GDT 9/9/18 Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez) @ New York Mets (deGrom)

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Well, that’s a good start. Like EF said, you’d think we could score a few runs against the Mets bullpen. I want to believe they can.

[EastFallowfield]

Mets announcers talking about how the Mets owe the Phils competition for the postseason a good effort as if the Phils don’t lose every series since early August no matter who they’re playing.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Did the bot give up?

[LoneStarPhan]

Even a bot can take only so much.

Phillies went down and now Neris pitching for the Phillies in the bottom of the 7th.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

So unlike the bot; rarely shows his emotions.

[LoneStarPhan]

Neris gets the first two he faces out easily and then issues a two out walk. Then a double drives in a run before Neris gets the next batter to end the inning. Now 6-3 Mets after 7 innings of play.

Once again, a Phillie pitcher gets two outs but struggles to finish off the inning.
