IGT 9/21/22 NYM@MIL Under the Milwaukee Sunshine

[Chad ochoseis]

Taijuan Walker meets Adrian Houser, who I googled and verified is a pitcher, in a day game. 2:10 start.

[Fman99]

I dig a 2:10 Wednesday start as I work from home Wednesdays and normally take a 1-2 PM lunch break siesta. So I shall wake up and work and watch baseball. Also that way I do not have a conflict with watching AEW Dynamite pro wrestling with Fboy on Wednesday nights as it's on live from 8-10 PM.

My first exact thought when scanning today's lineup card. And yesterday's and so on

[Edgy MD]

Hey, they've won six in a row with this lineup. It takes 25 guys. Or 26. Or 28. Or whatever.

[kcmets]

National at Braves is underway.



Here's surprise for ya'll -- Atlanta up 1-sniffle after one.

[Centerfield]

2-0 Braves now.



It seems pretty clear that no one is going to beat the Braves unless we do it ourselves.



Anyway, win today first.

[Benjamin Grimm]

We couldn't expect much from the Nationals, but the Phillies really could have done better.

It's not a bad lineup considering we're giving Canha a rest. Still the deepest Metly bench I think we've seen in a couple of decades.

[Frayed Knot]

2 - 1 Braves, end of five

[Edgy MD]

Marte tested his finger on September 19, and reportedly, it was still hurting enough to compromise his effectiveness. He expresses opty-mism that he'll be ready for the Braves series.



In the old days, up until this year, they could just let him float as an active member of the roster, occasionally getting pinch-running or defensive opportunities.

[Willets Point]

Fuck.

[Frayed Knot]

And yet even more urgency added to Marte's return.







Still 2 - 1 in Atlanta, leadoff batter on for Nats in the 7th

[cal sharpie]

Been busy til now. What happened?

[Frayed Knot]

Nimmo grabbed his leg coming in for a fly ball.

Didn't look real bad but yaneverknow.

Interesting outfield alignment with Canha in center and Naquin in right.

[Gwreck]

Meneses: 2 run homer for Washington. 3-2, top 7

[Frayed Knot]

Braves end the 7th w/a K/CS DP

so they're going to the 8th 3 - 2 Nats

On the 12th pitch of the at-bat, no less.

[Willets Point]

Hey, a bigger base would help the defense on that play.

[Frayed Knot]

Nats out quickly in top 8

[Fman99]

Thinking healing thoughts to Brandon Nimmo, hopefully he's just tight

[Willets Point]

I feel like we should wrap the Mets starters in bubble wrap and store them away until the playoffs begin.

[Edgy MD]

It's the super-draining fields that cause outfielders to get their knees jammed into divots. Somebody's gonna tear up a leg on one of those plays.

[Frayed Knot]

Nimmo: "Left quad tightness"

Edited September 21, 2022 by Guest

[Edgy MD]

Nats done take the lead. PASS IT ON!



And they lock the eight down with William Contreras getting thrown out at third!

[Frayed Knot]

Braves strand runners on 1st & 3rd in the 8th

Still 3 - 2 Nats

Let me guess... Day to day to day to day to day...



I hope he doesn't have to miss the playoffs.
