IGT 9/6/19 PHL @ NYM Let's Eat their Ass

[Fman99]

Diaz on to close it out. Lord help us

[Frayed Knot]

OK, NOW it can rain!!

If fact, seeing as how Diaz is coming in, I wish it would.

[Edgy MD]

See now, let's go with Syndergaard or Stroman here. Every day is the post-season now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

😬

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Jesus h Christ on a stick

[Edgy MD]

Increible.

[Guest 41Forever]

Unbelievable.

[Fman99]

Of course that happened. The most predictable outcome out there.

[Edgy MD]

His slider is biting, he's got them chasing his fastball high, and he leaves a balloon over the plate.

[Guest 41Forever]

I don't see how they can use him in a closing spot for a while. How many blown saves is this?

[Edgy MD]

Everybody better find Armando Benitez and apologize to him.

[Fman99]

Mets "fans" behind the dugout yelling and screaming at Diaz as he walks off the field. That's some shit, too.

[Frayed Knot]

Somebody needs to be a hero here and none of this will matter.

[Guest 41Forever]

Do you blame Diaz, or do you blame the guy who decides to keep running him out there in these situations? I don't know.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We just need to score right here and try and forget. Hit a Homer, Rosey

Almost all of them.





From Joel Sherman just earlier today:

The 2.29 HR/9 IP (prior to tonight's) are by far the most in Mets history for a reliever — Josh Smoker was at 1.60 in 2017.

Diaz had permitted [CROSSOUT]13 in 51 innings.[/CROSSOUT] 14 in 52 innings. In massive home run years from 1999-2002, Mariano Rivera surrendered 14 in 271 ¹/₃ innings.

[Edgy MD]

The hit-a-pop-up-to-Franco strategy is coming up short.

Dave Hillman 1962 gave up five homers in 15 2/3 innings. I'm guessing he didn't qualify.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go for McNeil

[kcmets]

J D !

[Frayed Knot]

No one else IN EITHER LEAGUE do I want up right here.

[Fman99]

Yeah let's put this thing to bed so I can put myself to bed. And my thing.

[Centerfield]

Don't underestimate the bunt here for McNeil.

[Edgy MD]

If they shift on you, end it with a squeeze.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Was about to say watch for the WP, and here's a HBP

[Guest 41Forever]

Pete, we like homers but a walk is ok here, too!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh I wanna see a de-shirtsing here

Hell, could get some ball-peen with that, if you're lucky.



Full count.
