IGT 9/17/2020: NYM @ PHI -- Stumblin' In

[kcmets]

Last night's home plate ump and tonight's seem to be ignoring the dumb ass

pitch framing trickery. Maybe the memo finally went out to wise up!

[Edgy MD]

Erasmo is something else.

[batmagadanleadoff]

If they're not winning, at least they're fucking up Nola's Cy Youngish season stats.

[Edgy MD]

They're really polishing off the get-the-leadoff-guy-on-and-don't-advance-him game.

[Edgy MD]

They gots to chase NOLA here.

[Edgy MD]

Only a matter of time before Pete lost one of those curves.



Of course, he had already been struck out three pitches before.

[Edgy MD]

1) Nola gassed.



2) Mets have the tying run at the plate.



3) The Phils have to get 11 outs out of their pen.



4) Neris may not even be available, having pitched in three straight games.

[bIGPURPLE]Nimmo![/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

Giving Mc the bunt single, but he's not taking it.



Instead, fouling off half a dozen pitches.

[Edgy MD]

I think Keith is high tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Ump just got totally framed for strike three to Gimenez.

[Edgy MD]

Two outs in the eighth and Familia walks McCutch, and Harper comes stumblin' in.



Wilson in to face Harpie.

[Edgy MD]

And Mr. Wilson doesn't get close to the plate in four pitches.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Halp

[Edgy MD]

Amazing. He can't get it near the plate and the Mets aren't allowed to pull him from the game.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Stoopit 3 batter rule not making this game any better

[Edgy MD]

Wow! Assist to Dom Smith.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Whew . Now to relieve my stress watching the Islanders kill off 3:30 in penalties to start ot

[Edgy MD]

Top of the order. Suddenly, Conforto is the Met who's battling himself, though.

[G-Fafif]

Not a walk from Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]ZIMMO!![/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

And Diaz is up!

[Edgy MD]

Screw the Islanders, folks. This is where the action is.



Insurance run purchased, as Dom joins Nimmo in working on the cycle.

[Edgy MD]

And Canó barely survives striking out against a Phils pitcher facing his first batter, and he turns around and whacks it out of the park.

[Edgy MD]

Knapp was so shell-shocked, when Gimenez checked his swing, he pointed to first to ask the ump to call it a strike, with a lefthanded batter up.

[Edgy MD]

Missing some fun here.



Justin Wilson, who had absolutely squat, looks to walk off with the victory here. Talk about bad luck turning around.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm back. No more hockey 😥. Helped me miss all the scoring in this one after the first

[Edgy MD]

Diaz looks drained too.



Old Diaz, where he has his movement, but no idea where it's going.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Diaz, get this kid out and let's chill.



I don't think his numbers suggest we should be using him 2 days in a row much less 3
