GDT 10/5/24 New York Mets (Senga) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler)

[Patchmk88]

Get ahead of every guy and then can’t put them away. Meanwhile our hitting has just been awful.

[LoneStarPhan]

Strahm coming in for Hoffman. Hoffman did not get an out and leaves with two RISP.

[bkox]

The only question is.. how many more runs score this inning. Im guessing 2.

[bkox]

Hofffman had a really bad game in his last game.. Gotta wonder if hes dealing with a dead arm or something

[Philsmania]

The first order of business after the Mets eliminate the Phillies to fire their hitting coach

[owaistabish]

Absolutely filthy performance by the offense

[Patchmk88]

This is some of the worst pitching I’ve ever seen.

[Brashin]

Every postseason past 3 years is the same when the bats go cold the bats go super cold and of course another Wheeler gem wasted.

New York Mets 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[owaistabish]

So much for “we want to win this year noone can stop us”. This is how you hit, you deserve to be knocked out.

[Patchmk88]

Another horrible pitch

[JaxBill]

Turned it off. Bad enough watching them waste a Wherler start but those announcers made my ears bleed

[flyers19rw]

There’s nothing that Long can do with these guys. They’re going to hit the way that they feel like it. The only solution is to move out some of them. The problem is no one will want those contracts.Turner, Castellanos and Marsh are strikeouts waiting to happen whenever they walk up to the plate. When Harper, Stott and JT start swinging at stuff out of the zone, the Phillies are cooked.
Middleton deserves a refund

[Patchmk88]

Can’t put anyone away. The postseason comes and the bullpen falls apart.

[owaistabish]

Agreed - so much swing and miss solely dependent on home runs. Hugely flawed team.

Dock their pay $10k per strikeout

Dock their pay $10k per strikeout

I know you know this would be against the CBA
