IGT 08/16 - Mets at Braves - Back in the Saddle

[kcmets]

I disappear and then come back and Taijuan is gone? What happened?

[Lefty Specialist]

Some kind of injury, but we don't have info.





I wanted to see Alvarez, but not THIS Alvarez.

[DocTee]

This is what happens when you start a magic number countdown in the second week of August. #baseballgods #karma

[seawolf17]

I'm a little concerned about how this Alvarez fella has no idea where the baseball is going.

[seawolf17]

Jeff McNeil trying to get all the Schaefer points again tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

This is Roy Emilio Alvarez of West Palm Beach Florida for those of you scoring at home (or even if you're alone).

[Fman99]

McNeil flashing the leather there twice

Um, Perez is pretty good defensively. And some Flying Squirrel!

Some impressively hairy arms.

CAN WE SWING THE GODDAMN BATS FOR FUCKS SAKE

[bmfc1]

I know that this is a minority opinion and I've said it before but the Braves organist is a look-at-me piece of trash.

[Fman99]

Gelbs with the insight on some shitfuck who plays for the other team. Replace him with one of those hot gurls, please

[seawolf17]

Look, even if we get shellacked again today - we're still up 3.5 games with Max and Jake in the next two. So this isn't the end of the world.

[seawolf17]

RJ Alvarez gets shuttled up and down all season, finally gets into a game, and is going to pitch five innings, throw 120 pitches, give up fifteen runs, and get released.



Thanks for the memories, RJ.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, dear, R.J. is getting pin-cushioned.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ohhhhh my that was a prodigious clout.

[Fman99]

Hoping RudyStein J. Alvarez can maybe get through the 5th and keep it within 4-5 runs. Dreaming optimistically

I'm in favor of anything that reduces the odds of hearing: EVERYBODY CLAP YO HANDS

[Edgy MD]

Nobody even going to the mound to settle him down.

[Fman99]

He's fine. Got out of the latest jam, anyhaps.

[kcmets]

3-sniffle after 4, thread feels like we're down by 10.

[Fman99]

Back spasms is the word on TJ Walker. I think that's a good diagnosis, he could make his next start I reckon if things calm themselves between now and Sunday.

[Edgy MD]

"Rock 'n' Roll All Night" played between the fourth and the fifth innings, and I'm thinking, "Hey, Cobb County, get your own crappy band! KISS is OUR crappy band!"

[kcmets]

3 K's for the lost-looking-at-the-plate Mets!

[Edgy MD]

The Mets defensive strategy is to put Acuña on base and throw him out.

[Edgy MD]

"Nogo, we need some length here. Try to conserve your bullets."



"I'll see what I can do."



/two-pitches_two-outs

[Lefty Specialist]

Nogosek settles things down pretty quickly. But the Mets offense seems lost on I-285 somewhere.

[Edgy MD]

I'm calling for the Mets to bunt for hits, if only to remember what contact is like.
