Utter domination from Schwellenbach against the Mets. Gutsy outing to propel them into a playoff position.

[AMS528]

Schwellenbach started the year in high A ball, made the jump all the way to the Majors, has put up a 3.29 ERA/FIP since being up, and has held together the Braves rotation which dealt with injuries and Bryce Elder falling off, blew past his career high in innings pitched and has not slowed down all the way to this critical game.

 

Impressive as hell rookie season.

Ace.

[G-Snarls]

Ruh oh

 

Braves bullpen tryna blow it

[Orgfiller]

Mets coming alive. Just like that it's a game again.

[BTS]

Wo, Iglesias in for a 2-inning save after a Jimenez implosion

[Jonn]

Time to bring Farhan Zaidi home.

[Orgfiller]

This game is electric all of a sudden.

[G-Snarls]

Yep

 

It's been blown

 

3-3

[Masterbather]

Some people were yapping too soon. The Mutts suddenly lead.

[G-Snarls]

OMFG that escalated more than quickly

 

Nimmo HR off Iglesias and they're up 6-3

 

What the f***

[Masterbather]

Lol. Really screwed the Braves entire situation here today. It was all set up for them.

[Orgfiller]

Jose Igelsias having a dead-cat bounce career year is wild. 34 years old and out of the league last season, to becoming a hero in New York.

 

Holy f*** the Mets are STUNTIN' ON EM right now. What an absolute collapse.

[G-Snarls]

Iglesias pulled. Oh boy

[Orgfiller]

Nimmo mammoth pimp job is a gut punch for the Barves.

[BTS]

Braves fans on Reddit are blaming Snitker. I thought he made all the right calls.

Fans are so reactionary. Schwellenbach stayed in long enough to save the rest of the bullpen, got into trouble just before the fourth time through and they brought in their two best relievers who both didn't have it. Definitely no wrong moves made by Snitker. That's the way it goes sometimes.

100% right

Worst case scenario for the Braves, as they now burn all their high leverage arms, and are forced to send out Chris Sale for Game 2, who then won't be available for the Wild Card series except on short rest.

Maybe you can argue that Iglesias should have been in for two innings to begin with, but it certainly wasn't egregious not to do so especially if you want him available tomorrow. Fans just doing what angry fans do.

[Orgfiller]

Cover the f***ing base Diaz.

[Orgfiller]

Edwin Diaz is melting down. This would be the most Mets outcome ever.

[BTS]

Holy hell what a f***ing game

[Laika]

Mets mets mets

[Masterbather]

I love dramatic baseball.

[Orgfiller]

Edwin Diaz might be the most hated good reliever of all time. The guy just has a knack for blowing up at the absolute worst time.

so is he even a good reliever then?

LOL unless they come and win it...

 

Jeez what a game

[Orgfiller]

The numbers would say so! Maybe he's such a jock that he wants the nerds to look stupid for believing he's the right guy to put into ultra high leverage situations because of made up things like Whiff Rate, K%, xFIP?, Extension???

 

He's a made up good player. He sucks.
