IGT 7/31/2020: NYM @ ATL — I Know This Much is Truist

[G-Fafif]

The Mets christen newly named Truist Park by hopefully ruining the night of all those stiffs in the seats. Porcello tries to get his act together against this lineup:



Acuña RF

Swanson SS

Freeman 1B

Ozuna LF

Adams DH

d'Arnaud C

Riley 3B

Hechavarría 2B

Inciarte CF



Newcomb P



Couple ex-Mets in there. Maybe don't shake hands.

So the Braves have five two-out hits so far in this game, including four in a row and two for RBIs

Do the Mets even have four two-out hits this year so far? I know they didn't over the previous two games.







oe: the Mets are 13 (10 singles) for 72 w/2 outs so far with a whopping 6 RBIs: .171/.272/.236

Wayne just said on the radio that Franklyn Kilome was warming. Not watching on TV, was he called up and who's down?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Rene Rivera is on the IL, I think Gary said

[LWFS]

This aging veteran lefty guy TURNED on that hanging curveball!



How did we acquire him? Could be quite a bargain find!

[LWFS]

Wait: We're allowed to score runs after we load the bases?

[Frayed Knot]

Contact w/runners in scoring position!!!!! ... and it was a hit to boot!

[LWFS]

By CESPEDES! Who RAN! Two bases!

Oofta, JD

[LWFS]

Now Rosario almost loses one. Is there something with the lights or the wind?

[Edgy MD]

Do these cardboard Braves fans have any cardboard racist rituals?

[LWFS]

Pretty kind of us to offer some runs back to our hosts after they so generously did so for us.

The cardboard comeback isn't a thrill.

[Edgy MD]

Glad to see Canó hitting, but spiking that DP ball sure hurt.

[Frayed Knot]

We are the Mets bullpen: Give us a six-run lead and we'll just barely prevent the tying run from getting to the plate the very next half-inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Now That's the d'Arnaud I remember!

[Edgy MD]

Davis got the same pitch three times in a row. Took two for strikes, and served the third, which had the least plate of the three, one into right for the RBI.



Sweet piece of hitting, but it's certainly helpful when Chacin sticks with the same pitchy.

[LWFS]

Y'know, it would save a lot of time if they just, like, intentionally walked the leadoff guy.

[ashie62]

Can't the Braves just roll over nicely

[Edgy MD]

Shreve is a real upright pitcher for a lanky guy. He'd do well to do a little drop-and-drive.

[Edgy MD]

Is it me or d'Oes d'Arnaud look stockier?

[Frayed Knot]

I think we have an outside shot at winning this game.

[smg58]

I hope Chasen Shreve has a few more innings like that to give us this season.
