Correction game thread: April 16, Mets at Braves

Spanish-language advertisements often use the form “Los Mets”. This is incorrect. Use “Las Mets” instead.

Jo-Jo Reyes is pitching against the Red Sox.1st inning, 1st & 2nd, one run in, no outs. Yeah, I remember this guy.
Kevin Lee on April 16, 2011 at 12:43 pm

Hmmm.
I keep getting “Los Mets succionar.” or
“Los Mets chupan.” when I try an online translator.
We’ll go with your version.
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Reyes just gave up a home run to Jed Lowrie, dealing a blow both the Blue Jays and Marco Scutaro’s playing time.
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 1:07 pm

I don’t get this lineup. You know Chipper and McCann aren’t going to play both games. Why go all in on one game?

Game one lineup:

1. Prado LF, 2. McLouth CF, 3. Jones 3B, 4. McCann C, 5. Uggla 2B, 6. Heyward RF, 7. Gonzalez SS, 8. Freeman 1B, 9. Lowe
TomL on April 16, 2011 at 1:27 pm

Peanut says Chipper plans to play both games today and take tomorrow off
spike on April 16, 2011 at 1:40 pm

Out of curiosity, is there a Dish network channel for todays game?
ryan c on April 16, 2011 at 2:25 pm

Prediction for lineup on 2nd game:
1. Prado 2. Heyward 3. Chipper 4. Uggla 5. Hinske 6. Ross 7. Hicks 8. Young
braves14 on April 16, 2011 at 2:28 pm

I prefer “Mets loss”
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 2:28 pm

7 – I sure hope Hicks doesn’t start.
ralphdibny on April 16, 2011 at 3:09 pm

What happened to Tim McCarver? He looks twenty years older than the last time I saw him.
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 3:37 pm

I love the fact the Mets were inconvenienced and are whining about the DH
Dan on April 16, 2011 at 3:42 pm

Whipping boy!
Bethany on April 16, 2011 at 3:42 pm

Awesome.
DowneasterJC on April 16, 2011 at 3:43 pm

I still hate AAG, just for the record.
jj3bagger on April 16, 2011 at 3:48 pm

Does anybody happen to have a radio link for us blacked out folks ?
ububba on April 16, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Just back from Yankee Stadium, where Rob Broad4th & I froze our asses off for 9 innings. Luckily, Freddie Garcia mowed through the Texas lineup for a pretty swift AL game. Rob certainly won’t have to endure these kinds of games in MarlinLand. Bon voyage, Rob.

Nice to walk in the door & see a Gonzalez HR. Let’s take 2.
DowneasterJC on April 16, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Please be injured.

PLEASE BE INJURED.
Nick H on April 16, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Aaaaaargh Nate…. gotta hand it to the guy, he finds ways to make outs.
braves14 on April 16, 2011 at 4:19 pm

Nice to see us hitting a bottom of the rotation pitcher.
ralphdibny on April 16, 2011 at 4:23 pm

Hey Foxguys, don’t let the action on the field interrupt your SABR-bashing. You prepared some great “slide rule” jokes–gotta use ’em.
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 4:30 pm

@17,

I assume you weren’t talking about a guy on our team?
Tomas on April 16, 2011 at 4:36 pm

Radio link
ryan c on April 16, 2011 at 4:38 pm

Reyes was out.
jj3bagger on April 16, 2011 at 4:41 pm

Thank you Tomas, I appreciate it.
braves14 on April 16, 2011 at 4:42 pm

Didn’t turn out to matter.
Bethany on April 16, 2011 at 4:42 pm

Much appreciated, Tomas!
ralphdibny on April 16, 2011 at 4:42 pm

Tomas, THANK YOU.
RobBroad4th on April 16, 2011 at 4:44 pm

@16, Catching the game in an Astoria sportsbar. Good seeing you again, ububba, and be sure to hit me up when you’re in Miami.
Alex Remington (Another Alex R.) on April 16, 2011 at 4:45 pm

Sea Bass sure grows on you when he hits two out, doesn’t he?
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 4:48 pm

Uggla hasn’t had a good at bat since he last faced the Braves
RobBroad4th on April 16, 2011 at 4:48 pm

@29, Still floored that he beat out McLouth for whipping boy. He’s not amazing by any means, but the guy can play.
RobBroad4th on April 16, 2011 at 4:50 pm

Watching the game on mute…was Lowe having arm or hand issues?
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 4:53 pm

@32,

Looks like he might have a blister
Tomas on April 16, 2011 at 4:54 pm

Radio guys said Lowe was pointing to one of this finders while talking to Fredi between innings.

Edit: They are decently funny at times on the radio:
“I think the Braves caught a break on that last strikeout”
“What are you talking about, it was in the right handed batter’s box, that’s close enough”
…
“I thought it caught a *lot* of the right handed batter’s box”
Bethany on April 16, 2011 at 4:56 pm

I am sick of Willie Harris kicking our ass.
jj3bagger on April 16, 2011 at 4:56 pm

30 – Neither had Willie Harris.
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:01 pm

32 – blister
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:03 pm

FREDDIE!

I bet they wont try to hit him again.
jj3bagger on April 16, 2011 at 5:04 pm

Fab Five Freddie !!!
Tomas on April 16, 2011 at 5:04 pm

Blistered!
Bethany on April 16, 2011 at 5:04 pm

YES!!!!! Way to go Freddie!
braves14 on April 16, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Hu struck out?
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:15 pm

2 on 2 run lead – Linebrink coming in…
braves14 on April 16, 2011 at 5:16 pm

Linebrink in a close game?
stupup74 on April 16, 2011 at 5:16 pm

Sherril’s suck has rubbed off on O’Flarety
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 5:16 pm

I would think Moylan is the guy you want with men on base.
Tom on April 16, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Better get used to this, the 7th inning is going to be a problem for the rest of the year.
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 5:19 pm

Phew.
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:20 pm

nicely done. I saw the Braves called up Ascenio before todays game and sent Boscan back down. They have to make a move before the 2nd game when JJ comes off the DL. Maybe they’ll DFA Sherrill.
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 5:25 pm

For all of the attention McLouth has gotten in the 2-hole, Prado’s horrible start in the leadoff spot has flown under the radar a bit.
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Nate isnt the only issue on offense right now.

For the second game tonight, they may want to rest Uggla. Put Prado at 2nd and Hinske in LF.
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 5:34 pm

Uggla could be in whipping boy range soon
csg on April 16, 2011 at 5:35 pm

#52 – nah plenty of guys ahead of him
ububba on April 16, 2011 at 5:39 pm

Attaboy, Jonny…
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 5:41 pm

Let’s get some insurance.
RobBroad4th on April 16, 2011 at 5:54 pm

@50, The difference is Prado competed for the batting title last year and Nate sucks always.
ububba on April 16, 2011 at 5:58 pm

Alright, now for the sweep…
DowneasterJC on April 16, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Glad to win, but I wish we could score some runs outside of homers.
Askia on April 16, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Combo of Gonzalez and Kimbrel gets it done.
Smitty on April 16, 2011 at 6:03 pm

Another winner in the opening of a series
Adam M on April 16, 2011 at 6:03 pm

56 – I would think that’s more cause for concern about Prado, not less.
Mac Thomason on April 16, 2011 at 6:05 pm

Recapped.
