Max Scherzer v Max Fried Tomorrow Peterson v Strider Wednesday Bassist v Morton These Braves starters are on fire and I don't give a crap. LGM,!

G-Fafif Jul 11 2022 12:52 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Batting ninth and playing second for the Braves: Robinson Cano.

ashie62 Jul 11 2022 12:53 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Bean him.

Ceetar Jul 11 2022 01:02 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

or maybe just, you know, pitch to him, not try to hurt him?

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 01:50 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Also, hit to him.

Ceetar Jul 11 2022 02:15 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

That seems bad strategy, if we're hitting it anywhere, to grass and over the fence seems preferable.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 02:19 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

I was hoping that wouldn't really be understood to be a literal suggestion. Max-on-Max action coming.

kcmets Jul 11 2022 02:22 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Looks a little limpy, but we'll see.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 02:25 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Yeah, jumping out at me are (a) a lot of lefties in a lineup going up against Fried, and (b) a sudden return to the five-hole for Eduardo Escobar after he's been dropping in the lineup for much of the season. I still haven't seen the transaction activating Jankowski, but the lineup is certainly tipping that one off. Watch the Mets Roster Central thread for more!

Frayed Knot Jul 11 2022 02:47 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

And still no Marte.

MFS62 Jul 11 2022 03:01 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

To follow up on Edgy's funny Roster Thread Buckingham(s) comment, but not Lindsay, that lineup looks like Kind of a Drag. Later

The may only need a run two to this one.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 05:42 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Hey, maybe Guillorme is hot again.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 05:45 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Fried is so fidgety, it doesn't feel like he ever comes to a stop.

Fman99 Jul 11 2022 05:46 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Late to the party and just figured out that I wasn't required to suffer through the inane FS1 crew because this game is on SNY also

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 05:47 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Gary is referencing The Bad News Bears and confusing Engelberg and Stein. This is damaging your legacy, Gary.

RBI dubble!! Pricks the Braves' bubble!!

soupcan Jul 11 2022 06:09 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

How often do the Braves wear these gold-trimmed ‘champions' uniforms? Are these their standard home unis for this season? Are they an alternate option? Is it a gamesmanship thing to decide to wear them in this series?

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:10 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

My eyeball judgment said Pete was out on that flare, but he just got into third safely.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:15 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Waddayaknow? The hit-it-to-Canó strategy kinda worked!

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:22 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Waddayaknow? The troll-the-Mets-with-Canó strategy kinda worked!

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:25 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Wow. Way to get Acuña on the black.

Frayed Knot Jul 11 2022 06:29 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

~4-1/2 innings worth of pitches for Fried to get thru 3 And now starts the 4th with a 4 pitch walk to the best base running threat.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:34 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Steal, Jankowski!

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:43 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Worth noting: 1. The Braves are coming off a long extra-inning game, so getting into their bullpen may prove crucial as the series progresses. 2. If Davis comes up against a righthanded batter in a key situation, maybe the Mets aren't tempted to pinch-hit Smith, the way he's going. But if they are tempted, they mostly can't, because Davis is effectively their only backup at three infield positions.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:49 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

We're at 91 pitches for Fried Flintstone with none out in the fifth.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 06:55 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

The hit-it-to-Canó strategy may have reached it's natural limits.

Lefty Specialist Jul 11 2022 07:01 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Max looking super-sharp with a low pitch count. Me likey.

Edgy MD wrote: The hit-it-to-Canó strategy may have reached it's natural limits. He got a bit lucky on that one. Meanwhile, barely over four innings worth of pitches for the good Max to get thru five IPs And we are now officially into their pen ... which may or may not be a good thing.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:03 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

More than a bit lucky. Braves go to the pen but stay lefthanded.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:14 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Acuña here getting the full count has been the Braves best plate appearance. And he pops to short center. Seventy-four pitches through six. Can't ask for better.

Lefty Specialist Jul 11 2022 07:15 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Can we just go straight from Max to Diaz?

Frayed Knot Jul 11 2022 07:18 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

We have had too many baserunners in this game to only have two runs. Need to tack on.

Lefty Specialist Jul 11 2022 07:26 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

I'd have to think he's on a 90-95 pitch limit tonight, and he's at 74 through 6.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Yeah, it's a one-batter-at-a-time thing. But at this point, each batter he gets out pretty much crosses another reliever off of the we-might-need-him list. I'd just like to cross a few off with our batters. Seven hits, five walks, and a hit batsman and two runs? That's the sort of think that makes me antsy.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Swanson hitting one to the wall in the gap also makes me antsy.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:31 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

And Riley takes a big chunk out of the margin for error.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

The war chant begins.

Lefty Specialist Jul 11 2022 07:33 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Well, Max is prone to giving up home runs. And with that Ozuna ball, perhaps he's running out of gas.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:34 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Got Ozuna with an inside fastball and an inside change to get ahead. Coming back in to him a third time was recklessness. I think we're on his last batter for certain.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:36 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Sweet ending, but that's probably it. Need three outs in the eighth, probably out of Otto. Let's get some runz!

Lefty Specialist Jul 11 2022 07:37 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Finishes with a flourish, but concerned about getting these next 6 outs.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:39 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

YEAH!!! I was about to question them bringing in O'Day with three of the next four hitters lefthanded, but Guillorme questioned it for me.

Frayed Knot Jul 11 2022 07:40 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:47 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Looked like Neato landed hard on the bag running to first there.

Gwreck Jul 11 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

SNY booth talking as if Diaz's availability is a mystery. This seems like an obvious answer. He threw 7 pitches in the 9th yesterday. If you weren't preserving his availability for today, you'd have pitched him in the 10th yesterday.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 07:56 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Acuña is up as the tying run. Do. Not. Like.

He bends but he does not break.

After that inning I need a couple of glasses of tart cherry juice.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT 7/11 Dueling Max Mets at Braves game

Pinch-running for Pete is the right move here. Inciarte can stay in the game in left, and Smitty can play first.
