IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

Fman99 Sep 21 2015 08:11 PM

Going with the Fab Four IGT motif this time. For awesomeness. Logan Verrett with the spot start against some guy named Matt Wisler. I assume Wisler's mother will be watching the game.

Logan Verrett, Don't Let Me Down. Even though you're just a Day Tripper who's Fixing a Hole in the rotation, you've got to Carry That Weight.

GAME: Atlanta Braves (60-91) at New York Mets (85-65) DATE/TIME: Tuesday, September 22 - 7:10 PM EST WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Covers Media Group, Ltd. A return to National League play is just what the New York Mets needed to accelerate their pursuit of a division title and they look to continue their domination of the visiting Atlanta Braves on Tuesday when the teams resume their three-game series. The Mets eased to a 4-0 victory Monday night to improve to 5-0 against the Braves in a 12-day span. New York whittled its magic number to seven for clinching the East and extended its lead over Washington to 6 1/2 games with 12 to play. With their next nine games against three of the worst teams in the NL - Atlanta, Cincinnati and Philadelphia - the Mets have a chance to wrap up the division before a season-ending three-game set against the Nationals. Yoenis Cespedes collected three hits Monday to break out of a 1-for-19 rut while Daniel Murphy is 11-for-33 with eight RBIs over the last eight games. Right fielder Nick Markakis (neck) is expected back in the lineup after missing two games for the Braves, who have been shut out 16 times this season and four times in the past 21 games. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Matt Wisler (5-8, 5.63 ERA) vs. Mets RH Logan Verrett (1-1, 2.89) Wisler saw his winless drought stretch to his last 10 outings after giving up four runs and nine hits in a 5-0 setback against Toronto in his last start. The 23-year-old rookie acquitted himself well in his previous turn, permitting two runs on seven hits over six innings in a 5-1 setback to the Mets. Wisler had his best start in his major-league debut against the Mets with eight innings of one-run ball on June 19. Verrett has thrived as a spot starter as the Mets attempt to curb the innings on their young pitchers, and he'll make another in place of Jacob deGrom against the Braves. Verrett allowed one run on three hits over five innings versus Miami in his last outing and turned in a gem in a similar situation versus Colorado on Aug. 23 with eight innings of one-run ball. He gave up a run in a relief appearance versus Atlanta on June 20. WALK-OFFS: 1. Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz, hospitalized over the weekend with blood clots, underwent surgery Monday to remove part of his first rib. 2. Mets RHP Addison Reed has not allowed a run in 11 appearances since he was acquired from Arizona. 3. Braves C Christian Bethancourt is expected to be out a few games after jamming his left thumb on a tag play Sunday.

Frayed Knot Sep 22 2015 06:25 AM Re: IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

So far we've scored a total of 3 runs off this Wisler guy over 2 games/14 innings - and one of those came via a balk. It seems to be the rest of the league that smacks him around to the tune of an ERA around 6.00 Be a nice idea of several someones decide to get their hittin' shoes on tonight rather than hoping that Verrett will continue to throw out dominating spot-starts on demand (2 ER, 7 Hits over 13 IP in 2 Starts)

I love the Beates theme. I'm not big on innings limits but deGrom looks like he could use a rest. Go Logan. LETS GO METS!!

Who is Peterson? At least he spells it with a T. 1-1 Mets Settle down Verrett. We need another 2 from you. 2 out, 2 on.5th.

Rockin' Doc Sep 22 2015 06:28 PM Re: IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

Why is it that the Mets can't seem to figuere out Wisler? The rest of the league seems to have no trouble beating on him. This is his 3rd start aginst the Mets this season. Through 4 innings tonight he has surrendered a total of 4 earned runs in 18 innings against the Mets (2.00 ERA). The rest of the league has scored 51 earned runs in 72.1 innings (6.35 ERA). They need to wake up and put a beat down on him now.

Try as they might no other booth can duplicate G,K,& R because what makes them great together is that they are genuine friends. We don't answer back. Tsk Tsk.

Zvon Sep 22 2015 06:41 PM Re: IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

That might be the third time I've almost seen those two collide. I can't fault Conforto for being aggressive. Gary says Flores didn't call it. Flores: call it!

I hope the last three games against the Gnats are for show as the Mets of late look sick. Just set a normal rotation and stop screwing around. To Cespedes, grow up.

Rockin' Doc Sep 22 2015 07:27 PM splitsville

Leadoff walk by Granderson to open the home half of the 8th. Thankfully the Braves choose to lift Wisler (whom the Mets apparently confuse for Strasburg or Greinke) to bring in Moylan. Hopefully, the Mets will recognize him for who he truly is. Time for a major comeback. Lets Go Mets!

Rockin' Doc Sep 22 2015 07:34 PM Re: ...And Whoever's Playing the Nationals

Bases juiced to Duda with one out. Cuddyer hitting for Duda, which will invariably bring a righthander from the Braves pen.

Mets Guy in Michigan Sep 22 2015 07:34 PM Re: IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

Cuddy with the sac fly. Was hoping for more than that, not going to lie to you. Hoping that Flores can be up there Fixing a Hole.

Cuddy 6-11 going against that guy. Flores was 1-1. The Mets battered him in three games the last series. Conforto has never faced Edwin Jackson, but has hit Marlon and Tito well.

Fman99 Sep 22 2015 07:55 PM Re: IGT 9/22 Braves at Mets "Getting Better"

Why is Clippard even in this game? Terry Collins managing with his head in the sky (no diamonds).

And we get a little help from our friends, as your Camden Yards (OE - Nats Park!) final is 4-1 O's.

Would I be mistaken if I opined that on missed strike threes they seem to reach vs us a lot more than the other way around? I'm thinking we're about negative-15 or so this season on those.

All Braves runs with two outs tonight.
