IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2022 05:58 AM

It's almost tempting to think of this as Game 5 of a playoff series. It isn't of course (if it was we would already have advanced), there are still 50+ games remaining including seven more with the Braves, all at their place: 4 stating next Monday and then 3 more to end the season (critical or meaningless??) But in the meantime there's today's game: Jacob deGrom vs Spencer Strider The good thing about this being a home game is that, in addition to not having to listen to 'the chop' and that silly accompanying war chant, during Spenser Strider starts at home the fans in the stands--male, female, young, old--are wearing imitations of Strider's mustache, some are costume makeup, others are drawn on. I guess they think it gives them superpowers or something. Strider's one of those guys that the Braves seem to find regularly, one of not particularly blue-blood origin (4th round draft pick) but one they promoted aggressively and who immediately hits the MLB ground running. The only thing unusual is that he's not actually from Georgia but he was born in Ohio, then went to HS in Knoxville and college at Clemson so he's been getting closer to Atlanta all along. After being drafted in 2020 he was in the majors by 2021 and now is a front runner for RoY consideration, that is if his OF teammate (3rd round pick out of HS in 2019 and the youngest player in MLB, Michael Harris, who IS from Georgia) doesn't beat him out. 23 games pitched this year, 12 starts. He's 6-3, 2.79 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and strikes out a ridiculous amount of hitters: 133 in 87 innings We faced him on July 12 and sort of got to him in that he threw over 100 pitches and so couldn't finish the 5th. On the other hand we managed 5 hits plus 3 BBs but K'd 8 times and tallied just 1 run. We were then no-hit the remaining 4+ innings by the bullpen and lost 5-1. Jacob deGrom, in the other hand, is good.

Someone else is awake. Strider is definitely a Braves type pitcher. Jake is an HOF type pitcher. LGM!

Those games in October in Atlanta no longer end the season. There is a home series against Washington (moved from April due to lockout) that now ends the regular season. The good thing about this being a home game is that, in addition to not having to listen to 'the chop' and that silly accompanying war chant A large number of Mets fans were doing it on the 9th last night to mock the Braves. A little taunting is fun but wish they could find a non-racist way to do it.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 07 2022 06:42 AM Re: IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

The Mets are 7 and 4 against the Braves so far this year, with eight games remaining. If they win three of the eight, they'll clinch the season series, which would give the Mets the division title if the two teams finish with the same record. (This may become a factor in the Magic Number countdown -- currently at 49, by the way. Once the Mets have those three wins, the Magic Number will be reduced by one, because the Mets wouldn't need to win one game more than the Braves; their minimum goal would be to have the same victory total.)

Weird play there on Nimmo. I tried to type out what happened for those who aren't watching, but it took too many words. First and second now, one out, Buck is still angry despite "winning" the challenge.

Both Alonso and Vogle went down chasing 3-2 sliders out of the zone.

First and second now, one out, Buck is still angry despite "winning" the challenge. He didn't win; he just retained the challenge. Nimmo, running from first to second, was tagged with an empty glove. At that point, he would naturally stop running. So, for the umpires to then rule that the Braves would have been able to throw to first, and the back to second and still get Nimmo is, to put it precisely, total bullshit.

And they kick Strider to the curb after 2 2/3 innings. Braves look a little shell-shocked. And 4 runs for Jake feels like 10.

It's nice when the bases know that they've been run.

roger_that Aug 07 2022 03:53 PM Re: IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

Now they have to make this a non-typical deGrom outing--that is, get him to the fifth inning (ideally the seventh) with a lead that the bullpen doesn't blow.

The first two sliders Jake threw today were clocked at just under 96 MPH - the hardest thrown sliders ever clocked by Statcast.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2022 05:53 PM Re: IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

So with Jake being pulled when he was, who thought to themselves: 'Let's go with Joely for the next seven outs'? Sometimes I think Buck can intentionally make the elevator go up even by pushing the down button.

He also threw the fastest slider ever recorded. Twice. I guess all of that was also fluky.

There was a maybe four or five second shot of Strider cursing up a storm into his glove (at least I assume that's what he was doing) after one of those hits. That was maybe the best shot in the entire game.

^ Even Felix thinks that's funny! ^ ^ ^ It would have been great if there was a hot mic near Strider when he let loose a string of ranting following Pete's off-the-base double. Not that they could have put it on the air. Let's just say he wasn't pleased at the result.

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2022 07:34 PM Re: IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

I didn't realize until sometime today that this was a 19 strikeout game for the NYM staff! 12 of JdG's 17 recorded outs were K's So were 4 of Joely's 7, and all 3 outs notched by Diaz Wowzers! And maybe Strider Spencer (or whatever his name is) can figure out why one club managed to get the lion's share if the soft hits. That in order to get soft contact you first have to have, y'know, contact.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 09 2022 09:48 AM Re: IGT - Braves @ Mets - 8/7/22

Like everybody else, I thought deGrom was losing stamina at the end of his last start. He seemed to struggle to retire the last out he recorded, needing close to 10 pitches to finally strikeout that batter before he he then gave up a walk and a HR. Bur deGrom said he felt fine at the end and wasn't running out of gas. Jake attributed the walk and HR allowed to mental mistakes he made.

well we make mental mistakes when we're tired - he hasn't had to do what he did for over a year. Concentration takes stamina - it's no surprise that he started to get perfect.
