IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 04:25 PM

It's been so long since we won a game following an IGT that I started (I'm think maybe 2015 but there may be one or two more recent ones that I'm failing to recall) that I almost forgot it was my job to do so for Game 2 tonight. Good to see that the Mad Max franchise is now branching out to include sports contests (because there's already too much originality coming out of Hollywood) Max Fried [10-3; 2.58 ERA, 1.073 WHIP; 122 K; 21 starts] vs Max Scherzer [7-2; 2.13 ERA; 0.925 WHIP; 109 K; 14 starts] 7:10 PM EDT, or whenever they can herd all the first game peeps out of there (including the ones hiding under seats trying to invent their own 2-fer-1 deal) and get the new crew in.

Might be a ruf game at 1B.

Actually able to watch this one

ashie62 Aug 06 2022 05:35 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Max could throw a no no. Mets vision in Pa.

Fman99 Aug 06 2022 05:41 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Max Fried looks like the elementary school teacher that everyone is suspicious of.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 06:01 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Big at bat for Pete. He comes through with a single to drive in the first run of the game.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 06:01 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Bases loaded for Ruf.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 06:06 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Fried might be feeling a bit Vizzy after that face-plant.

Fman99 Aug 06 2022 06:06 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

I like this team's ability to capitalize on other teams' fuck ups

Fman99 Aug 06 2022 06:17 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Also, while I'm thinking of it, as I do for every WPIX game, fuck the WPIX games. Took me ten minute of clicking on super dubious links just to find a pirate stream of this one.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 06:31 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Shyeeet, that was a gutsy call by Guillorme!

Methead Aug 06 2022 06:32 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Have I told you lately that I love Guillorme?

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 06:41 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Great, heads up play by Guillorme. It would never have been possible if d"Arnaut would have broke hard as soon as he saw the ball was on the ground. Better baserunning by d'Arnaud and Guillorme would have had to take the easy out at first since Harris was stealing second. Still, Guillorme had the presence of mind to make a risky, phenomenal, play.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 06:58 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

The best part was him reading the whole thing perfectly. He instantly realized he couldn't go for two, then quickly read TdA's bad break, all the time knowing that he had the bail out option at 1B. But what he didn't do was commit to going home ahead of time.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:03 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Ruf just brings out the worst in the Brave's defense.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:03 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Apparently it's national 'Throw Past 1B' day.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:10 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Wow!! Did that look 'clear and convincing' to anyone?

Chad ochoseis Aug 06 2022 07:11 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

I'm watching on GameDay, and Pete definitely looked safe to me.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:11 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Wow, the Mets get the call on the review. Even on the replay, I'm not sure Pete ever touched the plate (it was very close). Great effort by both Riley and d'Arnaud, but it' an insurance run to the Mets.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:12 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:14 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Suxx to leave several potential runs out there ... but we didn't hit a single ball well that whole inning so we kinda were lucky just to get the one R.

Lefty Specialist Aug 06 2022 07:22 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Very few things are worth $43 million. Max Scherzer is one of those things.

roger_that Aug 06 2022 07:25 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Nimmo pads his HBP record, leading off the 7th

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Scherzer is a warrior. What a brilliant performance in a crucial game. Max throws a season high 108 pitches and records 11 strike outs. Be interesting to see who Buck entrusts to finish this game.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:29 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Good spot for the SB. You're ahead, push the issue.

seawolf17 Aug 06 2022 07:44 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

I think I'm already over the Mychal Givens Experiment.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:44 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

I'm not comfortable with Givens out there. After a week ground out for the 1st out, back to back doubles plate the Braves 1st run.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:46 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Gotta get somebody up besides Joely, no?

=seawolf17 post_id=102717 time=1659836673 user_id=91] I think I'm already over the Mychal Givens Experiment.

Two things can be true at the same time:

Billy improved the team at the trading deadline.

Billy did not do enough to improve the bullpen.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:47 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Escobar has been erratic as a hitter, but his defense at third has been solid all year long.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:49 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Whew, Givens somehow gets out of it without further damage.

Fman99 Aug 06 2022 07:50 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

That was some nice glove work there by Escobar to play that in between hop.

roger_that Aug 06 2022 07:50 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

I was gonna say "Givens with a chance to lower his Met ERA," but maybe not.

seawolf17 Aug 06 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

And I was okay with the Givens pickup at the time, because hey, better than nothing, maybe? But maybe not. If the season ends today, he's not on the postseason roster.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Lead off double by Escobar set the stage for the Mets in the 8th.

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 07:56 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Naquin with a big pinch hit single to drive in Escobar. Feeling better now.

seawolf17 Aug 06 2022 07:56 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

The Tyler Naquin Experiment, however? ALL IN, BABY.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:57 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

And just like that they claw back the Givens run.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2022 07:58 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

The Naquin Experiment was one of Robert Ludlum's lesser known efforts.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2022 07:59 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

This has been a heck of a day for Alonso, long as it has been.

kcmets Aug 06 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

When was the last time the Mets ran a suicide squeeze!!

The Hot Corner Aug 06 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

Stephens fails to pay attention to Naquin so he steals second without a throw. Guillorme moves him to third and NIdo drives him in with a squeeze bunt.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT, Braves @ Mets, 5/6/22, Game 2 of D/N DH

You can squeeze me all night.

NIDO!

May is bringing the heat (69-97 with his fastball) thus far. One out to go.

Mock tomahawk chop is a bad idea.
