[Philsmania]

This game is a joke and a disgrace.

[ButlerBulldog]

Soooo.... Three innings of position players pitching?

Hope not. This game was over the moment Leiter took the mound, but I don’t want Quinn to hurt himself.

[zambonir]

They'll probably send Leiter down after the game too. Bring up Rios for Suarez and Ramos for him.

[kikutaro]

Bour

Pitching Change: Jerry Blevins replaces Corey Oswalt, batting 9th, replacing Jeff McNeil.
Called strike (72.8 mph curveball)
Swinging strike (72.4 mph curveball)
Ball (88.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (72.5 mph curveball)

Justin Bour strikes out swinging.

Ball (90.3 mph four-seam fastball)

Ball (84.3 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (83.5 mph changeup)

Asdrubal Cabrera grounds out, shortstop Amed Rosario to first baseman Wilmer Flores.

[Varjak]

I want to use the excuse that there were ten unearned runs including all seven of Leiter's, but that doesn't excuse Leiter facing 12 batters and letting nine of them on base.

Ball (89.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Rosario, A

Defensive Substitution: Scott Kingery replaces shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, batting 3rd, playing shortstop.
Called strike (76.7 mph curveball)
In play, no out (77.7 mph curveball)

Amed Rosario singles on a line drive to left fielder Rhys Hoskins.

[LoneStarPhan]

Actually there are 11 unearned runs scored by the Mets. Ten in the 5th inning.

Suarez gave up 8 runs, only 4 earned.
Leiter charged with 7 runs, none earned.

Regardless, Leiter was atrocious and Suarez was over his head this game. The shoddy play in the field speaks for itself.

The Phillies will have to shake this off and win at least 3 of the next 4 games to avoid digging themselves into a tailspin that would surely cost them a chance at post season play. I am confident that they can bounce back. They have been able to do it before this season.

[kikutaro]

Jackson, A

Ball (78.2 mph curveball)
Ball (79.7 mph curveball)
Called strike (77.9 mph curveball)
In play, no out (78.0 mph curveball)

Austin Jackson doubles (12) on a fly ball to center fielder Odubel Herrera. Amed Rosario to 3rd.

[kikutaro]

Flores

Ball (78.0 mph curveball)
In play, out(s) (77.8 mph curveball)

Wilmer Flores lines out to shortstop Scott Kingery.

[ButlerBulldog]

I want to use the excuse that there were ten unearned runs including all seven of Leiter's, but that doesn't excuse Leiter facing 12 batters and letting nine of them on base.

Not at all. Leiter was awful. I’m willing to cut Suarez some slack because both of Franco’s errors happened while he was pitching. Leiter was just throwing batting practice.

[kikutaro]

Conforto

Ball (80.3 mph curveball)
Ball (80.2 mph curveball)
StringJoin[In play, out(s) (, , mph , ToLowerCase[], )]

Michael Conforto grounds out softly, catcher Jorge Alfaro to first baseman Justin Bour.

Frazier, T

Hit by pitch (78.4 mph curveball)

Todd Frazier hit by pitch.

[Varjak]

Yeah, there were eleven (so far). My mistake. My brain, I think, fixated on the ten-run fifth. But this is just ugly, ugly, ugly. Possible silver lining: Thank goodness it's only on Facebook.

[kikutaro]

Bautista

Ball in dirt (80.4 mph curveball)
Ball (78.0 mph curveball)
Ball (78.8 mph curveball)
Called strike (78.6 mph curveball)
Foul (78.4 mph curveball)
Ball (80.3 mph curveball)

Jose Bautista walks. Amed Rosario scores. Austin Jackson to 3rd. Todd Frazier to 2nd.
