The Braves announced a series of roster moves today, recalling right-hander Huascar Ynoa and selecting catcher Chadwick Tromp. To create room on the active roster, they’ve optioned righty Ian Anderson and outfielder Guillermo Heredia.
The most noteworthy of these moves is the demotion of Anderson, who has been entrenched in the rotation for quite some time. First called up to the big leagues in August of 2020, he made six starts in the shortened season and registered a 1.95 ERA. That was impressive enough for Anderson to earn a spot in the club’s postseason rotation, as he made four more starts in the playoffs with a 0.96 ERA, as Atlanta reached the NLCS.
Last year, Anderson seemingly proved he wasn’t a short-season fluke by pitching well over a full campaign. Though he did make one trip to the IL, Anderson made 24 starts in 2021 with a 3.58 ERA, then made four more postseason starts with a 1.59 ERA, helping Atlanta win the World Series.
The 24-year-old has taken a step back here in 2022, however, currently sporting a 5.11 ERA on the year. His 29.7% strikeout rate in 2020 fell to 23.2% last year and is down to 19.8% here this year. His 11.3% walk rate is also a career high and his 47.4% ground ball rate a career low. It’s possible there’s some bad luck involved, as his .318 BABIP on the year is much higher than in past seasons, but there’s also a lot of blue on his Statcast page, with batters clearly making some good contact against him. With the emergence of rookie Spencer Strider and the acquisition of Jake Odorizzi, it seems Anderson’s struggles have bumped him from the front five. He’ll join the Gwinnett Stripers and try to get things back on track.
The move isn’t likely to have a huge impact on Anderson from a service time perspective, at least in the short term. He came into this season with one year and 94 days of service time and has added around 120 more days here in 2022. Even if he were to spend the rest of the season in the minors, he’d finish the campaign somewhere around 2.025. That would still put him on track to reach arbitration for the first time after 2023 and free agency after 2026, though future optional assignments could also alter that timeline.
The recall of Tromp was required due to a leg injury sustained last night by Travis D’Arnaud. Although X-rays were negative, per Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, D’Arnaud will likely be unavailable for a few days. That leaves William Contreras as the primary catcher, with Tromp stepping in as the backup.
I’m sorry WHAT
Option. Not release or DFA.
They’ve been terrible. Why is this so shocking? Lol. Like really bad
Well deserved and overdue demotion. Anderson has been awful
Why on earth did the angels not pay like 7m of Iglesias and get Anderson?
Because ATL isn’t giving up on a guy that has a career postseason record of 4-0 1.26 ERA in 35.2 IP. Yes, he’s looked bad, but let him stay warm, preserve his arm and bring him back up in Sept.
Anderson has proven to be a relatively strong and controllable rotation arm that’s been struggling ever since right before his shoulder injury last year. Iglesias is an aging and expensive bullpen arm. If it’s a decision on one or the other, you roll the dice on the young first rounder. Zero reason to give up on him yet…..
Now that said, if I’m being honest, if Ian doesn’t get the rest of the year off to rebuild/rest his arm, long term I see him and Davidson being similar pitchers as where they land. Ie, both 4th or 5th starters in a rotation. So you got a sweet deal out of this. Free up case and a prospect with a high floor yet low ceiling. Not a bad day for the angels…
Thank god Ian has been so bad
Whoa. Didn’t see that one coming.
Why? The writing has been on the wall all year with anderson and he’s been quite terrible honestly. Idk what it is, but ever since his shoulder injury last year, he hasn’t been the same. Velo is down. Spin rate is down… it’s all been ugly. Hope he’s has time to rest then rebuild that arm.
I did.
He will be called up soon. They need an extra pitcher. Anderson is likely headed on a downpath in his career. He was a strikeout guy in the minors and lost all of that in the majors while maintaining his inability to throw strikes at both levels.
