Mets Lineup:

Granderson RF
Cabrera SS
Cespedes CF
Walker 2B
Conforto LF
K.Johnson 3B
Loney 1B
Plawecki C
Harvey P


This lineup has shown more life since being implemented. Lets see how it does against Harvey tonight!


(Expecting a YUGE game from K.Johnson tonight)

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from AJ.

[USMA76]

I know this is beaten to death, but all you really need to know about our lineup is that we have a guy batting cleanup who has, at best, warning track power.

[Enscheff]

Mallex has been up for like 2 months and has literally made an out on the bases in every possible way. He is far and away the worst "speedy" base runner I have ever seen.

[UNCBlue012]

Inciarte!

[bravos4evr]

he tries to make stuff happen, he will learn.

[UNCBlue012]

Freeman!

[mfree80]

he tries to make stuff happen, he will learn.

He is learning. Have you noticed how long it has been since he has been caught stealing? At first he was bad... now he is quite good and getting better.

[bravos4evr]

well not as much, I cut the cord from cable/direct tv and haven't watched as many games as in the past.

mlb.tv works great.

[bravos4evr]

mlb.tv works great.

can't get it as even tho I am 6 hours away, I am considered inside the Braves fan area and their games are blacked out

[dak]

Is there a way to turn off autocorrect? I'm not having much luck typing the last name of our pitcher tonight.

[mfree80]

Feel for you. I can't watch the Braves when they play the D-Backs even though I am 750 miles away from Phoenix. I am part of their territory, don't get their local channel, and am blacked out.

[msstate7]

Gant is pitching well, but I really hate watching his windup. If he continues to pitch this well, I'll deal with it though

[msstate7]

I'm not sure if you're using mobile or desktop. I use mobile and my phone is doing the autocorrect, not the site.

[UNCBlue012]

Mallex is so damn fast

[UNCBlue012]

This Harvey is horrible

[Julio3000]

Neck gets a rainbow to drop. Hopefully, that's the sound of BABIP creeping closer to the mean.

Mallex is getting it.

[nsacpi]

The contours of a competitive team are emerging. The top of the order against righties is good.

[dak]

Thanks . . . using desktop. Was constantly changing to Cant, but I'll fight through it. Gant, GANT, GANT!!!

[nsacpi]

Give some credit to the other team.
This Harvey is horrible

[dak]

Gant is pitching well, but I really hate watching his windup. If he continues to pitch this well, I'll deal with it though

Yeah, the long pauses are what get me. I think it does make life uncomfortable for the hitter though, so he's got that going for him. I definitely like the results tonight though.

[msstate7]

Is gant high on meth? He never sits still with all kinds of twitching. He also sticks his tongue out in a weird way that I've seen methheads do before.

50% playing
50% serious

Either way, gant is pitching very well

Me, too. And the gnats (in case I want to root for them to lose). And the Orioles.

[bravos4evr]

with the new internet way of things, MLB needs to give us a chance to use MLB.TV even if it means we have to pay a little extra or be subject to commercials

He was making some of those facial expressions while batting as well. Maybe a "milder" form of Tourette's?

[USMA76]

Looked like the pitcher beat Freeman to the bag.

[rico43]

Looked like the pitcher beat Freeman to the bag.

Yes, you, too, are qualified to be a major league umpire.

[UNCBlue012]

Either way, Freeman is all over everything.

[USMA76]

Yes, you, too, are qualified to be a major league umpire.

I'll gladly take the paycheck. 8^) Seriously, watching the Mets broadcast, it looked like Bastardo's spike touched the bag minimally before Freeman's did but I like the way the call turned out.

[UNCBlue012]

Since Sunday, Freddie Freeman has raised his average from .242 to .269 with 3 doubles, 1 triple, 3 homers, 7 RBI & 7 runs scored. #Braves

[rico43]

This would be a good place for Jenkins to get his feet wet.

[dak]

Gant has got what it takes to stick as an MLB starter. FB 92-94, the Vulcan change-up, and a good CB. Hope he can keep it up and hold his spot.

