GDT 4/6/21 New York Mets (Stroman) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Anderson, Ch)

[LoneStarPhan]

Just when you think Vince might have it figured out, he proves that he doesn't. Let's come back and get out of this inning.

[zambonir]

Maybe he's just a one-inning reliever.

Kevin Pillar

Mound Visit.
Ball in dirt (82.4 mph knuckle curve)

Ball (92.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Kevin Pillar walks. Luis Guillorme to 3rd. James McCann to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Vince loses it after one good inning, now not coming close. This game is not out of reach yet but......

[Patchmk88]

Guy just isn’t any good.

[zambonir]

This makes no sense to me. He's obviously lost his stuff. Announcers are saying you don't burn one of your high-leverage guys here, which I don't even agree with, but they still have Hale, and Bradley and Kintzler could both straddle innings.

New York Mets 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[Patchmk88]

Wtf is Girardi doing

[LoneStarPhan]

This was a very winnable game. Velasquez just doesn't have it in his second inning out there. One really good inning and now one really bad (third of an) inning.

I don't know that they need Velasquez in this bullpen. I think I would have rather seen them keep Watson.

[zambonir]

This one's on Joe but maybe he just wanted to find out fast whether or not Vince could get out of it. You manage for the whole season, not just to win this one at all costs. You know afterwards he'll say that he looks forward to seeing Vince meet the challenge next time. Or maybe he won't give him the second inning next time.

New York Mets 4 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[LoneStarPhan]

Mets now have 4 runs on only 2 hits. Walks are killers.

Hey, we knew they were going to lose some games this season.

[LoneStarPhan]

Vince walked 4 and they all scored. Six runs on three hits for the Mets.

Velasquez has a strange stat line this season. He has a 27.00 ERA and he has not given up a hit yet this season.

It will take a very improbable come back for the Phillies to pull this one out.
