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

[Centerfield]

Jorge Lopez. Um. Ok.

[Edgy MD]

Hello, I'm Jorge and I'll be your closer this evening.

[Frayed Knot]

Time to make Matt Olson look like Jimmy Olson.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Strap em on

Well, hey. Not bad at all.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lopez is getting torched

[Edgy MD]

Use Severino as an emergency closer.

[Edgy MD]

Great throw, but enormous jump.

[Cowtipper]

Jorge Lopez is 22-40 with a 5.48 ERA for his career.

[Centerfield]

Lopez looks awful.

[Frayed Knot]

Never in doubt.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Baseball is something else

[Centerfield]

Interesting tactic. Live middle middle and hope for warning track outs.

[Edgy MD]

That's just outlasting the other team.

[Chad ochoseis]

Lopez was awful. But somehow, the Mets win the damn thing.

[Cowtipper]

Before his breakout year with the Orioles in 2022, he was 12-31 with a 6.04 ERA.

[Edgy MD]

Mets in 1974



"Who pitches tomorrow?"



"Koosman."



Mets in 2024



"Who pitches tomorrow?"



"Everybody."

[Frayed Knot]

Atlanta announcers talking about the Braves being destined to win on Hank Aaron night reminds me a bit of Francesa declaring

that there was no way the Yanx would lose to the Sawx on Mickey Mantle's birthday. That was Game 7 ALCS 2004

[Lefty Specialist]

Geez. Nothing comes easy with these guys.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure easy wins over the Braves are going to be in stock in the near future. I'll take a stressful win.



With a fill-in starter signed out of limbo and the back half of the bullpen, coming from behind twice against the class of the division, it really feels like a steal.



Maybe this year the bullpen won't last for the Braves.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, nothing's supposed to come easy.

Especially when facing a top team with a fill-in starter, a depleted bullpen, and falling into an early 0-4 deficit.

Tonight was like Win-Win-Win territory if you ask me.

[Frayed Knot]

Time of Game = 3:27

Not sure if that's the longest 9-inning game this season, but it probably is.

There were Eight 9-inning games last season that ran north of 3:30

In 2017 there were 258 such games representing 11.5% of all games or about 1 game in 9

[Centerfield]

At no point did I think the Mets would survive this game.



Baseball is crazy.



Hey. Let's never pitch Lopez again.

[metirish]

Wow ,nice win to wake up to.i got ny first shingles shot yesterday and was out by 9:15

[Fman99]

Yah I was done when it was still 4-4 there was no chance I was getting through the last half of this one. I'd have died on each of those long fly balls in the bottom of the 9th, too, had I been awake.

[Radar]

Missed this one. Wins a win by the sounds of it. Against Atlanta, I'll take a win anyway it comes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

A 4-6 start is looking a whole lot better than an 0-5 start.
