IGT 7/18 Mets vs White Sox Carrasco vs Giolito 7:10

[ashie62]

7:10 start

Both starters are oft discussed trade targets

The White Sox are a team that can be swept and the Mets need to make that happen yesterday

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tuesday Night Mets in 512 tonight

[Frayed Knot]

Between the west coast games, AS Break, Apple games, FOX games, rain delays, and just plain old off days, this feels like it's the first SNY 7:10 start in more than a month.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gloomy day with high humidity and intermittent thick showers

Marte scratched again with migraine issues.

[MFS62]

Marte scratched again with migraine issues.

His last issues were groin related.
Are you trying to say his head is near his..... ?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Man, Tim Anderson has dropped off a fucking cliff. He's so fun to watch, I hope he gets right. In 4 days.

[ashie62]

They could IL Marte

Game time

[kcmets]

I don't recall why he was scratched last time, but I believe it
was migraine related and tonight is migraine related.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets offense with leadoff walks from Nimmo is the right kind of Mets offense.

[Frayed Knot]

A 1st inning run!!
That's at least their 3rd this year.

[ashie62]

ALVAREZ BOOM

[Cowtipper]

Mets now leading 4-0.

They'll be losing 6-4 by the 3rd inning.

[ashie62]

Take that Giolito!

You're not good enough to be a Met

[Frayed Knot]

Four Five 1st inning runs, the biggest of their season.
The Braves put up those kind of 1st inning numbers seemingly twice a week.

[Lefty Specialist]

I don't recall why he was scratched last time, but I believe it
was migraine related and tonight is migraine related.

I think it's 'My Groin' related.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets now leading 4-0.

They'll be losing 6-4 by the 3rd inning.

Well, they may be losing by the 3rd inning, but it won't be by that score.

[Frayed Knot]

Four Five 1st inning runs, the biggest of their season.
The Braves put up those kind of 1st inning numbers seemingly twice a week.

And on cue, the Braves put up a five spot in bottom 1st vs the DBacks
5-2 heading to the 2nd

[ashie62]

Baty getting hot with the bat would help their chances this summer

[Frayed Knot]

Four Five 1st inning runs, the biggest of their season.
The Braves put up those kind of 1st inning numbers seemingly twice a week.

And on cue, the Braves put up a five spot in bottom 1st vs the DBacks
5-2 heading to the 2nd

And since I know you all are on the edge of your seats awaiting the actual stats on this ... the Braves have scored
- 3 runs in the 1st inning four times this season
- 4 runs eight times
- five runs three times (including tonight)
- six runs once
- seven runs once

So in those 17 games alone ATL has more than twice the number of 1st inning runs (72) than the Mets do in all 90+ of their games.(31)
Braves now have 100 1st inning runs in 2023

[nymr83]

Will the Mets continue to toy with us like tonight to the point that they neither buy nor sell at the trade deadline?

[nymr83]

That one went KABOOOOOOM