Just maybe if they resigned Freeman and kept prospects, they would have acquired a starter this deadline (and an outfielder). Now the Braves are stuck with one of the worst outfields in baseball. If Harris was not there, it is the worst. They are stuck with a tier 2 first baseman who they didn’t need.
It is no coincidence the Braves lost the division the same year Freeman moved on. I guess people are excited about the Braves moving up on the payroll list but that means absolutely nothing until they actually spend outside of internal options. The Mets will continue to buy there way to wins with Manfred and the replay umps overlooking and making sure to give the Mets as many wins as possible.
Replay umps lol okay Mr salty. Mets have outplayed the braves all year and have a huge advantage In starting pitching and closer and better situational hitting. But hey blame it on replay and buying our way. Lol that’s more dodgers and padres not us
Mets lead the Dodgers and Padres in salary this year.
Now back out Cano…
Bk11235, sorry, maybe I’m a little confused about your ever so frugal Mets. Help me out, what are we considering spending $43 million on one single player these days?
It’s the Mets they will find a way to choke they always do.
One of your two “huge advantage” pitchers couldn’t pitch in the playoffs last year, and the other is beginning to feel the perennial injury bug. Settle down, it’s early.
Actually, the Braves have Ozuna, he can “hit” or “choke” when the situation calls for it, sadly
The Braves will catch the Mets by the end of the month. They certainty haven’t “lost” the division.
They certainly don’t have to worry about the Phillies, that’s for sure.
I think so too but at this point, it is tough to watch. The fact that the Mets have not lost 1 series against the East says enough how lucky they been too. Doesn’t matter how good you are, everything as to go your way for that to happen. It is also ridiculous how yesterday I mentioned how the umps always give the Mets the calls on close plays on replay and oddly, we saw it again in the night game. That way is similar to that Philly game last season except this time they overturned the call. It is clear and convincing enough as long as it hurts the Braves.
I don’t know. There’s going to be a year where LOL Mets will end. This might be the year.
I agree dark side. A little over 50 games left and the Mets have a 5 1/2 game lead. Too early too throw up the white flag. Ian should have been optioned a couple starts ago. I like the guy but he needs to figure things back out. Hopefully Ynoa finds some magic he had last year at times and avoids punching immovable objects.
How are you all always so certain that the Braves will catch the Mets?
Mets:
-better record
-better run differential
-much better record against teams over .500
-more home games remaining
-a very weak schedule in September (seriously, go look at it)
-7-4 record against the Braves
-just got deGrom back
I mean, it could definitely still happen, but no idea where your confidence comes from. Y’all should be more worried about the Phillies catching you than winning the division.
Luck? You win a series based on better play. Deal with the fact that this is a very good team. Damn you sound like a child
You should take a look at the schedules for the rest of the year. BTW – Scherzer, deGrom and Bassit for the Phillies series with Peterson pitching game 2 of the double header. See you soon too
More than a few calls were bad, but the umpiring did not pin 4 losses on the Braves. Read the boxes, 19 Ks with 2 hits, the game before 5 in the order with 2 Ks each did it. Not making contact and not putting the ball in play is what killed Atlanta. The Mets did the opposite- consistently- and made things happen – all kinds of cheap hits, fluke plays, a good bit of luck, but their hitting is noticeably superior to the Braves.. Unless some BIG change comes from at least 4 spots in the Braves order, its going to be a short play-off this year.
Sounds like something we heard 100x last year about their offense. Regardless, the Braves need to revamp their outfield and build around Harris.
Ha ha ha ha….cry baby!
“The fact that the Mets have not lost 1 series against the East says enough how lucky they been”
Or it shows how good they have been.
One year, the Mets had a 7 game lead over the Phillies with 17 games to play and blew it. Poor Willie. Looked like a deer in the headlights those last three weeks.
You sound nervous.
means absolutely nothing until they spend outside of internal options. but ya resign Swanson
Freeman chased money. Olson has put together a solid season as good as what Freeman had.
