IGT 7/27 ATL at Mets Keep it Going Again and Again and Again and Again

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

More like Meh-gill, am I right, fellas?

[Edgy MD]

When you've got no runs and two hits through seven, there aren't enough pitchers in the world to save you.

Meanwhile, though, Danny Young is putting on quite the display.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah Danny can strike em out

[Frayed Knot]

Schwelly is an annoying revelation here.

He's allowed a total of 3 walks over his last six starts and hasn't allowed more than two in any one of his ten ML games (both stats include today's game).
NYM pitchers can't go six innings without issuing at least three walks ... or sometimes three innings without issuing six walks.

[Edgy MD]

And yet, Snitker yanks him after 89 pitches, because the universe has decreed that the Mets must be given a chance.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go. Big rally here

[Frayed Knot]

At 0-for-13 in the series thus far -- high-lighted by the dopey bunt decision -- Kelenic hasn't done much to instill any trade regret among Met fans.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

2 on 1 out

[Edgy MD]

Suddenly, the tying run on deckard.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pete needs to get on and bring McNootbar up

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Booooooi

[Edgy MD]

Very chasey end.

[MFS62]

Passing the baton.
Who's going to re-start the streak?

Later

Butto has been very good in the pen, but I'm not sure I want to trust Megill in a tight spot. With Nunez out, we need all the quality arms we can get in the bullpen.

Hopefully, we can acquire a quality starter before the deadline. If not, possibly another bullpen pitcher to take Butto's place.

No matter how good Butto has been in the bullpen, he would have a lot more value as a starter. He had 7 starts last year and another 7 this year and looked quite good.

Megill now has 61 starts in the majors and has had more than ample opportunities. He is not a good option to keep starting games.

Maybe it’s not a strict role swap per se, but with Senga and Scott out, Butto should certainly be starting over Megill.

[Gwreck]

AS always, I am simply amazed DJ Stewart gets playing time. Even if he goes 4-4 with a grand slam today I will still be amazed.

Stearns has really done a poor job with bench construction.

[Cowtipper]

Just watched this one.

You knew it was going to be a bad game because Tylor Megill was pitching.
