GDT 8/15/25 Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ Washington Nationals (Gore)

[EastFallowfield]

They said before this inning that Duran doesn't like to go 5 or more days without pitching. And last pitched 4 days before this game.

[zambonir]

He needed to pitch. I'm sure he wouldn't have in a five or six run game, but in a four run game coming off a losing streak, completely justified.

[zambonir]

It would not feel any better if he had gotten injured in a 3-2 or 4-2 game.

[VoteForKalas]

Fingers crossed, but how many times has a cart been brought out to the mound? Cannot remember ever seeing that.

[zambonir]

Hopefully it is just a hairline type deal or bone bruise that only keeps him out for a shorter time. They did not acquire him to win the division nearly as much as they did for October.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I am not able to watch either; hopefully he’s OK, but doesn’t sound good. Maybe keeps Lazar on the roster.

[zambonir]

He's a lot lighter than Landon Dickerson too.

Luis García Jr.

Injury Delay.
Pitching Change: David Robertson replaces Jhoan Duran.
Ball (92.2 mph cutter)
Called strike (83.4 mph slider)
In play, no out (85.5 mph knuckle curve)

Luis García Jr. doubles (24) on a line drive to left fielder Brandon Marsh. Paul DeJong to 3rd.

[zambonir]

The glass half full! But the lemonade still tastes bad.

Of course we're also gonna have a hard to watch inning here that will turn the whole city against Robertson again.

[zambonir]

Also that was the bullpen cart not the medical cart because I guess the latter wasn't easily accessible.

[kikutaro]

Daylen Lile

Foul (85.9 mph knuckle curve)
Ball (92.8 mph cutter)

[VoteForKalas]

Oh, ok, that makes more sense..I was thinking medical cart and getting worried..

[VoteForKalas]

Mariners now leading Mets 11-6 in the 8th inning

[EastFallowfield]

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

Mets would be happy if their losing streaks ended after 3 games.

[zambonir]

Well I'm not sure it's any less worrisome that he couldn't walk off under his own power but he wasn't being carted off on a board or anything. Maybe it was a shorter trip to the exam room?

[VoteForKalas]

Good win, still worried about Wheeler who has now struggled in his last 5 starts and now Duran getting hit.

Scbwarber, Harper and Turner lead the way

[zambonir]

Pretty nice one to steal when your ace only goes five innings and can't even get the W. And that 2-2 score and four-run lead still called for the Top 4 relievers 6-9, until things changed.

[EastFallowfield]

Radio guys speculated they wanted Duran to not deal with the steps he'd need to do to get back inside.
