IGT 4/10/15 at Atlanta, Game #4

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Niese opposes Eric who I remember skunking us in what was his/ looks it up..../ 2nd MLB appearance with the Dodgers in '06.

Career he's 3-1, 2.48 in 6 career starts against us.

Guess we'll see Lagares lead off. I think the Mets have a lineup that could murder middling lefties if they want to.

[Edgy MD]

I'm glad they're not benching Duda outright against lefties, but here's hoping Mayberry makes him fight to stay in the lineup against them. I imagine Mayberry starts against three out of four lefties right now, taking two of those games from Duda and one from Granderson. But pretty soon they may be looking for at-bats for Campbell too.

not really sure about Campbell, but I would guess we'll see Aprilberry either today or tomorrow, just in a 'let's get him in there' type way.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, I'm thinking it's a let's-get-him-in-there-to-destroy-somebody kind of way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Neither Wood (going Sunday) or Stults look to have real big platoon splits so I guess it's, whatever.

[Frayed Knot]

You understand that in MASK there was all kinds of makeup and prosthetics, but Eric Stults doesn't look anything like he did back in SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL or MEMPHIS BELLE either.
Nice that he found a second career though.

I drink to Terry and his nutty-assed lineups.

Less obvious than Mayberry batting third, but still notable, is keeping Tejada on the bench for Niese's first start.

[Frayed Knot]

That's Chris Johnson in the Braves lineup, as opposed to Kelly -- which makes sense vs Niese seeing as how Kelly hits LH

[Guest themetfairy]

And we're underway.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Doh.

[Centerfield]

This game is already irritating. Call up Matz and Reynolds.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Not the most promising of beginnings.

[Theoldmole]

Do the people at Lee's Toyota think they're going to sell a lot of cars to Met fans by using a cute girl in a Yankee uniform as their spokesperson?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I feel like Flores is gonna get a hold of one.

Cindy from Lee's Toyota is my favorite of the local car dealership girls. Well next to Hillside Honda girl.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Aw Jeez. Crappy Niese and yippy Flores are a bad combination.

E6 X 2

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Niese looks more like some creaky veteran just hanging on than a midcareer midlevel starter. It's like he aged 8 years. His delivery has really changed.

[Fman99]

KABOOM! Finally!

KABOOM AGAIN! FUCK YEAH

David!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Funk Mayberry killed that ball.

[Gwreck]

Kaboom! X2

[Frayed Knot]

Granderson's walked five times now this season and has scored after three of them.
And four of those walks came on full counts and I know at least two, and maybe three, of them started with him down 0-2

Not that I don't want him to start hitting one of these days, but it's a decent sign and I'll take what we can get here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Muffy looks awful at the dish so far.
