IGT #152 - Braves @ Mets - 9/21/16

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2016 12:21 PM

Bartolo Colon vs Ryan Weber What's a Ryan Weber? Glad you asked. 26 y/o RH, 22nd round draft pick in 2009 out of St Petersburg College, which I've never heard of but my extensive research has turned up that it's in St Petersburg, Florida. He has pieces of two seasons in MLB, five starts in 2015, then 15 appearances this year including one start. He's faced the Mets twice and they've pretty much grilled him both times: in a start last September [4 runs in 6.1 IP] and once in relief back in April [3 runs, 6 hits in just 2 innings], both were NYM wins. But nothing's in the bag here as the Braves are hitting these days (and, no, not just against us) and, as you probably noticed, the Mets are not. Remember the stat last night about the Mets having scored (updated) 21 runs now over their last 8 games? Well the Braves have notched 49 runs in their last 8. Runs scored in September is 100 to 69 in Atlanta's favor.

This game also decides the season series vs the Braves (currently 9-9) an especially humbling fact considering that we started the year vs them with four straight wins.

His 20th bomb breaks the Mets record for HRs by a shortstop, which belonged to the guy on 2nd. He has a total of 21 including his pinch hit job.

Recker rung up on a pitcher four inches off the plate, although the previous pitch was a strike. Colon seemed to hold up his hands four inches apart as he walked off the field.

56 pitches thru 5 for Bartolo. I think Syndergaard threw 56 pitches in the 5th inning the other day ... and he didn't even get through the whole inning.

Is that the first come-backer Familia has fielded cleanly this year? But you know what this is really on ... it's scoring the first two runners of the game and then going into 'Operation Shutdown' for the next seven innings.

He is horrible at game strategy and might have just cost the Mets this game with his thinking, or lack thereof. And don't forget that he "forgot" to pinchrun for Flores which might have cost them the game and has cost them at least 10 days w/o Flores.

Great. Aleadoff hit. Now we're doomed, because the Mets can't score unless it's on a home run and the majority of them are solo shots. So Nimmo sunk our chances with that lead off single. And Bruce strikes out. What a surprise.

A little better this morning but still, man was it hard to sleep last night. Just kept going over and over how bad we were. Keep thinking about how the Braves were able to get productive outs and we couldn't. Enciarte and Kemp got it done. TJ Rivera struck out. Hard to blame TJ as those were some wicked sliders. You can see why Chaz Roe is so filthy against righties. Which begs the question. For a manager who made 437 moves last night, how the fuck did Terry miss that one? Check out the ridiculous splits for Chaz Roe: vs. Right: .369 OPS vs. Left: 1.009 OPS With the game on the line, how do you not send a lefty up there? Does Terry Collins not have access to player splits? It seems every day he makes just horrible, horrible decisions.

Centerfield Sep 22 2016 01:52 PM Re: IGT #152 - Braves @ Mets - 9/21/16

And fuck, you gotta catch the fucking ball. Loney can't catch a routine grounder to first, while their outfielders are going over the wall. Fuck fuck fuck.

Lefty Specialist Sep 22 2016 02:24 PM Re: IGT #152 - Braves @ Mets - 9/21/16

The thing that sticks with me is the total mismanagement of the bullpen. You bring Reed in in the seventh to get the last out. I'd have stuck with Bartolo (who was on a low pitch count), but whatever. But to then take out arguably your best reliever to go lefty-lefty on FF Freeman, then to take that reliever out when he fails to bring in Familia for a 5-out save chance, well, that's just ridiculous. Of course he throws too many pitches in the 8th, so that he starts to lose it in the 9th. And the double switches! I'm wondering what happened to Reyes as I watch Travis d'Arnaud in his spot. Terry managed scared last night and it cost him. Someone said this felt like 2007 and I heartily agree. This is how Willie managed down the stretch, trying a million things, none of which worked. And yes, you have to catch the goddamn ball.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 22 2016 02:36 PM Re: IGT #152 - Braves @ Mets - 9/21/16

With Duda back, Loney really shouldn't be playing at all at this point. It's not like we're even hoping for a flurry of home runs from him, as we are (presumably) from Jay Bruce. He's low-ceiling, low-floor, and he's given us all he will.

Centerfield Sep 22 2016 03:28 PM Re: IGT #152 - Braves @ Mets - 9/21/16

I am seriously wondering if Terry Collins looks at players' splits. Twice in this series he has taken an effective RH reliever out of the game to go lefty-lefty when the splits did not justify such a move. And last night he failed to go with a LH pinch hitter when the splits absolutely screamed for it. There was a SIX HUNDRED FORTY POINT differential in OPS. It's almost incomprehensible.
