GDT 5/16/24 New York Mets (Quintana) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Walker, T)

You've got to be kidding me.

Inability to get a hit in the bottom of the 10th was the killer.

Our bullpen is crap.

Wild pitch hurts. Down two.

The pitch Martinez hit was a good pitch at the bottom inside corner of the zone, but Martinez somehow what the other way with it. That’s he’s been such a good hitter over the last decade.

They've given this game to the Mets about 3 times now.

This is not a great way to lose a game and likely a harbinger of an upcoming cold spell.

Between the injuries and the very sloppy play of late you can feel the cold winds ablowin. Hope I'm wrong, but the other shoe is about to drop.

Alonso had to dive for it…not sure that should be an error.

that has to be the most uneducated post ive ever seen on this board.

Disappointing loss. Still 3-1 series is nice.

As bad as the Phillies played tonight, they made it close. In a long season, sometimes good teams have bad nights. Just have to come back and win the next game.

I think Sosa is a better chance not to make an out against a right handed pitcher than Clemens. Clemens K’d twice against righties tonight and walked against a lefty. Pinch hitting for Sosa was, IMO, a really bad move. Sosa likely makes the play in the next half inning and the Mets don’t score two runs.

I was at the game which kind of sucked and then didn't and then did. But they were playing with house money tonight after three straight wins. Thomson did a heck of a job managing the bullpen once he lost Walker. Had Hoffman been his normal self that might have been it. Wasn't Jose's night but wasn't Garrett's or Diaz's (again!) either. Or Dieckman's really but he did what he had to do.

I think it's hard to argue with Thomson wanting to have Clemens hit against the RHP. He faced four lefties in a row and the last two got to him. Sosa is having a nice SSS year at the plate but he's still not a good hitter against RHP especially. It's unfortunate Stott made the error. It's even more unfortunate Jose wasn't sharp (and perhaps, not ready to pitch. I really thought he was going get the 10th; he probably though the Phillies were going to win it and he'd have the night off).

MIght be looking at a .500 stretch over the next six games with the surprising Nats and Texas coming to town but I don't really see any cracks in this team. Walker might be a bigger injury worry than Schwarber or Realmuto now (be careful what you wish for).
