apparently tv doesn't care that the Mets are horrible...Yesterday: Fox game of the week; Tonight: ESPN; Tomorrow: MLB Network; Tuesday: ESPN...

Swan Swan H May 26 2013 03:55 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Our third baseman is better than theirs, and our second baseman strikes out a lot less. Oh, and our backup catcher is dreamy. Their three catchers look look the guys on Duck Dynasty shaved. Mets Daniel Murphy, 2b Rick Ankiel, cf David Wright, 3b Lucas Duda, lf John Buck, c Marlon Byrd, rf Ike Davis, 1b Ruben Tejada, ss Shaun Marcum, rhp Braves Andrelton Simmons, ss Jason Heyward, rf Justin Upton, lf Freddie Freeman, 1b Dan Uggla, 2b Juan Francisco, 3b B.J. Upton, cf Gerald Laird, c Julio Teheran, rhp

Luvly 4-3-6 with Simmons running on a 3-2 pitch. No issue with Murphy's timing here - he quick-released a backhand flip that Robbie Alomar would have been happy with. Nice stretch by Ike on the back end as well.

Zvon May 26 2013 06:24 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Ha! Uggla sucks.

Swan Swan H May 26 2013 06:24 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Oh, and our second baseman - at least our current second baseman - can catch a routine pop-up.

Zvon May 26 2013 06:27 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Thats bullshit. He dropped the ball before Duds bat hit his glove.

Swan Swan H May 26 2013 06:29 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Not only do Mets batters fail with runners in scoring position, they prevent runners from advancing into scoring position in a multitude of ways.

Zvon May 26 2013 06:32 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Ha! The ump sucks.

Ashie62 May 26 2013 06:35 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

The Duda & Davis show!!!! Coming to Vegas!!!

Zvon May 26 2013 06:37 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Wright takes charge on the wind blown pop up to short left. Nice play but throws it away trying to double up Uggs. Man on 2nd, 2 out. Is Duds useless? I know it was blown around but he was no where near that ball.

Zvon May 26 2013 06:39 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

The home plate ump is high.

Ashie62 May 26 2013 07:00 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

The Mets need to wear those unis on Merengue night...

Frayed Knot May 26 2013 07:06 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Freeman now pissed at two of the four umps. Maybe he will argue for the cycle before the night is out.

Swan Swan H May 26 2013 07:20 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

The Dude kabooms.

Zvon May 26 2013 07:24 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

A ripped liner that just made it into the stands. So he's still due for a real whollipinKaboomer.

Zvon May 26 2013 07:27 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Mr. Ts hitting so soft. Everything off his bat is soft. Flys, liners,..how is this possible?

Zvon May 26 2013 07:29 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Alls that tells me is that Harvey smelt a win.

Zvon May 26 2013 07:52 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

I gotta tip my cap to Marcum.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:00 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Yeah, it's a career performance, but some margin for error would really, really help. (And Tejada allows a baserunner.)

Frayed Knot May 26 2013 08:02 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Can anyone say: Turning Point?

Zvon May 26 2013 08:11 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Ugh fuck. Well, we can't say that Marcum wasn't trying. He wanted that out bad. Then hangs one. Dagabbitt.

Amazing how the small margin for error just magnifies each mistake one or more of which will eventually come back and bite them.

And now we've turned this into a battle of bullpens and those rarely end well for us.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:20 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

They have a good pen. But yeah, the domino effect that comes from the batting struggles seems to be a pig ugly pile. And Davis has been the big domino.

Zvon May 26 2013 08:33 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Nice play by Hawkins. And then a very nice DP.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:34 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

¿Quien es Señor T.?

Zvon May 26 2013 08:37 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Here's an at-bat 4ya Turner.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 26 2013 08:38 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Let's Go Mets. That is all.

Zvon May 26 2013 08:39 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:40 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Do better, Wright. That is more. But Duda was the one I was hoping to get a crack here.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:41 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Man, hate those stands hugging the foul line.

Fman99 May 26 2013 08:42 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

John Buck, thanks for showing up. Tie game.

Zvon May 26 2013 08:43 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Woohooo! Bases loaded, 1 out. Davis.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:44 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

And holy shmoly. It's on Ike.

Frayed Knot May 26 2013 08:44 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

And how often lately has it come down to iKe?

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:45 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Should probably send Lagares in to pinch run.

Fman99 May 26 2013 08:45 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

IKE

Zvon May 26 2013 08:46 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

I'll take a sac fly plz. Just hit it, anywhere. BASEHIT INTO RIGHT! 2 score !

WOW. One pitch earlier I'm thinking how sad it has gotten in that I was encouraged that Ike's swing and miss looked better than his usual ones.

Edgy MD May 26 2013 08:46 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Zvon May 26 2013 08:48 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Baxter stealing 3rd? Or trying. He's out. Wacky Mets.

Frayed Knot May 26 2013 08:48 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

If Baxter had gotten a seven foot bigger jump on that steal attempt ... then he would only have been out by three feet.

themetfairy May 26 2013 08:50 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Do we have a lead? Is that possible?

Frayed Knot May 26 2013 08:52 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26 Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 26 2013 08:53 PM

2-run/1-inning saves this season (for all MLB) = 88% successful

Fman99 May 26 2013 08:52 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Zvon May 26 2013 08:53 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Nice K. I think if Bobby does his job here Marcum will enjoy his beer even more.

So if someone told you that one 1st-baseman was have the GW hit tonight and the other would have four K's, how would your bet have gone?

After the home run, I was sure this wasn't going to end well. Whew!

Edgy MD May 26 2013 09:02 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

I mean, I knew that they'd win again, someday, but man, it was getting hard to feel it. Parnell biting down hard on that bullpen ace job may just be the second best news this season. 1. Harvey 2. Parnell 3. Murphy, I guess. 4. ... uh... Duda, maybe

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 26 2013 09:04 PM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

It's possible that single off the closer the other night was the spellbreaker.

I'll put Duda second, just because he actually had a bad year last year. Then Murphy remaining steady at second and putting up Murphy numbers. Then Parnell's continued improvement. I don't even know where to go from there though. Buck's good first two weeks? Baxter being a mostly serviceable 4th OF type? Hefner showing that he's a pretty useful 5th/spot starter type?

Edgy MD May 27 2013 08:33 AM Re: Braves @ Mets 5/26

Considering the amount of money spent in the last decade on relatively unreliable closers, I'd say the notion that we may have developed a homegrown one is pretty damn nice. That may be some serious dough and not a small amount of mental energy going in a different direction over the next few years.

So it's down there with "Wright's still awesome" on my list of good news. But having an actual trustworthy option the bullpen IS very nice.
