Carlos Quintana vs Allan Winans

First start of the season and seventh of his career for the former NYM draft pick Winans (17th round, 2018)
His second and third starts of his career came vs the Mets last August. On Aug 12 he tossed 7 innings of 4-hit shutout ball at CitiField in a game
where the Mets took a narrow 21-3 loss. Nine days later in Georgia he took a blue and orange beating to the tune of 7 ER, 9 hits, 4-1/3 IP in
what became a 10-4 NYM win, one of the five or six games the Mets have won against the Braves during the 21st century.
So now 43% of his ML starts will be against the Mets.




The good news is that it's not currently raining in Atlanta. The bad is that it's expected to start right around game time and not end until
sometime Thursday.
In other words it's gonna be another ...

How did we lose Winans ?

The Braves grabbed him in the minor-league phase of the 2021 Rule V Draft.

Rainy forecast, though sunny days for Tyler Jay (No. 74) should he make his major league debut in relief of Jose Quintana.

Banged. Tyler Jay will have at least two days as a major leaguer.
The new date is September 26th so that might be the day that the Mets clinch the division title.

Crap. So we miss the shitty fill in starter and get Max Fried. Annoying

Yeah. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the Braves thinking.
The weather tomorrow looks bad, too:
"Thunderstorms in the morning followed by occasional showers in the afternoon. High 71F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Higher wind gusts possible."

Makeup date September 6.
Later

Sept. 26, a Thursday night.

Thanks for the update.
The site I looked at had it wrong.
Later

12:20 (scheduled) start time on Thursday (as I just find out).
Rain expected to stop around mid-morning but then pick up again in mid-afternoon.

Most places this morning still show Jose Quintana vs Winans today at 12:20.
Some other places show Hotlanta getting deluged and under tornado watch.

Lineup for 4/11:

Mets Game 12 of 162, @ ATL
Thursday, April 11, 12:20 p.m.

Lindor SS
Alonso 1B
Baty 3B

Quintana LHP (0-1, 2.61)

Weather forecast looks okay. The latest I've seen shows the rain pretty much holding off until around 4 p.m.

The Braves sit above us, the Marlins below.

We're getting closer to the lineup I envision.

I know it's might be a blow to the ego, but I think Marte in the nine-spot would be really effective, and suggest we might go with:

1. Nimmo LF
2. Lindor SS
3. McNeil 2B
4. Alonso 1B
5. Baty 3B
6. Alvarez C
7. Stewart DH
8. Bader CF
9. Marte RF

Of course, Lindor is hitting right now like he's aiming for the ninth-place spot. Or the eleventh or twelfth.

Rain delay

Forecast is not good for this gaydame

Skies cleared, tarp removed.

　　Rain in the sky, tarp on the field
　　Gloves not to don, bats not to wield
　　Umps watch the radar while players play whist
　　Broadcasters roll eyes but the clouds won't desist

　　　　Fans in the exits, the concourse, the clubs
　　　　Drink eight-dollar beers from fifty-cent pubs
　　　　Each hour growing more grumpy, more few
　　　　Eight thousand, six thousand, four thousand, two

　　But midtown Manhattan cries GET THIS ONE IN!
　　And few seem to care which team gets the win
　　'Til at last they come out between drops in the squall
　　To grind out five farcical innings of ball

Hey, it's, like, sunny!