The Braves will win long term in both payroll and performance taking Olson over freeman
Freeman got less money annually than Olson. It is still unbelievable how people still devalue how important Freeman is/was to this team. Olson is no where near in Freeman’s level in any facet. It is the same people who are still convinced Acuna is a superstar. The Braves won a ring without him in the lineup. The Braves will likely never win on with Acuna, however.
Acuna is a mental headcase who will be a problem for this team going forward, mark my words. He has already been throughout his career and continue to be. He is a very solid player and better than most on paper, but he is not a guy who the Braves can rely on on the field. Swanson and Riley thankfully are there (Swanson hopefully long-term too).
Bro you can’t be as dumb as you sound. Acuna prior to blowing out his knee was a shew-in for mvp. Woulda been at least an 8war player. He was a top 3 to 5 player in the league who any gm would trade his first born to get. A true 40/40 type player who is a nightmare for the opposing team. But he is still a kid, and had a devastating knee injury. He’s also emotional. which is an issue at times. That knee is still probably not 100% which probably explains his sub performance up to now. But to say that he is a loser is ridiculous. If by this time next year he isn’t performing like the old Acuna, then we’ll see. But in the meantime give him some slack.
I’ve heard it all before but looks like people are still in denial and looking to find excuses for Acuna. Skill is not the problem with him. His head is and that is something that the team cannot control. You can wait for him to be relevant again, I’ll just wait for the headline in a few years ascertaining what happen to Acuna post ACL.
The Braves lost their mojo. It was passed down from Chipper Jones to Freddie Freeman and is now in the Dodgers clubhouse.
Your wrong Freeman gets 27 million a year and Olson will get 22 million a year. That really adds up over 6-7 seasons.
Difference Olson wanted to be a Braves and Freeman played a money game bluffed Atlanta and lost.
Olson is in the top 10 in home runs and runs batted in. Contract will look better and better for Atlanta as Freeman ages and Olson gets more into prime.
Lost? He’s 40 games over .500, making 27 million and playing in front of his family in a much nicer place. I’d say he won big time.
I would reserve judgment on anything about who is what with this new play off format anything can happen.
If the dodgers win the World Series this year than you can say they got this or that until then post season is too wide open to make predictions
“You’re”, not “your”. You must be from Atlanta.
Freeman 4.5WAR. Olson 2.3
Im not calling that a solid season as good as what Freeman had
Olson has not been very good. You can cherry pick stats like HRs and RBIs ( didn’t realize people still used this as a metric to measure individual accomplishments), but he’s worse than he was last year and I’d imagine worse than what the Braves FO expected. He’ll likely finish the year as a slightly above average player (3 fWAR).
Even when ignoring numbers, if you watch the games, there is no comparison between the two. Olson compared to Freeman is bad. Olson compared to other 1st baseman is solid at best.
You should make an eye appointment. Don’t be a sore loser pal
“Their”, not “there”. Check your grammar dummy.
Trust me the Braves can afford to spend what the Mets spent. They choose not to.
? How exactly are they the worst outfield. Rookie of the year candidate in center hitting like a vet and playing platinum defense, an all star in right that will break out of his slump, and Rosario in left who had been great since his eyes were fixed.
Can you tell me an exact date for when the Braves will pass the Mets in the standings? You’ve been predicting it for like two months and it still hasn’t happened yet. I’m dying with anticipation. Maybe if you give me an exact date, I can set an alert in my calendar app and forget about it until then. Thanks.
Well last year it was around May. This year might take a little longer. Next year it might be April…especially when deGrom signs with the Braves.
DeGrom is gonna be a Ranger
lmao at the idea of the Braves outspending Cohen for deGrom.
I know it must be exciting for you to finally win a division since 2015. No team will ever win their division every year, so the Braves time is up. If the Mets get it, great. The good news is the Mets are truly not as good as they are playing. If the Marlins, Nats, and Phils keep improving, the division changes over night. Running through their division like the Mets have all year is not sustainable. Call it what you want, but the Mets luck will run out as some point. Whether it leads to a non-first place finish is a different story.
