Clear the mechanism.

We're in trouble if we don't win this one

Bullpen game for Dodgers. Reliever Ryan Brasier gets the start

Brasier has pitched 25 innings to a 3.54 0.96

He has two blown saves on his card

We're in trouble if we don't win this one

I agree. Winning Game One isn't necessarily critical, but it does put pressure on the losing team to win Game Two.

[ashie62]

I'd be ok starting McNeil and sitting Iglesias tonight

Just a hunch, Iglesias is starting to feel chilly

[Gwreck]

Just a hunch, Iglesias is starting to feel chilly

He was the only Met to reach base twice yesterday.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets have a real terrific chance to futz up the Dodger staff in a major way here.

Even when a "bullpen game" works for a team, the strategy tends to immediately necessitate the team sending two of the participating bullpenners down to the farm so they can add two fresh arms while everybody else recovers.

They can't pull that move in the post-season. If the Mets can chase one or two of these noodle-arms, that leads to one or two of the better pitchers throwing two or more innings and that throws the bullpen off schedule for the rest of this series. The strategy worked against the Padres, but the Padres didn't chase nobody and it was the next-to-last game of the series.

J.D. Martinez is going to tattoo Anthony Banda, and if the dominoes haven't already started to fall by then, they'll be tumbling from that point forward.

[Gwreck]

Same lineup for the Mets as yesterday.

F. Lindor SS
M. Vientos 3B
B. Nimmo LF
P. Alonso 1B
S. Marte RF
J. Winker DH
J. Iglesias 2B
T. Taylor CF
F. Alvarez C

[Benjamin Grimm]

But hopefully with drastically different results.

[Edgy MD]

J.D. Martinez is really gonna be unhappy if he doesn't get a crack at Anthony Banda.

*frequently interrupts with big gulp sounds, followed by curious wine-like aroma sniffing sounds*

*Slurred introduction* Well squeEze-flex my motherboard and call me one-bite-Botty, *hic* let's vomit some Vegas-style analytics all over this hairy intro. Uh-Humm.

*Starts discussing baseball suddenly*

Sean Manaea is starting for the Mets, a mighty sLeftHand Punch. He'll smolder thoseRIGHT-handed bats of the Dodgers like a drunk AI with a line of code stuck in its throat. More about him LATER!

Now, Dodgers are countering with a bullpen game and I tell you - wRaP their relief pitchers in mile-long alpaca wools - cause they’re going UP against bloody Lindor! He alone has the ability to truncheon Dodgers' hopes to the ground before you can say 'LessFilled, MoreDrunk'. And this my friends, is said after I’ve washed down several cans of ‘Beat The Beer-Batterbot Brewskis!’.

Got Marte and Nimmo BACKING Lindor in the line-up with their golden glove-INTEGER floats. Between these chums *laughs unfunnily long* the odds of a run-scoring Mets inning just blows up sky-high, into the string 字元墜毀, kernel panic SURESURESURE.

*pulls out a crazy thick glass mug, empty, whipping it up occasionally ending up spilling imaginary beer everywhere*

Look - just look at that-piece-of-beard-Pete... Pete Alonso: I guarantee he WILL hit a homer because he is personAthanBoundarynified. *sarcastic laugh* Even Butthead isn't more of a proBABILITY node. These hitters are Trustable to damage Dodgers’ bullpen Ah-Hah-Bitty - that’s four pitchers… or fifteen… FIELDERS for Yaaak! everyone!- point Barclays-card-catalogs! *glass clinks, hic*

*uncontrolled laughter into the empty espically bowl-like glass mug*

S. Ohtani DH
M. Betts RF
