Got a hit now. The post-game highlight film won't be blank.

OTOH, the Mets are hitless through 4.



As I type that, Vogie gets a scratch single.

[Edgy MD]

Denyi Reyes deserves a minor hand for that effort.



The tough part for him is that he's been pitching with something like this outfield alignment for Syracuse.

[Frayed Knot]

The Braves have now scored 12 runs in 14 innings across two games, the majority of them after two were out.

The Mets have left 19 runners stranded on base in 13 innings ... and of course scored no runs.

[Edgy MD]

Ronnie is gonna eat his whip after this half inning, and despite Gary's concern, I'm thinking that melting won't be a problem.

[Edgy MD]

Baseball can surprise you. The Braves having a season for the ages come in to play a Mets team plugged up with AAA players and ... sometimes baseball doesn't manage to surprise you at all.

[Frayed Knot]

Do you think that maybe walking a 35 HR Righty batter after you had him 0-2 so you could face a 40 (now 41) HR Lefty with an extra runner on base was perhaps not the wisest strategy?





Braves have now scored 15 runs in 15 innings with 'only' 2 HRs. That's usually their total for the top of the 1st





The cumulative score in this series could quite possibly wind up in the 45 or 50 to nothing range.

[ashie62]

Denyi went over 100 pitches with no offensive support



Now, can he start game two?



Well done rookie

[ashie62]

Almonte played for the LG Twins in Korea last year

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, yet ANOTHER pop up with tons of hang time finds some grass.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets need to get Keith a driver.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, more two out runs!!

[ashie62]

In the late 70's we didn't go to games and we liked it

[MFS62]

They're playing fly balls like they'll explode on contact.

(I get the feeling I'm wasting my best material on this game)

This is the kind of game that's usually on National TV.

At least this embarrassment is local.

Our second extra base hit in 16 innings means it's time to play: What Do You Do With Your RISP ABs?



In this inning our contestants are

- Weak Ass IF Pop Out

- Weak Ass IF Grounder

and

- Unassisted Put Out



So the streak of stranding runners with zero success grows to 16 consecutive innings as does the stench of utter fucking futility.



Thanks for playing. We'll be back again with a new round real soon. Maybe against a pitcher just called up from Junior High School just to make it interesting.

I thought the Mets looked "pudgy" before the game and did some math

[ashie62]

Olson has two knocks

[ashie62]

Start swinging guys

[ashie62]

Sean Murphy hit the fucking apple



Mendick to pitch. Second appearance

[MFS62]

And, somewhere, Chipper is laughing.

You don't have to choose between a delay and playing through the rain. Forfeits are a third option.



My wife just checked the score and asked if they are laying down on the field.

[Edgy MD]

Give Vogey a curtain call.

[MFS62]

Dick Stuart was once described as "The best hitter you ever saw in a 12-3 game".

The Mets have a bunch of those guys.

Vogey is one of them.

FUCK! I just finished putting down next month's rent on the 36 inning series shut out with Points Bet

17.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I think we need more humiliation

[Edgy MD]

Well, you wanted to be an owner, Steve Cohen.
