I’ve yet to see Walker throw a pitch this inning  
CooperDash : 8/5/2022 7:48 pm : link
over 87 mph. Hope he’s not hurt but he’s definitely in lala land.

That last pitch was at 93, so who knows.

Francisco Álvarez has homered again, his third home run in five games for Triple-A Syracuse.

Doubleheader tomorrow. He either uses the bullpen tonight and punts a game tomorrow, or punts tonight. Pick your poison


Probably best to do what he's doing. Keep Walker in.
Pitchers have bad games.

Let's hope it was the cleat and an aberration

Oh, I know. But 4 runs is manageable. And it was only the first.

Walker probably should not have come back out. Now we have to go to the BP anyway - but instead of it being a 4 run lead it’s now a 6 run lead and likely to be 7 or 8 before the inning ends.

Can’t give up the game in the first inning. Oh well. Bad situation all around.

Shit. If he keeps it up, he won't be giving the Mets a choice.

Yep. Sucks but it happens. On the bright side, I'm not there so we can just turn it off and come back tomorrow

Walker hit a wall last year as well  
Vanzetti : 8/5/2022 8:00 pm : link
Let's hope they are smart enough this year to put him on the DL rather than just run him out there to get shelled like they did last year.

From your mouth to gods ear - would love to see them bring back Peterson and put Walker on the shelf for now. Love the idea of Megill going to the pen when he gets back.

Ronny Mauricio has homered tonight for Double-A Binghamton.

He has 20 already this year, tying the career-high he set last year.
Geez, LG is soooo fucking slow.

Exactly. Well, Let’s get it out of our system tonight. Let the Barves have their fun and bark at our fans all night. As long as we take care of business tomorrow.
No big deal. I was looking forward to a free night I

up 8-1
Wow.  
Optimus-NY : 8/5/2022 9:18 pm : link
Snitker ain't playin'. One would think, "let my guy get one more out here to qualify for a W", but guess not.
Mets ain’t gonna let Braves off easy tonight

That was my thought too, Snitker is running scared, pulling his pitcher in the 5th inning with a 6 run lead.

...And it just got more interesting. 2 more runs just scored. 8-4.
This game is nuts  
ZGiants98 : 8/5/2022 9:23 pm : link
3 run game
At a minimum, this rally  
Metnut : 8/5/2022 9:25 pm : link
ensures that the Braves will have to burn through most of there bullpen tonight before the doubleheader tomorrow.

Walker should have never come out for the second. But not an easy call.

+1. My thought also. 4 at bats to score 3 runs. Very Doable.
Joely with a clean inning?

I respect Snitker's decisiveness.

Not a smart move in 6th inning IMO

I'd rather keep Vogey in there for an AB vs a righty the next time around

Braves D robbed Mets of three runs  
Vanzetti : 8/5/2022 10:57 pm : link
Bad ABs by Marte and Nimmo failing to get a the runner to third from second with no outs. That's two small ball runs they left on the table

So, despite a horrendous performance from their starter, Mets were actually in the game.

And as Metnut predicted Braves had to use the big guns in their pen.

Great point. That's the ONE thing they could have improved upon, instead of getting Buck's guy Givens.
Momentum in baseball is as good as the next day's SP.

Look who we've got going today. Scherz is gonna be pumped for today's day end of the Double Header:



I feel good that the Braves BP had to work last night. Let's get after it today and take at least one of the two games today.

P.S. Any word about Walker's injury situation, if there is one?

yeah he looked pretty dominant yesterday. with jansen only being under contract this year at the same AAV, iglesias likely just swaps in as their closer next year. that is an add the mets should have been involved in, especially knowing diaz is a FA, but the closest comps to the main prospect atlanta gave up would probably be either peterson or megill, so they didn't give up nothing.

was great to see the mets grind yesterday into a game but sucks to see that atlanta bp step up to shut things down when they needed to. i think the mets have the better team but atlanta is still quality.

I watched this part of the game...Minter was brought in to get Vogelbach out of the game

we had 2 on , and tying run at the plate while Vogelbach is hitting .134 against lefties.

Canha was the right move.

not sure how you can question this man.
