The average exit velocity against Edwin Diaz in August is 82.5 mph, the lowest it’s been all season.

Hitters are also averaging a 5 degree launch angle against Diaz this month, also a season low.

He’s also inducing a high GB rate this month at 55.6% (season best). #Mets @Mets

Because Mets should have won. Totally crap ABs by Conforto and Rosario allowed Braves to steal a game against the team

But the old cliche holds true: all wins count three same in the end

Win today and yesterday means shit

LGFM!!!
Steal a Game?

Mets only run came on a HR by deGrom. It was lucky the game went into extra innings

deGrom is a good hitting pitcher so not sure why we didn't earn that run. Its not like it was a cheap run or something. We did have runners on third multiple times in a tie game and Conforto was up with a runner on third with one out. So that's where that comes from.
Cubs already lost today.

We'll be 1 game back of the 2nd WC if we win tonight.

Great arm but pitches like a complete pussy

ZGiants98 : 8/24/2019 7:56 pm : link
Walking guys when he never walks anyone. Been 3 games now. This sucks. Braves always hurt Wheeler too.

Sadly the Braves games have now become meaningless. Any thoughts of going on a run and catching them in September are dead so losing is the same as it would be against any other non division team going forward IMO.

Our only concern now is the wild card contenders and losing tomorrow... as badly as it will suck... we'll still be within a couple games most likely with a ton of games left.
Can always count on the Braves to humble the Mets  
Rflairr : 8/25/2019 12:00 pm : link
no matter how good or bad they are.

Braves are right up there with the Cowboys to me.
Looks like Freddy Valdez  
pjcas18 : 8/25/2019 1:10 pm : link
promoted to GCL from VSL

Valdez and Alvarez decent debuts

Alvarez much better and he's already in Kingsport and still just 17 years old with an .828 OPS.

Szapucki promoted to BING for the final week.

Maybe he starts in BING next year and ends in Queens.
