NFT: Mets at Braves Game 2 THOR

thing about Lugo and Gsellman. They are ALWAYS pitching 3 innings. Maybe there is a reason nobody in the league does that? Do they prepare as starters or relievers? Cant be easy.

Gsellman hasn't pitched more than 2 innings this season.

He has. He just didnt retire an out. Either way, my point stands. These guys are always going double innings. Im not surprised Lugo is suddenly having control issues.

Lagares snuffs that out. Well done.

I hope this kid finally stays healthy.

any idea why?

era where guys like MIller can always go multiple innings and there's going to be this new trend where you will see crossover guys that go multiple innings. Sewald has gone 3 innings a couple of times too. It just makes me wonder... How are these guys preparing? Is there a reason this hasnt been done in a 100+ years or have Mickey/Eilland unlocked something. It's not even like they are off for a few days in between either. Sometimes they have been called back right away to face a batter the next day in between these 2-3 inning stints.

Just spitballing. Not criticizing.

Ramos!

I think Relief pitchers often went multiple innings back in the day. I was only 7 in 1986 but I think Roger McDowell often went 2-3 innings. I think Tug McGraw would do 3-4 innings in his ya gotta believe year

offense sucks balls. Thor and DeGrom games need to be those.

Miller is a freak but how many pitchers that arent even long men doing this regularly? Also, so early in the season before even really being stretched out a lot yet.

Just bares monitoring is all. It will be great if it works. Im still optimistic and prefer what Ive seen from the bullpen and Mickey over what Terry used to do.

Wilmer working on a reverse cycle: he has been thrown out home, second and first

Absolutely fantastic. That .197 batting average looks great Ces. Keep up the stellar work.

vacation. Maybe they can go hang out on Cespedes's horse farm for a week.

cant believe Swarzak pulled his intercostal again and had a setback. He's going to be out another month. Im greedy and want the pen to have its full compliment.

the fucking manager. You want to bat under .200 and strike out half the time? Fine, take a seat for a couple games. Hated lack of accountability under Terry. Find playing time for the players that are crushing it, Mickey.

I think we would all sign up for Nimmo staring 4 games a week right now and there's no reason why they cant do that. Its a little baffling.

Oh well lets steal this game somehow.

Game over.

Flo. Come on BRUUUUCE!

You do know that the Mets can’t hit, right?

Depending on whether it’s a righty or lefty going for the other team

This is sickening.

cant possibly do worse than Flores and Bruce.

Does a pitching coach manager have any feel for hitting strategy?

Yup, good call.

Wow.

Move the fucking runners.

Well, the first two weeks of the season were fun though!

I also would have pinch hit Agon for Nido

:(

I swear the Braves do the effing chop more than they ever have. It's literally every 2 seconds.

Winter Soldier.

He does! lol. Im stealing it!

Looks like Gsellman will come out for a third inning....

so we can bring in Familia.

If they cant do it again I give up. lol

for Nimmo

Wow. Cespedes gets a clutch hit again. I swear Cespedes only gets hits when the game is on the line. Crazy.

Launch Angle Baby!

kept going to third.

Nope. Sit Bruce and Cespedes. Let the kids play.

vs a playoff contender. We have a top 5 bullpen.

I feel so dirty, lol. They got away with one.

is da man! MVP

Uninspired baseball for large chunks tonight, but the bullpen and Ces again doing zero but a game-winning hit.

Big, and frankly unexpected, win.
