00:01Another one of these bullpen
00:02games and the opener tonight for
00:04the Atlanta Braves is Jesse
00:05Chavez.
00:07This guy's been around he's got
00:08a four pitch mix but primarily
00:10he's going to throw fastballs
00:12and cutters and that slider
00:14against most right hand left
00:16handers and occasional change
00:17up and this is a game that will
00:19be very relaxed for the Atlanta
00:21Braves.
00:22A few guys have gotten their
00:23days off as they try to get
00:26ready for their first series
00:27against the Brewers three two
00:28again hit on the ground to the
00:30shortstop Dansby Swanson and he
00:32gets it over the first in time
00:33to get Nimmo and that's out
00:34number one.
00:35One down bases empty no score
00:37here's Francisco Lindor 2-2 pitch
00:39got him swinging strike three.
00:42That was a good changeup.
00:43Yeah they really beefed him up
00:45didn't they?
00:45They did.
00:46Awaits the 2-1.
00:48Lifted in the air to left field
00:49that'll send Eddie Rosario over
00:51towards the line.
00:52Hits the brakes opens the glove
00:53makes the catch and that's a 1-2-3
00:55top of the first for Jesse Chavez.
00:58No runs no hits no errors.
01:00None left.
01:00We head to the bottom of the
01:01first inning.
01:02Mets nothing.
01:03Carlos Carrasco on the mound
01:04for the Mets.
01:05He too unfortunately with the
01:08injury since coming over in that
01:09that move with Lindor of course
01:12he can have a much better year
01:13next year.
01:14Struggles in the first inning
01:15have gotten to him and a guy who
01:18can spin it and pitch a lot of
01:23off speed.
01:240-1 pitch and that's filed away
01:26play by Peterson.
01:27Something is up with his shoe.
01:29An equipment problem here for
01:31Jock Peterson.
01:33Not quite what my man at Duke did
01:35when he ran out of his shoes.
01:37Shoot.
01:39I don't think I've ever seen that
01:41before.
01:41No.
01:42Cleet has done that.
01:43No.
01:44For seven years with the Dodgers
01:46as he strikes out to start the
01:47bottom of the first inning.
01:49Jock strikes out for the fourth
01:50time in the series.
01:51One down.
01:52Here's Orlando Arcia.
01:531-2 pitch.
01:54Swing and a miss.
01:55Strike three.
01:55A slider down in the zone.
01:57And back-to-back strikeouts for
01:59Carlos Carrasco.
02:00Crowd roars for Freddie.
02:02As he climbs into the box right
02:03now on the 2nd of October his
02:06batting average is 298.
02:09Opposite field base hit for
02:10Freddie Freeman.
02:11They were in a shift on the right
02:12side so he takes it the other
02:14way and is a board with two down.
02:16Don't kid yourself as that was
02:19intentional because Freddie knows
02:21hitting 300 is special.
02:24That's foul tipped on the catcher's
02:26mid for strike three.
02:27Carrasco strikes out the side.
02:29We are done with one from Atlanta.
02:33Offering on the way.
02:34That's punched out to Dansby.
02:35Takes it on one swift hop.
02:37Goes to second.
02:38And they get the force out of
02:39Jeff McNeil.
02:40So that ends the top of the
02:412nd inning.
02:42No runs.
02:43No hits.
02:44One error.
02:44One left.
02:45We played an inning and a half.
02:46We hit to the bottom of the
02:462nd inning.
02:47No score.
02:48Top of the order now.
02:49Jock Peterson with two outs.
02:50Base is empty in the bottom of
02:51the 3rd inning.
02:530-1 and a flat ball in a deep
02:54right center field.
02:55That's hit well.
02:56This is heading to the
02:56bullpen.
02:57It is 1-0 Braves.
02:59Jack Peterson.
03:01The pearl from Palo Alto.
03:03Yeah.
03:04With his 18th home run of the
03:05year.
03:06Just maybe that back foot was
03:08giving him some issues with that
03:09shoe for a while.
03:10And he gets a new shoe and
03:11there you go.
03:12He got all that one.
03:14Drove it into right center and
03:15gives the Braves the lead.
03:17I mean he will swing at the
03:18letters and the ankles but when
03:19he connects he's got a ton of
03:21power.
03:23Orlando's sends one down the
03:24left field line.
03:25A fair ball.
03:26That kicks off the stands.
03:28Shoots out to left fielder Jeff
03:29McNeil.
03:30He fires to 2nd.
03:31Play at 2nd.
03:32And he's in there head first with
03:33a double.
03:34The runner at 2nd now and here is
03:36Freddie Freeman.
03:371-1 to Freeman.
03:38That's lined out toward center
03:39field and down for a base hit.
03:41Around 3rd and coming for the
03:42plate Arzia.
03:43Here's the throw from Nimmo.
03:44Cut off at the mound.
03:45And it's an RBI base hit for
03:47Freddie Freeman.
