IGT 6/25/2021 (1): PHI@NYM — First Dip

[G-Fafif]

The double dip commences with Taijuan Walker facing Aaron Nola at 4:10 PM. Three dips if you count Joe Girardi.

[Ceetar]

preemptively angry about 7 innings.

[bmfc1]

At least it's a single-admission doubleheader unless the practice in Washington where they split the games and get two admissions for the same price as a traditional 9-inning game.

Some Phillies for your scorecard.



Herrera 8

Hoskins 3

Harper 9

Realmuto 2

Bohm 5

Jankowski 7

Torreyes 6

Maton 4

Nola 1

[bmfc1]

Whenever there's a player that I don't recognize on the opposing team, I figure that he will hurt the Mets. And there are 3 players in that lineup that I don't know.

[G-Fafif]

McNeil 2B

Lindor SS

Conforto RF

Alonso 1B

D. Smith LF

McCann C

Pillar CF

Guillorme 3B

Walker RHP

[G-Fafif]

That's pretty much a major league lineup.

[Fman99]

Attending my nephew's HS graduation tonight at 6 PM, but this does entail a one hour drive to and from the ceremonies. Good to know there will be Mets baseball for both of those rides.

What was the name of the Marlins pitcher from Stony Brook? Every time he faced the Mets this forum was flooded with comments about how stupid he was.

[Frayed Knot]

Tom Koehler

[G-Fafif]

Poorly educated brute.

[Frayed Knot]

It helped the mocking that Koehler was a division opponent (Miami) for much of the time so he wound up facing the Mets more often (22) than any other team during the course of his 8 year career.



Nice top 1st for Walker

[bmfc1]

That was f**king pathetic. 3 K's. Awful.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that sucked ... both the K's themselves and the HP Ump's call on the final one.

[bmfc1]

[Lefty Specialist]

You get the feeling that after letting that golden opportunity go by, they're not going to get another one.

[Frayed Knot]

They are obviously still adhering to Covid protocols by observing 'No-Contact' rules.

[Frayed Knot]

Even with the surprise near-HR single to Nola, just 33 pitches from Tie-one-on thru 3

[Frayed Knot]

Every one of the called 'Balls' to Walker looked like a strike.

[Edgy MD]

The at-bat by Walker contained some comical calls too.



The last pitch was right down the middle and it took a moment for the ump to call it a strike ... and there was doubt in that moment.



And Nola sets a club record by fanning eight straight Mets.

[Edgy MD]

OK, gentlemen, we've got to protect us some Seaver here.

[G-Fafif]

No fucking around, Conforto. Contact is essential.

[bmfc1]

Gary to Ronnie at the next commercial break: "Did you go home with her?"

Ronnie: "How can I remember? There were so many!"

[Frayed Knot]

No pressure Michael, ... but DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!!!!
