IGT 6/29 - Mets at Braves

[Edgy MD]

Mets head to Cobb County where the Braves try to squeeze some more magic out of wizened righthander Charlie Morton. The Mets deploy second-timer Tylor Megill.



The Mets last trip to Truist Park featured (to the extent that such a thing can be called a feature) the smashing of Kevin Pillar's face. Jacob Webb, who delivered that pitch, is currently with the Braves minor league affiliate in Richmond.

Gwinnet County, GA

Richmond is currently the AA affiliate for the SFG

[Edgy MD]

Dunburgle it. I shoulda remembered that.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We owe Morton such a beating but are probably too inept to deliver one

[Frayed Knot]

We can move a runner to 2nd, we can move 'em to 3rd ... its that final step we're having trouble with.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nice catch Dom 💪

[Frayed Knot]

One ball out of the infield thru 3 (F-8 by JMcC) ... ONE!

And on just one K, so it's rolled-up wet newspaper time again.

[Frayed Knot]

Megill needed five strikes to K Acuna in that AB ... but, alas, he only threw four

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Bullshit calls puts Acuna on for Freddy. Don't like.

[Frayed Knot]

A few more pitches than you'd prefer -- although 7 Ks thru 4 will do that and, let's face it, he's not going 9 no matter what happens -- but, so far thru 2 starts, Megill fills the bill.

[kcmets]

I think McCann is throwing AB's away for the PointsBet guy. Yikes.

[Edgy MD]

I realize it's not yet July, but McCann's got to be the first half leader for most futile swing of the year.



At least, man, I hope so.

[Frayed Knot]

18 innings vs Charlie Morton this season: 5 hits, 24 Ks

[Frayed Knot]

Guys playing sports while wearing jewelry is one of the (many) things in life that confounds me

[Edgy MD]

Look at this guy throw.



Don't kid yourself. Our need is offensive.

[Edgy MD]

Well, there goes that.

[Frayed Knot]

Exactly how his last game fell apart and at the same moment.



The good news is we can make those three runs up.

The bad news is that we'll need 87 innings in which to do it.

[Edgy MD]

Just. Don't. Swing.

[Edgy MD]

And Confetti goes down swinging at shit out of the zone.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I mean, you really got to consider dropping Lindor in the order. He is absolute garbage most nights.



Every Mets hitter that inning got himself into a two-strike count almost immediately.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff single ------->>> no ball leaves the infield x 3

[Benjamin Grimm]

This team can be really hard to watch.

[Edgy MD]

We have a walk in capitivity!

[kcmets]

Men on base with no outs in the 7th! Ya know what that means...
