IGT 04/08 - NYM at ATL - Time to Get Real

[Frayed Knot]

Charlie Morton is allowed to throw 105 pitches ... and he's 57 years old!

[Centerfield]

I don't like that Mendoza argues calls like a fucking wuss.

[Centerfield]

And of course that run scores.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I miss the dArnaud who sucked and was unreliable and injured half the time.

[Frayed Knot]

You knew the Braves weren't done scoring for the night.

Just kind of wish the ump didn't decide to help them.

[Centerfield]

Literally hit chalk. I know the guy can't overrule it. But raise hell. Fire up your team and make sure you get the next close one.

[Edgy MD]

Taylor for Wendle is good move.



And yet ... strike three.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon.



Nimmo.



Game.

[Edgy MD]

First base ump Carlos Torres really likes to ring up batters on checked swings.

[Edgy MD]

So, as they go to Sulser for a second inning, I get the idea that that they're staying away from the name-brand relievers. Smith may be the biggest name we see.



Even tied in the seventh, this is still going to be a tough one to steal.

[Edgy MD]

Diekman cares not for teams with .900 OPS's.



Hey, when did this become my thread?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cole got himself out of trubble.



Key for the Mets would be a 5 or 6 run inning here

[Frayed Knot]

First sighting of the 2023 v. of DJS

[Edgy MD]

DJ SPLASHDOWN IS IN THE HOUSE!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Now with the way the Braves score in late innings we only need about 7 or 8 more in order to feel somewhat comfortable.

Thanks for the juice

[Frayed Knot]

Dang! Pete could have broken things wide open right there.

[Edgy MD]

Not swinging at pitches two and half feet outside, he couldn't.

[Edgy MD]

Smith is running on adrenaline. That'll hurt in an inning or so.

[Edgy MD]

Back to the wall for Drewid.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tense moments. This is killing me

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dammit

[Edgy MD]

Man, Smith's cutter has been electric, but he has no idea where he's throwing it.

[Lefty Specialist]

This bullpen is going to kill me.

[bmfc1]

Oh come on. That's the same ump that gifted ATL a run. Pete was punched out for less.

[Frayed Knot]

I may have to recheck the records on this, but I think that's the first time we've ever retired Austin Riley in an RBI spot.

[Edgy MD]

There you go. You've got eight gloves out there.

[Centerfield]

Exactly. Which is why Mendoza needed to fight harder after that play. Point to the chalk. Etc.

[Lefty Specialist]

Jorge Lopez instead of Edwin Diaz. Gee, what could go wrong?

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo now suddenly the team's OPS leader.



Baty second.
