IGT 9/4 Phils at Mets in the Who Cares Bowl

[Fman99]

1:10 start, Montero vs. Al Leiter's shitty nephew.

1) It might actually go above 65 degrees tomorrow
2) It might actually be sunny
3) And I might actually be able to swim one last time. It's been a shitty summer.

Who cares bowl indeed?

Have they called up anybody who needs a cup of coffee yet?

[Edgy MD]

They called up recent acquirees Jamie Callahan and Jacob Rhame in time for both of them to debut in game one of Saturday's double header. Supposedly Terry recently reported his shock that neither had ever (ever!) pitched on consecutive days in the minors, despite both being on the relief track for several years, and each coming out of different organizations.

Expect a McGowan return soon enough. Las Vegas' season ends tomorrow, and they should have two open roster slots, should they want to add any non-roster players.

Not that yesterday was entirely his fault but Flexy probably isn't ready to beat major league teams. I think its Mickey Jannis time

[Guest d'Kong76]

Reyes SS
Aoki RF
Cabrera 3B
Smith 1B
Plawecki C
Nimmo LF
Lagares CF
Cecchini 2B
Montero P

[Edgy MD]

Thus begins the post-Rosario era.

[ashie62]

More like the toilet bowl.

[Frayed Knot]

33 combined HRs this season for that starting lineup, from a team that STILL leads the NL in HRs* and could have easily had four guys in their everyday lineup with 30+ each




* are actually one behind the Cubs now

[Guest d'Kong76]

Hernandez 2B
Galvis SS
Williams CF
Hoskins LF
Joseph 1B
Franco 3B
Kim RF
Rupp C
Leiter P

[Edgy MD]

Cecchini, time for tagging school!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big ass-kicking going on, Montero pitching and it's not us getting kicked!

[Edgy MD]

The remaining senior Mets started the attack and now the novices are getting their game on.

[Edgy MD]

Monte going to the Matt Harvey School of Bunting.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That'll teach this kid's uncle to work for the Yes Network.

[Chad ochoseis]

Reyes goes first to third on a groundout, proving that baseball is still fun even when it doesn't matter.

[Frayed Knot]

Nuthin' like taking a dose of Phillies for what ails ya'
Of course I was thinking the same thing about the Reds last week.

[Edgy MD]

Terry Collins: We're up 8-0. Get the scrubs ready to come into the game.

Dick Scott: Umm, Terry?

[Frayed Knot]

Tough play for Aoki, being from the other side of the world he's used to seeing the sun from a completely different angle.

[Guest 41Forever]

I don't know what Montero is doing differently -- but don't stop!!!

[Chad ochoseis]

An effective Montero in 2018 would go a long way towards solving the Mets' problems.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe stiffening up during that long inning.

[Edgy MD]

But gets the big DP grounder and avoids the big inning!

[Guest 41Forever]

Sewald doesn't seem to be on today.

[Edgy MD]

I like 10-0 more than 10-5.

A LOT more.

[Guest 41Forever]

Adding one more, 11-5.

[Frayed Knot]

Not just 12 different cleanup hitters this year (as was being discussed by Gary & Ron) but they've had one (or more) from each of the positions (including DH) except for SS & P

[Edgy MD]

That's because Nimmo is the Guy.

[Edgy MD]

Hansel Robles: I'm not tired, Terry.

Terry Collins: Well, I'm tired of you.

[Frayed Knot]

"And they win the damn thing ..."

OK, it never got quite that bad.
