IGT 9/23/16: PHI@NYM -- The Continuation

[Edgy MD]

First trip to the plate for Smokey, but he's learned from the best.

[Zvon]

The kid looks pretty happy.

whoops.

[Edgy MD]

Stop futzing around, Smokes.

[Frayed Knot]

Terry forced to quit being a Smoker before he wanted to.

[Edgy MD]

He telegraphed that pitch. His aggressive nod and rush to next pitch let Ruf and everybody else know he was coming back with a heater.

[Centerfield]

Leave Goedell in right?

I'd leave anyone effective until they get into trouble.

Need 9 outs.

[Centerfield]

Pitch this Franco guy up.

[Zvon]

I don't know what to make of this. The out homered team usually loses these days.

I always endorse my "hit a bump" method. 1 or 2 bumps? Depends on how big #1 bump is.

[Fman99]

With this bullpen...

Yeah. I cringe anytime I hear stats like that without context.

Incidentally, the Mets are 81-0 this year in games where they've outscored the opposition.

Robles induces the inning ending double play to get out of the inning.

Now, how about some insurance runs?

[Edgy MD]

I must be way behind in my feed. I read that [bigpurple:3fhesqd5]Whew![/bigpurple:3fhesqd5] a good 75 seconds before that double play came to pass.

[Frayed Knot]

The Angels are in Houston tonight with LAA wearing their red tops and the Astros their Orange ones.
Not a good look. You almost can't tell who is on what team.

[Zvon]

Come on Kellah!

Oh, Lags? To bunt? Meh. Just get some fuckin runs, I don't care how you do it.

[Edgy MD]

Kind of sending the other team a memo that you're bunting here.

[Fman99]

It's nice to see a team besides the Mets try to get the lead runner on a bunt and have it blow up in their face.

[Edgy MD]

Give him an RBI!

[Fman99]

Wow. It's the surgence of Eric Campbell (*not a resurgence since he's never really done anything of consequence).

I'm prescient.

[Frayed Knot]

Terry over-playing things this inning ... and he comes out smelling like roses so far.

[RealityChuck]

He's lucky he's got the 40-man roster.

[Fman99]

Nicely done! 10-5 and keep the padding a-comin please.

[Edgy MD]

Well, they all have the same roster.

Laggy was going into the outfield anyhow, so why not pinch-hit for Conforto?

[Edgy MD]

It's the night of relievers swinging the bat.

[Edgy MD]

And Hansel just tried to bunt with one hand.

That don't work.

MLB.tv is definitely lagged. As far as I know, Campbell just made it 9-5.
