IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

Fman99 Sep 09 2015 07:59 PM

Colon vs Shelby Miller. The Braves suck more than reality TV. Let's hope we can keep rolling. Kill KILL KILL vol 2!

Benjamin Grimm Sep 09 2015 08:00 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

"Kill Kill Kill" is the official CPF catchphrase of 2015. Maybe we can get all of those stupid Tom Koehler jerseys that seawolf ordered converted into Kill Kill Kill shirts.

Howie I believe said Terry intends to rest a few guys in this game

Benjamin Grimm Sep 09 2015 08:13 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

I vote to rest d'Arnaud, Granderson, and Wright.

GAME: New York Mets (78-61) at Atlanta Braves (56-84) DATE/TIME: Thursday, September 10 - 7:10 PM EST WHERE: Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Covers Media Group Ltd. The New York Mets have not won the National League East title yet, but after rallying three times in three days to sweep the Washington Nationals, it feels like only a matter of time before New York clinches its first division crown since 2006. The Mets open a four-game road series against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday after three consecutive comeback victories at Washington opened a seven-game advantage in the East, and Yoenis Cespedes continues tearing up opposing pitching. Cespedes hit the go-ahead homer in Wednesday’s 5-3 victory – his sixth in the past eight games – and the outfielder has 14 homers and 36 RBIs in 36 games with the Mets. New York’s offense has blasted 63 homers since Aug. 1, averaging 6.1 runs per contest as the Mets are 25-11 in that span. Bartolo Colon aims for his 14th victory in the opener as Atlanta’s Shelby Miller hopes to end his 20-start winless streak, a stretch in which Miller has posted a 3.46 ERA while going 0-12. The Braves won two of three at Philadelphia after dropping 19 of their previous 20 games, winning a series for the first time since Aug. 14-16 and pounding out a season-high 18 hits in Wednesday’s 8-1 rout. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), SportSouth (Atlanta) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (13-11, 4.18 ERA) vs. Braves RH Shelby Miller (5-13, 2.81) The 42-year-old Colon gives up plenty of hits – he leads the National League with 190 hits allowed, and opponents are batting .281 against him – but the second-oldest player in the majors continues finding ways to win games. Since allowing seven runs on Aug. 21 at Colorado, Colon has fired 25 consecutive scoreless innings – including two victories and a one-inning relief stint in the final six days of August. Colon is 3-0 with a 3.79 ERA in three starts against the Braves this season, striking out 13 while issuing only two walks (both intentional) in 19 innings. Perhaps nobody more epitomizes the frustration of Atlanta’s season than its only All-Star selection, as Miller seeks his first victory since he fell one out shy of no-hitting the Marlins on May 17. He has struggled in three of his past four starts – all losses – giving up six runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday at Washington in his last outing. Miller gave up three runs on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings in his only appearance against the Mets this season, a June 13 start in New York in which the Braves rallied to win in extra innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. Atlanta 3B Hector Olivera went 3-for-5 Wednesday, finishing the three-game series against the Phillies 6-for-13 with a homer and four RBIs. 2. New York closer Jeurys Familia recorded his 39th save Wednesday and has allowed one run in his past 19 innings since July 31. 3. The Braves open a 10-game homestand looking to snap an eight-game home losing skid, their longest since 1988.

Shelby Miller is a pretty good pitcher. This game will be no cakewalk. Rest is for losers Terry. KILL KILL KILL.

A four-game series in September in Atlanta's House of Horrors. It's hard to shake of the residual trauma of such a thing.

Not quite as starter-depleted as some of the rumors made it seem like Terry might do. Basically Wright sits, d'Arnaud sits, and Muffy sits. And it might rain anyway, or at least be delayed.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2015 02:08 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

Night off for Wrightaroni, Muffy, and d'Arnie is well earned. Well-earned for two of 'em, anyhow. Muffy could use a few knocks, but maybe a day on the bench gets him going. Best thing about this lineup: bench augmented with Wrightaroni, Muffy, and d'Arnie.

I remember when, if you heard there might be precipitation at a Braves game, it meant Lew Burdette would be loading up a spitter. Sigh. Later

Markakis, RF -- OK we know who he is Olivera, 3B -- Cuban born player that got a big bonus from the Dodgers but who got shipped to the Braves in a July 31st trade. Dodgers [u:3ngakl0d]paid the entire $30 million bonus[/u:3ngakl0d] despite him never playing a game for them. He may or may not be 30 y/o Freeman, 1B -- we know who he is Pierzynski, C -- has been getting the majority of the plate time despite being signed as a stop-gap Swisher, LF -- recently [crossout:3ngakl0d]dumped on[/crossout:3ngakl0d] traded to Atlanta, has two more years on his contract after this one Peterson, 2B -- their everyday guy now Simmons, SS -- yeah, we know him too Bourn, CF -- second tour w/Atlanta. Remember when the Wilpons were cheap-ass bastards for not signing him to a FA deal AND giving up the Conforto draft pick? Miller, P -- usually pitches well, never wins. Last won shortly after Jerry Blevins last won.

Nothing better than putting them down three in a row after throwing runs up in the top of the inning.

Shelby Miller is a menace.

Zvon Sep 10 2015 08:49 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

Did anyone see FknFrdyFrmn running along side Kelly J when he hit his double earlier? That was hilarious. And now he's messing with Uribe. If we went out and got FFF we'd never lose. I'd torture him tho, make him a pinch hitter.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2015 08:55 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

Uribe answers the bell in the bottom of the inning? Man, remember when the Mets were supposed to prove they were serious by getting Michael Bourn?

Uribe and Johnson are sticking it to their old team. They are a combined 4 for 6 with 2 runs and an RBI.

Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2015 09:45 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

Bartolo's streak of scoreless innings comes to an end as Peterson triples to drive in Swisher. Promptly followed by another single and the score is suddenly 4-2.

Zvon Sep 10 2015 09:48 PM Re: IGT Thurs 9/10 Colon v Miller Atlanta? Shmatlanta

To get that close.... Colon is done in the 7th, Mets up 4-2.

Flores leads off the 8th with a single. Eric Young pinch runs for Flores. A wild pitch and a sac fly gives the Mets a potential insurance run at third base with one out. Plawecki drives in the run with a grouhd out to the right side. 5-2 Mets going to the bottom of the 8th.

I would have put in O'Flaherty to start the 9th, just to give the rest of the pen a little more rest. If he let two baserunners on then Reed could have come in, but if you're carrying O'Flaherty on the roster then you should at least give him the chance for some mop-up duty when there's a large lead.
