IGT 4/13 A tough act to follow Max v Phils 12:20pm

[Edgy MD]

Canha probably could have dodged that pitch.

[Fman99]

Even Tina Turner didn't get hit this much.

[Frayed Knot]

Dom not exactly taking his opportunity and running with it.

Re: two strike threes looking

[Edgy MD]

McNeil probably couldn't have dodged that pitch.

[Willets Point]

That should've amounted to more.

[Lefty Specialist]

Yeah, woulda been nice to cash a few more there. Scherzer won't be going deep in this game and greater margin for error would be appreciated.

When I manage the Mets (and I will), avoiding GiDPs will be a core principle for the team.



Core. Principle.

Vowels? We don't need no stinkin' vowels.

[Fman99]

Gutsy inning by Maxie to get out of that with just a single run given up.

[Willets Point]

If Lindor was just a few inches taller, it would still be a shutout, even.

[Willets Point]

Alonso doubles his doubles and double his RBIs for the day.

[Edgy MD]

You can't hit a homer on a pitch at your ankles, Pete.



You're not Mookie.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice backatcha run. Wasn't a homer but came damn close.

[Frayed Knot]

This game might wind up being a day/night DH by itself.

Two hours in and we're not done with the top 5th yet.

[Willets Point]

Bean the Mets, Bean the Mets,

Step right up and plunk the Mets!

[nymr83]

Clayton Kershaw is perfect through 7 for anyone looking to flip over to that

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We really should be doing more damage than we have

[Edgy MD]

Canha leavin' 'em loaded certainly supports that notion.



Probably not so much last season, but it seemed like for a few years before that, just getting into the Phillies bullpen felt like a red carpet being rolled out.

[Frayed Knot]

Too many aquatic fowl are being permitted to remain floating on small pools of water.

[Edgy MD]

Maxmillian may have trouble finishing this inning.

[Edgy MD]

Scherzer finishes strong and is probably done, but he seemed to get detained a moment at the end of the inning by the ump examining his hand.

[Lefty Specialist]

Scherzer guts it lout without his best stuff. Mets are getting 'em on, but not getting enough of 'em in.



Another opportunity with two on. LFGM.

[Frayed Knot]

A mighty blow by Marte!!

At least 45 mph off the bat.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

There we are

[Willets Point]

A BIG DAY FOR BIG PETE!

[Edgy MD]

Game. Cracked. Open.

[nymr83]

Kaboom! hope the bullpen can manage this one now...

[Lefty Specialist]

OK, there ya go. The Polar Vortex.

[Fman99]

Piss Missile launch !

[Frayed Knot]

Key to the whole inning was Lindor hitting the grounder too slowly for the inning-ending GiDP.

We already had two of those today but the inning lived allowing four runs to be tacked on.