“The good news is the Mets are truly not as good as they are playing.”
You’ve been saying this for months and have not provided anything in the way of proof. Which players are playing over their heads? How are they lucky?
Been in first place since day one and still there in August, yet all you do is post negativity about them.
And it’s super hilarious to see Braves fans act like their team is a dynasty or a perennial winner or something. Bottom line is the Braves have won two championships since 1957 and five in their 147 year existence.
Mets are in first. Cope.
I’ll also add:
Record against teams at or above .500:
Mets – 30-22
Braves – 21-25
But right. It’s the *Mets* who are lucky.
Just stop. Your team went on a winning steak in June playing sub-.500 teams. They just lost 4 out of 5 to the Mets and struck out 19 times today.
Perhaps they catch them, but the Braves looked shell shocked in the dugout after tonight. They got steam rolled, plain and simple.
You can’t be 31 games over .500 being “lucky”. It means your good.
The fact that we are in April and the Mets have yet to have a hiccup all season. I guess losing all 4 games against the Astros was one but its been smooth for them all season. The Mets, of course, also happen to be the first team to beat the Braves and hand them 3 straight losses. Everything is going there way this season. Who knows, maybe that is it the final positive moment left for this Mets this season. There are 7 games remaining in ATL.
*in August.
Regardless, I’m not surprised the Braves are giving away the division anyway. The moment they let Freeman go, it was over for them. Thankfully, Riley is taking his steps forward and may be taking over the team as their best hitter. The Braves deserve to lose by letting Freeman walk. Luckily, they go a championship to ease the blow a bit.
lmao, big cope, loser. Mets just dominated the Braves and the Braves don’t have another cake stretch of games like they had last month. Braves will finish in 3rd behind the Phillies.
Once the playoffs start (regardless who plays who) you will realize who cares about the division. Trust me, as a Braves fan, I’ve seen enough division titles with postseason failures. I don’t care if the Braves win the division or not because it is useless. If the Mets hang on, you will realize the same thing. If the Mets win the division, congrats on winning it. Trust me, I don’t care as much as a used to. They were not going to win it every year.
I do love Strider though and the fact he was not afraid to call the Mets out on being lucky himself.
* In other words, once the division title celebration is over, no one cares anymore about it. You either win the WS or you don’t. That is what will matter. When the Mets lose, guess what? Next season, the Marlins, Nats, Phils will only get better. Competition will change. The current construction of this Mets team is good enough to win now, but I’m sure you will agree it will not be the same next year.
BTW, this site is super glitchy now. Can’t edit at times.
Mets have been truly lucky. This 5 game series with a lot the Mets got a crazy number of weak contact infield singles. The Mets lead baseball in infield hits.
Last year when the Braves played the dodgers in the regular season all the breaks went the dodgers way than in playoffs all the breaks went Atlanta way.
The one major thing the Mets are lacking is the power bats of the Braves; dodgers; padres and Phillies. Those teams have more of a chance of a 3 run home run to either get back in the game or blow the game out than the Mets do.
Mets are better, deal with it. You won last year, don’t be bitter.
Lucky 70 times this year? You’re an idiot.
Braves will finish in 3rd behind the Phillies this year. Deal with it.
“The fact that we are in April and the Mets have yet to have a hiccup all season”.
You’re proving the point that the Mets are good you moron.
And he has a cool mustache too. You are as big a whiner and loser as he is.
Mets X-W/L has them at 66-43…so there’s one example of how they are benefiting from sequencing (lucky).
Strider has a good arm, but that was a douchebag comment. The Mets outplayed the Braves in every aspect except the long ball in this series. Just tip your cap and move on.
