IGT 9/5 Phils at Mets Keep on Rollin

[Fman99]

I think my first multi game IGT streak of 2017. deGrom vs. Ben Lively (I don't know who that is). Normal 7 PM ish start.

Well, he's not dead.

This will be the 10th or 11th game I've seen this season but the first deGrom start. Section 516 tonight

Ben Lively (I don't know who that is)

I know that he's a 6' 4" 25 y/o RH rookie, originally drafted by the Reds, who's made 10 ML starts this year including one against us that wound up as a 2-1 Mets
win (thank you JdG) back in late June.

I also know that he's nowhere near as nice to look at as Blake Lively

Aside from that I got nothing.

That's Philly's top prospect J. P. Crawford making his ML debut at 3B tonight: 'Young man we'd like to introduce you to Mr. deGrom'

The touts who follow such stuff started to sour a bit on him this year as his stats more or less plateaued and/or backslid, but he's still just 22.
He's essentially a SS but the Phils are going to have to figure how they want to integrate him into their current roster.

If you've got to play Nimmo, I'm having trouble figuring out why you don't hit that guy leadoff every time.

Because pop-outs to start the game are so much more .... umm, something.

If "Nimmo" is Creole for "Cespedes" and "Lagares" is Creole for "Conforto", I like our chances tonight.

And on that note... leadoff pop-out.

[Edgy MD]

Plate one as the crazy notion of d'Arnaud batting cleanup pays off.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Kim looks like a real bruiser out there in left. Puts me in mind of Luzinski.

Betting on Reyes to pop-out, whether he leads off or not, is like a 50/50 proposition these days.

3 unearned runs? Jeeeze.

[Edgy MD]

Save your invocations for pitcher homeruns.

Not quite.

Lively homers in the 4th.

5-1 not us.

[Guest 41Forever]

This is not going well.

Luckily, the Phillies are team that we can come back on. But let's not spot them any larger of a lead.

[Frayed Knot]

Without a comeback here, that'll make it six losses in the last eight JdG starts.
Prior to that the Mets had won eight straight with deGrom getting the win in all of them.

[Guest 41Forever]

And Smoker, with one pitch, pretty much puts the game out of reach.

[Centerfield]

Let's shut down deGrom and send him home.

Before his arm spontaneously combusts.

[Zvon]

Lets pray for rain.

Yeah, it's time. No home though, grab a clipboard. Look busy and interested.

[Guest 41Forever]

September is going to be a very, very long month.

[Guest 41Forever]

Did Nimmo just get a low-five and point to the heavens for reaching on a walk in a 9-1 game? Or did he get a hit and I missed it?

[Guest 41Forever]

I like McGowan. He needs a haircut, but he's rocking the stirrups!

[Fman99]

Well the Mets do suck, but, on the bright side, I love the baseball card review. Perfect way to spend the blowout innings.

[Guest d'Kong76]

There's a game going on! Really, no other booth in baseball could pull this
off without getting some serious ribbing.

I've got the radio feed tonight

It's weird, I have the broadcast itself in the 7th inning stretch but the scoreboard thing (at the top) and all players stat totals (below) don't go beyond the 4th frame. What a rip.

The TV booth whipped out the baseball card box?

[MFS62]

I'm gonna' turn off the game and just look at Blake Lively.
