GDT 8/16/18 New York Mets (Oswalt) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Suarez, R)

[Varjak]

Also, Quinn's a better pitcher than Reyes. Not that that's saying much.

[zambonir]

It's just one game, we've seen them bounce back (the loss to Washington, several bad 9th innings) before. Taking three of five was obviously the minimum goal this weekend but if they go 2-3 instead of 3-2 it's not the end of their playoff chances, the division included.

A 6th starter on the waiver wire suddenly looks like a good idea though. This might not be the last time they need someone. Or we may yet see Eickhoff. Leiter's 40 space probably isn't even safe if both the guys on the 60 come back.

Hard to believe we're missing Valentin as a pitcher (I just hate to see someone as good as Quinn doing it).

Thank goodness it's only on Facebook.

And GAG isn’t calling it. I really wish Harry were still with us. Despite this team’s mental mistakes, he’d probably enjoy watching it grow up.

[LoneStarPhan]

I am afraid Quinn is feeling the abuse on his arm by now. I hope they don't end up having him hurt because of this mess.

[Varjak]

Time to get Quinn out of there. I hope we all remember what Chase Utley once said on the mound under similar circumstances.

[Philsmania]

Why don't they just forfeit the rest of the game? Pay the fine and be done with it.

[LoneStarPhan]

Kingery in to pitch next.

Time to get Quinn out of there. I hope we all remember what Chase Utley once said on the mound under similar circumstances.

I just hope he doesn’t hurt himself. I know Kapler doesn’t want to use up the bullpen, but that doesn’t justify using valuable bench players as cannon fodder. Leiter could have done this just as easily without risking injury.

[Varjak]

He can't use the bullpen today because he used it all yesterday. But hey, all the Phillies need to do is get everyone in their lineup on base this inning, twice each, and they're right back in it.

*cough *

[LoneStarPhan]

Yes, letting Leiter pitch more might have been the right way to go.

[zambonir]

if they had a five-man bench it would be less taxing on the bullpen

[Patchmk88]

This is the most embarrassing game I have ever watched as a fan. They will have 30 runs by the end of the game. We may have a negative run differential by the end of it.

Maikel Franco strikes out swinging.

[Varjak]

I agree Leiter could have soaked more of this up. He threw 37 pitches in one inning. Quinn threw 42 pitches in 1.2 innings. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel an outfielder shouldn't throw more pitches than your spot starter.