Braves struck out 19 times yesterday and had 3 base runners and this guy is saying they lost cos the Mets had lucky contact and not because they couldn’t touch Degrom and Diaz
Mets make contact, creating opportunities for “good luck” to occur. Mets play very good defense and are fundamentally sound, creating less opportunities for other teams to score. Plus Mets have strikeout pitchers against a league that loves to strike out. This all historically would be referred to as “good baseball” and usually leads to winning. In conclusion, there were no surprises this weekend and there shouldn’t be further confusion going forward the rest of the year.
They are 71-39 and Degrom pitched 11.2 innings . Lol that’s all you need to know to know that they are for real.
Strider called the Mets out for being lucky he could have also said something about his team striking out 70% of their at bats and for them to get it together. Which is the real reason they lost bc the Mets pitching dominated them.
With the new playoff format just get in and see what happens. With 3 wild card teams per league I am sure we will see some division winners get knocked out by wild card teams.
For example if Phillies get in as a wild card and get to World Series that is going mean for for revenue and fan base than if the Mets win the division and get knocked out in the Mets first series.
Baseball is a game about timing and staying hot. Not sure it really benefits a division winner to sit out the first series and than have play against in 4-5 days. We have seen some teams get hot in playoffs sweep wag to the World Series than not be the same team as they had to wait 4-5 days. Perfect example of that was the year the Rockies faced the Red Sox. That Rockies team in the World Series was cold from sitting.
Did you clowns even watch the series? The Braves got outclassed in every aspect of the game. The Mets starters were better, their bullpen was better, their offense was better, their defense was better, their baserunning was better, their preparedness, fundamentals and baseball IQ was better, they were managed better. The Braves couldn’t hold a lighter to the Mets in any category this series. What exactly has to happen for you to wake up? It’s like your banging your head against the wall but you insist that it’ll stop hurting eventually. Congrats on the WS last year, but things are clearly different now.
Perhaps This Was inevitable, but Ian Anderson is probably a Stand Up guy, and the move might Benefit him. You never can Tull.
This is an A comment.
I wonder if there were snots running down his nose after he heard the news
I guess it’$ best to keep that Under Wraps.
Ian Anderson said “I really don’t mind if I sit this one out.”
Loving all these references, thank you everyone:-)
My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT.
That’s all fine everyone, but where the hell was Biggles when I needed him last Saturday, huh? Anyone? ….I thought so…
Ian’s skating on the thin ice of a new day
can someone explain why thomp is being called up ? why do we need 3 catchers and no heredia?
Maybe they will put Ozuna on waivers and use Contreras as DH. (Wishful thinking)
Heredia was batting less than .150. It’s amazing he lasted as long as he did. He struck out almost 50% of his at bats.
Thomp is being called up because they finished the recount in AZ, and it turns out Thomp won! LOL!
He did win in Arizona. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan too.
When was the last time you needed a suitcase to bring your vote to the polls?
You keep on believing Snowflake that Joey Boy actually got 81 million LEGITIMATE votes.
@Backup Catcher: Donny Not-Baseball was obviously in on The Fix. Or he would have taken steps to do something about it.
It’s a 100%-rigged zero-party system.
Only a moron would believe, without a single shred of proof, that our elections were rigged.
Not a fan of Biden, but he got 81 million legitimate votes and beat Trump. Join us in reality and deal with it.
So you’ve got no proof of anything and I’m a paid agent. Hilarious.
@rct: What you say is exactly what Paid Agents say, and what you do is exactly what Paid Agents do.
Anyone Awake knows that there are millions of Paid Agents, hired to spew their mocking, deceiving, bullying crap, wherever they happen to be, all over the internet, all day every day.
Damn he fell quick.
Travis has a leg injury …. Plus honestly, our catchers are easily top 9 or better hitters on the team. Be nice to play both every day under some fashion .
Travis should learn to get off the tracks when the Polar Bear Express is coming through.
Why? He made the play and tagged him out. It was undebatable that he never touched the bag and was tagged out. Why have replay when they will go with the mets almost every time? lol
His cleat very clearly hit the plate prior to the tag. The review team has the ability to look at frame by frame. The Mets broadcast clearly showed the clear hit and that is what the crew saw to overturn the call. Just because the Braves broadcast didn’t reveal that or you were blinded by fanaticism doesn’t mean the call was wrong.
