Yeah, the obviousness of walking Harper is just one more reason why the magic-runner-on-second is a scourge.

Other dreams that died along the road.

You get a guy named Jefforson Escorcha, and you keep him for the full six years.

That's what you get when you mess with Seaver. You really oughta know better.

The delayed calls from this ump are ridonculous. Lindor on second. Let's go win this thing.

Here comes Cutch.

If we double-switch out the guy who makes the last out, do we have to use the pitcher as the designated runner, or do we have the option of choosing the previous hitter also?

Ranger Suarez should be traded to Texas for somebody named Phil.

Happy place. Happy face.

Peraza may have been the better pick over Almora here. And he goes down.

That was bizarre.

Seven-inning games can be deceptively leveling in that they help out teams with shallower pitching staffs, which is part of what's going on today.

Flerb.

Not canny, McCanny.

Well, the walk brings the GiDP back into play, but sets up a bases-loaded walk, too.

No GiDP gonna happen now.

Nola to the bench. Not comfortable with the DP set up. Phillie's infield defense gives me a little more calm, though.

I'm not sure there is a strike zone this afternoon, but I hear you. It's kind of disappointing that Nola didn't get an announcement.

Another one of those bunt singles, Guillorme!

Not a small chance that TaiJuan gets hit for this inning.

Nola has clearly stolen deGrom's soul.

The bad news is ... one of us is going to have sleep with Alonso.

I'd've bunted three times before going down. Come on.

OK, gentlemen, we've got to protect us some Seaver here.

The at-bat by Walker contained some comical calls too. The last pitch was right down the middle and it took a moment for the ump to call it a strike ... and there was doubt in that moment. And Nola sets a club record by fanning eight straight Mets.

Megill has been performing well all year. He's really been getting it done since the day he was drafted. They'd be foolish not to give him more opportunities.
