Francisco Lindor (S) SS

Juan Soto (L) RF

Starling Marte ® DH

Pete Alonso ® 1B

Mark Vientos ® 3B

Tyrone Taylor ® CF

Jeff McNeil (L) 2B

Luis Torrens ® C



Kodai Senga (RH) P

7-5, 2.58 ERA, 99 SO

[Gwreck]

I have a hard time seeing this lineup as anything other than suboptimal with Taylor in there over both Mullins and Baty

[ashie62]

Turner 6

Schwarber DH

Harper 3

Realmuto 4

Bohm 5

Marsh 7

Kepler 9

Bader 8

Stott 4



Sanchez 11-4 2.46 169K

[Frayed Knot]

Mets are 7-14 in August, Phils are 15-7

Pretty much sums up the state of the division 'race' right there.

[Gwreck]

Mullins hasn't been a switch hitter since 2020, and the splits most certainly do not favor Taylor.

Senga is going to have to come close to matching Sanchez. Mets can't support a 4-5 inning mess from him, which has been his operandi for quite a few starts now. I believe he could he even lose a turn if he is less than effective tonight. Sproat, Tong, Megill etc

[ashie62]

Good to know. I certainly hope he gets it right. The Phillies can score in bunches



The Mets faced Sanchez in April. He only went 4 innings giving up 2 earned runs

[Edgy MD]

Probably not the right time to dive, there, Tyrone Taylor.

[ashie62]

Boy did Senga get squeezed and disaster ensues



All on the ump

[ashie62]

Not the desired start here

[ashie62]

Senga didn't get too rattled and came out ok



He looks decent to me anyway



That missed strike was pretty bad

[ashie62]

Wtg soblo

[Edgy MD]

Is "soblo" a keyboarding miscue or a derisive nickname?

[Edgy MD]

Please don't spend another night telling me about how Mets starters don't go deep.



Yeah, Phillies starters have gone deeper, but they are leaving out that Wheeler isn't aboard anymore.

[ashie62]

The ability of the Mets starters is somewhat overblown. There are certainly other issues that aren't mentioned enough

[whippoorwill]

Watching on Phillies station with John

Kruk - awesome sauce

[ashie62]

Kruk is eating on air? Sounds tasty

[ashie62]

Let's start with a base runner and work to get him home



Bunts stolen bases and hit and runs are welcome

[Frayed Knot]

Pitches thru 2 innings:

Senga = 42

Sanchez = 27

[ashie62]

It has become a grind for Senga

[ashie62]

Senga continues to get squeezed imho

[ashie62]

3-0



Unsurmountable lead

[Frayed Knot]

65/3

You simply can't have any kind of sustained success when you're racking up numbers like these Every. Single. Start.

[Fman99]

He was squoze. And then rattled. And so it goes

[MFS62]

Bohm has a .258 career BA against the Mets (from the UMDB), but it seems it is 100 points higher.

A real PITA.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Phils have five hits including three for XB

Mets have one ball out of the infield: Taylor F-8

[Frayed Knot]

Gary has been 'pre-declaring' GiDPs a lot lately, and has been wrong on many of them.

He did it twice tonight early, although not in the two most recent GiDP situations.
