IGT 6/29 How Can We Lose Today? ATL vs NYM 4:10pm

[Edgy MD]

I'm going to retroactively advocate for a visit to the mound after that first home run.



I'm also going to retroactively advocate for violence in the street after that second home run.

Blown save, get out of here

[Frayed Knot]

So the other thing about this barrage is that it'll bring up the meat of the Atlanta lineup once again in the 9th inning.

But instead, Lugo gives up 4 hits (3 for XB) while getting just 5 outs and so Freddie and co will get one more crack at things.

[Frayed Knot]

Our 8th inning not quite as successful as theirs: 1-2-3 against a 25 y/o rookie reliever who was an 18th round draft pick out of mighty Tabor College (Hillsboro, Kansas as if you didn't already know that)

[Edgy MD]

Gosh, pinch runner abound.

[Frayed Knot]

Doesn't SOMETHING good have to happen sooner or later?

[kcmets]

One would think.

While you're out there, deflate Lugos tires

I guess not.

1st & 2nd/none out, and not a ball out of the infield in three tries.



Come to think of it, neither of the first two guys got a ball out of the infield either, but we got a bit lucky with the error and a non-3rd-strike call on JD Davis

[kcmets]

Gary Apple: "Mets a staggeing 0-39 after trailing after 8 innings."



That's a quarter of a season with no comebacks in the tank whatsoever.

[whippoorwill]

No wonder we don't get that loving feeling when they fall behind

That hit (w/2 outs in the 6th) was also the last hit the Mets got in the game.



Braves had 5 hits in the 7th thru 9th including 2 HRs and a double

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Was lucky to have missed most of this, although Boy Named Seo and watched the first few innings at the uni watch gathering. What I mean to say is, today is Mickey s last game win or lose, yes?

[Edgy MD]

I feel like I've been saying that for two weeks.

There's a rail in his future, either being ridden out of town on one or being tied to the third one.

Later
