good grief. Familia needs to go.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm not even gonna watch the bottom of the 9th.
Inevitable Phillies walk off is looming.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Why not just let the pitcher stay in to hit if the plan was a sac bunt.
Pitchers are usually more adept at that.

With 1st & 2nd and no outs, d'Arnaud wasted an out by failing to execute the bunt

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...Mets took the lead 7-6 in the 11th.

Heading to the bottom half up a run.

Still not gonna watch...lol

 

[Zooky]

Diaz. Finish him!

 

[Zooky]

Atta boy!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Diaz. Finish him!

Atta boy!

I've been busy watching this Warriors playoff game...but I see the Mets did manage to hold on for the win.

Awesome.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets win 7-6 in 11 innings on Jackie Robinson Day.

Can we trade Familia and Vargas for a bag of balls or maybe some big league chew?

 

[redseat]

The o/u was 7.5 today for this game.
CBP plays like a bandbox..because it is more times than not.

Oh really? That's not that the O/U was that high!

I have be in CBP it is a very nice park as it CitiFIeld... Few years ago 3 rows from first base... Pretty sick!

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Holy hell.... the shit show has reared it's ugly head.
Matz with a major flop of an outing...plus 2 E-6's.
He allowed 8 runs (6 earned) and didn't get an out.
Gagnon took over and gave up the other 2 runs.
Phils put 10 runs on the board in the 1st??
They nearly batted around twice.



10-zip...end of 1.

Any big time rain in the near forecast for the Philly area???

 

[redseat]

Well now... Certainly didn't see this score for tonight... Figured tonight would be a higher scoring game than last night but holy smokes!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well at least the shutout was averted courtesy of a Ramos solo HR in the 2nd.

I'm still gonna hope, wish & pray for rain though....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Conforto solo blast in the 3rd.
Gagnon tosses a 1-2-3 inning.

10-2 game after 3.

Bring the rain.


Hopefully Nimmo is okay.
He left the game with a neck injury.