[UNCBlue012]

Fantastic start from Gant. I really like his composure

[msstate7]

Yeah, I didn't realize he had that much velocity. For some reason, I was thinking he was at 90

[Oklahomabrave]

I like Gant a lot. I like his stuff better than Perez, Wisler, or Blair. Remember in the offseason the prospect guy at fangraphs listed him as a FV 60? Might have been aggressive, but I see it.

[USMA76]

Withrow looks like he wants to make this far too exciting.

[UNCBlue012]

Winthrow attempting to ruin this game I see.

[bravos4evr]

baseball is a weird game, you hope on guys like Newcomb, Simms and Blair and it can turn out that it's the Gants, Ellises and Whalens that turn out good....

[CrimsonCowboy]

Not good, Withrow.

[Garmel]

Whew!!! Way to go Cervenka(sp?)!!!

[4maddux_cy's]

WTG Hunter! Good to see all Gant's work wasn't thrown away.

[rico43]

Gameday pitch tracker showed that Cervenka went right up the ladder on those three pitches. Kid has a killer instinct.

[dak]

Nice work Hunter! Cervenka, Krol, and Alvarez have given us some pretty nice work from the LH side. I think EOF is about to have his card pulled when he returns from the DL.

[nsacpi]

The contours of a competitive team are emerging.

[msstate7]

Really hope aybar can keep this up another month.

[UNCBlue012]

Okay Aybar. He looks really solid actually

[USMA76]

Really hope aybar can keep this up another month.

I have to admit he is sucking far less recently.

[rico43]

Next time Snit wants to reach out to Withrow, might he cosider Jenkins instead?

[UNCBlue012]

Aybar, Jim Johnson and Norris have all been much better lately. We may have some trade chips after all

[USMA76]

Next time Snit wants to reach out to Withrow, might he cosider Jenkins instead?

Snit's obviously saving him...for exactly what, I don't know.

[UNCBlue012]

Okay, maybe not Jim lol

[rico43]

Johnson has allowed only one run in his last 10 appearances. They do NOT need to get Viz up tonight. Let's see Tyrell in the ninth!

[UNCBlue012]

3-5 now for Freddie. This is an incredible streak.

[UNCBlue012]

Jenkins warming up!

[UNCBlue012]

Freeman with a steal, Chase walks, AJ up.

[Garmel]

No Jenkins.

[UNCBlue012]

And Viz is in. What is wrong with our managers?

[rico43]

This is Viz's fourth appearance in five games. Somebody needs to ring Snit up and point out that he doesn't need to kill the closer in non-save situations.

Jenkins should have pitched tonight. Period.

[Oklahomabrave]

Snitiker has pissed me off with his decisions frequently. I'm tired of these old ****, archaic style managers. I want someone young and intelligent.

[bravos4evr]

Snitker is overly fond of relief pitchers. Makes me wonder if it's fallout from trying to get prospects work in the minor leagues

[UNCBlue012]

Man, great win!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Odd ending. Nonetheless........

[UNCBlue012]

I'm afraid to say it to soon, but this team looks decent...

[bravos4evr]

win, yay?

[nsacpi]

First major league win for Gant.

[USMA76]

Incredibly dirty slide by Loney there. Give the Mets' announcers credit as they're all over Loney right now and saying the correct call was made.

[rico43]

Let's hear it for the slide rule!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Congratulations John Gant! Well deserved.

[rico43]

Tonight would be a fun night to lurk on a Mets message board.

[4maddux_cy's]

Best ending since the balk off!

[Runnin]

LOVE IT!

The slide itself wouldn't have been all that bad. It was the elbow to the nuts that did him in.

+1

[USMA76]

To me, it looked like he went for Peterson's right knee before going after his right nut.

Gants first Braves win?

[Julio3000]

Impressive game tonight. I'm really happy for Gant, but I'll second the sentiment that his delivery is hard to watch.

[USMA76]

"Painful" is the first adjective that comes to mind.

[mfree80]

I hope the opposing hitters don't get used to it.
