Lots of seats available on the secondary market. I'm curious to see how many Met fans are in the building tomorrow.

Senga starting for the Mets in Game #1. He hasn't pitched in MLB since July 26th. Hopefully the Phils can jump on him early.

I don’t know if it’s a record, but I believe the Phils have won 8 consecutive Game 1’s. Let’s hope that continues today.

Wheeler was totally dominant in the top of the 1st, to start the Fightins 2024 postseason.

Schwarber leads off the bottom of the 1st with a Schwarbomb!!!

Someone needs to hit the freaking ball, need more runs

Good to see playoff casty is here, chasin everything….

Zack Wheeler doing Zack Wheeler things. The offense needs to post some insurance. Squandering this outing would be a crime.

We've seen this too often this year. Wheeler pitches a gem (even better than could have been expected), and the Fightins have only scored 1 run heading into the bottom of the 7th. The Phils bats have to wake up if this is going to be an enjoyable Red October.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Well ****

 

[CoolBean]

Damn, I have seen this movie before, 1-1 and nobody out. Phillies bats went on vacations for few weeks now.

Hoffman is the reliever to start the top of the 8th. He allows a single, then a walk, and then a double, Game is tied 1-1, and the Mets have 2nd & 3rd with no outs. Topper is out to replace Hoffman. smh

 

[NittPicker]

On the walk, Hoffman had the guy 0-2 then couldn't find the plate for some reason. That stuff drives me nuts.

Edit: Hoffman stat line - 0.0 IP, 3 ER

 

[Relayer]

Hard to win a game when the offense only has two hits. What a wasted effort from Wheeler.

4 sure. All 3 guys that Hoffman faced he got ahead in the count.

To update, Strahm came in, the Fightins bring their infield in, and the Mets hit a single to take the lead, 2-1. The next batter hits a sac fly to deep center, plating the runner. So all 3 batters that Hoffman faced have scored. Currently 3-1, Mets, with a man on 1st and 1 out in the top of the 8th

Edit: The inning ended with the Mets plating 5 runs, to take the lead 5-1.

 

[CoolBean]

3 pitchers trying to get 3 out, SMH

 

[Relayer]

So much for this great Phillies bullpen. Their two best were so bad in high leverage situations this evening.

 

[WestSideLion]

They blew the season tonight. One run on a lead off HR for a gem from Wheeler. Sigh.

 

[NittPicker]

Epic bullpen choke job. I'd like to think the offense would get fired up and do something but I don't see it happening. The team hasn't had any killer instinct for a while now.
