GDT 9/17/20 New York Mets (Lugo, S) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola)

[LoneStarPhan]

Two pitches to put the Mets ahead.

UNBELIEVABLE. Don't think you could write a horror story like the 2020 Phillies bullpen.

[kikutaro]

Michael Conforto

Ball (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (88.1 mph cutter)
Called strike (92.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (78.7 mph knuckle curve)

Michael Conforto singles on a line drive to right fielder Bryce Harper.

[Patchmk88]

I’d prefer Workman took the first bus out of town.

[LoneStarPhan]

So now we know, it doesn't matter who scores first. Tonight, Mets go ahead by 3 runs but the Phillies still manage to blow a 3 run lead.

[kikutaro]

J.D. Davis

Foul (87.4 mph cutter)
Called strike (91.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)

J.D. Davis called out on strikes.

[LoneStarPhan]

I’d prefer Workman took the first bus out of town.

Maybe he could drive the bus. Seriously, Workman is a free agent. Likely, he is one of the top relievers for 2021 with another team. The Phillies curse.

[kikutaro]

Dominic Smith

Ball (91.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (88.4 mph cutter)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
In play, run(s) (91.4 mph four-seam fastball)

Dominic Smith triples (1) on a fly ball to right fielder Bryce Harper. Michael Conforto scores.

New York Mets 8 - Philadelphia Phillies 6

[zambonir]

The defense is an underrated aspect of this team's problems.

On first glance Cleavenger looks like Curt.

[LoneStarPhan]

This series with the Mets has been an embarrassment for Phillies' phans. Blow leads in games that Wheeler and Nola were in line for wins.

Workman is being pulled and replaced by Cleavinger. First ML action, I believe.

[kikutaro]

Robinson Cano

Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Garrett Cleavinger replaces Brandon Workman.
Swinging strike (75.9 mph knuckle curve)
Swinging strike (94.2 mph cutter)
Foul (95.3 mph cutter)
In play, run(s) (82.5 mph slider)

Robinson Cano homers (8) on a line drive to right center field. Dominic Smith scores.

New York Mets 10 - Philadelphia Phillies 6

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I feel bad for the Phandemics

[LoneStarPhan]

On a positive note, he didn't fall behind in the count.

[zambonir]

Now this is the series where I'm willing to say the season is falling apart. Hardly over, but they had to win - and preferably sweep - this one before possibly splitting with Toronto and the Nats.

[kikutaro]

Pete Alonso

In play, out(s) (93.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Pete Alonso grounds out sharply, third baseman Alec Bohm to first baseman Phil Gosselin.

[kikutaro]

Jeff McNeil

In play, no out (94.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Jeff McNeil singles on a ground ball to left fielder Mickey Moniak.

[LoneStarPhan]

Bullpen ridden hard and put away wet. Double header with the Blue Jays tomorrow.

Can they reach 25 wins for the season? Maybe they beat up on the Nationals again, but no reason to actually expect that.

[kikutaro]

Andres Gimenez

Called strike (76.4 mph curveball)
Ball (94.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (76.1 mph curveball)
Swinging strike (82.1 mph slider)

Andres Gimenez strikes out swinging.
