Beat me by that much!

Ceetar Apr 12 2015 09:21 AM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

think the Mets get 86, or 99 wins this season?

Better days are coming.

LGM and stuff. Predicting Lagares gets a coupla hits and everyone concludes its the spot in batting order that makes the difference. Also liking that Muffy gets the day off, he's absolutely killing the Mets. Would like to see Flores get in a few licks today. And Cuddyer. And Recker, sure. Why not.

Most Mets at bats without any RBI's: 1. Doug Saunders - 67 2. Eric Hillman - 65 3. Bartolo Colon - 64 4. Ray Burris - 57 5. Chris Capuano - 56 6. Anthony Young - 55 7T. Bob L. Miller - 50 7T. Charlie Puleo - 50 9. Neil Allen - 49 10. Randy Jones - 44

CuddBOOM! 2-0 Metsies

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 12:32 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Braves tie it up on a rally began by a failed DP that Flores couldn't turn. On the other hand, he just led off the inning with the sort of double into the gap that seems to be his specialty.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 12:33 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Colon with an RBI chance!

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 12:33 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

HOLY CRAP!!!

Zvon Apr 12 2015 12:34 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Colon with the RBI single! You hear Ronnie? "He almost became undressed on his way down to first." 3-2 BoFat

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 12:42 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Bartolo doesn't wind himself running off the field after the inning either.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 12:50 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

W?d is not so g?d, and we sh?d have about six runs by now.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:00 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Braves booth waxing eulogiac about the great Jim Beauchamp.

Zvon Apr 12 2015 01:09 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Ronnie talking about Wrights positioning. I wonder if David could tip pitches doing stuff like that. Whew. FFF almost goes yard. But his smash goes to where flyballs go to die.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:21 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Braves have gotten some low strikes today. Hey, Michael Cuddyer, save some pine tar for everybody else.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:34 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Lead lost again. The Braves bullpen has yielded no runs in 18 innings this season. Due.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:40 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Bunt two men over to set up Tejada. Murphy pinch-hitting not for Tejada, but for Colon. And they walk (?!) Tejaddy. Goin' to the lefty specialist to face Murphy. Like our chances... I think. Who is this guy coming in?

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:42 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Andrew McKirahan. Big league debut. [fimg=500:xr79cbf7]https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/hsRL1mvlg34-_IhoHB3r4r7msDo=/0x65:3724x2548/730x487/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/45797338/usa-today-8404406.0.jpg[/fimg:xr79cbf7] Does Bob Apodaca know you're using his hair?

And the go ahead sac fly breaks the bullpen streak.

Zvon Apr 12 2015 01:47 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Good nuff job Muffy. After it looked like McKirahan was going to pwn him, Da Murph delivers a sac fly to give the Mets the lead. 4-3

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 01:53 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

In a better world, Murphy stays in the game at second and Tejada is our new shortstop.

Frayed Knot Apr 12 2015 02:00 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

I don't care what MdD does for the rest of this season, that inning makes the Blevins trade already worth it.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 02:03 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Don't Stop B-Levins. Meanwhile, Duda is suddenly a lefty-killer.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2015 02:06 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

Happy to see Blevins stay in, no matter how this turns out.

Zvon Apr 12 2015 02:09 PM Re: IGT #6 4/12/15: Braves Aren't Actually Good

A.J. Pierzynski is built like Foghorn Leghorn. 1 out.

I was actually scared of Gomes there, and BAM -- welcome to the Familia.

Thank you for coming. And by the way, looking tres smart in your gray road kit, Mets.

Put that in the muthafuckin books. Familia with a cool, celebrationless celebration.

Accidental double post. Losing the first two to the Braves sucks, but I think this was a decent start to the season. The bats will heat up a little more.

And, say what you will about managers over-playing L/R (and I agree that they do at times), but Fredi having those three LHBs lined up in a row [Markakis, Freeman, Pierzynski] plays right into the hands of a good LOOGY Now I realize the Braves were stacking the lineup today vs Bartolo, but even one RHB mixed in among those three hitters there at least changes the thinking for Terry and maybe the outcome.

Caught innings 1-2 in my Jeep driving home from a half marathon, and innings 8-9 on TV after my nap. Good stuff today.
