[HopeSpringsEternal]

Good thing Florimon is back. We’ll need him to pitch the late innings tonight.

[LoneStarPhan]

We need some black bunting that we can drape around the posts in this thread. It feels like we should be in mourning.

We have several extra pitchers who can get some work tonight. Gotta keep them sharp for the Nationals series.

[kikutaro]

Swinging strike (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (86.4 mph changeup)

Called strike (93.0 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Dominic Smith walks.

[ButlerBulldog]

The Phillies can’t afford to give away games like this. Every Eflin start is a disaster. Maybe Kapler should use an opener (similar to what the Rays are doing) from now on on the days Eflin’s scheduled to start.

[LoneStarPhan]

This walk on five pitches should prove that Eflin has no idea what he is doing this game.

Mets have hit for the cycle tonight. Four hits: 1B, 2B, 3B, HR.

[ButlerBulldog]

We have several extra pitchers who can get some work tonight. Gotta keep them sharp for the Nationals series.

They can’t be any worse than Eflin has been in the second half.

[LoneStarPhan]

Mets have left 2 on base so far. Six runs on four hits, 2 for 6 with RISP.

Phillies 6 LOB, 0 for 2 RISP. No runs on 3 hits.

[LoneStarPhan]

….and they come back with the live action with Murphy on the air.

Can it get any worse?

[kikutaro]

Hernández, C

Called strike (95.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (89.1 mph changeup)
Foul (90.4 mph slider)
In play, no out (90.8 mph slider)

Cesar Hernandez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Dominic Smith.

[Patchmk88]

If Eflin pitches one more game this year, the management is inept. I sure hope we didn’t pass on including him in a Machado deal.

[kikutaro]

Herrera, O

Ball (94.8 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (96.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Odubel Herrera lines into an unassisted double play, first baseman Jay Bruce. Cesar Hernandez doubled off 1st.

[ButlerBulldog]

….and they come back with the live action with Murphy on the air.

Can it get any worse?

I’m watching the Mets feed. Keith Hernandez is an idiot, but he’s better than Murphy and Generic Announcer Guy. I don’t mind Kruk.

And of course Cesar gets doubled off first base. Ugh.

[kikutaro]

Crawford, J

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter J. Crawford replaces Zach Eflin.
Foul (97.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (83.4 mph curveball)
In play, out(s) (98.1 mph sinker)

J. P. Crawford flies out to left fielder Dominic Smith.

It looks like Eickhoff is coming in. If he pitches well, he should start in Eflin’s place for the rest of the year.

[kikutaro]

Syndergaard

Pitching Change: Jerad Eickhoff replaces Zach Eflin, batting 9th, replacing J. Crawford.
Called strike (89.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Ball (91.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (76.3 mph curveball)

Noah Syndergaard strikes out swinging.

[ButlerBulldog]

The Mets broadcast team is, more or less, ripping the Phillies for continually sending Eflin out there every five days while in a pennant race.
