Series Thread: NY Mets @ Phila. Phillies (6/24-27)

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets failed to answer in the top 8th.
4-4 game..mid 8th.

Gsellman pitching now.

This could be where the mets totally give it away...

He's gives up b2b 2 out singles....but gets the 3rd out to keep the game tied.

Heading to the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go down 1-2-3 in the 9th.
Diaz comes in.

I know their BP options are limited, but I really hate it when a manager brings the closer in to pitch in a tie game.

Potential phillies walk off looms heavy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Diaz sets the top of the phils order down 1-2-3.

Bonus baseball.
Onto the 10th.


LGM!

edit:
Mets go down 1-2-3.


Stephen Nogosek is now on the mound for NY to begin the bottom of the 10th.

Good Night, all.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well I'm sure that leadoff walk won't do any harm.




and now a single.

No outs...2 runners on.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Jay Bruce. Walk off rbi double.

LMFAO.
The guy we traded for Diaz & CANO.


Mets lose 5-4.
Nogosek didn't even get 1 out.

FIRE CALLAWAY!

FUCK OFF, BRODIE!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I think I'd much rather have Brooklyn Cyclones manager Edgardo "Fonzie" Alfonzo managing the big club. Mickey Callaway seems clueless and ineffectual for the job.

Something needs to be done.

Also...I'm definitely not an ageist by any stretch whatsoever.....(I'm 63)...but how long are they gonna stick with 82 yr old Phil Regan as the pitching coach?? It's been a week since they dumped Dave Eiland...and things have gone from bad to worse.

The dirty lowdown...

'Pen letdown a too-familiar ending for Mets

Phillies learning that Bruce's word is bond

Mets vs. Phillies - Game Recap - June 26, 2019 - ESPN


Roster Move:

The Mets selected right-hander Chris Mazza's contract from Triple-A Syracuse. He was 3-5 with a 3.59 ERA over 12 starts in the minors. RHP Walker Lockett was optioned to Syracuse and left-hander LHP Ryan O'Rourke was designated for assignment.


Next:

Ughhh..

What would be worse than getting swept in a 4 game series??
Being no hit in the series finale.

That's were the Mets were until the 6th inning today...because they now have 1 hit.
A lone single by Wheeler.

Wheeler also gave up a solo HR in the bottom 6th..to account for the only run in the game.

Phils lead 1-0, at the stretch.

He's now being relieved to begin the bottom 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Brooks Pounders works out of a jam in the 7th to keep it a 1-0 deficit.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cano whiffs in a PH role to begin the 8th.

Mets go quietly 1-2-3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Chris Flexen comes on to begin the bottom 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets trail 1-0 after 8.

Last chance to avoid a shutout, and a 4 game sweep.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

OMG.

Boom Goes Frazier!
Boom Goes Frazier!

After a 1 out single by Conforto...
...the Todd Father clutches up and crushes a 2 run blast.




2-1 Mets in the 9th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Now b2b singles by Dom Smith and Wilson Ramos.
Mets have 1st & 3rd w/ 1 out.
Amed Rosario coming up.

Phils go the BP.

LGM!!!

edit: Rosario grounds out slowly back to the mound but Smith scores from 3rd.

3-1 Mets

Time for Edwin Diaz to step up in the bottom half to close it down.

No drama please.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FFS.
You. Can. Not. Walk. The. Damn. Leadoff. Guy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm not sure I can even stomach watching this...

I'm gonna step away.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This fucking team is cursed.
It's beyond obvious.

Wow.
Just wow.

What a sad joke.

They will now officially be entrenched as a bonafide laughing stock.

Numerous heads need to roll after this latest fiasco.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

@Nasty_Magician

Any thoughts or remedies to mitigate this ongoing shit show??

I'm out of ideas at this point.


They can't even get out of their own way even when they try.

It's just beyond ridiculous.

That curse is a real thing.

Can it get much worse???
