I.G.T. 9/4 Phillies Mets Arrietta Porcello

[ashie62]

May Tom Seaver and Tug McGraw look over us for a special September.

[Frayed Knot]

A matchup of the 2015 NL CY winner (Arrieta w/the Cubs) and the 2016 AL winner (Porcello w/Boston) ... and neither one is pitching anywhere close to that level now.

Porcello you all know about. Arietta, kind of a late bloomer so you may not realize that he's already 34 y/o, has gone longer than 5 innings just once in his seven starts this season

and is pitching to an ERA of 6.49 That ERA jumped more than two full runs/G as a result of his last start on Sunday where he got his ass handed to him by the Braves to the tune

of 7 ER / 6 Hits / 3 walks while recording just 4 outs.

That the Phils almost came back to win that game after being down 10-0 in the 2nd [Final ATL 12 - PHI 10] shows you how much problem Atlanta is having with their staff. That

was ex-NYM Tommy Milone's debut start for Los Bravos (7 ER in 2-1/3)

[MFS62]

Win another one for the Gipper.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Until this year used to conflate porcello and arietta.



That was a disappointing finish to a promising inning. Not much is changing around here

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Jay Bruce.

[MFS62]

Not a good feeling here.

Later

[kcmets]

Confortoboom!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, this team seems to be getting used to coming from behind.

[Edgy MD]

Canó getting a lot of those turnover grounders to second recently. Like first-half-2019 Canó.



We can't have that.

[bmfc1]

Giminez can't even stop the ball and the Phillies get the lead.

[G-Fafif]

Games like this, it occurs to me that if I didn't know who was on the Mets, I wouldn't know who was on the Mets.

[Fman99]

Boy, they are leaving Hughes out there for a ton of pitches. Nearly 40.

[Fman99]

Well fuck all

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Whatever the 162-game season record for hbps with the bases loaded is, it's gotta be endangered

[Frayed Knot]

Phil's scored their last 3 runs with ONE hard hit ball ... the double to LF in the 7th

[Fman99]

Mets pitchers have 4 bases loaded HBP so far in 2020. That's fucktacular.

[Frayed Knot]

Robo Ump can't get here fast enough for me.

[Fman99]

Chance for ol Dom to redeem that last play here.

[Edgy MD]

Neris is showing me nothing. That strikeout call on Conforto was a huge gift.

[Edgy MD]

Well without Hoskins making that improbably grab, this game is tied.

[Fman99]

That was a rotten AB there by Alonso. He had no chance.

[kcmets]

I hate to be that guy, but if Alonso was just 50% better things would be whole lot rosier.

[Edgy MD]

Still got Frazier on the bench.

[Edgy MD]

Take a strike, McNeil.

Take a strike, McNeil.

Take a strike, McNeil.

Take a strike, McNeil.

Take a strike, McNeil.

Take a strike, McNeil.

[Edgy MD]

Gimenez swinging at the first pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

We can't keep losing to these schmucks and expect to get anywhere.

[bmfc1]

After a stirring emotional win that was a shitty performance.

[Fman99]

That sucked a suitcase full of monkey dicks.

[Lefty Specialist]

Still putting the 'F' in LFGM.
