IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2016 11:53 AM

7:15 on FOX Julio Teheran vs Jacob deGrom We haven't seen Teheran since way back on Sunday when he was one-hitting our sorry asses. deGrom was the mound opponent that day also and he was OK--5 innings, 3 runs, 5 hits--before the bullpen, Bastardo & Robles, served the Braves up another 3 runs in what became probably the least competitive game we've played all year. So today almost certainly has to go better than that as we strive for a whopping two wins in a row and control of the season series with the sorry-ass Bravos (currently 6-5 in favor of the Mets) Both teams used 4-2/3 innings worth of relief pitching last night so will be looking for some length from their starters.

Uh oh, that Teheran guy.

NY Mets at Atlanta When: 7:15 PM ET, Saturday, June 25, 2016 Where: Jane Fonda Field, Atlanta, Georgia SportsDirect Inc. Julio Teheran makes his second start in seven days against the New York Mets on Saturday in Atlanta, and the Braves’ ace can only top his last start by throwing a perfect game. Teheran dazzled the Mets in a one-hit shutout last Sunday, walking no one, and looks to power the Braves to an eighth victory in 10 games after New York held off the Braves 8-6 Friday. Atlanta is playing its best baseball of the season but New York’s offense broke out in a big way Friday, getting three hits from Neil Walker, and two hits and three RBIs from James Loney in building an 8-0 lead before the Braves rallied with a six-run fifth. Acquired in a trade with San Diego last month, Loney is 9-for-20 in his past six games. Walker entered the series on an 0-for-15 skid but is 5-for-6 with three runs scored in the first two games of the set. Jeurys Familia recorded his 25th save Friday, setting a franchise record for most converted to start a season without blowing one, and has saved a franchise-record 41 consecutive opportunities. TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, Fox PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (3-4, 2.96 ERA) vs. Braves RH Julio Teheran (3-7, 2.66) It was deGrom who was on the other end of the Teheran gem Sunday, giving up three runs on five hits with six strikeouts in six innings. He has dropped his past four decisions and run support is a big reason why, as New York’s struggling offense has scored just two runs in deGrom’s four June outings. He beat Atlanta on April 24, giving up one run in 5 2/3 innings, and is 3-3 in seven career starts against the Braves with 50 strikeouts and eight walks in 44 innings. Teheran struggled through most of 2015 after back-to-back 14-win seasons, but the 25-year-old is enjoying arguably the best season of his career despite a low win total. Teheran is second in the National League in WHIP (0.91) and eighth in WAR for pitchers (2.9), while posting career bests in hits allowed per nine innings (six) and strikeouts-to-walks ratio (3.83). The Braves have averaged 2.41 runs for Teheran, who is 3-4 with a 1.83 ERA in his past 10 outings. WALK-OFFS: 1. According to published reports, New York could be close to signing its former SS Jose Reyes, who was released by Colorado. 2. Atlanta P Mike Foltynewicz (bone spurs in right elbow) is scheduled to throw approximately 75 pitches in a rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Gwinnett. 3. Braves 3B Adonis Garcia is hitting .375 in his past 11 games with two doubles, three homers, seven runs scored and eight RBIs.

Go stub your toe de Aza! I wanted a shot of Nimmo in MLB Mets dress so of course they are wearing throwbacks. The Royal Giants ones. They're nice tho.

Even though we lost that challenge at 2nd base we still get five more tonight, right? That certainly seems to be how things have been working lately.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2016 07:03 PM Re: IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

Can't see risking that as the trailing runner.

The Fox broadcast is unbearable. They talked to Travis and Chase's mom for a whole inning, and didn't show a replay of a close play at second. I'm happy for Mrs. d'Arnaud too, but I'm trying to watch a game here.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2016 07:51 PM Re: IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

That's Teheran in a row retired by the Braves.

Felling bad for deGrom, who must be pulling out that long hair because of this lack of offense.

Fran's commentary was one long sentence from the 1st inning to the 9th that I'm not even sure stopped during commercial breaks.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2016 08:37 PM Re: IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

Well the good news is we got rid of Teheran. The bad is that we can't hit the Atlanta pen either (5 runs against in the last 30-some innings - all of them back in April)

Edgy MD Jun 25 2016 08:42 PM Re: IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

Time for Terry to have a dress down of the team. If they weren't coming off a World Series you'd have to think his job would be on the line. The team looks like shit.

Zvon Jun 25 2016 09:05 PM Re: IGT 6/25/16 - Game #73 Mets @ Braves

Conforto would have run that out. Did deAza hit his own foot w/the bat? Tonight, worse than useless. It might be early yet tho.

If MLB is serious about speeding up the game they should just pass a rule where all Braves plays at 1st get automatically reviewed.

I watch them every day and I haven't noticed that. On a 3-1 count Julio throws one high and tight that Cespedes swings at, making it 3-2. Looked like it could have been a ball. "I'd do that again, only throw it a little higher." And did he say earlier that the Mets got Reyes to lead off from now on? What an idiot.

Centerfield wrote: Alejandro, Skipper wants to see you in his office. LONG overdue, on a team that's been struggling to manage resources. The only thing he's EVER had on Conforto-- even during the disConfort of his slump-- is that he can play other OF positions poorly. I'm so beyond okay with his leaving that if he latched on with an NL rival post-release and killed us down the stretch with clutch pinch-hits and diving catches, I wouldn't even be mad. I'd tip my hat, and move on, because I'd be way too busy prepping my basement zombie shelter, napping to the sounds of the flying swine above, and awaiting the fiery, Nationals-red end of the world.

Alejandro's job was Nimmo's to take, and now he's got a first real chance at taking it. The truth is, though, that seeing as they are carrying only four outfielders, there's a good chance he'll stick around at least until the return of Lagares. He's got to fall behind Nimmo, Conforto, and some other guy.
