IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

MFS62 May 02 2018 12:13 PM

Hope I'm not breaking tradition. DeGrom vs Newcomb (LHP) The last guy named Newcomb(e) I saw pitch was was wearing a Brooklyn Dodger uniform. And that guy was a righty. LGM. Later

Any relation? Ronald Acuna, Mets minor leaguer

Edgy MD May 02 2018 08:23 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Yup. Much was made during last night's broadcast that Reyes played with Acuña senior.

Benjamin Grimm May 02 2018 08:45 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Oops! I watched parts of the game yesterday but must have missed the part when they discussed that. Or else I wasn't listening too closely. I do like Gary, Keith, and Ron but a lot of times I find that I'm tuning them out.

Frayed Knot May 02 2018 09:42 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

At first I assumed he was just part of the seemingly growing segment of pro athletes (not just baseball) who use the Junior in their names even when it isn't necessary to distinguish themselves from the name their fathers made in the sport. Obviously it was needed for Ken Griffey Jr but not so much for Melvin (B.J.) Upton Jr., current BoSox OF Jackie Bradley Jr., or a scattering of others. But I guess the current Acuna feels he's honoring his dad who had a career in baseball even if never in the major leagues. If Sr. did have a long career they could both be playing at the same time seeing as how he's still just 38 y/o and only 18-1/2 years older than his son (19-1/2 for the Griffeys).

Edgy MD May 02 2018 11:38 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

There's the hit we needed yesterday, Rosario. Build on that.

Ashie62 May 02 2018 11:40 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

1st place showdown LGM!

Frayed Knot May 02 2018 11:49 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

33 pitches for deGrom thru 3 (not to mention a one-hitter) I think Wheeler was at 31/1 in his last start. He got better from there, but that opening inning put him in such a hole to start with.

Edgy MD May 02 2018 11:57 PM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Céspedes hit the ball so hard up the middle that I flinched. Shortstop was positioned perfectly, but he flinched too. It was so straight it probably knuckled a bit.

Edgy MD May 03 2018 12:08 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

deGrom coming out?

Edgy MD May 03 2018 12:11 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Mercy me. deGrom is the key to the season.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 12:14 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Hopefully it's nothing big, I'm sure the team will lettuce know by Saturday morning.

41Forever May 03 2018 12:15 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Ack! Why is deGrom out?? Something happen?

Fman99 May 03 2018 12:16 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Gary and crew thinking maybe a tweaked back. He made a face after the last Braves hit.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 12:16 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Left with a twinge, a grimace, a yikes...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 03 2018 12:26 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Dutch? Wha happen? A swing thing?

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 12:28 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

DeGrom going down the tunnel with his glove on his head filled me with dread.

Edgy MD May 03 2018 12:32 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Hyperextended elbow.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 12:32 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Hyperextended right elbow. As Gary said, "Not good".

Edgy MD May 03 2018 12:40 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

And a 1-0 deficit looking mighty steep.

Frayed Knot May 03 2018 12:45 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Of course none of these rotation problems are going to matter if we keep getting shut out through the first 6-7 innings night after night.

HahnSolo May 03 2018 12:54 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

A double to the opposing pitcher with 2 outs? Followed by a HR? You can hear a pin drop at Citi.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 12:55 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Time to stretch... [youtube:ltwvw6bx]iUODdPpnxcA[/youtube:ltwvw6bx]

MFS62 May 03 2018 01:12 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Please scratch me off the IGT list. Yikes! Later

Frayed Knot May 03 2018 01:12 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

At the moment I don't hold out much hope for scoring 7 runs over the next week much less in the next two innings.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 01:14 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Quickly turning into a rout... 7-sniffle after 8 1/2.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 01:34 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Mets shut out for the first time this season. Goodbye first place, we hardly knew ya. Gay matinee tomorrow.

MFS62 May 03 2018 01:46 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

The last time I saw a pitcher named Newcomb(e) win a game, he was wearing a Brooklyn uniform. Sigh. Later

Ashie62 May 03 2018 02:05 AM Re: IGT May 2 Braves VS Mets

Hoping our season didn't go down the toilet night
