IGT 04/08 - NYM at ATL - Time to Get Real

[Edgy MD]

The Braves have taken the feather design off the sleeve of their 1970s unis.

[Cowtipper]

Side note—all the Mets pitching worries might soon be solved, Max Kranick is on his way to a rehab assignment.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fun Fact: "Kranik" is German for "Power"

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We could use some juice from DJ

[Cowtipper]

Who is this Reed Garrett we have this year? Totally surprised by his performance so far.

[Frayed Knot]

Charlie Morton is allowed to throw 105 pitches ... and he's 57 years old!

[Centerfield]

I don’t like that Mendoza argues calls like a fucking wuss.

[Centerfield]

And of course that run scores.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I miss the dArnaud who sucked and was unreliable and injured half the time.

[Frayed Knot]

You knew the Braves weren't done scoring for the night.
Just kind of wish the ump didn't decide to help them.

[Centerfield]

Literally hit chalk. I know the guy can’t overrule it. But raise hell. Fire up your team and make sure you get the next close one.

[Edgy MD]

Taylor for Wendle is good move.

And yet ... strike three.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon.

Nimmo.

Game.

[Edgy MD]

First base ump Carlos Torres really likes to ring up batters on checked swings.

[Edgy MD]

So, as they go to Sulser for a second inning, I get the idea that that they're staying away from the name-brand relievers. Smith may be the biggest name we see.

Even tied in the seventh, this is still going to be a tough one to steal.

[Edgy MD]

Diekman cares not for teams with .900 OPS's.

Hey, when did this become my thread?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cole got himself out of trubble.

Key for the Mets would be a 5 or 6 run inning here

[Frayed Knot]

First sighting of the 2023 v. of DJS

[Edgy MD]

DJ SPLASHDOWN IS IN THE HOUSE!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Now with the way the Braves score in late innings we only need about 7 or 8 more in order to feel somewhat comfortable.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We could use some juice from DJ

Thanks for the juice

[Frayed Knot]

Dang! Pete could have broken things wide open right there.

[Edgy MD]

Not swinging at pitches two and half feet outside, he couldn't.

[Edgy MD]

Smith is running on adrenaline. That'll hurt in an inning or so.

[Edgy MD]

Back to the wall for Drewid.
