Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 05:56 AM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Let's see now: facing a rookie? - check recently converted from reliever to starter? - check decent results so far? - check already has a save vs Mets? - check haven't scored in like a week? - check So I'm thinking we're looking at probably a 3-hit / CG / shutout.

TransMonk Jun 20 2015 07:22 AM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

with 2 hits by Syndergaard.

NY Mets at Atlanta When: 7:10 PM ET, Saturday, June 20, 2015 Where: Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia SportsDirect Inc. The Atlanta Braves hoped top prospect Jose Peraza would be ready to take over second base at some point this season, but Jace Peterson continues solidifying his hold on the position. The Braves are within 2 ˝ games of first place in the National League East entering Saturday’s home contest with the New York Mets after Peterson continued his solid season with a two-run double in the eighth inning of Atlanta’s 2-1 victory in Friday’s series opener. Peterson, acquired from San Diego in the offseason as part of the Justin Upton trade, has hits in 18 of his past 20 games and is batting .284 since becoming the Braves’ leadoff hitter with 21 RBIs in 32 games. The Mets, who own a one-half game lead over Washington in the East, also have an infielder sparking their offense. Ruben Tejada has collected hits in 14 of his past 18 games, helping New York stay in the hunt despite injuries to third baseman David Wright and second baseman Daniel Murphy. Friday’s loss dropped New York to 3-14 in its past 17 road games. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), FSN South (Atlanta) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (2-4, 3.76 ERA) vs. Braves RH Williams Perez (3-0, 2.29) Syndergaard has shown glimpses of why the Mets are so high on the 22-year-old, who made his major-league debut May 12. He struck out 11 while holding Toronto’s high-powered offense to one run on two hits in six innings Monday, following two starts in which he allowed 11 runs on 20 hits across 10 innings. Syndergaard, Toronto’s first pick of the 2010 draft, has fanned 45 hitters in 40 2/3 innings against just eight walks. Perez’s lone appearance against the Mets came not as a starter in emergency relief, earning the save with a scoreless 11th inning June 13 in New York. He made his scheduled start two days later at Boston and was outstanding, allowing five hits across six scoreless innings. Perez has posted a 1.50 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP in six starts since moving into the Atlanta rotation, striking out 29 hitters in 36 innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. After playing 234 consecutive games, Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman has missed the past two contests with a sprained right wrist. 2. New York C Kevin Plawecki has reached base in six consecutive games, going 6-for-14 during that stretch. 3. Atlanta 3B Juan Uribe, who made six errors in 102 games for the Dodgers last season, has committed one in three straight contests and four in 21 games since being traded from Los Angeles.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 03:45 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Grandy - RF Ruby - SS Dudy - 1B Cuddy - LF d'Arny - C Laggy - CF Dilly - 2B Soupy - 3B Synderella - P Still no F Freeman for the Braves (at least not in the starting lineup). Probably no Familia for the Mets w/strained groin (his own hopefully). On the O-o-T-S front, Nats kicking butt, a 5-0 lead over Pitt in bottom 6th (just chased Liriano) and Scherzer working on a perfecto. Looks like we gotta win to stay up top.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 04:55 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

I got a shortstop, Ruby is his name He don't hit much, but I cheer his Metly name Ruby, Ruby, pick your knees up Try and get your OBPs up Ruby, Ruby, help the Flushing nine.

Ashie62 Jun 20 2015 05:16 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Lets get Syndergaard rolling on the road.

Ashie62 Jun 20 2015 05:38 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

The Mets and their alternative uniforms are up 2-0 early.

Zvon Jun 20 2015 05:41 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Triples by 37-year-old catchers are rare.

Princess Diana sitting behind home plate tonight.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:15 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

The batter interfered with the catcher. If his bat didn't hit d'Arnaud, he might've thrown the ball into centerfield faster.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 06:21 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Deep counts on everyone ... Syndergaard might be over 100 pitches by the 4th inning. I think by this time (1:15 into the game) last night, yesterday's game was already in the 5th.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:24 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Should that second run be earned?

