Have I mentioned that I hate the 7:30 starts? I can't even make it to the end of the home games that start 30 minutes earlier. Georgia really can eat a UHaul truck full of dicks.

MFS62 Jul 01 2021 08:54 AM Re: IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

I once read that Walter Johnson never threw inside to a batter because he was afraid of hurting them. Jacob DeGrom throws 102 MPH. I hope he takes a more Bob Gibson approach tonight when some of those Braves hitters dig in and look comfortable up there. And if he should happen to hit one of them he can blame it on the new "clean baseball" rule. Later

Edgy MD Jul 01 2021 09:39 AM Re: IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

Yeah, I'm not going to root for throwing at batters. And blaming such a thing on stronger enforcement of a rule (which isn't new) is just a tacit admission that he's been violating it all along, and his teammates that aggressively spoke up for him two weeks ago are flat-out liars.

aka: same lineup as always for the Braves OK they've lost Td'A and Ozuna, and kind of went into the season with TBD in CF. But Freddie has played every game (and has for years), so has Albies, Swanson, and Riley, while Acuna missed about six games back in April. And I'm still not convinced that they're not going to talk Markakis out of retirement for the stretch drive where he'll dust off his uni and play the final 40 games in a row while also hitting better than he did in his 20's with Baltimore. I sometimes wonder what color the sky is in a world where consistency like that is the norm rather than a pipe dream

Fman99 Jul 01 2021 05:14 PM Re: IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

Conforto was a spray hitter when he first came up. Now he pulls it into the shift most times, and hasn't had a home run in a dog's age.

Weak grounder (single) Weak grounder (force) Walk Weak grounder (3U) Grounder (w/2 RiSP -- inning over) All of which qualifies as a run scoring threat for this team. The only consolation is that if any of those grounders had been hit harder the inning would have ended with a GiDP a few batters earlier.

bmfc1 Jul 01 2021 07:38 PM Re: IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

Not even a hard-hit ball by Conforto or Pete. "Mets hitters" is an oxymoron.

The real screwup was getting to 0-2 on Enciarte and pitching afraid.

The rest of the inning was a series of bad breaks, but Loogie just didn't seem to have gone over the book on Enciarte.

It wouldn't have been an easy play -- he would have had to change directions and hustle over there -- but it was his only play. Meanwhile, we got beat by three balls that never got past the pitchers mound.

bmfc1 Jul 01 2021 08:55 PM Re: IGT 7/1/21 - NYM@Braves: Fortune Does Not Favor the Braves

Yes, he had no play at first so third was the only option (even if it would have been futile). [TWEET]https://twitter.com/joe_sheehan/status/1410792462319296516[/TWEET]

Other relevant question is whether Lindor gets to that ball if it doesn't rebound off of Lugo. I think he probably does, but again, he'd have a tough play to make, and no option at second. Breaks.

That inning is on Lugo. Never should have attempted the throw to first against the leadoff hitter. Then, he has to get Enciarte after having him down 0-2. Umps didn't help any Mets RP last night either.

The NY Post article on the game: https://nypost.com/2021/07/02/jacob-degrom-different-pitcher-after-glove-throwing-tantrum/ But this part got me thinking. “I was really frustrated,” deGrom said, referencing between-innings conversations with catcher James McCann and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner. “I said to James, ‘How did he hit that?' I felt like I made my pitch and he was able to get a bat to it and hit it over the fence. I've got to tip my cap to him.” I recalled many post game interviews with Tom Seaver after he had given up a home run. He would talk about his mechanics failing him, or bad location or something he did or didn't do. But I don't think I ever heard him give credit to the batter for hitting a good pitch. (And if he did, it was few and far between) And maybe that's why I like Jake more than I liked Tommy Terrific. He's a mensch. Later Mods - if you feel this is more appropriate to the Jacob DeGrom thread, please move it there.

Tom Seaver credited batters plenty.
