Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Taijuan Walker returns for the Mets, building on a no-hitter as they try to sink the Phils, now in third place, five games behind.Five games behind YOUR New York Mets.Phils starter Kyle Gibson has faced Colorado in both his last two starts.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Play a series, win a series. It's what we do.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 29, 2022 Author Posted April 29, 2022 Shreve, Ottavino, and May, among others, still fresh.Look to see Smith in the lineup at DH, or first, or left, and probably Nido catching.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I was wondering what would be a good encore.Maybe the Phils breaking their collective oh-fer by getting to Taijuan on his comeback outing and scoring a few runs on him ... only to have NYM bats drop like a 14-spot on them and win by at least a touchdown (plus PAT of course).
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 That's 10 2/3 straight hitless by Mets pitchers.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 That pickoff erases the hit, right?The streaks's still going?
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Walker notches a scoreless inning by retiring one batter[Hit, Pickoff, Walk, GiDP]
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Nothing wrong with 5 scoreless from Walker coming off an injury. One might even call it Impessive.
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Really couldn't ask for anything better. Worthy of a little extra Schaeffer sudsthan one might normally get for going five scoreless...
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Philly defense, the gift that keeps on giving.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Nimmo, after sliding in safely, did a *great* celebratory spike of his helmet. Unexpected for Brandon (but great).
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Mets scored more runs than they deserved in that bottom-5th but fewer than they should have.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Nice play by Lindor but then a textbook rundown by Escobar. Well done.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 McCann is annoying. Francisco Alvarez can't get here fast enough.

bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 The bases-loaded situation, when Escobar and McNeil struck out against that POS, looms large.

If he's going to make another out get it over with but he craps around between pitches, too. It's obviously not working so just get in the batter's box and save all of us a few minutes.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 This Buttavino guy doesn't impress me
bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Down 2, leading off, why did Nimmo swing at the 1st pitch?
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Familia vs Alonso. I am intrigued.

Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 It's an all-Einstein crew here in Section 319 tonight:-Guy who insists on saying “that's not a strike” (actually, ump is having a great night)-Guy who keeps saying “that's not a $341 million dollar swing” every time Lindor swings and misses.-Guy who wants to boo Familia for everything.-Guy who keeps saying “think Alex Gordon. It cost us the series!” when Alonso is facing Familia.They just threw a no-hitter, it's a close game, and the Mets have more wins than anyone in MLB. Sometimes I worry about our fanbase.

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Dom needs to start hitting... NOW!!!
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Walk works as well Edited April 30, 2022 by Guest
