IGT 6/7 Mets @ Braves Feels like a must win

[ashie62]

It's not a must win, but losing this series is not really an option today. I don't want the Mets to become a "You are your record team" 30-31



You are never as good or bad as you look is true. Can we see some of the "as good as you are" part of this.



There are a good number of underperforming Mets players that it's difficult to single anyone out. They do know who they are however



Scherzer has to succeed in the role of a stopper, that's why he is here

Alvarez, batting ninth and catching.

[ashie62]

They are all struggling right now



Maybe they can all get hot together

Nimmo leads off with a walk

[Edgy MD]

That's a Nimmo plate appearance.

Unpopular Pete does get booed here

[ashie62]

HBP in the hand, no.......

[ashie62]

Done for the day



Hit him flush in the wrist



That did not look good

Shocked if it's not broken

Is it a clause in a contract somewhere that all NYM baserunners are required to be followed by an infield grounder?

[Edgy MD]

Mets: "Oh, shit, we may have lost our cleanup hitter."



Álvarez: "Ding-dong."

[ashie62]

Really



Stepping up

[Frayed Knot]

Bad news: only 2 hits

Good news (aside from the whole winning 2-0 thing) 88 pitches thru 4 for Morton, essentially six innings worth.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This inning...

[Frayed Knot]

Geeebus!

FIVE infield hits in <4 innings!!!!!

[metirish]

Pete is day to day with wrist contusion



X-ray negative

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ka-Pham!
