Phillies at Mets IGT June 1

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

x-Met Taijuan Walker (4-2, 5.57) opposes Max Scherzer (4-2, 3.54) in a 1:10 pm start on a very nice day in NYC. I'll miss most of this of course.

[Edgy MD]

It's your sweep to finish. Good work so far.

I'm always torn on these weekday matinees. Do I attempt to follow it while also working, or listen on XM on my phone in real time? Or do I ignore all social media and watch an SNY replay this evening? I have so many errands I could otherwise be doing tonight, but of course none of them are as enjoyable as watching a Mets game.

Tom McCarthy and Ben Davis whined about Lindor's throw to 1st on the DP yesterday. Tom McCarthy stunk as a Mets announcer, is a lousy football announcer, and his son works for the Mets (so he's a nepo-announcer). He should STFU and concentrate on using words with few syllables so Phillies' fans can understand what he is saying.

Scherzer fell asleep on that double steal. I could see in Turner's eyes that he was running.

We have the less than Max today

[Edgy MD]

Did Keef just say, "He who laughs last, laughs last"?



The man ain't been too sharp this series.

[ashie62]

Keith has aged, we all hope to

[Edgy MD]

Walker is laboring. Seems like he's seven innings into his start.



Interesting to see Álvarez batting ninth again.

[ashie62]

It is pretty warm out. Maybe Walker is feeling that



Max looks real good here, horse mode

[vtmet7]

getting really sick of seeing Voglebus in the lineup...I think that I have more faith in Nido getting an RBI with a runner on 2nd, then I have confidence that Voglebus will drive in the runner...

[vtmet7]

I am sure that this has been discussed before but...I really don't like all the betting information that SNY and MLB Network supply during the games, highlight shows and pre/post game shows...Shoeless Joe must be rolling over in his grave when he hears it...

[ashie62]

Wheels are turning



Walker is not long for this game



Walker looks lighter than I remember him

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see McNeil mcbreak through.



It would be nice to run Walker, but I don't know. Waiting him out certainly works. I hope they are patient enough.

[vtmet7]

pete could have bunted for a hit and RBI with how much room was between the 1B/2B...but he whiffs against a groundball pitcher that doesn't get a lot of swings and misses...

[ashie62]

Hey! Jose Quintana sighting working his way back in the bullpen

[bmfc1]

If Vogelbach doesn't walk he's almost worthless at the moment.

[ashie62]

CAN DO

[Edgy MD]

There 'tis.

[ashie62]

What if Vogelbach doesn't walk and homers?

The moment will pass.

[Edgy MD]

That's the best time to be swinging.

for most players...but not when he can't hit the ball with any authority this season...

[Edgy MD]

For all players.

[ashie62]

Pete's not hitting with authority?

[vtmet7]

he's hitting .136 with a .136 slugging percentage this season with "Runners in Scoring Position"



3 singles in 22 At Bats prior to today's failures...
