IGT -- Sept. 20, 2016 -- Bouncing back against the Braves

[Zvon]

No idea what this means but someone here probably does. It sounds like a bad thing.

Matt Meyers@mtmeyers
That ball that fell between Bruce and Granderson had an xBA of .000 based on exit velocity and launch angle.

[Centerfield]

Fucking walks.

This team is fucking annoying.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves have yet to hit the ball hard this inning.

[Zvon]

Smoker was squeezed a little but that don't make me feel any better. Walks in a run.

2-1 ▼

[Lefty Specialist]

I guess that Mental Health Day for Jay Bruce didn't help.

[Zvon]

I hope eventually this Bruce situation becomes funny to me because right now I'm taking it waaaaaay to serious.

[Zvon]

Shit. Cardinals already have a 3-1 lead in the 2nd.

[Zvon]

Now I made that but it didn't make me laugh.

[Fman99]

Jay Bruce is a sock into which I discharge my seed of despair.

[Edgy MD]

Teheran sure looked gassed in that last at-bat.

Ha, how do I turn that into a meme?

NO, don't tell me!

It's very possible that we can wake up tomorrow with the Mets in a three-way tie for the wild card, with the Marlins 3 games out and the Pirates 3.5 games out.

Getting more like '73 everyday. Worse, actually. Instead of injured players returning for the stretch run we have them dropping like flies.


3 run bomb by Garcia. Tsk tsk.

[Zvon]

Grandy goes back on balls in center like a sand-crab.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

This is not looking good.

[Centerfield]

Why would you pull Salas there, then leave Blevins in to face the righty?

Fucking Collins.

That's a little rough on that play, no?

[Fman99]

d'Arnaud pops up more than a whack-a-mole.

[Frayed Knot]

This is now 18 runs scored in the last 8 games (or not quite 8 at this point).
And seeing as how 3 of those runs were scored in extra innings, in regulation time it's 15 runs scored over the last 70 innings.

On the flip side, our lazy-ass fly-ball swings are in prime form right now.

If you're asking if I think I'm riding him too hard, no. It was a tough play, no doubt, but he should have zipped right back to the track, not looked up at the ball every step. Grandys a better fielder than that so maybe there are other variables I am not aware of. Is his knee hurting too?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just asking, saw the play once and thought he didn't look sand-crab-esque.
No biggie.

Gary's stalking the CPF again, he just threw this exact fact out there.

Hi booth!

[Fman99]

Big hit for Grandy. Is he allowed to hit with guys on base? I thought there was a bylaw or something.

Tying run to the dish...

[Zvon]

Grandy gets back on my good side real quick.

5-2 ▼

TJ up.

[metirish]

COme on TJ , fly ball, run in

[metirish]

Bruce up, looks like Soup will hit for him

[Fman99]

Wow. Bruce off to the clubhouse, presumably to change tampons due to heavy flow.

[Chad ochoseis]

Out of the frying pan, into the soup. I'd bat Bruce here. Bruce in a slump isn't much worse than Campbell playing like Campbell.

[metirish]

Collins can't be worried abotu any long term impact here Gare

[Zvon]

Wow. That's gotta be the end for Bruce, huh?
