IGT 5/1/17 Mets @ Braves Avulsion

[Frayed Knot]

This pitcher is the Jason Motte who was briefly a closer for the Cardinals with his big bushy beard.
He then ran into all kinds of injury problems and I totally lost track of him. I only recognized him from his motion.

I really hope we don't regret not cashing in some insurance runs there.
Familia is not exactly filling me with CAHNfidence lately.

Damn, Freeman's defense has been all over this game.

Hat tip to him.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He brought me down

They were playing 'Greensleeves' a couple innings ago -- I think it was during a Reyes AB -- but I couldn't figure out any connection.

Is Reyes wearing the Céspedes model canary green compression sleeve tonight?

Nice whiff by Fammy

[Edgy MD]

Ron, concerned the other night that pulling Familia with a save on the line would hurt his CAHNfidence, is now arguing that it was the kick in the pants he needed.

Don't blow it.

He often does.

Never fear. We still have Edgin in the pen.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ron says a lot of things. Also... no Edgin. Burned in the 6th.

Ah yes ... I think of it more as yellow, but that's gotta be the reason.
I'll give them points for effort anyway.

I see what you did there!


Undefeated in the history of Suntrust Park

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice win tonight!

[Edgy MD]

Mets fundefeated in all of Cobb County, and stand victorious in the bitter battle for fourth place.

Also gain a half game on the idle Nats.

That's a real thing? Come on. Professional TV watcher.

Very satisfying.

Watch Michael Conforto be our representative to the all star team.

That's two life goals, right there—professional pitcher and professional TV watcher. All before turning 40.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

[Edgy MD]

Winning three of four, all in division, while beating All-Star pitchers in all three of those wins is pretty sweet.

Sure, that fourth game was something of blimp crash, but you can't have everything.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Be sure to include some juice for Jerry Blevins in your Schaefering today, he was the game's unsung hero, though I'm sure Conforto wore the crown.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was wrong, Belvins did get the crown. Vote Blevins!
