Man, that 7-8-9. Welcome back, Ruby. This is #BIGGAME. Can't have the momentum of a 15-1 run zapped by a 3-game losing streak and a drop in the WC standings with McNeil out for a spell. LFGM

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 02:37 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

That's why last night was a Big Game. Can't be risking a 3-game losing streak with Matzy in the way, scary stuff.

Vic Sage Aug 14 2019 02:39 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Tejada is back? really? i didn't like him much the first time.

kcmets Aug 14 2019 06:26 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

First pitch en ~ cinco minutos

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 07:06 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Ron just called Matzy "such a competitor" in the same half inning that he called him "fragile" and insinuated that he struggles with confidence.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 07:09 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

That lousy feed from Rosario on the potential double-play ball put Tejada with his back to the runner and must've given him flashbacks.

SNY featured (uncredited) the “Mets Fantazy” cards created by our man Zvon in flashing back to the Mets-Braves playoffs of 1969. https://metsfantasycards.blogspot.com/2013/10/1969-playoffs-game-three-mets-nl-east.html

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 07:36 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

That's fantastic. I hope he got some change for it. The organist just played "Fly Me to the Moon" as walkup music for Frazier. Is that simply a reference to being from New Jersey?

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 07:53 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Is there a time stamp on when the cards appeared? If the point of the game was the two-out bases-empty single, the Mets would be running away with this one.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 07:53 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Gary 🍎 sucks. He calls every play after you've seen it, and nothing as it happens. He's causing us to suck.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 07:57 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

He also isn't much for identifying which pitch the pitcher just used.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:05 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

OK, first and second with nobetty out here in the top o' the sixth.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:13 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Keuchel's coming in more this inning. Frazier should get a big swing or two.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:15 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

I am chagrined.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 08:15 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Frazier has an ugly swing and appears not ever to know where he's about to hit it.

bmfc1 Aug 14 2019 08:18 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Gary Apple and I have different definitions of "unbelievable".

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Frazier has an ugly swing and appears not ever to know where he's about to hit it. Yeah, and with Atlanta piling lefty on lefty on the Mets here, it would be nice to see Alonso/Davis/Frazier turn on something. Rosario, too.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:33 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Shmets take the lead on a flarey flare! Let's get a win for Matz who has busted his tail this evening.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 08:34 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Thanks Braves for the stupid pitching change and dumbass throw to 3rd

G-Fafif Aug 14 2019 08:36 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Gary Apple all over this bullpen trend that's sweeping baseball.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Thanks Braves for the stupid pitching change and dumbass throw to 3rd I think the outfielder was thinking that pitchers don't take the extra base, but Matz is hanging fire tonight.

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 08:45 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

And now a premature pulling of Matz is looking like it might coincide with a rare off night by Lugo ... which would be a return to bullpen practices of earlier in the year.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 08:47 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Uh we need a triple play

41Forever Aug 14 2019 08:49 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Nooooooo

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 08:51 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

That's at least the fourth time in maybe the last ten days that Alonso has strayed too far for a grounder that was easily field-able by the 2nd b-man

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:52 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Misery kicks in. Why bat Matz if you're going to hook him?

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 08:56 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

And now to the top four in their order, all four of whom are hitting like .700 over the last month or so.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 08:57 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Jesus what a bedshit.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 08:57 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Lugo may not have been the best idea here.

G-Fafif Aug 14 2019 09:00 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

That was some head-meets-ass managing right there.

bmfc1 Aug 14 2019 09:01 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Mickey will give us some crap like "Steven got tired running the bases".

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:02 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Every one of these hits is coming with 2 strikes

Like the FHaMs, only with Alonso popping out instead of hitting dingers!

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:04 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Mickey will give us some crap like "Steven got tired running the bases". I suspect he had already decided to pull him after the final three outs he got were all bullets right at OF'ers, but then allowed him to hit anyway because, well why not?, he swings as well as anyone left on the bench.

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:11 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

But at least we're putting up a good fight against the bullpen

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:16 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Oh good, another leadoff batter on!!!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:33 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Tying run to bat, amazinly

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:36 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Looie looie looie lou-ee-ee

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:39 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Probably on the transfer

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:40 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Mick challenges anyway, figuring he wasn't lucky enough to have this play end the game as it should have

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:41 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Oh wow, Guillorme is safe. Bases loaded 1 out. We didn't deserve this

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:42 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Pretty sure Ramos will DP here

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:44 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Oh, whiffs. Up to Conforto and he's had a rough night. Will bring in Blevins

LWFS Aug 14 2019 09:46 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Now THAT'S a plot development.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:46 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Let's go Mike

Gwreck Aug 14 2019 09:46 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Most years, eh, Conforto strikes out. But this season? I could see a 3 run double here.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:47 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Last strike

LWFS Aug 14 2019 09:47 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

YOU OWE US HERE, AGENT BLEVINS

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2019 09:48 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Ah, fuck. Conforto is worthless vs. lhp

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:49 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Conforto OWES Schaefer for this game.

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2019 09:54 PM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Wound up out-hitting them 12-8 AND played better defense, but six of the Braves eight hits hits came not only consecutively but also with RiSP. We, meanwhile, left 212 runners on base. OK actually only 10, but still, they left only 5 while we were 3-fer-11 w/RiSP to their 6/12

Fman99 Aug 15 2019 04:22 AM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Sucky. Caught an inning or two early but wasn't getting the good hope that the bats were going to wake up. We did watch the Ruben-less AAA Mets win 5-4, though, so there's that.

ashie62 Aug 15 2019 06:08 AM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Just saw this. Would have thought Matz would spit the bit before Lugo. This team is beyond frustrating

Edgy MD Aug 15 2019 06:38 AM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Lets raise a glass to Matz, though, who was terrific and clearly wanted this.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 15 2019 06:48 AM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

I hate when Mickey makes up his mind about what he's going to do before the game starts. Sometimes winning a game means seat-of-the-pants decisions. Crazy stuff

bmfc1 Aug 15 2019 06:59 AM Re: IGT 08/14 - Los Mets a la Los Bravos - ¡Picar Esto!

Since defeating the Nationals on Saturday, WSH has won 4 in a row and picked up 3 1/2 games on the Mets who have lost 3 in a row. So much for momentum.
