IGT, 2024-07-28, ATL@NYM Here it Goes Again

[Edgy MD]

Reynaldo Lopez has a tiny ERA, but David Peterson is undefeated, and possibly undefeatable.

Throw on your clothes and the second side of Surfer Rosa. Here go the Mets again.

A little hitting would be nice.
Take away the Game 2 HR barrage and they've notched a total of three runs on 7 hits across 19 innings in Games 1 & 3

[Edgy MD]

Jesse Winker appears to be on the roster, if not in the lineup.

[ashie62]

Win this series Mets

It is not a time to backslide and be 1 1/2 behind the Braves

[Frayed Knot]

Yes, this would be a most disappointing split if we lose today.

[ashie62]

Nice camera shots from high up

[ashie62]

Petey looks sharp

Bottom 2 no score

[Edgy MD]

Seeing Winker in #3 feels a little weird. I certainly don't think it should be retired, but explicitly putting a number on a memorial patch sort of makes it feel like it's otherwise out of circulation.

Of course, we've had Taylor in 15 while it's part of the Grote memorial patch.

[ashie62]

It is creepy, would there be any harm in waiting on those numbers for a short while

[Edgy MD]

Leadoff hits in three straight innings. Gotta plate somebody sometime.

[Edgy MD]

It's so long between Gamel starts that you can see the growth in his beard from appearance to appearance.

[ashie62]

Gamel is on

Opportunity abounds here

[Edgy MD]

Mets still jumping on first pitches, especially with ducks on the pond, but it's not availing them.

[ashie62]

Nimmo is killing us of late

[Edgy MD]

Well, that's what Matt Olson does with a fat pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

Opponents seem to know how to score their leadoff baserunners.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Peterson had the Braves' number for the first three innings.

He's been totally at sea this frame, though.

[Frayed Knot]

Peterson has thrown more pitches to get One out this inning than he needed to get the first nine out in innings 1 thru 3

[Frayed Knot]

Already 0-for-8 w/RiSP.
That's a lot of gagging for just four innings.

[Frayed Knot]

Three leadoff doubles in five innings ... none of them scored.

[Edgy MD]

With some help from the Sarbaugh Follies.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, with the statistical probability of NYM scoring runners from 3rd w/no outs hovering somewhere in the 1.3 and 2.1% range, sending him was probably the logical move.
