IGT 08/20/22 - NYM@PHI, Game 1

[bmfc1]

Trevor Williams goes for the Mets against Zach Wheeler for the Phillies at 1 PM ET. Kyle Schwarber has hit 4 HRs off Williams. Trevor has not started against PHI this season but pitched two scoreless innings in relief on August 14. Wheeler got his ass kicked by the Mets last weekend, giving up 6 runs. I wrote something that was factually inaccurate in my thread starter for last night's game (that I have edited) which tells me that either you are too polite to correct me, and we know that's not true, or you don't read the comments. The Phillie Phanatic is like a hack comic doing the same tired, obvious act for years. He's the Gallagher of mascots because we once thought that the watermelon smashing was funny but after a few years, you need to do something else. Gallagher is still smashing watermelons and the Phanatic is still smashing helmets. Mr. Met is the finest mascot in sports, a class act who improves every year. The Phillie Phanatic is a giant, green, POS.

I like the Phanatic. He always pays his gambling debts quickly, holds his liquor, and whenever I arrive in Philly, there's a new restaurant he'll take me to and he never misses.

[Willets Point]

I thought the Phanatic's Keith Hernandez doll/effigy was pretty funny actually.

[kcmets]

I'm phine with Phanatic, but I bet he can't bring it on trumpet like Mr. Met.

Michael Perez is not about to give you the chance to miss him.



The Phils also start their lefthanded backup catcher in game one, and that increases the German-American factor in their lineup to six.

Damn. 0/5 with 5 K's and they run Naquin right back out there the next day.

I remember Kingman's five-strikeout game and Ryan Thompson's.



I think Newsday had a back page that read, "K-K-K-K-KINGMAN!"

[G-Fafif]

I was at Frank Taveras's five-strikeout game in 1979. He madeit up to me by stealing three bases in the Dave Kingman 3-HR (as a Cub) game later that same season.

I wrote a parody of the song "Landslide" about Thompson, with the key words being:

"And the curve ball brought him down".



Later

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Rhys Hoskins, none out of none umpires would have called that a ball.

[kcmets]

Eight straight AB's ending with a K for Naquin.



Anyone know the team record for consecutive whiffs?

[Edgy MD]

Chasing Nimmo is bad Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Mets enter the hit column on an infield roller by Marte in the fourth.



He can run when he wants to.

[Edgy MD]

What a gift from whoever put the second/home double-steal in the Phillies' playbook.

[Gwreck]

Good play. Very smart by Lindor to go home to ensure the run didn't score.



But Perez: don't argue with the umpire. Just go over and tag him again!

[Edgy MD]

What a gift from whoever decided to challenge the call for the Phillies.



If Perez had missed the tag, how do you reset the game-play? Clearly he had all the time in the world to re-tag the runner who flew well past the plate, but didn't see the need after getting the out call from blue.

[ashie62]

Michael Perez! Two RBI's

[bmfc1]

Me: It's gotta be the 7th inning by now... WHAT?

[kcmets]

Chasing Zack is huge, he's been en fuego at home this season.

[MFS62]

Good news - Naquin finally hits the ball

Bad news - he makes an out.



Later

[Edgy MD]

Looks like we're going to try and bucket-brigade it through the bullpen all day.



Also looks like Brett Baty doesn't have David Wright's popup-catching skillz. McNeil does, and more, though, and the Mets get out of the inning with only one run home.

[Edgy MD]

Shall we show them how to do the second/home double-steal again?

[bmfc1]

Maybe Cora was too conservative there.

[MFS62]

I hope that failure to bring home tack-on runs doesn't bite them in the butt.



Later

[Edgy MD]

Brad Hand sighting is nice.

[Edgy MD]

Mets on their fifth pitcher. I think the intent is to use Diaz in this one.

[Edgy MD]

Get Nelson up.
