[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nice play by Hand on the bunt.

[Frayed Knot]

There are three 2015 1st round picks on the field tonight.



#18 - Phil Bickford (SFG)

#25 - D.J. Stewart (BAL)

#41 - Austin Riley (ATL)





Also on the rosters now or recently:

#23 - 2022 NYM Nick Plummer (StL)

#28 - Injured/minors ATL Mike Soroka





Plummer, btw, seems to be out of O.B. as there's no 2023 line for him on BB-Ref

Lindor!

[Edgy MD]

Oh, fuch, yeah!

[Edgy MD]

Buck sticking with his lefties against Handjive works out.

[Edgy MD]

It's 10-4 in the top of the seventh. What's your confidence level?

[Fman99]

I'm enjoying the piss out of this game let me tell you

I'd say we have a chance

At least 17%

[Edgy MD]

I feel ya.



But losing a lead and coming back and getting another is a good indicator. Also, that diving catch by Nimmo in the bottom of the first — which would have been an inside-the-parker had it gotten by him.



Both of those factors have an element of touché that we haven't seen much from the Mets at all this season.



Six outs to get, though, and six outs is six outs.

[Frayed Knot]

Well at least Ottavino starts the inning with a free pass, so That bolsters my Kahnfidence not at all.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves 25-7 vs NL East this season coming into tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Biggest hit of the game: Lindor's 3R HR

Best AB of the game: Vogelbach's 2 RBI 2B (was down 0-2 in the count)

[Edgy MD]

Three outs to get. Feels like 30, but I'm down.

I'm up to 30% now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vogeys hit was a 1-run single. It only looked like a 2-run double

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Nice win!

[Edgy MD]

Phil Bickford's first Mets win.



Rafael Ortega's first Mets homer.

It was seemingly a two-run double off the bat, but two separate runners were frozen to their bases for fear of Acuña's arm.

[Edgy MD]

San Diego currently up on Miami, which'll make it difficult for the Mets to pass 'em tonight, but gaining a game on Miami is also welcome.



Mets also gain a game on the Giants, who lost 10-4 (there's that score again) to the Phils. Reds are postponed, so it's a half a game gained on them.



Diamondbacks and Rangers are scoreless in the bottom of the fourth.



And yeah, they gain on the Braves, which also satisfies a hungry stomach.

I can't recall the last time this happened during a Mets game.

It feels good going into the second game of a series with one win under your belt, since Megill is scheduled to start the second game. He doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
