IGT 4/15: Somebody to Shove, NYM @ PHI

[Edgy MD]

Noah Syndergaard takes the hill for the Mets first 2019 match against Philadelphia, as Aaron Nola, sporting an ERA in the Jason Vargas-as-a-Met range, opposes the invasion as best he can.



Overkill is the name of the game as everybody wears 42. And Budweiser offers this heartfelt ad at Mets.com.

I thought the Mets had a lot of turnover, but that top half of the Phils lineup features actors we mostly know from other movies: McCutcheon, Segura, Harper, and Realmuto.

I remember when Maikel Franco was the best hitter on the Phillies. They might be good this year.



It feels like we are on a 5-game losing streak

[Edgy MD]

I don't know if you're getting this, but MLB.tv just played a HORRIBLE tribute-to-Jackie Robinson commercial featuring Mario Lopez, who was more or less the darkest-hued person in the spot.

[Edgy MD]

A sweet little rally, mostly with two outs, and the Mets are up 2-0.



I had forgotten how much McCutcheon's arm had lost.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Was getting ready to throw Ramos under the bus along with Cano. Nice, 3-0

[Edgy MD]

And Ramos beats Harper's arm!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Realmuto's passed ball is the Miller Lite Turning Point

[LWFS]

Disappointing response from Syndy last half-inning.



Thankfully, Nola is just as iffy tonight. More so, maybe. I'm guessing the wind is murder on grips?

Buck the heck? Ramos has been solid, and extra RISPy.

[LWFS]

Cano to JCL: kiss my gapper.

[nymr83]

Cano is alive!

[LWFS]

Syndy is flatlining.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ugh. Syndergaard looking to get kicked out of the Marvel Universe.

[Edgy MD]

I'd love to see what Dickey's knuckler could do in these conditions. The Mets should sign him and get him here by the end of the game.



Or perhaps better yet, call up Mickey Jannis.

[Edgy MD]

This is so cool. They just brought in Ron Taylor.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Six runs a night is the new two runs a night

[seawolf17]

Segura had time to dive, get the ball, stand up, double-clutch, brush his teeth, file his taxes, THEN throw to first and Ramos was out by three steps. Was he hit by a piano on his way down the baseline?

[Fman99]

Well thank fucking God the forum is back. I was going shit ass crazy.

Sheesh, dumbest manager challenge ever. What's the delay?



Is Philly trying to ice our kicker?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I think the Phils think Lagares was forced at second

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What?

[Edgy MD]

FWHAT?!!

[Edgy MD]

Busted by the popup slide. Man alive.

[LWFS]

They just walked Nimmo to get to you, Big Dick Energy. Punish them.

[nymr83]

why was Nimmo intentionally walked?

Damn Juan, just slide and stay on the bag. What's the point of popping up like that? We get a gift and give it right back.