Now, let’s educate you. The play where Nimmo was not tagged out and the ump called him out should have resulted in awarding him second base by rule. He never made an effort to get to the base because he was called out. Precedent was set earlier this year on the exact same play in Miami. The only call that was blown went you way and you STILL gave up the runs and lost.
The umps didn’t strike out Braves hitters. Mets pitchers did. The umps didn’t make Travis hesitate on a ground ball – he did that on his own. The umps didn’t strike fear into the Braves and force them to kick the ball around. Braves got served
@bryan c
That deserves a mic drop. Well done.
The Rays could use Ynoa’s power in our lineup…can he play the outfield?
He was rushed to the bigs due to the Braves rotation problems in 2020.
#Boned
If he stayed on the roster all year would he have enough service time for super2 status?
Hence down he went.
The cheerleaders going to the minors too
Seems like the right time to send down Ian Anderson and work out his issues with Odorizzi in tow. Ian had a fabulous playoffs last year, so let me find himself and bring him back up when he’s ready. A reset for him will be good. Ian can still end the year on a high note.
Both the Mets and Braves are playoff bound regardless of their series but the Mets have been playing better baseball and deserve to be in 1st place.
Braves fan blaming the umpires in these posts and claiming things are fixed in the Mets favor, stop the whining already.
When is spending money to win wrong. It seems only when the Mets are doing it from some of these posts.
I’m surprised and cheered by the move. Anderson couldn’t hold an 8-run lead for five full innings Friday night. He has to become a more efficient pitcher and if this is the kick in the pants that gets his head straighter, good.
Bring up Kyle Muller. Been great at AAA. Ain’t got nuttin’ left to prove down on the farm.
Yeah this is just a strategic roster management move. It’s still weird to see that headline!
And with luck there to help him, then he probably will (return)
I wouldn’t say the Mets are lucky. They’ve downright outplayed the Braves and the rest of the NL East in just about every facet of the game.
Don’t underestimate what not having Freeman in the clubhouse means. Bad move by the GM who likes to think he’s the Mensa guy in every room he enters. Olsen is a nice player, but he ain’t Freddie in more ways than one.
Add in losing Albies for most of the season and the right side of the infield ain’t what it was in 2021..
Moot point. Phillies gonna pass Braves at some point. Might even give the Mets a scare before its over.
Why didn’t the Angels get this guy in the Iglesias trade? Halos pretty much got nothing in return for Iglesias. What dirt do the Braves have on Minasian?
Angels just wanted to get rid of the money t
Cleared 3/48M in future contracts off the books for a team going through some kind of rebuild, which you don’t need an expensive closer for. Minasian being the former AGM for ATL knows Tucker Davidson better than most, so if he doesn’t work out — that’s on him. LAA now has 2 former ATL pitching prospect projects trying to make good in Davidson, Touki.
Braves after 4/5 series cave-in: All hands on deck! Move players around! Throw salt over shoulders! Pray to baseball gods! Blame everyone else but ourselves for the Mets dominating us! wah wah wah! Seriously narcissistic team and fan base. God bless the Mets for being real men.
BTW, for a catcher, d’Arnaud sure is a lightweight. He gets hurt so easily. Even when we had him. I hope his broken fingernail grows back quickly so he can play again. That team is a joke. They really showed themselves this past weekend for the jerks they really are.
@NYMetsFanatic The only “jerks” are some Mets fans, who despite having won absolutely zero for a long time talk ****. The Braves won a World Series last year, when you actually win something come back to this page and talk about it. As for D’Arnaud, Alonso hammered him on the play and probably nearly broke bones and you’re calling him a lightweight, how laughable and pathetic indeed, but it’s expected from some of your pathetic fanbase, and Alonso was out, another call you Mets got in your favour, and don’t tell me the review system is good, because they get it wrong a lot. You better hope you haven’t used up ALL your luck, because you just might need it with that bullpen.
