IGT 10/1/2022: NYM@ATL -- Welcome to Maxtober

[kcmets]

I was in and out of the room not quite settled in yet and FOX was showing

a replay of Max giving the dugout the I'm done sign with the hand across

the throat thing and I nearly dropped my dinner plate.



Don't do that.

[ashie62]

Max looks great

Don't do that.

[Fman99]

I want them to score about 19 more runs. Then I'll feel good.

[Edgy MD]

Just a little harder next time, Zimmo.

[ashie62]

Harris flashes the leather again

[Fman99]

Man, fuck Will Harris, and anyone who enjoys his work

[Willets Point]

New strategy: don't hit it anywhere near Harris.

[ashie62]

Maxofacial Max needs to remove some Atlanta teeth

[Willets Point]

We're going to be shown the replays of Harris' catches for eternity.

Ran hard that time.

[Edgy MD]

I fear Max' flank is tender.



I could be wrong. He just seems to be falling out of his deliveries. Maybe that's just his thing and I've never really considered it.

[Edgy MD]

Back atcha, MHII.

[Fman99]

Nimmo bails out Francisco there

[ashie62]

Mets can flash some leather in CF also

[Frayed Knot]

I was just thinking over the last few days that I couldn't remember the last time I saw Lindor even bobble a ball.

Thankfully we got away without this one hurting.

[ashie62]

Frankenbach

He did kinda looked like a bobblehead though

Does it sound to you like Smoltz is talking in Chinese sometimes? He keeps describing the pitchers' motions and such and I can't visualize what he's saying. It sounds like gibberish to me: "His release point is from behind his left ear, almost as if he's tunneling his way out of a mountain of coffee grounds, but then he pulls his toes out and it really confuses the lefthanded batters..." sort of thing.



Or maybe it's just that I don't speak Smoltz?

Naquin just needs to be about 8% more Danny Heep.

[Willets Point]

Leadoff double. Time to hit the antacid tablets.

[Fman99]

I hate this Fox crew and their eternal 9 inning love letter to the Atlanta Braves. I hope John Smoltz get sprayed by a skunk and then falls into an 1800s Victorian well.

[Edgy MD]

I berate you, infield shift.

[Edgy MD]

Another thing I haven't picked up until now: Scherzer has horizontal clefts across his earlobes.

[Gwreck]

Smoltz: “Wouldn't surprise me if Diaz threw 2 innings tonight”



Gwreck: “It would surprise me if he didn't”

We noticed that too!

[Frayed Knot]

We gotta stop hitting at'em balls.



And, while they're at it, don't be afraid of bunching a few hits together. This one and only one per inning thing doesn't produce many runs.

[Willets Point]

SQUIRREL!!!!

[roger_that]

OF course McNeil gets another hit!!!!



Yeah, almost a third of the time.
