IGT — 4/23/2025: Let Us Transcend

[The Hot Corner]

Nice catch by Nimmo for the 1st out in the 6th. Peterson isn't exactly going the Phillies.



Sharp single with one out and Peterson's day is done.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of defensive chances in this game. Old skool.

[Edgy MD]

Coming on late in a tie game and whiffing two lefty Phillie sluggers in a row. Danny Young just pulled a Feliciano.

[roger_that]

Danny Young Ks Harper and Schwarber! Mendoza's baseball IQ climbs a few more notches.



Now to jump on the Phillies' bullpen.

[The Hot Corner]

I must admit, I didn't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about Danny Young facing Harper & Schwarber, but he did a great job, striking them both out.

[roger_that]

Baty: "Hell, I coulda done that, Luisangel!"

[ashie62]

Great time to hit hit Soto

[Frayed Knot]

I don't think that Lindor and Soto have both had a hit in the same inning this year.

That may not be entirely correct, but once or twice tops!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We should sign the real Juan Soto and send this guy to Syracuse

[ashie62]

Ughh

Once. Back on 4/7 vs TOR: Lindor bunt single, Soto RBI 2B

Which, when you consider that they always hit in the same inning except following an inning where Lindor made the 3rd out, is kind of lame.

Bootsy looks gassed.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Huge!

[The Hot Corner]

Gary with an emphatic strike out call on Stott. Unfortunately, it was outside. Stout eventually out.



Soto throws a strike to the plate to gun Down Castellano and keep the score tied.

[roger_that]

SOTO comes up big with a throw from RF. Phillies challenge. Umps disallow.

[Frayed Knot]

Good on the umps for sticking to the time limit. I mean, they weren't winning the challenge anyway, but let that limit slide by a couple seconds and soon teams will want a full minute to contemplate their decision.

[roger_that]

Excellent play by both Soto and Senger. Huge play.



Did Soto have a reputation as a gunner? Two excellent throws against the Phils.

[The Hot Corner]

Time for a Pete bomb.

I'll take one from anybody.

[Frayed Knot]

High wire act time in top 9, aka: Diaz

[Lefty Specialist]

Hope we get Good Diaz, not 'it's not a save situation' Diaz.

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, that was Good Diaz.

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda come in spikes first, Castellanos.



Time to pick a hero.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, Edwin's evil twin was left locked in his cage today.

No someone go out and win this one before we get to the clown car rules.

[ashie62]

Acoonie!

[The Hot Corner]

Acuna with a 2 out single. Now turn it into a double with a stolen base.

[ashie62]

Great, but a stolen base might have ended this

[Frayed Knot]

Surprised that there was no SB attempt but maybe the thinking was you'd start the 10th inning with Lindor - Solo - Pete as long as the runner didn't make the 3rd out.

[Edgy MD]

Acoonie is the only Met baserunner that doesn't have to bend over to talk to Antoine Richardson.



Well, we get Diaz for the 10th and Lindor as our magic runner..

[ashie62]

Alvarado had Acuna leaning one time. That's all I can figure



I don't think the single to right would have plated Acuna from second after an SB
