Slumpy McNeil gets a day off too

Mendick was a spark plug type as a White Sock

SNY says Jeff has a sprained wrist and will test it pre-game to se if he can play today. (As a substitute)

Anyone else stuck with the Phillies feed despite selecting WPIX11

Fixed it

2-0



Mandick couldn't get the run in but Zimmo singled

[Edgy MD]

Schwarber getting umpirial respect.

[Edgy MD]

Not enough disrespect to keep the Phils from tying it.

[Edgy MD]

Three straight hits to start the inning is encouraging.



Nimmo stopping at third isn't so much. Not with their recent record of plating baserunners.



But LGM!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This inning seems promising

[Edgy MD]

Damn, does Alonso love to chase that slider away with ducks on the pond.

[Edgy MD]

A non-double play and Tommy Pham shooting one through the drawn-in infield, and the Mets take a two-run lead with a Phillies assist.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

2 runs don't seem like enough

[Edgy MD]

No it doesn't, but as Max gets a double play to end the sixth, it's all bullpen from this point forward.

[ashie62]

With this bullpen two is likely not enough



Max did his job

[bmfc1]

Congratulations to Max for pitching SIX INNINGS and giving up two runs. What a $43M warrior!

[ashie62]

They did Escobar a favor. He will start everyday on a team 8 or 9 over 500

[ashie62]

Isn't it an inning earlier than you would like to use Ottavino

[Edgy MD]

Otto still cares.

[ashie62]

Yes he does. They could use a third guy here to supplement Otto and Robertson

[Edgy MD]

They have one. Or they had one. His name is Smitty and he's due back from suspension on Monday

[ashie62]

This is what I meant

[ashie62]

That works!!

[Edgy MD]

Damn, Guillorme likes to do exotic flips on his double-plays.



Great work.

[Frayed Knot]

So here's to you Mr. Robertson!





now ya gotta go out and do it next inning too

[ashie62]

I'd like to see Narvaez catch more with Alvarez being the DH on those days.

[Edgy MD]

Baty or Vogie shoulda maybe hit for Pham in the ninth.

[Frayed Knot]

I have absolutely no data to back this up, but our percentage of hitting into GIDPs when faced with a potential GIDP situation seems extraordinarily high.
