Fredi Gonzalez's nightmare: Jose Reyes – SS Justin Turner – 2B Daniel Murphy – 1B David Wright – 3B Angel Pagan – CF Jason Bay – LF Lucas Duda – RF Josh Thole – C Jonathon Niese – LHP

Game tonight is on MLBN for those out of the area - and tomorrow's game is also a national telecast, via TBS. But, regardless of who's showing it, we gotta score some fucking runs tonight. I mean, yeah, Izzy, plus various other portions of the pen, have jumped on the suck train lately, but after a string of games where they plated: 8, 8, 10, and 8, they then shifted to 0, 2, 3, 3, 1 That just ain't gonna get it done no matter who's pitching and how.

And it's actually Tommy Hansen tonight, not Jurrjens. So, 'big deal' you say, we'll still get Jurrjens tomorrow. Not so fast there Peachtree breath. Seems like there's been a Minor change in the Braves' rotation: Jair Jurrjens will have to wait a couple more weeks before attempting to halt the struggles he has experienced since the All-Star break. The Braves have placed him on the 15-day disabled list with a right knee strain. Mike Minor has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start in Jurrjens' place Sunday afternoon against the Mets. Jurrjens entered the All-Star break with a National League-best 1.87 ERA. The 25-year-old right-hander has posted a 6.26 ERA and allowed opponents to hit .281 against him in his four starts since the All-Star break. Jurrjens missed the final two weeks of the 2010 season because of a torn meniscus in his right knee. He underwent arthroscopic surgery in October and had never previously indicated his knee has bothered him this year.

everytime a Brave goes on the DL I get mad. Stupid Mets couldn't have one a couple more games to be able to capitalize on a beaten and battered team? Boo..

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2011 04:15 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Jair House Rock

The more annoying part was Omar Infante going on the DL yesterday right after he got 27 hits against us (or something like that) during the shortened Florida series.

I hope we beat the shit out of Mike Minor for the suggestion that Beltran wasn't worth him.

themetfairy Aug 06 2011 05:45 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Rain Delay. First pitch scheduled for 8:10.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2011 06:31 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Same hard hits as in the start of last night's game. Now we just have to not forget how to do it for the rest of the contest.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2011 06:54 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Like, say, when you get second and third with no out. Right there would be a place where you'd want to get a hard hit or two.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2011 07:07 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

An now, without a ball even slightly hard hit, the Braves have not only tied up the game but are on the verge of blowing it open.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2011 07:15 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

So, yeah... I'm thinking I'd like to maybe revisit that SP-reliability vote, maybe.

Not that it's been a good game for Niese, but he's also had to deal with an error, a bloop, a broken bat bloop, and two infield singles. And I was just about to bitch about how we'd probably go the rest of the game without another hit but Bay shuts me up before I get there.

Ceetar Aug 06 2011 07:38 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Jason Bay is slowly having a not-terrible second half. Wonder if there are/were lingering effects from that concussion. (or the ribcage or whatever it was earlier this season)

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2011 07:41 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Well this is all unexpected!!!

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2011 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

And yet more shitty hits/defense!! (and almost another infield hit)

Pagan's the biggest problem there (although has two hits tonight) - low BA, few walks, little power Reyes is a small sample size and the rest of his year more than cancels that out. Bay is at least improving and has a larger MLB track record of success than Angel. In the meantime, we need to kick the soft part of the Atlanta pen around and build a bigger lead NOW!!!!

Boyoyong

Bay is so bad he wouldn't even hit that......

MLB is going to have the Metsies peeing in cups after tonight's blasts. I'm sure the ball is carrying but they seem to be hitting it on the screws.

Edgy DC Aug 06 2011 08:11 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Bay too. The Mets can use my pee if it helps.

Fman99 Aug 06 2011 08:22 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Must every thread on this site eventually turn to Edgy's pee? CAN'T WE MOVE ON PLEASE?

Edgy DC Aug 06 2011 08:28 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Two infield hits for Uggla is annoying.

PiggiesTomatoes Aug 06 2011 08:31 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Any hit by Larry is equally annoying.

Edgy DC Aug 06 2011 08:36 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

One-run game. With Byrdak spent early. Gonna be a hairy last two innings if the Mets don't tack on.

Fman99 Aug 06 2011 08:38 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Good start to the home 7th with the Pagan leadoff double.

bmfc1 Aug 06 2011 08:42 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Two ABs in a row where Bay was up with a runner on 2d and nobody out and didn't advance the runner.

Fman99 Aug 06 2011 08:46 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Scott Hairston once again drinking Bay's milkshake. Mongo like insurance runs.

Edgy DC Aug 06 2011 08:48 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Viva Mongo.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2011 08:53 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Tacka Tacka. And to be fair... Bay does have ONE big 2-out hit in this game.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 06 2011 09:09 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat Whoever's Pitching for The

Oh, just call it awready.

and the losing streak is over. now to turn the TV off before I'm subjected to Ojeda.

Definite it-takes-a-village victory. One more tomorrow.
