[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Great job not tempting fate with the thread title. 🩺🤕🩸

[Frayed Knot]

You can't stop Tomas Nido, you can only hope to contain him.

[Edgy MD]

Joliet Jake Hager gets "Can't Turn You Loose" from the Braves organist.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fargas takes advantage of a right fielder wearing clown shoes

It was more of a plea than a prediction.

It won't be repeated.

[kcmets]

Fargasiness!

[Edgy MD]

Johneshwy is 26 1/2 but he looks 19.



But what kind of scoring makes that a double?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lindor looking like he's wearing wrestling boots

[Fman99]

First big league knock for JohnnyIsWhy !

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

C'mon May, get your shit together

[Fman99]

I have nervous here.

[Edgy MD]

No medical updates?

[The Hot Corner]

May certainly wasn't fooling any of the Braves hitters. He escapes with 2 hard hit at 'em balls.

[Frayed Knot]

May took some hard knocks that inning, but survived mostly OK

There was a game at the end of the 2006 regular season in which Nick Johnson of the Nationals broke his femur in a collision while trying to catch a ball in short right field. They turned off the scoreboard animations/between inning music for the rest of the game.

[Edgy MD]

I remember.



Meanwhile, we're four batters away from the pitcher, and only Mazeika on the bench.

[Fman99]

I'm barely alive/awake here. Damn these four hour games.

[Frayed Knot]

Edwin's got a tall task in front of him.

1-2-3 in the order

I saw those first three batters and it really seemed like the Mets were going to be up against it.

Bad bounce took it past Acuna.

Right call IMO

[Edgy MD]

I apologize to Smitty for criticizing him earlier for swinging 3-0.



Acuña swinging 2-0 there was indefensible.

I missed the bad hop.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yay.... mets

[Edgy MD]

God bless the Braves for swinging when Diaz isn't finding the plate.

[kcmets]

Nice, first place secured for another day.

Ump: Where are you going?



Manager: To get my pitcher.



Ump: You can't.



Manager: Waddaya mean, I can't?



Ump: New rules.



Manager: New rules say I can't take out a pitcher I don't want in the game?



Ump: Don't complain to me. I'm not the commissioner. But if I don't enforce the rules, my ass is in the jackpot.



Pitcher: Skip, what's the problem?



Manager: Well, frankly, I'm trying to get you out of the game, but this guy won't let me.



Pitcher: The umpire?



Manager: Yup.



Pitcher: What a fucking asshole.



Ump: YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!



Manager: Have a nice day.

It's not like he was hitting in front of the zMVP as the tying run or anything ... oh wait!

And then the next two go down on first pitches.

[Fman99]

Boooooks!
