IGT Braves @ Mets 5/6/22 - Game 1

[Frayed Knot]

They're underway in the day portion of a split DH



Peterson faces Jake Odorizzi in his first start for Atlanta

[The Hot Corner]

David Peterson has been roughed up a little bit the past few times out. We need the good Peterson today.

[Edgy MD]

First-and-thirding it through the first. Two runs home. Plenty of inning left.

[Edgy MD]

And Jeff McNoggin dee-pees in his pants.

[Lefty Specialist]

I love cheap two-out runs.

[Edgy MD]

Jeff looks at the dryness in his pants and says, "Cheap my butt!"



The Mets are relentlessly hitting the ball to Acuña, and it's showing in his mobility. I'm betting against him playing the field in the nightcap.

[Frayed Knot]

41 pitches thru 3 for Peterson (though he does himself no favor by walking the leadoff man in the 4th.)

But Odorizzi is up over 70 for the same span.

[Edgy MD]

Hewj double play off of Lindor's backhand.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo finding his missing walk tool in what feels like the first time in three or four weeks.

[MFS62]

Not only is McCann on the interstate, but he's heading toward county road (two digit number) territory.



Later

[Edgy MD]

Looks to me like he could well be out but the evidence may be hard to isolate.



Call stands.

[Frayed Knot]

Acuna might have been out but not flipping the call was the right call IMO

[Frayed Knot]

Middle of the order up in bottom 5

Let's see if we can put the Odor in Odorizzi.

[Edgy MD]

The Ron Darling bobblehead looks a little jaundiced.



Perhaps more than a little.

[Frayed Knot]

2 hours, not yet 5 innings in the books

[Edgy MD]

Lugo performs like the dean of the staff that he is.



Would be nice to tack on against Matzek.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that's about as far as you can hit a ball at Citi Field without hitting a homer, but I'll take the two runs.

[Frayed Knot]

Not a HR, but a Yuge hit anyway!!

All from two outs and an 0-2 count on Nimmo

[Frayed Knot]

Lookie here fans, I'm telling you now

They call me Bryce Elder

You likely don't know all my life

Cuz I'm the Twenty-Seventh Man

[Edgy MD]

Looking for two out of Lugo.



And those tack on runs could help the Mets out later by allowing them to save Diaz for the nightcap.

[Edgy MD]

But not if the Braves are going to refuse to cooperate and start scoring.

[ashie62]

Or else Lugo.

[Frayed Knot]

Lugo got jobbed on a strike call to Acuna, but then just got it back on strike 3 to Swanson.

[Edgy MD]

Merci, d'Arnaud.

[seawolf17]

Holy shit McCann got a big hit!

[Frayed Knot]

Canha gets hit by more pitches than anyone I've ever seen who doesn't seem to do anything special to make himself get hit.

He just seems to be a magnet through little or not fault of his own.

[The Hot Corner]

Holy shit McCann got a big hit!

[The Hot Corner]

Nimmo's hustle once again pays off.

[Edgy MD]

Payback from McCann is tasty.



Bunt a squeezy, Marte.
