SOUPY SELLS!

Good thing too.

[ashie62]

I am truly happy.

[Gwreck]

The blind squirrel and the nut? (I'll take it anyway).

@82 pitches I was pissed about this. If Soupy didn't come thru I would have gone after TC with a vengeance. And now he smells like a rose.
Dat'sa baisebawl!

I wouldn't go that far. Just admit that he don't totally suck.

[Zvon]

Wow, that drive had some rise to it. Duda doubles off the top of the extended wall. 2 out. Mayberry.
3-2 Mets

I guess you must feel at least somewhat sheepish about your agitating this offseason to trade d'Arnaud, so you can turn the job the over outright to Plawecki, who you had more faith in going forward.

[Edgy MD]

Parnell up to 96!!

[Edgy MD]

Bad News Bears triple for Plawecki.

[Zvon]

Ha! denDecker sucks.

He made a nice catch earlier so he don't totally suck. But just there he sucked out loud.

[Zvon]

Insurance please.


Thank you Granderson.

[Edgy MD]

Ruben Tejada, nine game hitting streak.

Michael Cuddyer, completing a circuit of the bases on foot.

Suddenly, all's right with the world.

Yeah, right.

[Zvon]

Thank you Tejada and Muffystuff!

6-2 Metropolitans

Hmmm... 6 to fucking two.

Let's leave Parnell out there and save Jeurys for the big moment tomorrow.

[Fman99]

Five for 13 tonight with RISP. Over the last ten games prior to tonight, they were 4 for 72 with RISP. That's just daffy.

[Zvon]

Throw him out McKlinsky!

"Thank you Flores.
Sings: Drivers seat--toot-toot..."

7-2

[Zvon]

I agree with you Edge (Parnell for 2), not the booth. No reason to have Familia out there right now IMO.

[Edgy MD]

Or, alternatively, Robles.

But the idea that it puts the bad appearance behind him before they need him in a save situation, that thinking certainly isn't wholly without merit.

[Edgy MD]

SHMETSSSS!!!!

Hey, I got a win!!

[nymr83]

Can't find the out of town thread, but Nate Karns for Tampa threw 5 shutout innings and homered for the only run of the game!

Mets pitchers - you have been challenged!

That was off Phils Phenom Phitcher Aaron Nola making his ML debut (Nola should pitch for the New Orleans Zephyrs) who pitched pretty well himself: 6 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K. Also hit a single himself

[nymr83]

from EliasSports-

always nice to see the Phillies hit a new low!

In 20,223 games in Phillies franchise history, tonight is 1st time they lost a game 1-0 on a HR by the opposing pitcher

[Frayed Knot]

Terry had already PH'd for Parnell (the Cuddyer walk) so he wasn't an option to stay in for the 9th.
Certainly could have gone to someone other than Familia once the lead got big but managers tend to dislike getting their closers up and then not bringing them in.


I too was thinking of letting deGrom hit but it's tough to argue with even before the result turned out how it did.


Nieuwenhuis's hit should have been a hit rather than an error - but he also wasn't running immediately so I'm not going to feel sorry for him on that front.

Mets bullpen has been so good that there isn't really a drop off from deGrom to Mejia/Parnell. Plus 1 less inning on Jacob's ledger.
