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

[kcmets]

I don't really care, but I'd be shocked if the Braves don't sweep this series,

[Frayed Knot]

5 of the 7 ATL runs have cone with 2 outs

[kcmets]

Digging out the baseball cards, season over....

[ashie62]

Pretty much



In the toaster popping out

[Edgy MD]

The GiDP is definitely a questionable offensive strategy.



I know that batting sluggers second is supposed to be a scientifically proven approach, but it's just been Double Play City for the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Don't let Vogelbach bat against the lefty. He's done bad enough against Morton.

[Edgy MD]

Say Hey McNeil!

[Frayed Knot]

The Vogelbach Line-Out to RF to end the 7th and McNeil's to CF opening the 5th were the only hard hit NYM outs tonight, and only JMcN's made the ATL defense work.



Thru 7 it's those 2 line outs plus 6 Ks, 6 OF FOs, 3 IF POs, and 2 GiDPs

[Edgy MD]

The thing is, they probably should have more walks than they even have.

[Frayed Knot]

0/9 w/RiSP, 13 LOB, and the GO that ended the 8th was our first groundout that Didn't result in a DP

[MFS62]

Losing 7-0 and it doesn't feel like it was that close.

Good job Yacabonis. Now scram.

[Edgy MD]

After stranding those four guys, Álvarez finds his stroke here in the ninth.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow, an actual XBH!! ... followed by another lazy ass FO



Well at least we held the Braves under a run/inning ... probably for the last time this series.

[Edgy MD]

Arauz is the tying run.



And ... we're pinch-hitting for Alonso. Mercy.

[Edgy MD]

Almonte did not look like he has any familiarity with batting righthanded.

[kcmets]

They really just suck...

[Frayed Knot]

Amazing how you can give up 7 runs (6 earned) in 9 innings and yet have the pitching not be the worst part of their showing tonight.

The offensive display was much worse than the pitchers and I'm not even sure that the defense wasn't also worse.

[Fman99]

Seven hits, ten walks, 14 LOBs and no runs. I'm glad I skipped this game.

[MFS62]

Black cat magic wasn't strong enough.



Time for human sacrifice.



"Megill, here's your ticket to Syracuse."
