Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 06:28 PM

Three homers to start off the game and we got no thread. New rule. After you start a game with two homers, you get to apply any subsequent runs to your previous series.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 06:30 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

I think Paolo Espino is going to leave this game without recording an out.

Methead Oct 04 2022 06:31 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

I'd like to see him gut it out for a few innings at least.

kcmets Oct 04 2022 06:32 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Let's win 100!

kcmets Oct 04 2022 06:32 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Oops, or 101...

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 06:34 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Espino hasn't quite touched 88 mph yet. If his fastball was a Delorean, it couldn't time-jump.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 06:35 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Huascar Brazoban just escaped a really tight jam against the Braves. Go, Marlins! It's just one run!

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 06:43 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Tenth batter of the inning.

kcmets Oct 04 2022 06:49 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

7-sniffle through one!

Someone wake up ashie!

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:04 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Marlins get one on in the seventh, but nothing doing. Do the Braves seem to use the same relievers every game?

The Hot Corner Oct 04 2022 07:05 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Great! When I'm blacked out, the Mets go crazy. Glad to (not) see it. It would have been nice if they had done this in Atlanta, instead of saving it all up for poor Washington.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 07:07 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

At some point the Braves relievers will give up a run or two. Why not tonight?

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:08 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Relievers the Mets Didn't Use in Game One: [list] [*]Lugo [*]May [*]Megill [*]Nogosek [*]Rodriguez [*]Williams [/list]

Lefty Specialist Oct 04 2022 07:09 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Not for nothing, but it'd be nice to get at least 5 innings here. Plenty of rain in the area.

One would be nice.



And maybe one after that.

Tres Berrera is very Berrera.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:16 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Braves come up empty in the top of the eighth. A.J. Minter comes on to face numbers 9, 1, and 2 in the Marlins' order.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 07:19 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Never liked Jon Berti…until NOW.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:24 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

I decide to just Gameday the Mets and watch the Braves/Marlins.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:26 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Berti just stole third. Good time for a d'Arnaud passed ball. You're looking tired, Travis.

kcmets Oct 04 2022 07:26 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

I'm watching the end of the Marlins game. Pissed off the Marlins stream on my MLB.TV is sucking so stuck with the Braves announcers.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 07:28 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Interesting that they're not just bringing Jansen in.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 07:30 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Doesn't look good.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:30 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

And a bases-loaded pinch-hit popout ends the eighth. Mattingly should be pinch-hitting himself here.

Centerfield Oct 04 2022 07:32 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Why would Mattingly use a LH PH there?

kcmets Oct 04 2022 07:33 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Load 'em and leave 'em. UGG! We now return you to your emergency igt...

He used Nick Fortes, a righty.



He should use himself in the ninth.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:41 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Ninth: Anderson, Stallings, Groshans. JJ Bleday and Miguel Rojas available off the bench.

kcmets Oct 04 2022 07:42 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Fish Sticks down to three outs to help us.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:44 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Three pitches retires Anderson.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:46 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Ugh. Stallings too.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 07:50 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

That racist chant (instead of, say, “Let's go Atlanta”) is some real bad ju-ju.

kcmets Oct 04 2022 07:50 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Jansen slammed that door 1-2-3...

The Hot Corner Oct 04 2022 07:51 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Marlins in the 9th: Anderson 3 pitches - strike out, Stallings 3 pitches - strike out, Groshans - 8 pitch fly out to Acuna. The dreams just died.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 07:51 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Clinchy-clinchy.

Edgy MD Oct 04 2022 08:01 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Despite the touchdown lead, Walker joins Carrasco in not sticking around long enough to get the win.

Gwreck Oct 04 2022 08:02 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Time for the subs. Let's get Alvarez in at Catcher and Vientos at third.

Marshmallowmilkshake Oct 04 2022 08:13 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

As you wish! Alvarez and Vientos

Marshmallowmilkshake Oct 04 2022 08:45 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

And Alvarez gets his first ML home run!

Congrats, Francisco. Nice 1st MLB homer. Not so congrats on the timing. Thanks (not!) for waiting until the Braves clinched the East to homer. Coulda used that homer earlier this week. Had the Mets beaten the Braves just once this week, this doubleheader sweep over the Nats woulda clinched 1st place and a first round playoff bye for the Mets. Also, the Mets spent 289 days in first place during this and last season combined, more than any other team in baseball. Just not when it counted, on the last day of each of the two seasons. Well, this is the Braves 5th straight division title. And they're the reigning WS champs. So this isn't any kind of a fluke.

Fman99 Oct 05 2022 03:47 AM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Yeah, I mean, if they're heating up, even a couple of days later than we all hoped, it's OK if they can take that momentum with them to the WC round and hopefully beyond

TransMonk Oct 05 2022 06:39 AM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

Without knowing how the new acquisitions would perform, if you would have told me in March that the 2022 Mets would finish as a wild card and second in the division to Atlanta by a game or two, I would have said "Sign me up for that!". If you would have told me in March that the Mets would win 100 games without JdG for half the season and without Scherzer for multiple IL stints, I would have called you an impossible dreamer. There were large stretches in 2022 where they looked like the best Mets team I've spent any of the past 25 years rooting for. I'm proud of these guys and eager to see them in the playoffs.

This is all true. The frustration come in that they were thisclose and let it get away. The sweep by the Cubs was as harmful as the sweep by the Braves. They get to re-set now, but the Padres will be no walk in the park. And beyond that lie the Dodgers.

batmagadanleadoff Oct 05 2022 01:46 PM Re: Emergency IGT 10/4 Game Two vs. Nats

The Mets had a season to be extremely proud of. But if Cohen wants WS titles, like he said he did, (and why wouldn't he?) he's gonna hafta compete with the new breed of super teams -- like the Dodgers and the Yankees. Which means plugging up every hole. Improve wherever there's room for improvement. No holes. There's no room for James McCann's and getting the kind of woeful DH production the Mets got this year -- from a position that by definition, doesn't field and so is expected to rake because there's no need to compromise offense for defense there, is just unacceptable. I'm not nitpicking. This is what's gotta be done to field, not a playoff contender, but a WS contender. Cohen's got the cash to do this. He doesn't have to play that poorer team's game where getting into the playoffs is enough and then hope that the lucky crapshoot nature of playoff baseball goes your way.
