GDT 4/10/17: Mets (deGrom) @ Phillies (Eickhoff)

[BostonRoss]

In the MLB.com commercial, Kendrick just got thrown out at the plate by Cespedes.

I am watching on my iPad without sound as my wife is watching tv. I'm posting on my phone which I can't do fast enough to keep up. In addition, the box score and summary data from MLB is way behind. It just went to the sixth inning. So I really shouldn't try pop.

[DurhamBull]

Chaos on the base paths as the ball gets by d'Arnaud but bounces off the back wall straight to him. Hernandez was scrambling to get back to 2B, d'Arnaud almost throws it away, and then Kendrick gets caught off the bag. Inning over.

[DurhamBull]

My MLB AB now says "authorization failed" every time I try to connect. Sheesh!

[LoneStarPhan]

That was bad.

Phillies missing chances to score again.

I just put it on, Ramos just threw over Cabrera's head and I think there was already a warning so Mackanin is ejected. Rupp had to stop Cabrera from going after Ramos. Now Ramos is probably going to walk him.

Oh, that's a surprise. I don't remember hearing any HBPs or anyone getting buzzed earlier, but I confess I wasn't listening closely.

[LoneStarPhan]

First pitch to the batter was way over him. Not really close to hitting him. Both side issued a warning. Mac really upset and tossed. Ramos then was overthrowing and walked the batter. Cespesdes just Kd swing at a bad pitch

Joely R coming on to pitch with two out.

[DurhamBull]

OK, I'm reconnected via my iPhone. 2 down, 1 on, Ramos being replaced by Rodriguez who is facing Bruce.

[BostonRoss]

The pitch to Cabrera was nowhere near anything except Cabrera's head. It makes no sense to throw at someone in a tie game. So either the pitch just got away, or Ramos did something dumb.

Either way, I w what Pete could have said to get ejected. The benches were warned, but why would Pete object to that at this point?

[Lucky_Beagle]

I think the warning was issued after the pitch. Tv not sure why Pete got tossed over the issue. I am not sure why he was arguing so much. As Kruk said with the warning the PHillies batters are basically protected unless the Mets want a pitcher ejected and possibly suspended.

[LoneStarPhan]

Looked to me as if that pitch got away from Ramos but ??? Crazy.

[DurhamBull]

Mets jump ahead 4-2 on a Bruce HR.

[LoneStarPhan]

Second decker on 1-2 pitch to Bruce.

Some real stupidity by the Phillies this inning.

[DurhamBull]

LA is verklempt.

[DurhamBull]

Franco makes a nice grab on a foul to end the inning.

Going to the bottom of the 8th, 4-2 NY.

[LoneStarPhan]

Kruk says Ramos upset about a bat flip. I guess last year. Looks like his stupidity led to all this and probably a loss. Stupity by Ramos.

After a home run last year

[DurhamBull]

Oh, he flipped his bat at you six months ago? That's a good reason to distract yourself and give up a ball to the opposition in a high leverage situation.

[LoneStarPhan]

They just showed the walk off Cabrera hit off Ramos last September.

I think I would send Ramos to AAA based on this game.
