Annoying Braves sign annoying catcher Francisco Cervelli.

Just settling in and 4-sniffle already. Wheeler becoming more and more

unreliable? Ugly MLB gimmick unis I guess all weekend.

Mets may need to pull this out and win tomorrow to have a real shot of playing in October

It's still looks like a team of cricketers taking on a team of umps.

I can't see how this kooky look is all about the "players."

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

What an innovative marketing department (iow: not ours) could have lined up for this weekend is mixing in songs with Black and/or White in them between innings.

You can go with PAINT IT BLACK when the visiting team comes to bat, then counter with KNIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN in the bottom half.

WHITE WEDDING, BLACK AND WHITE, EBONY AND IVORY, etc

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

The weird thing about this series is that, for the most part, they've kept Freddie and Acuna off the bases but instead are being burned by a bunch of guys (Hamilton, Hechavarria, Cervelli) who

weren't even Braves until just a few days ago, or, in Cervelli's case, just a few hours ago.

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

- bad call to bunt

- bad decision to run

- and probably a bad call to challenge although any close play is almost an automatic these days

Are there any other ways for the Mets to give up outs on the bases this half-inning?

Yeah, let's have an inning where the pitcher gets off with a goose egg despite retiring just a single batter!!!

Agreed. Mickey always challenges when the runner tells him to and it's almost always wrong. Joel Sherman wrote today that Mickey could win Manager of the Year and he also could get fired. I'll take both.

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

That half-inning would have been embarrassing in spring training. To happen in a big game like this should have embarrassed Brodie.

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

The problem is that just enough of these 'eyelash' plays get overturned (despite promises that only the obvious ones would) that managers get a 'what the hell, it might work' attitude, particularly

late in games. The Yanx got a force play overturned today in the 9th (it loaded the bases w/1 out in a tie game ... they lost anyway) that I saw from at least six angles and STILL couldn't tell but

apparently the umps could. If I were in the 'NY bunker' I wouldn't overturn anything that wasn't super obvious which would revery the replay challenge to how it was originally intended to be used.

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

Brach almost got out of the inning

McNeil almost caught that liner

the ump almost rung up Billy Hamilton out on a pitch clearly in the zone

and Davis almost participated in a play where the ball was hit to him

Maybe Brodie should have stopped patting himself on the back and made an effort to get Hamilton.

He hasn't been THAT bad, that would be impossible, but the Mets said that Regan "fixed" Brach in a half-hour, or something like that. Obviously, they didn't but the Mets sometimes act as if they are the only smart ones. I'm sure that the Cubs tried to fix him, too.

I know that he's terrible and has been a big disappointment (to put it mildly) but don't boo the guy when he leaves the game after an injury.

1. Rosario is a lousy bunter.

2. Rosario had two hits already and was perfectly capable of hitting a grounder to the right side (which might have gone through).

3. McNeil still has a lot to learn.

4. The Mets have 10 coaches yet no one said: "uh Mickey, don't do it".

Re: IGT 08/24 - ATL @ NYM

When they signed Cervelli, I had a feeling he would be a pain in the ERA.

Unfortunately, I was right.
