IGT 9/16 Tied with Braves Mets vs Nationals 7:10 Manaea MLBN

[Cowtipper]

Time for another closed door meeting.

[Cowtipper]

How about they try to not hit to that side of the field.

[Cowtipper]

The bettors must have them at finishing no better than .500, so they're pulling out all the stops.

[Centerfield]

This offense is pathetic. Day after day.

[Frayed Knot]

Six innings, two hits, one of them legitimate.



JD Martinez: 0 for his last 19

Vientos: 3 for 30-something

Alvarez = cold, Nimmo = cold, etc.

[Gwreck]

Early hook for Manaea who'd just retired last 7 and 10 of 11.

[Centerfield]

Why did we pull Manaea?



Especially with no off days and Megill tomorrow.

[Cowtipper]

Why did we pull Manaea? Especially with no off days and Megill tomorrow.

Gotta make sure they lose. Tony "The Pug" Spanoli has big money on this game.

[Cowtipper]

Taylor's going to wake up wearing concrete shoes!

[Cowtipper]

Now it's getting fun!

[Cowtipper]

The option of instant replay is making umps sloppy.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Beat it, Irvin

[Gwreck]

This replay system is total nonsense. We are owed an explanation. How is that indisputable evidence to overturn? Explain yourself.

[Cowtipper]

Game is tied! The magic is ba—



Well let's not get ahead of ourselves yet.

[Frayed Knot]

Give us enough IF grounders to no man's land and one is bound to go our way eventually.

[Frayed Knot]

A couple of borderline calls went Winker's way in that AB

[Cowtipper]

I seem to recall the Mets getting to Law before, earlier in the season.

[Cowtipper]

Martinez sucks.

[Cowtipper]

Loser Diaz is in. Come on now.

[Frayed Knot]

Alvarez better be prepared to block anything wide or in the dirt by any method necessary.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ok. Let's walk it off

[Cowtipper]

I'm palpitating.

[Edgy MD]

Gulp.



Here we go. Alonso, Nimmo, Vientos.



All, I imagine, will be swinging for the fences, but we'll see.

[Cowtipper]

Braves losing 3-0.



Diamondbacks winning 2-0.

[Frayed Knot]

We've had a buncha warning track fly outs lately.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe the Nats are playing for one run because they figure that the Mets have already scored their run for the day.

[Cowtipper]

Garrett: 0.00 ERA, .138 OBA in his last 10 appearances.



This is Garrett's 50th appearance.



Braves losing 9-0.

[Cowtipper]

Acuna's made me forget Ronny Mauricio already.

[Frayed Knot]

I wish I had a bit more Kahnfidance in a walk-off win here than I actually do.
