DH G1 IGT 08/16 - Mets at Phillies - BOC (not that one)

[MFS62]

Letting Oswalt bat makes me think Mickey might keep him in for at least another inning.

I stepped away for dinner and a quick fantasy draft and thought my screen was wrong. Holy moley.

The current MLB.com headline is "Mets putting up runs in bunches." Who was expecting to see that one any time soon?

[Edgy MD]

Conforto was Roman Quinn's first batter, so for a few minutes there, the poor Phillies dude had an infinite ERA.

[Guest 41Forever]

Wow. I stepped into a couple office meetings when it was 3-3. I like this better.

Who thinks they got game?
Show of hands, please. Kong has to tap someone on the virtual shoulder to keep the mojo goin'.

So this is now 33 runs in less than 24 hours and less than two full games (16 innings).
Did they score that many in all of June?



Answer: Yes they did, they actually scored 89 runs during the [u:1iy9e7tm]26 games[/u:1iy9e7tm] played in the month of June (3.42 RS/G).
On the other hand, it took them until [u:1iy9e7tm]their 15th game[/u:1iy9e7tm] of the month [u:1iy9e7tm]on June 18th[/u:1iy9e7tm] to pass the 33 mark which they did by laying a 12-spot on the Rox - and, yes, it was in Coors.
Take away that four game series in Coors, where they tallied 12, 8, 8, and 4 runs, and the June vs last 24 hours ratio of runs scored is just 57 to 33

My wife is all, "Too bad it's against the Phiillies. It oughta be against the Nats."

The Phils are higher up in the standings, but she has a point. The Mets owe this hurting to Washington.

Nice to see that 4-4 next to Plawecki, among many other pretty things in the boxscore.

Rhame time.

They now have 24. If they score one more run, I'm letting Edgy pick my Lottery numbers.

Who are those guys wearing Mets uniforms? And what did they do with our players?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Wonder how much 40 runs in 2 games boosts our season numbers towards the illusion of "average"?
