IGT Mets @ Braves 4/10, 7:20

[Frayed Knot]

Carlos Quintana vs Allan Winans



First start of the season and seventh of his career for the former NYM draft pick Winans (17th round, 2018)

His second and third starts of his career came vs the Mets last August. On Aug 12 he tossed 7 innings of 4-hit shutout ball at CitiField in a game

where the Mets took a narrow 21-3 loss. Nine days later in Georgia he took a blue and orange beating to the tune of 7 ER, 9 hits, 4-1/3 IP in

what became a 10-4 NYM win, one of the five or six games the Mets have won against the Braves during the 21st century.

So now 43% of his ML starts will be against the Mets.









The good news is that it's not currently raining in Atlanta. The bad is that it's expected to start right around game time and not end until

sometime Thursday.

In other words it's gonna be another ...

How did we lose Winans ?

[Edgy MD]

The Braves grabbed him in the minor-league phase of the 2021 Rule V Draft.

[G-Fafif]

Rainy forecast, though sunny days for Tyler Jay (No. 74) should he make his major league debut in relief of Jose Quintana.

[bmfc1]

Banged. Tyler Jay will have at least two days as a major leaguer.

The new date is September 26th so that might be the day that the Mets clinch the division title.

[Centerfield]

Crap. So we miss the shitty fill in starter and get Max Fried. Annoying

Yeah. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the Braves thinking.

The weather tomorrow looks bad, too:

"Thunderstorms in the morning followed by occasional showers in the afternoon. High 71F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Higher wind gusts possible."

[MFS62]

Makeup date September 6.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

12:20 (scheduled) start time on Thursday (as I just find out).

Rain expected to stop around mid-morning but then pick up again in mid-afternoon.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo LF Marte RF Lindor SS Alonso 1B Baty 3B Alvarez C McNeil 2B Stewart DH Bader CF

We're getting closer to the lineup I envision.



I know it's might be a blow to the ego, but I think Marte in the nine-spot would be really effective, and suggest we might go with:

2. Nimmo LF


4. Lindor SS


6. McNeil 2B


8. Alonso 1B


10. Baty 3B


12. Alvarez C


14. Stewart DH


16. Bader CF


18. Marte RF

Of course, Lindor is hitting right now like he's aiming for the ninth-place spot. Or the eleventh or twelfth.
