[50PoundHead]

Is Freeman the only guy on the team with a semblance of plate discipline?

yes

Pure filth by Diaz

 

[Snowman]

Does Chipstick actually believe the other managers knees are quaking as they look over at the on-deck circle at Matt Adams?

 

[thewupk]

ugly offense today

 

[Enscheff]

Braves lost 1-0 to arguably the best pitcher on the planet.

 

[TURBO]

Doomed

 

[CrazyTrain]

Well that was fun

Especially the one that cut him last week...

 

[UNCBlue012]

Okay, let’s do this, 2020 style: I’m so sick of seeing this team not try. Ugh!

 

[jsebe10]

Big city folks...He won a championship...so much “experience”.

 

[Snowman]

Especially the one that cut him last week...

To be fair, they didn't cut him, he exercised an opt out because he wanted to go somewhere he wouldn't be third on the depth chart. But still...

 

[jpack1]

Really really poor effort by the Braves offense today. Not totally surprising with the lack of at bats. Some really bad ABs by stars today. On to tomorrow

I liked when Ozuna fought a fastball off his hands and Chip exclaimed, “he JUST missed it!”

 

[sturg33]

0-2.7

 

[acesfull86]

Mets are great on opening day...it’s what we do. The next 179 days are where we run into trouble.

Cespedes hitting a homer and the Met bullpen going 4 scoreless are the two weirdest things to happen in the world in 2020.

ugly offense today

A seeing eye single(Acuna), a bloop(Dansby) and a solid Dbl by Ozuna to go along with 15 Ks is very damn ugly,

And to say they lost to the best pitcher in the game is lame. He lasted only 5 IP and didn't figure in the win. Had 4 innings to score against the BP.

 

[Snowman]

Chill, folks, it's only 2.7 games.

 

[sturg33]

I would love to see your data on this

Don't have it, and happy to be proven wrong.

I don't mind the Ks per se if the rest of the AB didn't look so terrible. Guys swinging themselves into bad counts on pitches that appeared to be out of the zone. I'll let Enscheff or someone who has access to that data tell me if I'm wrong, but guys were just swinging out of their shoes at crap.
