IGT 8/12 Braves @ Mets 1st Game Denyi Reyes Allan Winans

[ashie62]

Reyes had been taken off the 40 man in July



Can't say I know much about him but the ERA says 6.50



Allan Winans goes for Atlanta An 18th round draft pick in 2018

[Edgy MD]

Reyes was perhaps the hottest pitcher with Syracuse, coming off a seven-inning/one-run performance against Worcester. He pitches to contact — low hit numbers, but low strikeout numbers. He goes deep into games because of this, but tends to give up that one three-run homer that undermines his effort, so it's better to get him out one batter early than one batter late, but in a double-header, that may not be workable.

[ashie62]

It would be a nice shot in the arm and give me some Kahnfidence with a Denyi Reyes quality start here



Stranger things have happened

Given the flu epidemic that has felled so many of the 4077's surgeons, Father Mulcahy and Radar will be assisting in the OR today.

Gotta be Yakko

[G-Fafif]

It is indeed Jimmy the Yak who takes the pipe.

DiComo reports Tim Locastro is on the premises, rarin' to be activated tonight or tomorrow.

Anyone but Stewart could have caught that

[Edgy MD]

That was catchable, D.J. Stewart.

Judging from the last few days, I wouldn't have had a whole lot of confidence in Abrhaham Almonte or Rafael Ortega either.

[MFS62]

Pete with an IBB.

Not many of those going around.

[ashie62]

This is going to be a long game

[ashie62]

The Mets may have the heaviest lineup

[Edgy MD]

If Vogie danced away from that pitch that hit him, maybe that ball rattles around and the Mets score a goofy run.



Instead we make an early move toward matching yesterday's LoB numbers.

[MFS62]

Nicky effing Lopez?

Who?

Will he be another John Paciorek?

Keith, George Foster did most of the batting behind you before Carter showed up.

[Frayed Knot]

The only reason the Mets left three on in the 1st is that it's not possible to leave four on.

[Frayed Knot]

Ooooh look, more pop-ups, Ks, and balls not leaving the infield. But at least the defense is making up for it by allowing catchable balls to fall in for hits on a regular basis.

[Edgy MD]

The story of this game is the Braves running on Almonte's wing.

[roger_that]

Give the outfielders' arms a little credit there. If it's possible to take an extra base off an outfielder, a Brave will do it easily.

The other story besides exploiting Almonte's arm is exploiting Stewart's range.

[Frayed Knot]

This could be the single worst OF in the history of MLB



The Braves have 5 runs in 4 innings and have hit virtually nothing hard ... which is more or less what they did last night too.

[Frayed Knot]

Why do people play sports with jewelry on?

I can't for the life of me understand that.

OTOH, the Mets are hitless through 4.



As I type that, Vogie gets a scratch single.

Preventing against doubles lets a lot of singles drop in. But this outfield doesn't discriminate. They let everything drop in. But, to paraphrase Dick Young, "While on one hand they can't field, on the other hand, they can't hit either".
