IGT 4/12/17: NYM@PHA -- Wheeler Wednesday

[Edgy MD]

Hardly a must, but the Mets could do worse than to wear a patch of their own.

Wheels' ERA is down five runs from the start of the game.

What Gary is forgetting is that Koosman became a better hitter as his career went on.
Now better is a relative turn, but while he WAS awful when he first came up, he morphed into less awful later.

[Edgy MD]

Same is true of Leiter. I mean, Leiter eventually came up with a butcher boy gimmick swing that worked for him one time in 10.

[Edgy MD]

Here comes the train.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Pretty nice ball four to Confortoboom to load the bases... thanks, Blue!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Here comes the train.

Next station stop: Angry tweets from Conshohocken.

[Zvon]

Conforto, the first Mets lead off hitter this season to reach 3 times in one game.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Probably the first time that Conshohocken has been mentioned in the CPF! I lived in Conshohocken for three months back in 1988!

In an apartment complex on Fayette Street.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I had to Google it, thought it was a joke I didn't get or something.

[metirish]

Liking these games so far

I only know the Curve from the NBC10 traffic reports.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Wheels leaving with the bases jammed in the sixth. It's nice to see
Philly reverted back to Shea-south of old.

ruh roh

[Frayed Knot]

Could've left Wheeler in to do that!

[Fman99]

Robles taking a big O'Flaherty on the mound out there tonight. Ugh.

[MFS62]

That guy's becoming a real pain in the ERA.

Later

[Zvon]

Crap, I ran to the store and missed the bad stuff. Well, at least we are still winning. Robles? A Franco granny?!?!

[Edgy MD]

That's some viscous perspiration Robles is sweating.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Okay, my eyes are back from the Rangers' Game 1, and they don't love what this game has become.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Would be nice to get a few more runs, this place is always a last-
licks bomb or two from a sad airplane ride.

[Frayed Knot]

Duda with a bit of a glare at Neris's celebration of the strikeout.

[Fman99]

Salas dealing. We need Flo, so we can get some insurance (and cause she's hot).

That high pitch is where that long swing hurts you, Travvie.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Reed works fast.

[Edgy MD]

One man down.
