Phils @ Mets 5/30 IGT

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tuesday Night Mets Club taking this one in from Section 103-- prepping to catch home runs off Ranger Suarez, who has a 7 ERA in 3 games this year.



Kodai Senga goes for the Mets.



Phils looking to get up after a worse start than us.

[stevejrogers]

Because of the cheaper price, my cousin (lives near Jersey Shore, while I'm in Southern Westchester County NY) and I flew to and back from Houston this past weekend out of Philly.



There was a guy in a Met cap on the plane coming home yesterday, and I'm like “you are going to the wrong city if you were planning to be at this week's series!”

Senga needs to throw strikes



Suarez is 1-2 with a 4.01 era over 11 games, four of which were starts, lifetime vs the Mets

[ashie62]

Nimmo 8

Alvarez 2

Lindor 6

Alonso 3

Vientos dh

Marte 9

McNeil 4

Pham dh

Escobar 5



Senga 1



Escobar should be replaced at least in part by Mauricio at some point



Two days off in a row for Baty

Baty takes a blow

[ashie62]

Two in a row

[Frayed Knot]

Also two LHPs in a row.

I missed it, but why is there a soccer field in Citi Field ?

[ashie62]

Three up three down



Score runs

[Edgy MD]

One of the local soccer teams played there whilst the Mets were on the road.



I guess maybe Senga needed warmer weather than Chicago to get a feel.

[ashie62]

Suarez minus change up equals runs

[ashie62]

Shooting cannons introducing the Phillies lineup has knocked out the feed



Nope, on my end reboot!

[ashie62]

K's a gogo by Senga

[Frayed Knot]

Hitting the ball to Bohm appears to not be as effective an on-base strategy compared to the recent past.

[metirish]

Hell of a catch by Nimmo

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Nick, it's Brandon, Brandon Nimmo, and i just called to say i glove you

[Edgy MD]

It's not really fair to Tommy Pham, but I feel like if he made a dive for that doink, Senga might be perfect so far. But after that catch, Senga certainly can't complain about outfielder support.



Gotta salute Nimmo going out and making that play after looking at strike three down the middle the previous half inning.

[Edgy MD]

Not to stereotype, but Brandon Marsh doesn't look like a guy who feels real good about paying taxes.

Or buying shampoo.

[Edgy MD]

He sort of has the batting stance I'd imagine for an anti-government militant, too. All elbows and knees. Like he has a huge, imaginary chip on his shoulder.

Strong, healthy butt, though.

[Edgy MD]

Phils now 1-for-18.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, wow, we're in the seventh.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like a completely different pitcher from his recent starts.

[Edgy MD]

I'm all for crediting McNeil with a sacrifice there.



I'm not sure it should be controversial. His went for a win-win strategy. Just like a sac fly. You're not explicitly trying to make an out, but going for a hit in a manner that embraces the secondary outcome of an out that advances. Give him his credit. People have been laying down bunts forever that way.



Carlos Beltran loved that play. Make the sacrifice, but try to get a hit out of it if you can.

[Edgy MD]

Kinda impressed to see Buck letting Escobar escobat here.

[Edgy MD]

Even more impressed to see Ecobar get the escobig hit!

Castellanos just returned Nim's call.
