Feeling good about tonight with Julio on the mound

This was the same pitching matchup at Citi Field last week when we won 9-2. Hopefully we see similar results tonight.

I'll feel a lot better if Teheran doesn't walk 4 batters again tonight like he did the last go around. I'm a bit worried with his control this season. It only really came to bite him in his start against Washington, but other that the opening day start, control has been an issue for Julio this season.

Also if we get Gsellman out early we should be able to feast on a tired Mets bullpen after getting lit up yesterday.

Unless he just gets shelled, I'd have to imagine Gsellman will have a long leash and Collins will try to get at least 6 innings from him tonight.

23 runs. I think I remember the Braves giving up over 20 once, and Miguel Cabrera was a Marlin when that happened.

It's amazing at how good Chip and Joe are at talking things into happening.

"Braves haven't been falling behind in the first inning much this season"

10 seconds later, Conforto hits a leadoff homer.

I remember last season when I was about ready to strangle them when we were playing the Cardinals and they said "Turner Field is the only park Brandon Moss hasn't hit a home run in" and then he hit a 3 run bomb.

How about an Inciarte leadoff HR to counter that ?!!

Inciarte is such a valuable player. If the ball stays in the yard, I'm always confident Ender will make a play.

The way the ball seems to carry at Suntrust we are gonna have some great offenses and Freddie Freeman is gonna have monster numbers.

Lefties will love Suntrust. Freeman could put up 40 homers this season.

Well that turned to shit in a hurry.

Is it possible to lose a game and bounce back and win the next day? The win streaks are nice, but the losing streaks are painful.

well, we got 2 runs back. Just have to chip away. I have more confidence now than I did 2 weeks ago.

Good start to bottom of 6th. Back to back doubles by Freddie and Kemp


Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and Mets going to the bullpen
