IGT - 4/20/18 - Mets @ Braves

[Frayed Knot]

Wilmer is a thrown-out-at-3rd away from being thrown out for the cycle tonight.
- he grounded out in his first AB (out at 1st), was tossed trying to stretch into a double in the 4th (2nd), and later tagged out trying to score on Bruce's bloop (home plate)

[Centerfield]

I mean seriously Lugo. Every fucking time.

Meant to post this for the stretch but got distracted, maybe it will bring
some late-game tie-breaking luck...

It keeps happening. There has to be a word for it.

[Fman99]

Wow, the pitchout at the perfect time. Manager win!

[Frayed Knot]

If I have my facts straight, two of the three CS for the Mets this entire season have come in the last four batters.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A rare pitchout helped to make that possible. Still, a good throw by Nido.

Yup. Wilmer getting thrown out at 2nd when the ball caromed directly to Markakis in RF and then Markakis NOT being thrown out two innings later despite the shown beating him.

The 3rd one must have been a pickoff then, because the two by Nido were the first two times in 2018 that a Mets catcher gunned down a runner, as per Gary & Ron.

I saw stat a few days ago about opponents being 21 of 22 (or something similar) vs the Mets so I was going off of that, but I don't remember the circumstances of that one so, yeah, it was probably something other than catcher-to-second.

[Frayed Knot]

Fuck Suzuki!!!

Oh wait, wrong one ... nevermind

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Blevins picked off a runner to end an inning earlier this year.

[Fman99]

Nasty stuff tonight from A.J. On to bonus frames...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cespedes strikes out for the 4th time tonight and the 34th time this season. He has now struck out 34 times in 76 at bats. He is now lost on the interstate.

[Fman99]

I love when the shift backfires. Freeman would tell you he should come up with that ball. Good start to the inning here.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-run Reyes at second?

[Edgy MD]

The bunt was wide open for Bruce.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of 3 unassisted for Flores tonight.

[Fman99]

Gsellman looks good tonight.

[Edgy MD]

A family with Expos hats caught that foul.

[Edgy MD]

Gsellie is looking gsassed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good job, Gzelly

[Edgy MD]

Gsood gsoing!

[Fman99]

Yes he was lucky to get through that last inning. This would be a good time to put a run up and hand it over to Jeurys.

[Fman99]

Did that just happen?

[Edgy MD]

Conforto is gonna park one here.

[Edgy MD]

Or pop out to short.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whoo

[Fman99]

Cespedes only hits when it absolutely matters!

[Edgy MD]

F you, shift!
