IGT 8/13/19 - NYM @ ATL Bring on the Braves

[Edgy MD]

It's nice to see the seats behind home plate occupied with indifferent viewers when it's not a game at Citi.

Apple is ruining this game

McNeil overcoming Gary Apple's clumsy call with an opposite field RBI single

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Rosey destroyed himself there

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

🍎 is surprised when a swing and miss with 2 strikes turns out to be a strikeout

Y'know, you don't mind when the liners the Braves are hitting find the turf, but I think all three of those dunkers to short LF landed on the same blade of grass.

[Gwreck]

3 pitch innings are good.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Well let's not talk ourselves into thinking that Wheeler isn't embarrassing himself out there

[Gwreck]

I expected better.

[Frayed Knot]

The stadium organist just played the theme from 'Peter and the Wolf' in advance of Alonso's AB

[Edgy MD]

Well, Operation Allow 25 Hits isn't working today. It's really a gift that he's only allowed five runs.

[Centerfield]

This game is miserable. Had a shit day. This is perfect.

You mean a dozen hits in 4-1/3 innings while putting the leadoff hitter (and often hitterS) on base in every frame isn't good?



Two GiDPs and a very generous strike-three call w/bases loaded in the 1st are the only things keeping this from being a lopsided football score right now.

Darling: "They say he's gonna get a playoff start!"



I like how Ronnie accepts as a matter of fact that the Braves won't last more than one rotation turn in the post-season.

[ashie62]

Another crap game against the Braves.

[Gwreck]

I don't think we're going to win this game.

[Frayed Knot]

Always good to go Single - Double - Single in an inning and yet somehow still fail to score.

Fried retired ONE batter in that frame.

[Centerfield]

Why would guillorme not take a strike there. Fucking moron.

Between Acuna (34th HR, 22 y/o in December) and the Nats' Juan Soto (25th HR tonight, won't turn 21 until October) these guys are going to be driving us nuts for years to come.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Need Mikey to come through here, obv

[Edgy MD]

I'll say this for Atlanta: They don't shift much.

[Edgy MD]

When a first baseman has to throw to second for the force, he has to decide whether to throw inside the runner or outside.



Freeman is such a golem that he just throws over the head of the runner.

[Edgy MD]

Man this game would actually be tight if Frazier was a half step faster around the bags. But here's the tying run.

[kcmets]

Eat it, Freeman!

[Gwreck]

If nothing else, nice to see Lagares 4 for 4.

[Edgy MD]

The rest of the team may have come out flat, but Laggy may be having his best game of the year.

C'mon Joe
