IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

[Frayed Knot]

So what is the over/under on NYM hits for the remainder of the game?

Two? Three? Certainly no more than that.

Hell, I'm setting 'out of the infield' at five.

Their approach is just terrible. Watching fastballs down the pipe. Flailing at secondary pitches. No adjustment. No idea to go opposite field.



Brass is always talking about the process. The process appears to be the problem.

There will probably be a commercial, or worse, a sponsored booth update on those odds.

What's even more annoying is seeing the Braves drive it the other way.

More futility. McNeil needs to sit for a bit.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil — just not showing up.

[Fman99]

I never wanted to anally fuck an emu wearing a yellow shirt as bad as I do today. Is that weird?

[Lefty Specialist]

Conforto was a spray hitter when he first came up. Now he pulls it into the shift most times, and hasn't had a home run in a dog's age.

[Frayed Knot]

15 innings: 3 runs, 4 singles, 1 double, 1 HR, 5 BB



iow, the Braves had more XBHs in their first turn through the lineup tonight off JdG than the Mets have in 1-2/3 games

Its hard not to view certain mound visits as time wasters when the sole purpose of the visit is to waste time.

[Edgy MD]

I think his ERA may survive.



Now let's selectively crush some baseballs.

[bmfc1]

Please let him bat.

Please let him bat.

UPDATE: Dammit.

O.95

Every Mets fan wants to check on deGrom but SNY is talking about the MFYs. Awful.

[Centerfield]

Thank you McKinney. Finally.

[Edgy MD]

That's all I ask, McBilly.

[Edgy MD]

Good hustle by McNeil, anyhow.



He may need to get tossed in order to loosen up. He's screwing himself into the ground.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Braves' organist plays Pink Floyd's Money for Lindor's walk-up.

[bmfc1]

McNeil is too good to stink this much but I can't help but wonder if Villar will see some time at 2B with JD at 3B.

and now Fiddler 's If I Were a Rich Man mid at-bat.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Better than even odds Lindor is clueless about those songs.

[kcmets]

So much for my Confortoboom, guess I gotta pay the quick money ad guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Weak grounder (single)

Weak grounder (force)

Walk

Weak grounder (3U)

Grounder (w/2 RiSP -- inning over)



All of which qualifies as a run scoring threat for this team.



The only consolation is that if any of those grounders had been hit harder the inning would have ended with a GiDP a few batters earlier.

Not even a hard-hit ball by Conforto or Pete. "Mets hitters" is an oxymoron.
