Transaction a Day AA Goes Buck Wild
AA, obviously not satisfied with yesterday’s moves of optioning Michael Soroka, sending Kyle Wright to the 60-day IL, and claiming Luke Williams, made 5 additional moves today.
The First 3…
The Next 2…
I really like the Ben Heller move and feels very similar to the Nick Anderson offseason signing.
A.S.S. Going to Get Some Action in the 1st Inning Soon!
God bless it, I hope it works out.
Braves Lineup
Ok, Michael Harris II. That’s enough! Break it out tonight.
Yes, the air in this area is weird with this smoke from Canada, I am in NE New Jersey, you can see it, and taste, the smoke, it is freaking bizarre. Not sure how long they delay the game though
Yeah, I’m in Queens & it’s really very strange. Today certainly is a good day for a mask.
The air quality in Queens shouldn’t really be a factor at Truist tonight :shrug: We could use some rain though.
HAHA! I didnt even realize they were in Atlanta. Well, it is still weird as all heck up here. LOL
Such a strangely colored sky, like a backdrop of a horror movie.
Looks like the game might begin around 9 pm.
Harris has not been able to remotely adjust to how he has been pitched this year. He is absolutely killing us right now
Michael Harris is swinging at everything and has no plan. Don’t like it.
Flailing away…swings at first pitch balls and takes first pitch strikes. He isn’t unlucky anymore….just bad
This team is a bobble away from having three double plays turned at its expense tonight. This GIDP predilection is maddening.
Nick Anderson unavailable? Minter in a 1-run game in the 8th is certainly a choice.
What a great win. If Alonso is gonna talk that loud, he should do more than go 1-for-4. Bahahahahaha!
Jeff McNeil with the classic LOLMets error.
Elder hung in there. He had to grind after two mistakes, but he did in yeoman’s fashion.
Yes, this was delightful! Screw that guy.
Oh and Elder was pretty good even with allowing the HR’s to their only two power hitters.
Great win. Especially with Scherzer and Verlander to come, winning tonight is very helpful.
I did dig Jeff McNeil’s Timmy Lupus imitation in LF tonight.
Always great to come back & beat the Mets, and especially so when our next 2 games come vs. future Hall of Famers on the mound.
We’re gonna be fine against those guys, in my opinion. We usually handle Scherzer just fine – it’s a matter of Charlie keeping the ball in the yard. Let’s get another one tonight ahead of Striderday
This victory was so sweet. It’s always fun to beat the Mutts.
Also, Pete Alonso is just the worst. “pLeAsE tHrOw It AgAiN”
Why are the Mets so committed to giving us unnecessary motivation? We’re going to say “throw it again” about a million times this year. Why do they have to poke the bear? And as a Gator fan, Pete is really pissing me off. C’mon, man, I want to at least not hate you.
Recapped, belatedly.
