IGT 9/8/18: PHI @ NYM

[bmfc1]

7:10 PM and it's Winter Hat Night at Citi Field.

Jose Lobaton is back (Wahl to the 60-day DL), a RF is at 1B and a 1B is in LF.
Against the Mets, Zach F. Lin gave up 4 ER in 6 2/3 IP on 8/16 and 3 ER in 5 IP on 7/9. Conforto is the only Met who has homered against F. Lin and Rosario is 3 for 6.
Noah gave up 4 ER in 5 2/3 and a zillion SBs on 8/17. Here's a picture of me from that game with the horrible Phillies mascot taking a fake dump on my head (fun for the whole family!)

1. Amed Rosario ® SS

When does Callaway call for a Phillie to get drilled or does he not have the stones?

If we put that to a vote, I'd vote "no".
Meanwhile - TODDBOOM.

Toddbooms and the like are how you retaliate!

[Edgy MD]

Dale Murphy and Dave Winfield.

[bmfc1]

2 days in a row that a Mets been hit but that's a matter for the top of the 1st tomorrow. Finish 'em off tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

boo, Conforto

[Edgy MD]

That defense against Conforto was boochit. Him striking out on ball four was super-boochit.

[Edgy MD]

Let's score 25.

[Frayed Knot]

When Carlos Santana comes to bat in Atlanta, I wonder if the organist there plays the opening strains of 'Black Magic Woman'?

[Edgy MD]

Was Harrelson in the booth?

[MFS62]

Four walks and three strikeouts through five innings, but only 67 pitches for Noah.
Interesting to see how long he can go.

Six might be it.

[Edgy MD]

Can you imagine how good Syndergaard will be if he can get his focus down?

[Edgy MD]

MLB Gameday just ran that Kaepernick ad. I feel like I gotta burn something.

I don't think so. they were just talking about him. Ed K was on the radio pregame, same old Ed.

[Edgy MD]

It's like somebody told the Phils' outfielders, "It's a wet field in spring training — don't run hard."

I don't care if they think its snowing on top of a mine field as long as they play like that.

Should have listened to me. No point in sending him out for the 7th up 7. Mickey can be an idiot.
And now he might be hurt in an inning when he was sent out up 7 runs, then was struggling and over a 100 pitches. With about 10 guys in the bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that hurt me back at home. Hang tough, Syndergaard.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets are being out-hit in this game 12-10 thru 7

[Edgy MD]

The defense is the difference.

And that's saying something.

[Guest 41Forever]

Was listening in the car and the guys in the booth made the Syndergaard thing sound horrible. So much so that I pulled over to look at the video -- which didn't look as bad as it sounded. But I'm sure that will leave a mark.

[bmfc1]

The Mets OF private handshake ritual is wonderful.

That game was only 3:12?

[MFS62]

Gsellman is showing he's a true closer. They don't pitch well when they come in with a big lead.

Libros, though.

In the post game interview, when asked if he was hurt badly, he said he hoped he hadn't hurt the ball.
