GDT 9/22/23 New York Mets (Megill) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Walker, T)

[LoneStarPhan]

Hard to believe, but really not. A win in hand and lost.

IMO, the bullpen is being run into the ground.

Ball (94.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (95.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (86.1 mph knuckle curve)

Mark Vientos strikes out swinging.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

All fastballs to Baty. Kimbrel needs to mix in his knuckle curve, but he seemed reluctant to do so (until the HR)

[LoneStarPhan]

Walker pitched well enough to get a win and was ahead after six innings. Bullpen gives up home runs in the 8th and 9th with Kimbrel getting the blown save.

Really want this game to end in the bottom of the ninth without our bullpen having to pitch any more tonight.

[VoteForKalas]

Vogelbach just missed that one, wow.

[bkox]

Craig Kimbrel has walked a tightrope all month. That's the first earned run he's allowed in September.

[bkeich]

Well, at least it would be Turner running not Schwarber if we go to 10

[LoneStarPhan]

Extra innings. Turner 0 for his last 13. Winning run left on third base.

Dominguez in to pitch the tenth.

[bkox]

6 times in the last 13 games, the Phillies have allowed the game-tying or go-ahead run(s) in the 8th inning or later.
