IGT 4/11/2022: NYM@PHI — Philadelphia? Beat ’Em!

[G-Fafif]

We're starting a Walker (Taijuan).

It's not in Texas.

They're starting a Ranger (Suarez).



6:45 PM from Philadelphia, on SNY.

[Willets Point]

I lo-o-ove this thread title, Yes I do!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ranger Suarez is a fat, lefthanded Venezuelan who was a middle reliever, closer and starter for the Phils last year, turning in a 1.36 ERA when it was all over. Had visa issues and an abbreviated spring so they'll probably limit his pitches.



Does anyone know what we'll get out of Walker?



I'm declaring this a Big Game.

I predict four innings, three earned runs.

Not expecting much, as he had to leave his last spring start in the second inning.

[ashie62]

Not expecting much either. Getting back to back decent starts out of Carrasco and Walker feels like a stretch.



Rangers has turned into a serviceable SP.



Lets see the Mets come off the deck after losing to a team that has pot pourri as a logo on their uniform.

Nimmo CF

Marte RF

Lindor SS

Alonso 1B

Escobar 3B

J.D. Davis DH

Canha LF

Guillorme 2B

McCann C

[Edgy MD]

Canó, McNeil, and Smitty sit vs. the lefty, but Guillorme gets in there.



I wonder how long it'll take for Buck to repeat a lineup.

[cal sharpie]

JD Davis still hasn't played the field. Escobar has played a bunch of second in his career, they could have given JD a game with a glove and left Guillorme on the bench where he should be.

[Edgy MD]

By tomorrow morning and into perpetuity, this evening's matchup will be known as the Guillorme Guame.

[kcmets]

Unless JD hits a three-run pinch-hit Kaboomer to win it. Stay tuned...



Is this really a 6:45 first pitch or is that like when coverage begins?

I'm really liking Escobar.

Co-sign!

[Frayed Knot]

Resolved: Mark Canha is the greatest FA signing ever



Discuss.

I was hoping this back page would make an appearance.

[Frayed Knot]

You've heard of F-Bombs,

the Philly 3Bman is dropping E-Bohms

[Edgy MD]

Strange to say, but I found myself rooting for Bohm on that double-play.

[Edgy MD]

Nice guest appearance by Ken Rosenthal.

[Frayed Knot]

And this game tonight is on FS1 for those who don't have SNY access.

[Lefty Specialist]

Mets not tacking on and letting the Phils hang around.

[Edgy MD]

This thread needs more traffic.



I love the Phanatic as much as the next visiting fan but ... who signed off on this craziness?

Peterson star of the game thus far.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

When was the last time a Mets team could win by playing better d than the other guys?

[Edgy MD]

Peterson just struck out Harper looking, but when the ump blew the call, got him on a slider swinging.



Pitching like a man tonight. A manly man.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Did Walker get hurt? Looks like Peterson is doing well.

[Edgy MD]

Not particularly helpful for the infielders to converge for a mound conference in a bunting situation if the thirdbaseman isn't paying attention.

None ofvthe first three wins fit that category.

The one thing the Nats did better was out-D'd us.

[Edgy MD]

Great job by McCann sliding in for run #4 just ahead of Harper's throw, but I was thinking that it was a good time to pinch-run.
