IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

bmfc1 May 17 2021 09:06 PM Edited 6 time(s), most recently on May 18 2021 02:52 PM

The Mets go for two in a row against the Atlanta Braves. Game time is 7:20 so that gives SNY an extra 10 minutes to fill. The Mets will send Miguel Castro (RHP) against Tucker Davidson (LHP). Davidson is making his first start of the season. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-braves/2021/05/18/634107#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=634107 https://www.espn.com/mlb/preview?gameId=401227680 Weather: https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/weather.php Odds: Money Line: ATL-130 NYM +140 O/U: 8.5, LINE: Braves -1.5 Game Notes: Mets: Braves: https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/a6xlvpf8hy0hkyrolzds.pdf Lineups: METS: 1.

So, is Mookie Wilson available? He's well rested and not injured as far as I know....

Frayed Knot May 18 2021 09:42 AM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

We should have a poll to guess the two injuries of the day.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 10:06 AM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Well, Nido got three hits yesterday, but I was keeping an eye on him and his throwing hand seemed to be swelling a little.

Not to be confused with a GLAAD lesion which is an entirely separate injury.

bmfc1 May 18 2021 02:55 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

In tonight's lineup (above), there are only 2 players who were in the Opening Day lineup (remember that Pillar started over Dom); If you had Nido batting 5th on any date after March, you won! He had three hits last night which feel like the number that McCann has had all season.

Chad ochoseis May 18 2021 05:10 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

So is the lineup always going to be pitcher eighth, Johnchewy ninth as long as we're short outfielders?

Edgy MD May 18 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Relief pitchers are the Mets' secret offensive weapon. Johneshwy Fargas seemed to hit one as far as he could and the leftfielder didn't have to move.

Frayed Knot May 18 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Lindor hasn't hit a ball in a week as hard as Hunter's single right there.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 05:52 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Villar gets the same pitch and shows 'em how it's done.

Sheesh, I couldn't imagine how much laughing would hurt with a honker like Pillar has.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 05:56 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Where would this club be without the magnificent contribution of Jonathan "Fuck You, Muthafuckas" Villar?

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:06 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Acuña still loves yellow but left behind the bananashoes today.

Frayed Knot May 18 2021 06:25 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Imagine how good our pitching would be if we got even ONE borderline call so far tonight?

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 06:28 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Lee's got a nice speedy swing but you can see the distance between ball and bat when he uses it

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:46 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Truist Park organist played "Come and Go with Me" for Dominic Smith, and I thought, "Huh?" And then I thought, "Dom-Dom-Dom-Dom-Dom ... ."

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:51 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Alonso hitting a sac fly with a runner on third was more encouraging than most of his homers.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:56 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Freeman cuts the lead to one run and they need to find 12 more outs from this pitching staff.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:58 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Fortunately, Marcel Ozuna is hitting worse than Dom Smith so far.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 06:59 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Khalil Lee, The Prophet.

Very sparkly. Like a holiday.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 07:04 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

So, May is up this inning so he's gone. I figure the Mets are going to try to get three outs from Diaz, three from Loup, and three from ... Smith? Barnes? Jeurys?

Fman99 May 18 2021 07:15 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Loup looked good there that time through. As opposed to May, serving up hard hit balls all week.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 07:19 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Geez didn't even have time to start a Johneswhy Fargas Fan Club before Villar erased him

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 07:21 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Lindor needs to put that batting helmet in the dishwasher

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 07:27 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Here we go

Centerfield May 18 2021 07:27 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Why would you leave in Loup to face the righty?

Edgy MD May 18 2021 07:28 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

I'm not sure that I wouldn't use Diaz before Fammy here.

Trying to stretch what they've got while dealing with the three-batter minimum rule.

bmfc1 May 18 2021 07:34 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

They don't have a 2d left-handed reliever for Freeman... but couldn't use him anyway because of the 3-batter rule.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 07:34 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Time for Pete to step up and blast one.

I'll happily take one from Smitty also.

Let's see if we can get cheap broken bat RBI hits too

bmfc1 May 18 2021 07:48 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Is Truist Park's OF very bouncy or are the fences short? That's 2 ground-rule doubles.

bmfc1 May 18 2021 07:50 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Maybin for Lee, I guess. That was a wonderful catch but Lee looks overmatched.

Edgy MD May 18 2021 07:50 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Short fences in the corners. I'm not sure Khalil Lee has seen a strike all evening. Glad his glove showed up, though.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 18 2021 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Lee is a little challenged by big league pitching so far

The Hot Corner May 18 2021 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/18/2021, NYM @ ATL: #LFGM!

Green completely overmatched at the plate right now. Hopefully, Diaz can close this one out without much drama.

Certainly not too much to ask, but you can expect the lesser lights of the bullpen to be called upon.
