7/31 vs Phillies

[TylerD]

The Mets are losing 19-0 in the 5th.

 

Wtf.... remember when they started off good this season ?

[a700hitter]

Interesting too find out the future of the POM.

In light of Sale’s DL, he will probably get another start. He obviously has to stop the free passes and HBPs.

[Jasonbay44]

Helluva throw by Swihart there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Philly is 19th in runs, 26th in average, 18th in OBP. They're a very mediocre offensive team.

 

That's why the score is only 2-0. POM didn't improve, the opposition's offense got worse.

[vegasbob]

Swihart throws way harder than Drew P.

Yeah, I didn't expect them to keep it up, but man they are bad now. They are wasting a great season by Degrom too.

There is no future.

[a700hitter]

Swihart with the impressive throw. The footwork could use some work.

[TylerD]

Philly is 19th in runs, 26th in average, 18th in OBP. They're a very mediocre offensive team.

 

Well I stand corrected. I thought at one point they were 14th in the league just before the All Star break.

[Station 13]

Offense has hit a skid out the break.

[TylerD]

Yeah, I didn't expect them to keep it up, but man they are bad now. They are wasting a great season by Degrom too.

 

The man has been incredible. ERA of 1.85 and loses half his starts. I feel bad for the guy.

[vegasbob]

Is Joe Kelly on the way back ? Not too bad yesterday and today. Has that odd short arm motion but gets its up there quick

[Spudboy]

4 BB and 2 HBP. Goodness.

 

Unfortunately this is what Pom Goodness looks like now.

 

Let's all be thankful that the score is only 2-0.

 

He got through 5 innings.

 

So did we.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Mets are losing 19-0 in the 5th.

 

No run support for the starter. Mets are known for that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unfortunately this is what Pom Goodness looks like now.

He got through 5 innings.

 

So did we.

 

I think most of us. if asked before the game, would have said yes to 2 runs in the 5th with POM starting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

x-man is due.

[Station 13]

x-man is due.

 

Everybody is due.

[Spudboy]

The Mets are losing 19-0 in the 5th.

 

Somebody must have missed two PATs.

 

How the f*** does that happen in the major leagues?

[FredLynn]

Unfortunately this means one more start.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Atom balls that inning. Btw, the Monster is probably robbing JD of more HR's than it is helping him.

Fenway is not a HR park. It holds in a lot of line drive homers as well as deep fly ball to RF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The throw strikes memo appears to have never reached our BP. Effective as the SOX pen has been, they do throw a lot of pitches before they end the inning. A recurring theme.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fenway is not a HR park. It holds in a lot of line drive homers as well as deep fly ball to RF.

 

Good point. JD is a line drive hitter who hits HR's; similar to Pujols.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We're really lucky to still be in this game. Let's take advantage.

[fxkatt]

Does Betts pinch hit in the 8th or 9th?? Or is a day off a day of unperturbed rest?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Phillies are 10 games over .500 in 1st place and 5.5 games ahead of the Nats. The SOX are 42 games over .500 in 1st place and 6 games ahead of the Yankems. Doesn't seem fair does it?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does Betts pinch hit in the 8th or 9th?? Or is a day off a day of unperturbed rest?

 

I doubt we'll see Betts based on Cora's past practices.

[Station 13]

0-10 RISP tonight.

[d-money]

Barnes better not f*** this up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

C'mon Barnes. Don't make DD have second thoughts about not getting a reliever.
