IGT 6/18 Mets to clean up Philthy 6:40 Manaea vs Nola

[ashie62]

We have a direct engagement with a division rival whose fan base reaches into much of south NJ

Manaea gets the start. He will not be piggybacking today so therein lies the mystery 

Aaron Nola has had a rough time of it. His ERA is 5+ and his whip is 1.47

I am hopeful Nola doesn't piece it together and resemble his all star past

LGM!

About time we are playing the Phillies #LGM

This is certainly the one that's most available to grab.

I'm trying to convince myself that pitching Devin Williams once a week will really pay off in the second half.

[Edgy MD]

Mets sure dragged their feets on posting their lineup, but it's pretty much the usual.

[ashie62]

It's going to be hot and windy there. Let's keep Schwarber in the yard

[Edgy MD]

But the yard DOES NOT hold Soto.

[Edgy MD]

And Young gives a hustle lesson.

[ashie62]

Soto's OPS is approaching 1.000

He has responded well to my scolding 

[Edgy MD]

A one-run lead is a start, but 41 pitches from Nola through two innings is also encouraging.

[Edgy MD]

And yet, a leadoff triple from Edmundo is not.

Soto goes Twopher Grace
