Facing off against that Winans guy



David Peterson meh

[Benjamin Grimm]

Peterson has a 2.41 ERA over his last 33.2 innings, dating back to June 27. He just needs to start going deeper into games. Hopefully he'll be able to go five innings or more tonight.

[ashie62]

Petey has been decent of late



His career has had many stops and starts, both good and not so good that I am worn down



Having said that, knock em down kid!

Ozzie Albies in newly on the IL so I see they called up Vaughn Grissom who played part of last season and hit .400 for a while following his call-up.

They've also been using trade deadline pickup Nicky Lopez who was OPS'ing 600 (both this season and for his career) as a KCR but over 1000 during his short stint w/ATL

[MFS62]

Those young Braves hitters keep coming and coming, like Nick Cannon.

Its the funky Atlanta start time



Nicky Lopez comes to Atlanta and he has a career game against the Mets

[MFS62]

Facing off against that Winans guy

Baseball reference says he was originally signed by the Mets, then acquired by Atlanta in a "conditional deal". I had read elsewhere that it was a Rule V deal. I guess that means the same thing, since Rule V deals are conditional - you can offer them back to the original team if you don't like what you got. But Rule V deals have been around for years. I had never noticed how BR.com words them.

DJ Stewart deserves his own thread

[Cowtipper]

1. Release Daniel Vogelbach

2. Make DJ Stewart the DH

[ashie62]

Mets 3-0



Not a misprint

[MFS62]

WAR is a calculation of Wins Above Replacement, but I'm liking what I see out of the "replacements".

Not to be a Debbie Downer here, but in the early June series in Atlanta the Mets were up by:

* 3 runs in the 6th inning of Game 1 ... and lost

* 3 runs in the 5th inning of G2 ... and lost

* 3 runs in the 3rd inning and later 4 runs in the 6th inning of G3 ... and lost

[ashie62]

Thanks



Peterson is starting to melt

That was the kiss of doom

Let's make that move, Buck.

AAAA Mets outhitting MLB Mets 3-to-2, and out-total-basing them, 9-2.

[Edgy MD]

Winans still has the tassels coming off his glove.

[Edgy MD]

Mets really peppering the 3-4 hole as they tie it up.

[Edgy MD]

The 5-6 hole works also!



The Mets suddenly coming up short in fulfilling their GiDP potential.

We need Vogey here

We got Vogey there!

[Edgy MD]

I think Vogey has by now broken Rusty Staub's team record for singles off the wall.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That was a Big RBI.

[Edgy MD]

D.J. left in against the lefty and squeezing just the way I advocate it.

[Edgy MD]

Getting through the bottom of the inning cleanly with Peterson would be ideal.

[Frayed Knot]

When Vogelbach is on 2nd base is he, like Schroedinger's cat, half in (only in the case of 3Bs or HRs) and half not in (1Bs & 2Bs) scoring position?

It'll either be ideal or an ordeal.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, man, he's getting yanked a run short of being the pitcher of record, after giving up a walk that was a squeezy walk.
