GDT 8/14/22 Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ New York Mets (Bassitt)

[Patchmk88]

Well if we see the Mets in the playoffs that’s who we are going to face and we are going to need more than one run between the three of them.

[kikutaro]

Jeff McNeil

Foul (91. mph changeup)
Ball (95.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (90. mph changeup)
Ball (96. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (96.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Jeff McNeil walks. Luis Guillorme to 2nd.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Wheels falling off.

[LoneStarPhan]

Little pop into center and two more runs score. Marsh overran ball and then lobbed it back into the infield. Runner broke for the plate after having stopped at third. Throw got to the plate in time but not handled by JT.

Phillies pretty much have come apart in this inning. An ugly look this inning. Only hit that was really hit well was the initial double.

[kikutaro]

James McCann

Mound Visit.
In play, run(s) (95.3 mph sinker)

James McCann singles on a fly ball to center fielder Brandon Marsh. Luis Guillorme scores. Jeff McNeil scores. James McCann to 2nd.

New York Mets 5 - Philadelphia Phillies 0

[zambonir]

Well it's hardly news we're still not as good as the Mets, and will likely lose a series to them without home field barring things breaking exactly right (as they did on Friday). I always figured they lose this series 1-2 and hope they take the home series 2-1. In a five or seven-game playoff series, it becomes a toss-up, with the home team holding the edge.

Of course today their bats are getting it done (or our ace isn't).

[kikutaro]

Brandon Nimmo

Ball (96.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (96.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.5 mph slider)
Swinging strike (96.6 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (90. mph slider)

Brandon Nimmo flies out to center fielder Brandon Marsh.

and hope they take the home series 2-1.

It’s a 4-game series coming up next weekend - doubleheader on Saturday. Need to hope for 3 out of 4. Will be a tough challenge with the Mets starting pitchers

[zambonir]

ah yes. wish I could be there for that (though I believe it's also split).

So yeah, if they can somehow win three out of four, they won the 7 game series. And if not, not.

[LoneStarPhan]

At least hope to split the four with the Mets next weekend at home. If they can take 3 of the 4, it would be great. Need to win the series in Cincinnati to end this road trip.

Phillies again get two on with no outs. Failed to score last inning. Not looking good this inning as two Phillies K by swinging at balls well out of the strike zone. Phillies hitters just cannot lay off those pitches.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Phillies not coming through with RISP. It’s been a while since one of our guys crossed home plate.

[kikutaro]

Bohm swing and missed two that were well out of the strike zone before lining out on another pitch out of the strike zone. Hoskins took pitches and got the walk. Vierling, Stott, and Bohm made outs by swinging at those pitches out of the strike zone. 14 innings without a run now. The last two, the Philies leave 5 on base. Phillies hitters are beating themselves.

[EDmuch]

Sort of demoralizing

[kikutaro]

Starling Marte

Called strike (93.5 mph sinker)
In play, no out (80.5 mph curveball)

Starling Marte singles on a ground ball to left fielder Matt Vierling.
