IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Edgy MD Jul 28 2021 08:25 PM

The Mets and Braves lock up at 12:10 PM, as much of the league will be playing in the daytime to clear the evening for management to wrestle with the big decisions. Hold 'em or fold 'em. This evening's win for the Mets means the series will be neither a wipeout of the Braves forcing them to sell off nor the four-out-of-five surge that they might have hoped would really put the heat on. They may well end up standing pat, but Drew Smyly (Atlanta has a lot of skinny pitchers these days) and Taijuan Walker will help settle that bill before all is said and done.

I didnt even know what position Drury played until I read today's lineup.

And I thought it was a lunch special. Lotta clouds around.

Opposite field baby.

ashie62 Jul 29 2021 10:34 AM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Two runners left on base. POOP.

Taiwan Walker looks good so far, nice.

If you're down by two, with two runners on base, and your pitcher can't swing the bat, pinch hit for him.

Because of the early start time, I keep thinking this is a seven-inning game.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2021 11:57 AM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Smyly gets sent to the showers in true Alonsonian fashion.

So what's going on in the game? Seo, Kase, CookieMom, and I are at the game, but we've been gabbing and not watching.

Gary is close. Jaster had five shutouts in 1966, all against Los Angeles.

Not sure why they're running Familia back out today. Lugo threw only three pitches yesterday.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2021 12:44 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

A real stinker of a day today for Davis.

G-Fafif Jul 29 2021 12:51 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Zvon's 1970 NLCS highlight cards were just used by SNY as their pre-9th inning bumper.

Chad ochoseis Jul 29 2021 12:51 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Frantically googling #71 Mets. This freaking season...

Chad ochoseis Jul 29 2021 12:54 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

GO #71! #71 RULES!!!

ashie62 Jul 29 2021 12:58 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Rally.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2021 12:59 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Ninth-inning it, Mets! Do you look to the righthanded Nido to bat in the pitcher's spot or the hit-machine McNeil?

Edgy MD Jul 29 2021 01:04 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Let's go Walkman!

Edgy MD Jul 29 2021 01:05 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

Damn. Terrific job by Smith pitching to Nim.

I was puzzled as to why he didn't bat. Though he may have PHed and I missed it. As noted, this was more a shoot-the-shit day at the ballpark than a watch-the-game day.

Chad ochoseis Jul 29 2021 01:19 PM Re: IGT 7/29/21 -- ATL @ NYM, Trade Deadline Special

And, uh, Guillorme bats lefty. Duh.
