9/21 GDT: Mets Hoping not to wither under Braves' onslaught

[VirginiaBrave]

Best CFer we have had since that Jones fella.

Ender Sandman. Freaking awesome play!!!

Can't wait to hear the radio call. Hopefully it was Jim Powell.

Ender showing once again why the idea of trading him pisses me off a lot. So did trading Simmons and Ender is Simmons defensively in the OF IMO.

BTW, Chip's game call kinda sucked because he called it as if it was simply a catch at the wall. That was gone.

That is the first time that anyone has ever complained that Chip's call lacked enthusiasm.

If he picks up a little power, he'll be an elite player. Doesn't have to be a big jump. Say 8-10 HRs per season, or a 5-10 increase in doubles and triples.

Ender needs to be a long term piece. No ifs ands or buts. I'd personally rather trade Mallex if one has to go but I'd love to keep both and get rid of Neck. I don't think two speedsters in the OF will be as bad as some fear. I know Mallex won't have quite the value Ender does.

Yup. There's a really easy path for Ender to become a 6 win player.

Really good to see the team coming together and playing great baseball. If this series ends up wrecking the Mets, I'll cherish it forever.

[depley]

there are 3 everyday players on the current team that you build your team around, Freddie Freeman, Ender Inciarte and Dansby Swanson. This is your base, add to it, add some pitching and have some fun watching the wins roll in

[Hudson2]

I'm afraid some team like the Cubs are gonna come hard for Ender in the offseason. I hope he takes the same road he has with Freeman and makes him off limits.

[UNCBlue012]

I had to be in bed, but that catch! Holy crap. Ender is the freaking man!!! I hate (probably) losing the top pick, but man this team is so much fun right now!

[Enscheff]

A shame Ender is only a platoon player.

How exactly does his ability to hit LHers in any way coincide with his elite defense?

This is the exact kind of off the mark counter points Im talking about. Do you seriously not understand that being a platoon player is in no way related to defensive ability?

Well if teams come after him hard and vastly overpay with MLB ready talent or elite prospects that are close... We would at least haven't think about it since we have Mallex.

The only person they could throw at us and I'd really consider taking a deal would be Schwarber. He's a bit of a liability, but he'd be the perfect bat for our lineup. That being said, no thank you - I want Inciarte as our leadoff man for quite a while. I do wish he could better utilize his speed.

[The Chosen One]

I fell asleep with the game on, and I woke up right as that ball was hit.

Said for months I'd rather keep Ender over Mallex even though Mallex would be cheaper long term.

Love me some Mallex, but if you can't keep both in the OF then trade Mallex. Ender's defense reminds me so much Simmons' with his heads up play and stealing outs. Dude has great makeup and is definitely a "Braves Way" player if such a thing existed.

[The Chosen One]

Something about Braves' centerfielders robbing the game winning hit at Citi Field...

i had no idea. please teach me.

I get the frustration with some. It's kind of like being on a diet where the goal is to lose, lose, lose. But this cake just tastes so good. Especially against the Mets and Nats.

[TheBravos]

Ended Friggin Inciarte

It was Powell; I heard it on SiriusXM this morning.

I really wish MLB would make the play a Must C so that all the calls would be played.

It's good today but the diabetes will be hard to deal with....
