Robert Alexander Wood versus Jon Niese Juan Lagares - CF Daniel Murphy - 2B Marlon Byrd - RF Andrew Brown - LF Josh Satin - 1B Justin Turner - SS Wilmer Flores - 3B John Buck - C Jonathon Niese - LHP

It's actually Alex Wood (Travis is the one on the Cubs). Alex is a 23 y/o rookie making his 22nd ML appearance, his 7th ML start, and 3rd ML start vs the Mets. He started the 1st game of the June 18th DH but was pulled after just 3 innings down 1-0 He started again on July 26 and we chased him in the 5th while the Mets were leading 4-3. Mets went on the win both games. He's sporting a 2.61 ERA; 1.026 WHiP overall.

It's a Niese day for a Met winning. It's a Niese day to start again! [youtube]AAZQaYKZMTI[/youtube]

wouldn't it be good to beat Alex Wood

Every time I see you falling I get down on my Niese and pray!

Just wanted to ask.....how fecking good is Lagares out there? ....and do pitchers have that thought in their heads when pitching?

G-Fafif Aug 21 2013 09:06 AM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

I assume Lagares caught that question, as he catches everything else.

no he doesn't walk much at all.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 12:03 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Nobody tracking this? Scoreless tie in the fourth. Niese was untouched until just now when Andrelton Simmons singled and Lagares pegged him going for two.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 12:06 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

SATINBOMB! 15 rows back. Mets up 1-0.

Talk about timing.

Satin's home run a mirror image of Davis's last night.

ooo,holy shit. ooooo, that was bad.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 12:36 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Jason Heyward takes it on the helmet. Not good, considering how far off the plate he stands.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 12:38 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Heyward hit in the side of the face with a fastball. Flap must have been involved or he'd be out cold. Jaw? He walks off himself. Whew, that was scary.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 12:40 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

And Niese gets seeming rattled, and the two-out, two-strike HbP turns out to be the tying run.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 12:52 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Who's gonna win the 2013 METS slower than shit award? Satin or Flores. Buck should be in the running as well.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2013 12:55 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Braves are going to get pissed at us if we keep picking off their players like this. First EY takes out Hudson, now Niese and Heyward.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 12:56 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

lol. u see Murphy with the deek on the line single to right? He's a crazy man :)

metsguyinmichigan Aug 21 2013 12:57 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

I have a sad feeling that this is where the game slips away. Second and third, one out...

Zvon Aug 21 2013 12:58 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Upton does something good for the team and then tries to get out of doing it. A different kind of crazy.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 12:58 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

I'm afraid Lagares is gonna get the payback pitch.

2 strike squeeze!! Heads up Satin. Keith has never seen one? Do I watch more baseball than Keith?!

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2013 01:00 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

WOW!!! A two-strike squeeze play goes sour for 'lanta. Could be a HUGE break if Niese can take care of the PH. Gets Wood out of the game too.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2013 01:01 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Now Niese is walking the call-up PHer to get to Schaefer. Not sure I like this even though it brings up lefty/lefty.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 01:04 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

I don't trust the Mets doctors. How could the Braves? Heyward heads to the hospital for see-thru pictures.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 01:39 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Without Heyward out there they are doomed. Turnip with the 1 out double in the 9th. 1-1

Zvon Aug 21 2013 01:45 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Gah. I want to see that slide into second again. That was too close for Brave comfort.

Zvon Aug 21 2013 01:50 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Keith may be more scatterbrained than me, and that's sayin a lot.

Stage set for fkn frddy frmn to ruin my day. Terry will throw Rice out there in an effort to keep me in a good mood.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2013 01:57 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

The Braves just keep rotating these pen guys who never seem to give up baserunners. So even when they have two guys go down at the beginning of the season (O'Flaherty & Venters) a couple more just pop up in their place Their five most commonly used guys this year are: Kinbrel -- 0.93 WHiP Anthony Vavaro -- 1.19 Luis Avilan -- 0.86 David Carpenter -- 1.03 Jordan Walden -- 1.06 Walden & Carpenter are new this season, and really only Kimbrel was a main cog in their pen prior to this year. And today, with the Mets having three straight RHBs coming up, Fredi has no qualms going to his Lefty with the game on the line - and he gets away with it.

Horrible. One pitch, and there goes the ballgame.

What was the beef that got Terry and Murph tossed?

Braves 1st run: 2-out/nobody on ... then the HBP and two straight two-out hits Braves runs 2-4: 2-out/nobody on: Three straight two-out hits

It was a bang bang play tho. I'm not gonna start jawin how umps suck this time, but I do wish that call went the other way. It didn't and that, for me, was the ball game. DatsAbaseball.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2013 02:53 PM Re: IGT #124 8/21/13: Braves @ Mets: Niese Day for a Sweep

Mets sorta robbed themselves by only scoring only one run. I think the key to the game, more than the failed hit and run, was Laggy failing to tag on Murphy's flyout to Terdoslavich.
