Leadoff single by Reyes squandered in the first. Kaz pops up, Beltran Ks, Delgado flies out.

Larry down, Andruw to go

Hell with that righty/lefty crap. Braves score first with 3 hits in a row off Trax.

Tracshel's getting squeezed badly by this ump.

ow. What a catch to rob Matsui.

Beltran.

Beltran gets 2 back.

fantastic blast by Beltran.

If that had happened at Shea, the entire stadium, including the security guards, would have charged the mound. (No, I don't think it was purposeful.)

Zvon Apr 30 2006 02:04 PM

DAMN! Did you guys flinch like I did? That was scary.

BIG hit by Floyd. Delgado was joggin in from third and luckily the throw is waaaaay off. Mets tie it

metsmarathon Apr 30 2006 02:07 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 30 2006 02:09 PM

i see no reason to get into a beanball war... was that even a fastball, or was it just a breaking ball that missed badly? edit: never mind. 90 mph fastball. still, i dont think he was going for head there...

Elster88 Apr 30 2006 02:08 PM

Rough inning for Davies. The two outs so far were Trachsel and a shot by Matsui.

OlerudOwned Apr 30 2006 02:09 PM

Remembered there was a game on just in time to see Floyd tie it up. It's nice to miss the part where Trachs allows 3 runs.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 02:15 PM

fuckshit. why is the infield in in the 3rd inning?? not matsui's fault that the coaching staff positioned him poorly. furcal hits one off delgado's glove, no E? 2 on now this aint good.

Mets let the Braves answer right back---but that inning coulda been worse.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 02:21 PM

Davies drills one to Chavez i thought they'd score 2 for sure... it might be time to have Oliver/Julio up in the pen, i know its early but Traschel just doesnt have it today and i'd have him on a very short leash the rest of the way.

They are gonna try to squeeze Tachsel for 6, Id be pretty sure. This has become far from a must win game for the Mets. Willie will rest the pen here as long as he possibly can. Trax walks! Reyes walks! walks kill...

Edgy DC Apr 30 2006 02:29 PM

No way we let these guys win in 1976 Cleveland Indians jerseys. You've won 14 stragiht division titles. Dress like major-leaguers for Pete's sake.

Zvon Apr 30 2006 02:32 PM

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Beltran looks at a fat one for strike 3.

Zvon Apr 30 2006 02:35 PM

What a play by Wright. WOW.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 02:37 PM

nice stop and a good hard throw. sorry Francessa, he's alot better than you give him credit for, but hey your team uses it's best SS at another position, so what do you know? walks suck and Renteria is walked for the Joneses.

duan Apr 30 2006 02:37 PM

seriously Traschel's strike zone is A LOT smaller then Davis'

The Big O Apr 30 2006 02:43 PM

"National League pitchers don't stand a chance!" gush the Braves announce-os about Andruw. Then he gets jammed for an IF fly by a Steve Trachsel fastball.

Zvon Apr 30 2006 02:45 PM

Trachsel makes way for Oliver after loading the bases on walks, which kill as errors also do.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2006 02:46 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 30 2006 02:48 PM

Time to pick a bull from the pen, Willie. Pick the right one.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 02:46 PM

Traschel walks LaRoche thanks to a postage-stamp strike zone that doesnt seem to be there when Davies is pitching... pitching change with the bases loaded. i hate bringing guys into bases loaded situations, either bring them in with 2 men on or let the starter finish what he started for better or worse.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2006 02:47 PM

Bases loaded, righthanded batter, I'd go to Brad Chadford here. Willie says Oliver.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 02:48 PM

2-run single for Francoeur. fuck.

Sweepin curveball gets Oliver out of it- but the damage is done. Mets down 6-3. We need some major battage to get back into it-

Zvon Apr 30 2006 02:55 PM

Delgado really turned on that pitch and ripped it. OMG! that was no strike to Wright!

Zvon Apr 30 2006 03:04 PM

That Betemits a big dude for a shortstop. Beltran with a nice snag of that fly. I predict Castros gonna be big if the Mets are gonna come back. And he leads off-good.

Valentin executes the baserunning play that ended the Mientkiewicz era.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHH Reyes accounts for all 3 times the Mets have been thrown out this year so far.

Nymr83 Apr 30 2006 03:14 PM

Reyes CS, i'm ok with trying it with 2 outs and a guy who is unlikely to tie it with one swing at the plate. i'd have been very pissed if he ended an inning like that with Beltran, Delagado, or Wright up.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2006 03:47 PM

I can live with that outing by Julio. He got yanked for two but he recovered and fanned a couple. Not that I'm looking for a 9.00 ERA, but I'm hoping adjusting to adversity is the key.
