IGT 8/6/21: NYM @ PHA — It's Gonna Be Alright

[Lefty Specialist]

McNeil and Nimmo visibly hobbled.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe they could try swinging something other than rolled-up wet newspapers.

The Phils have hit two to the fence plus one in the second deck while we've yet to make an outfielder even back up.

[bmfc1]

At least Pete didn't hit another meaningless flyball to the warning track (that everyone thought was out).

If the Mets called up Baty and Vientos they couldn't do any worse than these guys. Although:

[Frayed Knot]

It occurs to me that Alex Bohm has been our best OBA guy tonight. Grounders to him increase our odds of getting on.

[Lefty Specialist]

Doing the wave here which is really annoying.

[bmfc1]

The Mets are just a walk, WP, groundball to the right side, and Bohm error away from tying the game!

[Edgy MD]

Hey, let's do The Wave! The COVID Delta Variant SUPER-SPREADER WAVE!

[bmfc1]

3-1 pitch, borderline strike (and who knows with Joe West?). Of course, Dom swings.

[Edgy MD]

Nobody left on base that inning!

[The Hot Corner]

I am so tired of this flail and fail offense.

[kcmets]

I think Country Joe needs to ride out into the sunset.

[Frayed Knot]

You get the idea that this game could go 25 innings and they still wouldn't put up another run.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck

[Lefty Specialist]

Conforto sucks. That is all.



On edit: Diaz too.



Goodbye first place.

[seawolf17]

What a mess this team is right now. So much promise, wasted.

[The Hot Corner]

I am really starting to dislike this team.

[Frayed Knot]

Hardly matters. This game was lost five innings ago after two were out and none on facing the 8 & 9 hitters.

[bmfc1]

Yet another 8th inning where the heralded Mets BP, the one that they didn't upgrade, turns a one-run deficit into a bigger deficit.

[Lefty Specialist]

They got by on smoke & mirrors (and deGrom) for 3 months. The smoke has cleared, the mirror is cracked and deGrom has vanished.

[Lefty Specialist]

Philly fans are being good sports and not rubbing it in at all.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Four hits through eight innings.

[Frayed Knot]

4 hits, 3 of them singles, none in the clutch.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Villar

[Edgy MD]

Seemingly, the base to drive a Met in from is home plate.



Even moreso in Philly.

[Fman99]

And imagine if Diaz hadn't shat the bed in the top of this inning.

Drury has had his fun and we have seen this week why an even worse team like AZ waived him.

It could be worse, we could have traded for Ian Kennedy.

[Lefty Specialist]

Drunken fan wrestled into submission.



Much like the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Best eye in the league, and even Nimmo won't take a strike in the ninth down by more than one.
