Newk threw the worst 1,2,3 inning I've ever seen. Lol
Good news and bad news. The bad news is The Braves went into NYC where The Mets had won 13 of their last 14 home games. In 1 game they struck out 27 times, in another they only got 3 hits. Now for the good news. A 3 game sweep of The Mets, 8 straight wins overall, 8-0-1 in the last 9 series including 2 series against the otherwise red hot Mets, a series win against The Dodgers who have the best record in MLB and a road series win Against division leading Minnesota who is on pace to set a MLB season HR record.
It's all good right now.
All's swell that ends well.
We got a bit lucky to have a ground ball pitcher start on a day the wind was blowing out in parts of the stadium. For the most part the team is making it's own luck though.
Somebody got pissy with the DVs.
Either a Met fan or a janitor that doesn't want to be reminded of work.
it was me DV police...sorry I'm a little salty. @CTDawg is a big boy, he can take it.
I mean after 20 years of not being in the World Series it's about time the Braves got back to one I guess. Assuming they don't gag again in the playoffs.
there you go, now you guys can DV me for something ;)
No problem Kasey, sports can do that to us. If somebody advocated building a wall around Tuscaloosa and lay siege to the town, I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. To make it worse, I was born there.
Actually I'm incredibly fragile and I'm gonna have a good cry.
But first this -
FWIW I dislike Washington and Phillies fans WAY more than Mets fans. I have a couple of Mets friends.
The hitting (or lack of same has me a bit worried. Pitching has been good, bullpen really, really good. I know we faced some great pitching but it feels like our hitting has been off for a minute now.
According to reports, Dansby’s supposed to be back for tomorrow’s game. Duvall is likely to get sent down to Gwinnett, since Ortega is out of options. Expect Riley, O’Day, Duvall, Camargo, and others to be called up Sunday when rosters are expanded.
Really it's been the past 2 games where it's been a struggle. Hitting is always more unstable than good pitching though.
Here's an interesting way to look at what it will take to hold off Washington for the division title. If we play just 4 games over .500 the rest of the way (17-13) DC will have to play 16 games over .500 just to tie us ( 24-8). If we go just .500 ( 15-15) they will have to go 12 over .500 (22-10). Over the past 10 games we're both 8-2. Just keep winning series.
It's fun to watch Phillies and Mets fans boo their own players at the drop of a hat.
Donaldson has 9 homers against the Mets this year, the most of any Mets opponent since 1979.