Edgy MD wrote: Should that second run be earned? Don't think so. You give him the stolen base, but nothing that happened after that indicates that a runner from 2nd would have scored.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 06:29 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

And, stop me if you've heard this one, d'Arnaud's RBI single three innings (and three strikeouts) ago was our last hit.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:30 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Agreed on the run, but the box score says otherwise. Glad to see Keith get on the Mets for staring at too many pitches with two outs.

Zvon Jun 20 2015 06:32 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

I can't take much more of this infield BS. I got people taking over here, can't hear the TV sometimes. Who was supposed to cover there? Herrera? There's just no excuse for that boo-boo. And of course it leads to a run.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:35 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Goofy, Laggy. Goofy.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:36 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Defense, Mets. Oh, and offense.

Lefty Specialist Jun 20 2015 06:36 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Score early, then stop- Check. Incomprehensible plays on defense allowing cheap runs to score- Double Check. Starter having to throw far too many pitches, opening the door to suspect bullpen- Check. Predictability, thy name is Mets.

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 06:37 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Man. Bullshit runs. Make 'em hit something hard, Mets.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 06:38 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Admit it, if I told you this inning would end with the Mets only down by 9-2 you'd take it.

Wow. Curtis out to center on a humid night. Their pitcher looks as goopy as ours. I wonder if Álex Torres has a Royal Giants-insignia soft helmet band.

I think I'm here 100% now. I typed that comeback post and didn't even see the homer as it happened. Saw d' heading into the dugout. 4-4 Mets OE: so all 3 were in the wrong thread. At least I'm consistent.

Zvon Jun 20 2015 07:12 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

4-4 Mets :)

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 07:18 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Shift turns a routine grounder into a double.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 07:18 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Who the Fuck did Pierzynski strike a deal with? 1B, 2B, & 3B and he hasn't hit a ball hard yet! Now we just have to stay tuned for Simmons's 3rd RBI bloop of the game.

Zvon Jun 20 2015 07:18 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

white magic! Hey they slid right in, like I never was an idiot. UGH. A bleeder. Peir on 2nd, 0 out. Leathersnatch is done. That was such a soft double.

GAH!. We can't even throw out Peirz on a shallow fly. I'm sad :(

Zvon Jun 20 2015 07:27 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Shit. I told you some catcher some day would get fucked up cuzza these new rules.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 07:27 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

So let's review this inning (still in progress): - shit hit - shit hit - bunt hit - short sac fly which scores a 96 y/o heavy legged catcher because of an off-line throw. My fear here is that the Braves are actually going to hit a ball hard sometime soon and it'll be a 4-run game

Edgy MD Jun 20 2015 07:28 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

I'm trying to think if it would've been different under the old rules. I don't really conclude that it would've.

d'Kong76 Jun 20 2015 07:29 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Doesn't look good for Travis, hopefully it's a little thing.

d'Kong76 Jun 20 2015 07:30 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

If Lagares can't throw, why is he playing? Go get it fixed, or get him some rest. What are they waiting for his frickin' arm to ex- plode before making a decision?

Another nothing hit. Another flatuent brain.

d'Kong76 Jun 20 2015 07:34 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

When I was seven years old I was taught if the ball is hit to me what am I going to do in this situation before each pitch.

Frayed Knot Jun 20 2015 07:35 PM Re: IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

Keith thinks Campbell should have thrown home there. The only problem is that if he did the throw would have been just off-line enough to: a) not get the out b) injure our other catcher

d'Arnaud's injury was to elbow, going to hospital for evaluation.

Watching that curve with two strikes. Over and over. Keith would be ashamed.

When we were driving home, Howie and Josh were recounting how the Turner Field security crew took away the thunder sticks from The 7 Line because they were upset with how boisterous they were. Anything on the TV about that? Meanwhile, Gary and Keith report that the X-rays on d'Arnaud's elbow were negative - whew!

According to Howie and Josh the Turner Field director of operations also told the Braves' television guys to stop putting shots of the group on the screen. How petty can you get?

Sheeeeeeeee-hit. At least Pierz didn't get the cycle. I'm used to pitchers and bull pens giving back games, not infields. This has got to stop. And what Keith said tonight I disagree with. Tejeda is a better shortstop AND a better third baseman than Flores. If Murphy wasn't coming back Tuesday, maybe, but you don't start fuckin' with Flores at short now. Not if the plan is to keep him as the regular shortstop.
