IGT 6/10/17 (D): NYM@ATL -- SunThrust Park

[G-Fafif]

First of two in a separate-admission tilt at the spiritual heir to Turner Field. Use sun screen if you're going. Gsellman for us, a lefty making his major league debut for them, just hours away from carving his name into Met infamy...am I using that right? Yeah, probably.

Sean Newcomb is the Braves' pitcher. Like Don Newcombe, he's never won a World Series game, either.

Yo will be back on the roster, if not in the afternoon lineup. Stay tuned.

[G-Fafif]

Juan Lagares – CF
Michael Conforto – RF
Yoenis Céspedes – LF
Wilmer Flores – 1B
Asdrúbal Cabrera – SS
T.J. Rivera – 2B
Jose Reyes – 3B
René Rivera – C
Robert Gsellman - RHP

[G-Fafif]

Afternoon Yo-light after all. Says he doesn't know if he can run at 100%. Guess we'll find out. Good luck, sir!

[Guest d'Kong76]

One man's opinion, if Yo's not 100% I'd be fine waiting another week
or two at this point.

[G-Fafif]

The bad guys are...

Inciarte CF
Phillips 2B
Markakis RF
Flowers C
Adams 1B
Santana LF
Ruiz 3B
Swanson SS
Newcomb LHP

You make it sound as if the Mets are making an ill-considered decision with a valuable asset while implying that this is the sort of thing they do on a recurring basis.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe if Gsellman can't pitch deep into this game, the Mets can use Gsellman out of the pen.

[Edgy MD]

So great to see a long fly over the centerfielder's head, and suddenly realize that it's Lagares out there.

[Edgy MD]

Trivia question: Who surrendered the most homers to Aaron?

I'll go with my man, Ray Sadecki.

[Edgy MD]

High efficiency inning by Gsellie.

Nope, Sadecki only gave up four. Number one gave up 17.

[Edgy MD]

Anybody picking up on any good name-that-tune references from the Braves' organist?

[Edgy MD]

Shouldn't Father's Day's attractions include letting fathers run the bases?

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh, Gsellie is getting it done. Get that young man some runs!

[Edgy MD]

Goofy strikeout. I'll take it!

I finally sussed out Metllica's "One" for "One" Lagares.

[Edgy MD]

Second and third and nobody out. BIG OPP!

[Edgy MD]

Long sacrifice fly into the gap, but how is Céspedes still on second?

#gaffe

[Edgy MD]

Well, hello, Tony Phillips.

The old Salas-on-consecutive-days experience.

[ashie62]

Here we go.

[Edgy MD]

It's getting hard to keep Reyes on this roster.

[ashie62]

These frequent pitching changes frustrate me.

Don't the Mets have to make two moves after game one?

[Guest 41Forever]

Starting to think that Cabrera's range has become Jeteresque, and that Reyes might be done.

[ashie62]

I would tend to agree. Quite a few Metsies 30 and over.

That's one, Reedy.

That's one.

One, anyhow.

And that's two.

Let's get you a run or six also.
