Senga work the first batter in the 5th inning to a 3-2 count and hits him



Really?

Don't they usually not play on Monday?

[ashie62]

The mikes are bolted in. Get over it, geez

[Frayed Knot]

Between the 3rd base coach's hold on Marsh's double to RF, and then Harper cutting off the throw from RF (and/or not relaying it) the Phils may have gifted us two runs

[negative one on their side of the ledger and a +1 on ours]

[ashie62]

Soto survives a kerfuffle

[Frayed Knot]

Senga: 92 pitches to get 12 outs, more than 50% higher than what you'd like to see.

92 is a decent total for six full innings, not four plus one batter.

I had tuned out for dinner, and then tuned back in to see that equipment delay, and after 20 minutes, I still have no idea what precipitated it.



It was fascinating theater of the absurd. Two teams, four umpires, all walking around the field, shrugging at each other and occasionally pointing.

It would be awesome to have a finish to 2025 like we had in 2024 (hopefully with a WS ring at the end).

[Centerfield]

So glad to see Vientos hitting again.



I guess this is a thing these days. I saw Michael Harris was having a similar resurgence in Atlanta.

I was wondering why Castillo wasn't starting the 6th with a lefty batter up. But between the lengthy warm-up time he had in the pen and that

ridiculous 14 minute delay for Mic-Gate, to bring him back would have been after his third up-down despite pitching to just two batters.

At least that was Luis Rojas's explanation for why Rogers started the inning.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil does not need to be bunting. He can advance the runner by grounding to the right.

Maybe Taylor got struck by the same lightning?

[ashie62]

This could be a turning point win. Some unlikely heroes tonight

[Centerfield]

Vientos doesn't seem like he's even the same player.



Completely different hitter.

[Frayed Knot]

2:20 just to get through 6 innings.

Of course Mic-Gate had a lot to do with that, but it's been slow otherwise. First because Senga was all over the place and then Sanchez was later.

[Edgy MD]

It has been all Mets since Micgate, though.



Micgate is the new Grimace!

[ashie62]

I see Ryan Helsley warming up



I hope Vientos doesn't miss any time

[Frayed Knot]

I agree with the hold at 3rd. LF was very shallow when he got to that.

[ashie62]

Pour it on!!!

Except when they do.

[Frayed Knot]

Please don't forget to score more runs, Mets.





oe: Torrens has very good hearing.

Nimmo should be on third.

I guess it doesn't matter!

[Edgy MD]

I was just thinking that the Mets have done all of this without the longball.



I just checked the scoreboard, and not only did the Mets just go up 10-3, but the Phillies just fell behind by the same amount.

As Mr. Spock would have said, "Logical".

Torrens saw Alvarez taking batting practice tonight before the game and said, "I can do that, too".



Later

[Centerfield]

If Helsley is good…
