IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

G-Fafif Sep 18 2020 07:40 AM

The newly resurgent Mets — the BEST 23-27 team in baseball (as well as the only) — welcome the first-place Atlanta Braves into Citi Field for the beginning of a three-game showdown that could determine absolutely nothing, but at least there won't be any small cadres of Braves fans on hand. Normally their presence, perhaps a TBS legacy, is quietly vexing. (You know what you hardly ever see outside of San Diego? Cadres of Padres.) The polar opposite pitching matchup: Max Fried (6-0; 1.98 ERA) vs Steven Matz (0-4; 8.63 ERA). Matzie will be motivated to show fellow his Steven, Cohen, that he's as reliable as any overpriced piece of metal in his collection. Or will it be Steven's last night in town? https://youtu.be/MrL-g-lkOCA

If the Mets can sweep this series, they're right back in it. But I have no expectation that that is going to happen. Surprise me, Mets!

Quick, someone tell Fried that he shouldn't pitch on Rosh Hashana against the Mets. It would be preferable to shutout a different team on Monday.

God'll punish him. Or maybe Robinson Canó will. The polar bear hibernates tonight. But Rosario returns.

Ronnie and Keith continually make excuses for these incompetent umps but if they could do their jobs better we wouldn't need replay after replay.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 18 2020 05:26 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Matzo is back, just as we remember him. Eddie C on the radio. Long night ahead

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 18 2020 05:33 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Alonso sits vs the lefty? Odd

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2020 05:34 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

So I'll say this for Matz ... he had a better first inning than Lugo.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2020 05:38 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Matz = 30 pitches Fried = 11

kcmets Sep 18 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Hopefully Steven's last night in town.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Well at least our bullpen is well rested ...oh wait!!

Should I shoot him now or wait 'til later? Shoot him now! Shoot him now!

ashie62 Sep 18 2020 06:06 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Is Rojas on crack? Why is Matz in. WTF.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2020 06:45 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

I'm guessing it's not crack. Kilo's now working on fumes, too.

kcmets Sep 18 2020 06:52 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Mets suck down 12-sniffle midway through four, do you know where your children are?

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2020 06:56 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Does everyone who the Braves pick up on a one year deal go on to have a crazy good year, or is it only 97% of them?

Luke Jackson doing a good job with the western renegade look.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2020 08:33 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

Keith is wrong. Biff Pocaroba wasn't a lefthanded hitter. He was a switch hitter.

Fman99 Sep 18 2020 08:36 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

This game has been kind of a bummer

it's baseball card theater in the booth as the game itself is beyond out of hand. Gary, Keith and Ron are pulling Braves baseball cards and adding commentary on whatever Brave player they happen to be pulling. So why does Gary, who did not play MLB, have better stories than Keith or Ron?

Todd Frazier on the mound. Show us J.D. Davis!!

The real WIlliams Met-connection story (that Gary left out) is that Braves Earl Williams and Mets Jerry Grote were almost added in to the big swap that included Felix Millan, George Stone, Danny Frisella and Gary Gentry.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 18 2020 10:08 PM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

I'm starting to lose faith in Steven Matz.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2020 07:18 AM Re: IGT 9/18/2020: ATL @ NYM — Steven’s Next Night in Town

I'm curious as to see what kind of PotG support Frazier's pitching garners.

Ron even remarked on how much he loved the card design.
