Game 2 IGT, Braves @ Mets, 8/12/23

[Frayed Knot]

So that first one was sure fun, let's do it all over again in, say, about two hours.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

LoCastro activated

RHP Tyson Miller recalled from Syracuse

Reyes sent down

Almonte DFAed

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nimmo LF

Lindor ss

Alonso 1b

McNeil rf

Alvarez c

Vogelbach dh

Vientos 3b

Mendick 2b

Locastro cf

[MFS62]

I just checked the minor league scores.

Binghamton and Brooklyn are being no-hit and St Lucie has two hits.

And the DSL MFYS just beat the Mets Orange DSL team 20-8.



Not a lot of good organization news out there.

At least a resemblance to a major league lineup.

[ashie62]

One of our better pitchers is on the mound with a decent lineup on tap



LGM

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff batter on, no subsequent ball leaves the infield, oh-fer-two w/RiSP ... the planet remains in line.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff hitter on, take two: K, K, K

Now 0/3 w/RiSP

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have the leadoff hitter on on 12 of the 20 innings so far in this series.

Not a single one of them has scored.





oe: Now 13 of 21

But several have reached third base. Doesn't that count for something?

Hulu Live TV app is a huge pile of gorilla shit. I missed the first hour, eating dinner. I just want to put it on where it is now. But no, they have to stuff ads down my gullet first, and then each time it resets to the start of the game.



Putting something on to watch should NOT be this difficult.



Watching now on my antenna, choppy as always. SO GROUCHY

[Frayed Knot]

Kevin Pillar can drive in two out runs.

Lindor ... not so much.





Now 2-fer-38 in this series w/RiSP

Nice catch by LoCastro in CF there

[Frayed Knot]

Uh Oh, keadoff runner on, aka: we're fucked

Actually got two balls out of the infield in that inning.

Sure, they were both lazy ass fly balls that the RF's Aunt Tilly could have caught, but it's better than lazy ass infield pop ups.

[Frayed Knot]

GiDP ball = run scores from 1st

[Fman99]

Drew Smith sucks

[Frayed Knot]

FOX is capitalizing the D in d'Arnaud's name in their graphics.

[Frayed Knot]

This game could still end 21-3 like Game one ... except that we probably can't get to 3

[Frayed Knot]

Orlando Arcia career OPS+ = 81

This season = 117

Dansby Swanson (aka: the guy he replaced) = 106

[Frayed Knot]

'nother lead off batter on

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo ain't running like Zimmo

[Frayed Knot]

We don't do two out RBI hits.

We give them up ... we just don't get them.

[nymr83]

The Braves put on a clinic of how to beat the shit out of a bad team enroute to resting your players the last week of the season 10 games up in the division.

[Frayed Knot]

36 - 3

[MFS62]

I can't see any decent free agent starting pitcher looking at that run support and terrible defense and wanting to sign with the Mets.

This will present a challenge to the front office.