The Braves won only their second championship since 1957 (five years before the Mets even existed) last year and you all act like the Braves are this juggernaut and it’s the Mets who are pathetic.
Both franchises have won two championships since Eisenhower. Knock it off with the arrogance.
@rct Arrogance? That’s for Mets fans, win nothing and talk about how good your team is. The play-offs haven’t even commenced. I haven’t said or asserted the Braves will do anything, so “YOU ALL act like the Braves are this juggernaut”, no, I didn’t assert that, but try again. One thing is certain though, the Braves have been to the playoffs far more times than the Mets in the past 36 years.
Your comprehension skills are not very good because I haven’t asserted anything on here about winning or being the best, but here are the facts.

The Braves made the playoffs 23 times as opposed to your 9 times, it is a fact and nothing to do with arrogance. 2013-2022 Braves win that category as well, at least Braves fans got to see their teams in playoffs regularly unlike SOME trash talking Mets fans.
If Ian Anderson pitched against Washington every start, we would win the Cy Young… like most other pitchers would be if they pitched against Washington every start.
Some Mets fans have no class at all and talk the greatest lot of **** on this site. I have nothing but respect for the Mets roster and Buck Showalter, he was also good when he was managing the Baltimore Orioles, but now he has a fantastic well rounded roster up and down the line. The only slight weakness might be the bullpen, but we shall see.
In Scherzer and De Grom you have two of the very best elite pitchers in all of MLB apart from Verlander. However, you Mets fans, you’ve won nothing yet, but some of you want to talk about the Braves all the time. Why? Because we actually won a World Series and beat two of the best teams in the Astros and Dodgers and you’re still dreaming about winning something. You might do it, you might not. You did beat the Braves in this series, however, Harris was safe at 2nd, called out, and Alonso was out at home and called safe. The review system is woeful and a coin toss about getting decisions right.
I hope the Braves can overcome the deficit, but that will de difficult with the remaining schedule the Braves have as opposed to what the Mets have.
Anyway Mets fans, keep talking **** because you had no luck, right? Like when Alonso chalks up his cue and rolls one off the end of his bat, it hits the 3rd base cushion and it rolls into left field and you score, there are other instances as well.
You better hope you haven’t used up all your luck, but there is a saying, good teams make their own luck, and yes you are a good team with a good roster, but don’t talk **** and say you were TOO GOOD. Both teams are very good, and right now you have the edge.. You are good at infield hits and piss hits, but that is putting the ball in play.
We will see how good you are in the play offs. If you do not win it all, then you were not as good as the Braves were-fact, and then you will have nothing to show for all your trash talk.
lmao, rip Mets fans for talking trash and then go on a multi-paragraph screed where you… talk trash and rip the Mets for being lucky instead of just a much better team. Classic.
RIP the Mets for being lucky and talking trash? Your comprehension skills are definitely not good, I said they had luck on some plays, other than that, no, you’ve been too good. However, here we are, you’ve been talking trash all season long. You’ve obviously got Braves derangement syndrome, worrying about the Atlanta Braves all day, all night, 365 days a year. However, if you don’t win it all your trash talking will have been for nought.
I haven’t trashed the Mets, but you and other Mets fans are the best manure talkers, it’s been like that for years because you’re seriously deprived.
From my view (Mets fan) Anderson seems better Odorizzi
MLB hitters starting to catch up to this guy. Looking at this BaseballSavant page, pretty much everything is in the poor range. Almost feel like he might be injured.
They may not miss him now given the way he’s been pitching. But come playoff time I’m guessing they’ll want him on a mound since he’s been so good in the postseason.
Haha man last season I really wanted to stick it to Dodger fans and media by having the Braves beat them in the playoffs. I think beating the Mets to first might actually feel better. Meh, probably not — recency bias….but damn it will feel good.
