GDT 8/7/21 New York Mets (Megill) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R)

[Sabin]

You know, I actually cringed for a second when I saw Llovera coming in. But then I thought, nah, we've got a five run lead. He can't blow that...

[Philsmania]

Girardi's overuse of the bullpen is a killer in this game. This is why the decision to move Suarez to the rotation is absolutely dunderheaded.

[Philsmania]

Tuning out. I can't watch anymore.

[Sabin]

Never a doubt. Girardi's a genius with the bullpen.

[bkox]

OHH Yeah!

[Patchmk88]

Thank you lord!

[Varjak]

Another routine win (for Philadelphia's varying definitions of "routine").

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Had em all the way, Harry

[BaseballCat]

[bkox]

[Philsmania]

Checked back to see they won! Game-and-a-half lead!

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Checked back to see they won!

You gotta learn - turn the sound off and squint.
