IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

[Edgy MD]

Uno mas.

[seawolf17]

FUCK YEAH.

Books!!

[Edgy MD]

Waddagame.

[Fman99]

Holy shit, this game was great

[metsmarathon]

Damn yo, these Mets is a good team.



But still. Mets fans gotta be smarter than to poke karma in the eye by trying to start up a tomahawk cop. Have we learned nothing from our collective history?!

[seawolf17]

What a weekend.



But yeah, fuck off with the chop. That's bullshit even in jest.

The first two sliders Jake threw today were clocked at just under 96 MPH - the hardest thrown sliders ever clocked by Statcast.

[Frayed Knot]

So with Jake being pulled when he was, who thought to themselves: 'Let's go with Joely for the next seven outs'?



Sometimes I think Buck can intentionally make the elevator go up even by pushing the down button.

[Lefty Specialist]

18 straight swings and misses on the slider.....that's otherworldly. I was happy with 2 of 3 in Atlanta, but this is a whole nother level.



Jake and Max well-rested for October makes one drool with anticipation.

[Willets Point]

To quote Joe Piscopo: "Exciting! Thrilling! Awesome!"

I kept screaming for Buck to take him out before he blew up. He never did. Like they say, in Buck we trust..

Between the 4-1 series result on top of the Yanx getting swept by StL, this was like a long weekend version of Super-Triple-Happiness.



Mets & Yanx now have identical records (70 - 39)

When July started the Yanx were 8.5 games ahead.

And don't look now, but the Braves are only 3 ahead of the Phillies in the Wild Card race, 2 in the loss column.

All of this.

1. Winning the division, and

2. Having the 1st or 2d best record of the 3 division winners (the Mets are currently 9 1/2 up on STL)

means

3. Getting a first-round bye (6 or 7 days off).

Who knew three innings ago that this would be the Joely Rodriguez Game?

Spencer Strider took his loss like a professional even though he is a rookie, saluted the Mets, said that he is sorry he let his teammates down, and he hopes to pitch better the next time he faces the Mets.

JUST KIDDING!

Yeah. We'll see. Jake deGrom retires the first 17 batters he faces, 12 on strikeouts. He also threw the fastest slider ever recorded. Twice. I guess all of that was also fluky.

[Frayed Knot]

There was a maybe four or five second shot of Strider cursing up a storm into his glove (at least I assume that's what he was doing) after one of those hits.

That was maybe the best shot in the entire game.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Tied for the second-best record inn baseball!

[nymr83]

Hey Strider: SHUT-UP ROOK!

[Fman99]

Strider can eat a bag of hot wet farts.

If somebody asks about the fans doing a tomahawk chop, just tell them is was actually a referee counting over a knocked down fighter.



Later

^ Even Felix thinks that's funny!

It would have been great if there was a hot mic near Strider when he let loose a string of ranting following Pete's off-the-base double.

Not that they could have put it on the air. Let's just say he wasn't pleased at the result.

This series had a 1969 Cubs series feel to it. I watched the Cubs series with my dad and realize how much I still miss him.
