IGT 08/11/2023 Atl at Mets - Revenge of the Cat

[MFS62]

Charlie Morton 10-10 3.86

Tylor Megill 6-5 5.45



Game time 7:10 PM



The magic continues.

Can Megill at least slow down the Braves?

[MFS62]

It seems like the Mets have faced Charlie Morton more than any other active starting pitcher.

But then I realized Carl Morton pitched against them, too.

[kcmets]

Forgot this was a four-game series with a day/night double-dip mañana.

[Frayed Knot]

FOX has the night game on Saturday and ESPN grabbed the Sunday tilt.

Bet they're happy they got those Pennant chase games locked up early.

[Edgy MD]

Simultaneously rooting for the Yankees to take down the Marlins is gonna be tricky.

[MFS62]

B. Nimmo

F. Lindor

P. Alonso

J. McNeil

F. Alvarez

D. Vogelbach

M. Vientos

R. Ortega

D. Mendick

No transactions before this series. Very interesting.



McNoogies has now started in batting order positions one-through-seven this season.

[metirish]

FYI GKR

[ashie62]

Tylor unscathed in the first



Al Stewart would be proud

[Edgy MD]

Guys, quit busting on Al.



Danny Mendick, gotta learn to bunt.

[Frayed Knot]

Our cleanup-turned-3rd hitter has 5 HRs this season.

The Braves #8 & #9 guys have 13 + 11

[Edgy MD]

Mets need to make Morton pay for walking the ballpark like this.



Chasing this guy early could serve the whole series.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil dancing off second didn't confuse their pitcher, but kinda confused our batter.

[Frayed Knot]

3 innings: 2 Hits + 6 BBs = 0 Runs

No way that's going to haunt us later in the game.

[Edgy MD]

Ortega in left looks like a pitcher who hasn't played outfield since high school.

In tonight's starting ATL lineup only Td'A doesn't have double digit HRs. He has 9 in < 200 ABs

[Edgy MD]

Bad.

He gives you hope, but avoids the hit to put him out of the game.



Later

[Edgy MD]

Another great chance to make him pay here.

[Edgy MD]

Hard to pitch a worse shutout than Morton is throwing.

[kcmets]

Lotta LOB through four... Mets baseball...

[Frayed Knot]

It helps when not a single Met has a well hit ball.

8 LOB, 0/7 w/RISP, and virtually every out has been a lazy ass FO (except for the soul crushing GIDP of course).

[Edgy MD]

Worst swing of the season from Vogelbach?

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo playing like he has something on his mind.

[ashie62]

Yes, he wants to be traded

[Frayed Knot]

100 pitches thru 5 with more balls than strikes = shutout

[ashie62]

Vientos cares

[Frayed Knot]

The pitcher may be new but the lazy ass FOs continue.
