IGT 06/08 Mets vs Phils Let's Keep it Going Part III

[metirish]

Falling apart innit

[Frayed Knot]

Well that inning fell apart in a hurry.

Phillies two out hits this inning > NYM two out hits in May

[Lefty Specialist]

Same Mets, different continent .

[Fman99]

Ugh I woke up from my nap just in time to watch thing turn to shit.

Very drab stadium and grounds



The infield has a 1980's look about it

[metirish]

West Ham left historic Upton Park for this and their fans generally hate the place , poor atmosphere

[Gwreck]

It looks like Marte really mis-read Sosa's single and everything fell apart from there.

[Lefty Specialist]

Looked like Marte lost that one in the lights. Regardless, your pitcher needs to pick you up there, and Manaea didn't.

[MFS62]

What is Whit doing hitting .178 (and hitting homers against the Mets)?

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos forcing out Marte at 2nd which leaves the slower runner on during the double which = zero runs even though LF bobbles the ball.



They find ways to score runs, we find ways not to.

[Gwreck]

Vientos being unable to score from first on a double with two outs, and the outfielder bobbled it? Not good.

[Lefty Specialist]

Don't understand why they didn't send him there. Need to push the envelope a bit.

[Gwreck]

And on the other hand, Harper stealing while up 5 runs and no outs is an interesting choice.

2nd & 3rd, no outs ... and then no ball leaves the infield for the rest of the inning.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

It's Ranger Suarez. According to script, the Mets'd need 100 innings to score five or six runs against this guy. Who's pitching tomorrow? Because Wheeler is Cy Young caliber this season and Nola is merely all-star caliber this year.

[Frayed Knot]

No, they'd go 0h-fer-3 w/RiSP if I were pitching.

Note where they got two out hits this inning? With bases empty of course.

Summoning some inner-Rudie... it's time to stretch...

Bryce Harper strikes out swinging.

Mets doing a lot of striking out without swinging.

[kcmets]

Mets doing a lot of sucking while sucking.

[Lefty Specialist]

Typical Met game- one bad inning they can't recover from.

[Frayed Knot]

Yup! Prior to this inning the Phils had 10 base-runners (9 hits + 1 BB) ... seven of them in an eight batter span.

Mets had almost as many (9) but never more than two in any one inning.

[Edgy MD]

Could have used a little more Vientos in this game.

Nimmo has left 4 ducks on the pond, too.