I will say it again though, I love Strider. Thank you for not being afraid to call out facts. Too bad most other pitchers don’t speak their mind and try to be politically correct to not offend media like Strider offended the Mets media.
Hopefully, if he faces them again, he breaks the Mets hearts with his thighs.
“Thank you for not being afraid to call out facts.”
He didn’t. He whined and offered his baseless opinion that the Mets were lucky and had the umps on their side. Instead of being an adult and tipping his cap to a team that just owned him and chased him after 2 2/3 innings and nearly 80 pitches.
No facts, just whining. Embarrassing quotes from Strider.
Quite funny since it was pretty much what I’ve been saying prior to the series and this time it came out of the competitions mouth. I know you Met fans need your validation and can’t handle that certain people know that the Mets are not as good as their record indicates.
Also be careful about being overconfident. The Yankees finally hit their skid after being dominant all year. The Mets are due for one as well. Every team goes through it in a 162 season.
Even if the Mets aren’t as good as their record indicates, they’re still better than the Braves and have been in 1st since day one. Wake me when guys like Strider stop whining and actually pass the Mets. Until then it’s just sour grapes from Braves fans.
He didn’t offend anyone. He sounds like a little B. Buy a skirt to cover those strider legs. Riley said you were coming for us. We were waiting. More chalk board material? Thanks lil guy. 79 pitches in 2.2 innings is bad bro
Nothing like getting your juices flowing because your competition believes they can still win the division they owned since 2018. Sounds like the Mets ego is fragile. Actually, more like insecurity if you ask me. I mean we are talking about a team with the wealthiest owner who blatantly said he is ok with buying a ring. It is like a bully beating a bunch of disadvantaged people and gloating how they are the strongest in the yard.
lol at you saying Mets fans are insecure when your Braves are literally World Champs right now but you’re still here trying to convince people over the last two months that the Mets aren’t as good as them.
I do believe the Braves are better on paper, but I’m not convincing anybody that they are better than anyone. The Braves created this problem by not resigning Freeman and they deserve to be bottom dwellers if that time comes.
You sound insecure. Not us. We are 8-4 against you. Strider is 0-2 against us. We didn’t cry when we lost our leads in the past. We didn’t cry when the Astros kicked our butt.
Mad Max comment – we know who they are. They are an excellent team and we know we need to keep playing our best to beat them
Strider – I lost my sippy cup and my arm hurts after throwing a combined 179 pitches to the Mets while getting a whopping 22 whole outs and giving up 9 runs
Rook should learn from a Hall of Famer how to act
I think Max is smart enough to not say anything negative about the Braves knowing they beat him in the CS. That does not mean he believes what he says, you know and so does everyone. Max is one of the biggest competitors in the sport; however, like most he is not going to say something that may lead him to bite his tongue. I still don’t see anything wrong with Riley’s comment. As for Strider, he probably should have kept it to himself, but as I said, I want my players to speak their mind not say things that other people want them to say. I’m sure you like that too.
You sound like a child lol. “Speak their mind” the Mets put the ball in play the Braves struck out 19 times in 9 innings. They lost bc they didn’t hit the Mets pitching not because the Mets were lucky. Having 3 base runners all day and striking out 70% of the time is a recipe for losing to good teams.
Too little too late. Seasons over already
Marlins, para cuando lo mismo con Rogers? He’s starting rehab now… why don’t keep him down there for a while?
Cabrera and Luzardo are looking good so far back from the IL. No room for Rogers as of now.
Typical Mets fans bashing a Braves fan in the face, 3 on 1. Classless trashy Mets fans as I said.

Well deserved!
@skoobehtnititupnacuo
If you think 3-1 is fair, and being coward punched, of course, what utter cowards.
Don’t waste your time on them Fred. Just the usual internet tough guy Mutts trolls. Expecting them to engage in a civil conversation isn’t likely to happen. They’re drunk w/their new found success.
Tromp is going to make Atlanta great again
