Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 08:12 AM

The /pukes/ world champion Atlanta Braves visit the Apple tonight as Max Fried (2-2, 3.00) opposes Chis Bassitt (3-1, 2.25). Ronald Acuna is back but the Braves are just 10-13, having lost 2 of 3 over the weekend to the Rangers. Matt Olson replaces Freddie Freeman and is off to a good start but I'm just not as scared of him. Our pals Travis d'Arnaud and Guillermo Heredia will be there, as will Darren O'Day and Colin HcHugh. Sticking with the Beeges, who served this forthcoming 17-game winning streak well in its first day. [YOUTUBE]-ihs-vT9T3Q[/YOUTUBE]

Smith gets out of bed and removes his apnia mask, having (a) finally gotten two starts in a row, (b) just collected four hits and 3 RBI in his last game, and (c) hearing that the biggest impediment to his playing time is gone. Then he arrives at the park and learns he's not in the lineup. Tough day for a lefty.

Frayed Knot May 02 2022 01:49 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

On the other hand, he also wasn't optioned to the minors whilst he slept either, something which was considered a possibility around the time he was putting the mask on.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 02:03 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that he's at least going to be a regular against righties going forward. Just a coinkydink that they drew a lefty today. I remember Ralph Kiner being flabbergasted seeing Wally Backman not in the lineup a day after he went 6-for-6. Apparently, they had platoons in Ralph's day, but the hot hand was the hot hand. And not a lot of platoon players had splits quite like Wally.

Is Keith Hernandez sick? Or on vacation? He's been gone for more than a week, it seems.

Nice Marte run there.

Frayed Knot May 02 2022 06:42 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Bad call on what should have been strike 3 to Swanson in the 5th winds up costing Bassitt around a dozen extra pitches despite no actual damage on the scoreboard.

Frayed Knot May 02 2022 06:44 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Nice leadoff 'hitting' by McSquirrel

Edgy MD May 02 2022 06:52 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Fried has, like, no ass. Like, Jerry Blevens could throw an elbow at Jacob deGrom and say, "Look at that guy! Where's his ass?!" He might even have negative ass.

kcmets May 02 2022 06:55 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Slow IGT -- Canha just whiffed but CanhaBOOMED earlier.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 06:57 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Those extra pitches Bassitt hadda throw after he was robbed of the strikeout vs. Swanson each felt like four pitches.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:03 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

I don't get how the booth represents a guy hitting against the shift or bunting for a hit as something like a stolen hit that a player in a slump will do because he can't get something like a legitimate hit. That's just good baseball. Hit away from the shift all day.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:04 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

And now the game is tied with two in scoring position because of dudes going the other way against the shifty.

roger_that May 02 2022 07:15 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Is it too old-school to cry "Hit 'em where they ain't!"?

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:15 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Bassitt, down 3-2, coming out for the seventh.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:22 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Bassitt's curve is working great, but he tried to double up with it against Acuña and that's probably not a good plan. But somehow Nimzo tracked it down. Somehow.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 07:30 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Yeah. Great catch by Zimmo

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:36 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Matzek has really eaten up every hitter he's faced, lefty or righty, but he's lost his control.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 07:36 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

So McHugh coming in with 2 outs, bases loaded to face Canha.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 07:36 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Do the Mets counter with Dom?

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:41 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Steal home, Jeff!

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:42 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Ah, McHugh! It's like you've forgotten who raised you!!

Centerfield May 02 2022 07:43 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Fucking blue balls inning.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:45 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

The Nike swoosh on the Braves uniform looks like a stylized accent mark over the A in "Atlanta."

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:46 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

=Centerfield post_id=91123 time=1651542224 user_id=65] Fucking blue balls inning.

Kind of want to go back in time and pinch-hit Smith for Canha.



There's probably some sort of stupid rule against that, though.

nymr83 May 02 2022 07:49 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Alonso says "get out of my way shorty!"

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:52 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Alonso can make up for that ballhoggery with the bat in the bottom half of the inning.

Frayed Knot May 02 2022 07:52 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

How many shit hits are the Braves going to get tonight?

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 07:55 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

May is absolute 💩

Edgy MD May 02 2022 07:56 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

May is aiming the ball.

It's amazing to hear d'Arnaud's swing described as "short and quick to the ball."

Fman99 May 02 2022 07:58 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Trevor May Suck

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 08:02 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

May needs the Steve Traschel Treatment, 2 weeks in AAA figuring out why he was a major leaguer

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:02 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

McHugh, d'Arnaud, and now Guillermo Heredia. The Braves are determined to beat the Mets with Mets tonight.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:05 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

The Braves are also determined to beat the Mets with a brigade of lefthanders.

kcmets May 02 2022 08:05 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Alonso's bat is lookin' slowwww...

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:06 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

How did Shmescobar not beat that one out?

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:19 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Woulda pinch-hit for JD this time also.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:22 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Good time for McNoolie to get bunty again.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:28 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Well, KJ is throwing a lot of pitches.

Edgy MD May 02 2022 08:31 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Mets 0-2 without Showalter. FIRE DICK SCOTT!!

Johnny Lunchbucket May 02 2022 09:23 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

That was a shit game

Frayed Knot May 02 2022 09:31 PM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Yup. We got four games inside 48 hours with these dudes (Tuesday x 2 plus Wed afternoon) and they better not all go like this otherwise we'll wind up blowing a great month in less than two days time.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2022 07:17 AM Re: Monday Night Fever: ATL@NYM IGT 5/2

Yeah, gotta flush this one away and be on point for this DH. Not excited about a Carrasco/Peterson duo but you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope they have their hitting shoes on today.
