The Mets have hit K. Wright hard 2X this season. Max has pitched well against ATL 2 of 3 times.

Aaron Goldsmith is doing PBP for F*x instead of their #1 Joe Davis as the 4th week of the NFL is more important than the last week of the baseball season. John "I'm a dick, I think that I know everything and will talk all night to show you how smart I think I am, and I love the Braves" Smoltz is the color analyst.

Acuna treats running hard to 1st as optional.

Shut it down about halfway right there and did the same once last night.

That may have been the source of the reported friction between him and Freddie.

Does it sound to you like Smoltz is talking in Chinese sometimes? He keeps describing the pitchers' motions and such and I can't visualize what he's saying. It sounds like gibberish to me: "His release point is from behind his left ear, almost as if he's tunneling his way out of a mountain of coffee grounds, but then he pulls his toes out and it really confuses the lefthanded batters..." sort of thing.

Or maybe it's just that I don't speak Smoltz?

Normally a body in the "tits up" position would elicit more of a positive response from me than this lineup does

Tough to claim that we should have 8 runs with 8 singles scattered across 7 innings.

I'm not really sure how catchers get involved in rundowns between first and second, or pitchers between third and home.

Dat's not the way I was taught.

No point in the catcher staying around the plate in that situation, nobody's running there any time soon.

Acuna with some strange base (non) running which leads to an interesting double lay to end the inning.

Much like Vientos, he just isn't MLB ready quite yet.

As per the terrible Fox booth, the two of them combined line for yesterday and today is 11 2/3 IP, 14 H and 7 ER. There's no way that you'd say they held up their end.

Plus 5 HRs allowed lest we forget

If the walk or hit-by-pitch ain't happening Cahna, let's see you reach by bunt.

Let's not invest ourselves in swinging at compost in the ninth.

The Braves are going back to Jansen after 30-odd pitches last night. This is doable but, like the other night vs Miami, it's going to have to come out of nowhere.

Re: IGT 10/1/2022: NYM@ATL -- Welcome to Maxtober

Personally, I nevr called for any of them specifically be called up. For the most part Vientos seemed overmatched during his time. Alvarez appears overly eager. of the three, Baty appeared the most polished at the plate.

Re: IGT 10/1/2022: NYM@ATL -- Welcome to Maxtober

Jansen pitched a lot last night and is probably tired. Which means the Mets will probably hit three weak grounders on three pitches.

The Mets need to get Jansen. Well, not like that. Cahna strikes out a pitch right down the middle.

He's obviously appeared overmatched. That's clear.

But this comment overlooks the nuance. The Mets could (should?) have called up prospects months ago to see what they could do and get them acclimated. 6 games of utmost importance is not the right spot for a MLB debut (or at least not for someone counted on to be a key contributor).

Re: IGT 10/1/2022: NYM@ATL -- Welcome to Maxtober

I agree. They could have done this for the OAK games when they faced 3 LHPs but they were more concerned with giving Ruf every chance to succeed. If Ruf had gotten a few hits we wouldn't be having this conversation but he didn't and yet they didn't call up Alvarez for the MIA series. As a result, they are giving Alvarez his first ML ABs in the biggest games of the season. That's not on Alvarez, that's on management which gave (away) ABs to Nido and McCann all season long. ATL didn't call up Harris yesterday they called him up months ago.

Re: IGT 10/1/2022: NYM@ATL -- Welcome to Maxtober

I think you can also observe what prospects can do while they are in the minors.

The lost opportunity here was giving up on J.D. Davis, but that ship has sailed and this is where the team is now.
