IGT 8/29 Ace Peterson with the Tourniquet Mets vs Snakes 3:40

[ashie62]

David Peterson has as good a claim to the title of Ace this season as any other pitcher on the team

He can take it a step further by shutting down the juggernaut that is the Arizona Diamondbacks

The Mets have suffered two potentially season defining losses; the walk off loss to the Padres and the Diaz meltdown last night

To make matters worse the Minnesota Twins are providing no help against the Atlanta Braves

There are two days left in August about 51 years after the mantra "Ya Gotta Believe" was born

I hope that somehow Tug McGraw can look down and sprinkle the Mets with "Believe" dust

The road to the post season starts with today

David Peterson 8-1 2.85 1.32
Ryne Nelson 9-6 4.29 1.28

Afternoon delight

[kcmets]

Biggest game in the history of the franchise!

[Edgy MD]

Sitters include Vientos, Álvarez, Bader, and Taylor.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I hope the sitters understand that bedtime is at 8:30 and that the kids shouldn't get too much ice cream.

[ashie62]

Dedniel Nunez is day to day per Mendoza

[G-Fafif]

Nuñez on IL, per Pat McCarthy on Mets Audacy pregame.

[kcmets]

I was like you're wasting the pick off challenge in the first on THAT?

Silly me...

[kcmets]

PeteyBOOM!!!

[ashie62]

Babka!

[Edgy MD]

That flew real far.

[kcmets]

Second challenge win at first in only the first two innings.

Ump must have a cousin playing the under today on Bullybets...

[Edgy MD]

Tough day to be a first base ump.

[Benjamin Grimm]

PeteyBOOM!!!

This gives him one more than Piazza as a Met. Only Wright and Strawberry have more.

[Edgy MD]

Grichuk?

[ashie62]

Good pitch, good hitting

[Edgy MD]

Peterson's pickoff is a weapon.

[ashie62]

Peterson with two pickoffs, that's crazee

[Fman99]

I'm watching, first game in some time, between the late starts, WPIX broadcasts, and having been spending much of the last several days at the New York State Fair, just have not been around much to watch.

LINDOR
