Game One, Take Two -- IGT Mets @ Phils 4/5/21

[Willets Point]

Pillar starts the 2-out rally.

[Edgy MD]

This is one beefy closer.

[LWFS]

Not fascinatingly beefy, but still.



Wait for yours, buddy. I like Piss Missile's chances better.

[Fman99]

Well how bout that! Conforto as the tying run if there's any love in the world.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What the hell

[Edgy MD]

Let's get a 2020 baseball in there.

[LWFS]

Oh, boy

[Frayed Knot]

Got the polar bear up.

[Lefty Specialist]

God, they're teasing us all.

[Edgy MD]

Terrific!



I thought Conforto would get to second, but ... .

[Fman99]

Man, I'm getting a bit excited here. Pete with his chance to be the hero !

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck

[LWFS]

Dammit.

[Willets Point]

Dang.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, fuckiityfuckfuck.

[Chad ochoseis]

Damn. I thought that was out.

[Edgy MD]

Wow.



Stupid 2021 baseball.

[Fman99]

DAMMIT

[LWFS]

For all the JD Davis agita whenever a ball got popped up to him... if not for the two-run error by Guillorme, this ballgame continues, at least.

[metsmarathon]

Wow. The Mets are metsing in full midsession form.

[Willets Point]

Loup.

[Edgy MD]

Frayed Knot stole my IGT.



I'm just saying.

[Frayed Knot]

I thought that muff was at least as much on McCann as on Luis, if not more.

But everything that could have gone wrong in the 8th there did. It was no one thing.

Agreed and agreed, though Luis' mistake was throwing it across the runner, from inside the baseline to outside.



But committing to your stretch too early is why I was a lousy firstbaseman. McCann isn't a firstbaseman, but he should've had that.

"Jake's pitching great!"

"Yeah, but let's take him out because he hasn't pitched in a game in 2 weeks and it's a long season."

"Uh, shouldn't we try and win this game? He's cruising!"

"We'll be fine."

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Meet the Mets is a song, not a game plan. Rojas is so fucking awful

It's on McCann. Catchable ball.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Jake pitches shutout ball and can't get a win. Neither can the Mets.



That never happens.

[Fman99]

This game sucked a garbage bag full of steamed assholes.

"Jake's pitching great!" "Yeah, but let's take him out because he hasn't pitched in a game in 2 weeks and it's a long season." "Uh, shouldn't we try and win this game? He's cruising!" "We'll be fine."

Here's the thing: Rojas was asked during his afternoon press conference about deGrom, and he was explicit that Jake's pitch count was going to be around 100 today. The words were said, and all.