03:482-0 Atlanta.
03:49He's going to get some MVP
03:50considerations.
03:51He's not going to win the MVP
03:52but I'm telling you right now
03:53the year he has had if you split
03:55it apart and you see what he's
03:56done the second half.
03:57And he has been a beast with
03:59runners in scoring position.
04:01Contreras flying out to center
04:02his first time up.
04:03Awaits the 2-2 and the pitch on
04:05the way.
04:05He squares that one up and drills
04:07it to deep left field.
04:09Head ball is vaporized.
04:11A home run into the bullpen.
04:13That is now a 4-0 lead for the
04:15Braves as Contreras goes deep
04:17over the left field wall.
04:18His eighth goes 420 feet.
04:21That is great to see.
04:23First home run since June.
04:25That was a fastball way up
04:27wasn't it?
04:27Yeah it was above the letters.
04:29Wasn't even a strike.
04:31Shift to the right for D'Arme.
04:33Line drive back through the
04:34middle.
04:35Almost took Drew Smiley with it.
04:37He had to duck to get out of
04:38the way.
04:39Base hit for the Mets second
04:40baseman.
04:41That's their first hit of the
04:42ball game.
04:43Eddie Rosario will now step in.
04:44He singled his last time up.
04:46Lined over the shift and into
04:48right field.
04:48A base hit.
04:49Here comes Arcea.
04:50Here comes the throw.
04:51It's cut off and the Braves out
04:54on.
04:54They lead at 5-0.
04:56He's been unreal.
04:57I know the Braves acquired him
04:59when he was hurt and added depth
05:01but he was on fire there for a
05:04stretch of playing in games where
05:05the Braves were chasing down and
05:08holding on to first place.
05:10Indoor at the set.
05:10He'll check the runner.
05:11Now the pitch.
05:13Hit hard down to third and it's a
05:15fair ball down the left field
05:16line.
05:17Gets past the dive of Adrianza
05:18into the corner.
05:19Rosario feels around third and
05:21heading home is Conforto and
05:23Pete Alonzo aboard with an RBI
05:25double.
05:26The Mets are on the board.
05:27It's now 5-1 Atlanta.
05:29Alonzo ripping that right down the
05:31line.
05:31Adrianza tried to get it with a
05:33dive but went into the corner,
05:35rattled around and plenty of time
05:37for Conforto to score all the
05:38way from first on the double.
05:40The next pitch swung on a miss
05:42got him to chase a bad ball and
05:44McNeil has fanned twice tonight.
05:47That's a lot for him.
05:49First career play to parents.
05:51I don't think he is disappointed
05:52that he's having to bunt here.
05:54His friends in the pen looking on.
05:57Another bunt attempt and a
05:59strikeout as he bunted right
06:00through it.
06:01Two down and Jock Peterson the
06:03batter.
06:03Luke Jackson trying to show him how
06:05to do it.
06:06Two homers 13 RBIs for Arcia on the
06:09year.
06:11That's in the left center field.
06:12A base hit.
06:13Here comes Heredia with the sixth
06:15Atlanta run.
06:17Stopping between first and second
06:19is Arcia.
06:20The Braves have their five run lead
06:23back again.
06:24One out and a one-two pitch.
06:26Line to left and Rosario will not
06:29catch it.
06:31Misplays that ball.
06:32It's by and back to the track of
06:33the wall.
06:35Ladore is thinking three and he
06:37will get there without a problem.
06:39Wow.
06:39Thousandth career hit.
06:40That'll be one he'll never forget.
06:42Forto is flat out to left.
06:43Grounded out to second and single
06:45to center field.
06:46Swings and hits one in the air to
06:48really deep right field.
06:50Very deep.
06:51And that ball is back and gone.
06:53Home run Michael Conforto.
06:55A triple followed by a home run.
06:58Mets put a couple more on the
07:00board.
07:00It's now 6-3 Atlanta as Conforto
07:03blasts his 14th home run of the
07:05year.
07:05Now McCann 90 feet away.
07:071-1 the count.
07:08Pitch.
07:09Swung on and hit in the air down
07:11the right field line.
07:12Peterson giving a look and that's
07:15a fair ball.
07:16Bouncing in the corner.
07:17McCann will score.
07:18Pillar around second.
07:19He's heading to third.
07:20He's in with a stand-up triple.
07:22Pillar 90 feet away.
07:24Even closer now with one out.
07:26By the second baseman Arcea and
07:28from third base scores Pillar.
07:31It's a one run game.
07:326-5.
07:32The Mets keep it going in the
07:34ninth.
07:34Not going quietly.
07:35That'll bring Jonathan to yard
07:37of the plate.
07:37Tying run at third.
07:39Go ahead run at second.
07:41On the ground right side.
07:43Arcea to first and that's the
07:45ball game.
07:46Webb gets out of the bases loaded
07:48jam and the Braves hold on to
07:50win this one 6-5.
07:515-5.
