I'm talking to my contacts in the FO about laying down in the second. Fair is fair, and nobody wants to face Arizona in the playoffs.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

That was a game for the ages, though. Probably a lot of fun if you're not a Brave or Met fan

There is nothing to gain and a lot to lose for the Mutts to play this game. I know that integrity is a thing, and it isn’t fair to the Snakes to just log a forfeit and move on, but by playing this game, it really puts the Mutts at a BIG disadvantage.

Chris Sale scratched for the 2nd game. Back spasms. He had a history of candy ass "injuries" bumping starts in big games when he was in Boston. Huge for the Braves. Yeah, the Mets will be using bathroom attendants but anything can happen

He pulled a muscle trying to cut up some jerseys

 

[Shanemansj13]

The playoffs start early. Wow!

 

[calsnowskier]

This is a ghost injury, most likely. They would rather have Sale available for the WC round than waste him in a game the Mutts aren’t even going to show up for.

 

[Cedrique]

Is Danny McBride pitching for the Braves?

If there is a WC game for Atlanta.

 

[calsnowskier]

There is next to zero chance the Mutts win this game. They will not use a single pitcher worth a shit. Lucchesi will pitch at least 5 if at all humanly possible, even if he gives up 8 runs.

And the Braves bullpen is in tatters after the first game. How many innings can the Braves get out of Grant Holmes?

 

[Cedrique]

When do they cut away to some sad drunk who has been at the Applebees bar in Tucson since 10AM PST waving his Diamondbacks pennant?

 

[Cedrique]

Holmes making a bid for his first no-no

Kinda looks like the Mets are just swinging at anything. They want to get to Milwaukee as early as possible.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Keep it up, Mets

You're doing great

They are doing the gentleman’s forfeit.

 

[calsnowskier]

There is zero reason for the Mutts to WANT to score in this game. That only opens the door to possibly go into extras and puts base runners into potential injury situations. They would be more than happy with giving the Braves 9 immaculate innings.

 

[calsnowskier]

Alonso has an appointment with the Mutts’ kangaroo court, now.

 

[Cedrique]

The announcers are doing a decent job of pretending this game isn't completely rigged.
