IGT Tue Sept 24 Mets @ Braves 7:20 PM

[Fman99]

Luis Severino versus the always dangerous TBD

[Frayed Knot]

Supposedly it's to be rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach: 19 starts; 7-7; 3.61 ERA; 1.103 WHIP
Been good in four of this last five starts but doesn't go real deep into games: 4.2, 5.2, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0

After that it's Sale then Fried

[Centerfield]

Schwellenbach dominated the Mets the Saturday after the Senga game. 7 IP, 0 ER, 11K.

He's been much better in the second half than he was in the first half. Hopefully they get to him this time.

No one seems upset that Lindor is not trending in the right direction

[Edgy MD]

I didn't know there was a trend. Maybe if he's not able to bend and stretch without discomfort, he can help the team as a DH.

But I certainly can't see the point in upsetting myself. It scares the dog.

[Fman99]

I am trying to project confidence but I still have the 2022 tire tracks across my back and buttocks and it's making me leery.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, definitely. That series has been at the front of my mind as well. We'll have to see where we are on Friday morning. (But ideally this will be resolved by Wednesday night.)

Lindor still out.

[ashie62]

They're gonna have to win without Lindor possibly from here on

[ashie62]

I didn't know there was a trend. Maybe if he's not able to bend and stretch without discomfort, he can help the team as a DH.

But I certainly can't see the point in upsetting myself. It scares the dog.

Uh, no DH either

Are you up to speed on this?

Are you up to speed on this?

Sure. I understand there is pessimism that he will be available the rest of the season.

The Mets, on the other hand, have a two-game advantage on the Braves, a half-game advantage on the Diamondbacks, and the only Acuña currently playing MLB baseball.

[Edgy MD]

I am trying to project confidence but I still have the 2022 tire tracks across my back and buttocks and it's making me leery.

I thought that was just something you wore to get sympathy tips when you gig out.

[ashie62]

I have to have more faith in the unsung guys that have gotten the Mets this far, and they're are many

I feel like Lucy just pulled the ball away from Charlie Brown again when it comes to availability

LGM

[Edgy MD]

Hey, I've sung about all of them.

I'm kind of sorry not to see Eddy Alvarez out there this evening, seeing as this is the only righthander they are expecting to see.

[Frayed Knot]

Albies is listed as a switch hitter but he's also just recently back from a wrist injury and is only hitting left-handed these days (subject to change).

[Edgy MD]

I think it's t'other way around, and he's only batting righthanded.

[Frayed Knot]

If so that means he's going to hit right against a righty tonight.

[ashie62]

Braves are happy to have him back either way

[G-Fafif]

[Edgy MD]

Unsung Mets, my ass.

[ashie62]

Lindor is smiling and happy like yeah!

[Fman99]

I am trying to project confidence but I still have the 2022 tire tracks across my back and buttocks and it's making me leery.

I thought that was just something you wore to get sympathy tips when you gig out.

Whatever works

[ashie62]

The weather is becoming prohibitive for the rest of the season so .

Win tonight

Hope Wednesday gets in and clinch
