IGT 6/29 - Mets at Braves

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

McCann goes off script

[bmfc1]

That never crossed my mind. Fantastic!

[Benjamin Grimm]

This team can be really fun to watch.

GiDP then pop-out, or Pop-out then GiDP?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now I'm in the mood for a wet teddy bear.

[Edgy MD]

I kind of think I would have asked McCannski to bunt there .... and just as I'm thinking that, HO-LY CRAP!



The last time I saw a guy looking THAT bad with his swings, then turn around and hit a homer, the guy was Kirk Gibson.

[Fman99]

Totally spoiled for me by seawolf & ceetar during the recording of episode 14 of our podcast. My YouTubeTV stream is perpetually a good ten seconds behind the rest of the world.

[Fman99]

Rotten swing by McNeil there who looks utterly lost at the dish.

[Fman99]

Yeah Lindor! LGM

[kcmets]

Time to happily stretch!

[Edgy MD]

Unlikeliest part of this rally:

• Smith hitting a two-strike curve to start things going?


• Pillar somehow surviving having seemingly struck out two different ways on one pitch to instead work a walk?


• Morton hanging a meatball over the inside half of the plate to McCann when he's had him chasing breaking pitches into the on-deck circle?

[kcmets]

Bro, it's 4-3. You're gonna jinx it with over-thinking and buttons!

[Edgy MD]

Man. Now I've got to go in and tell my wife that the ump is close to tossing me because of egregious over-deployment of buttons.

[kcmets]

She'll side with me.

[Edgy MD]

She usually does.

[Frayed Knot]

I'll say here what a skinny girl sometimes says: 'Boy a little padding here would be nice'

[Edgy MD]

If this suppression of power stays the norm, Guillorme has a skill set that can really play at the big league level.



I'm not sure he has the fire, but he's got a lot of Backmanian skills.

[Centerfield]

BIFL.



Especially against a guy who can't throw strikes and Peraza Almora due up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Matzek is Czech for Matz

[Edgy MD]

Alonso AND Almora getting "Call Me Al" from the Braves organist.



Getting kind of lazy up there, Braves organist.

[Centerfield]

Holy fuck Almora. Maybe take a pitch or two there.

Who doesn't love that chubby little bear. 💕 🐻

[Edgy MD]

I appreciate that Almora can stay in and improve our ninth-inning defense, but I'm afraid that last swing just sealed his fate, and he's gonna be riding the DFA bus in a day or two if and when Nimmo returns.

[Edgy MD]

MAN I was certain that was fair.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Diaz does not seem as sharp tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Onesie.

[Edgy MD]

Twosie.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Put that one in the books!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yayyy
