Colon vs Henderson Alvarez. Let's purge the badness from our hearts and hearths, shall we?

d'Kong76 May 06 2014 12:48 PM IGT 05/06 - Mets at Marlins

NY Mets at Miami When: 7:10 PM ET, Tuesday, May 6, 2014 Where: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida SportsDirect Inc. The surprising Miami Marlins look to stay hot at home when they continue a three-game set against the New York Mets on Tuesday. The Marlins scored three times in the eighth and once in the ninth on a Casey McGehee RBI single to steal a 4-3 win in the series opener Monday night, improving to 6-1 on their current homestand. Miami's 15-5 home record is far and away the best mark in baseball. New York has lost four of its last five games but has to be pleased with the emergence of veteran Curtis Granderson. After a miserable start to his Mets career, Granderson has put together a six-game hitting streak, during which he is 9-for-23 with two home runs and six RBIs. Fellow outfielder Chris Young sat out the series opener but has virtually matched Granderson by going 9-for-22 during a six-game hitting streak of his own, scoring at least one run in each contest. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Florida (Miami) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (2-4, 5.65 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Henderson Alvarez (1-2, 3.28) Colon's see-saw season continued at Colorado on Thursday, when he followed up a stellar start one week earlier by giving up seven runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. It dropped the veteran to 0-2 with a 14.90 ERA in his last two road starts. Colon, who remains nine wins shy of 200 for his career, has not faced the Marlins since 2002, when he won two of three starts while a member of the Montreal Expos. Alvarez gave up four runs in six innings to get a no-decision against Atlanta on Thursday, his first non-quality start since April 8. The 24-year-old let up two runs in six innings at New York on April 25, which left him 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in four career starts against the Mets. After opening the season with starts of three innings and 5 2/3 innings, Alvarez has lasted at least six frames in four consecutive outings. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Mets have scored in the first inning in four straight games. 2. Miami has won 10 of the last 14 meetings at home. 3. New York 2B Daniel Murphy has at least one hit in 14 of his last 15 games.

Of such minor lat issues are major league careers launched.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 06 2014 05:19 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Well, that was an unlucky lucky bounce. Unusual way for Alvarez to face the minimum through one.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 06 2014 05:35 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Does Colon look like he's going to suck again tonight? Catching game via phone only for now.

Colon Ks. oh fer 55

Zvon May 06 2014 05:58 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Ugh. Wright ripped that.

Ashie62 May 06 2014 06:04 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

What is it with the Fish when they play the Mets.. I mean jeezuz...

Zvon May 06 2014 06:11 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Mex knows his Mets.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 06 2014 06:13 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

It's like our guys have Pete Rose money riding on whether whatshisface Alvarez can pitch a complete game. Yeezus.

Ashie62 wrote: What is it with the Fish when they play the Mets.. I mean jeezuz... The Marlins want to win too. Colon seems on top of the game, more or less, but over 40 and hefty. Definitely not pitching good enough to win with zero runs. Just jammed Stanton but the ball dropped in.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 06 2014 06:22 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

He's still getting hit a bit, but Colon's stabilized some since the first. Which is good, because an unstable Colon can lead to all sorts of messes. [Raises eyebrows] [Vamps offstage]

Zvon May 06 2014 06:24 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Okay-get on base. NOW! All of ya!

Frayed Knot May 06 2014 06:25 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Does McGehee ever hit a ball AT someone? It seems to me that his BABiP this season must be about .850* * Looking it up - .384

Zvon May 06 2014 06:30 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Murph doubles the other way. Keep it goin...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 06 2014 06:32 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

Blarg. Feels as if we're, like, scattering our own hits here.

Ashie62 May 06 2014 06:47 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

More like scratching our own t*ts...

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Does Colon look like he's going to suck again tonight? Shaky start, but definitely didn't suck. Now the bats have to start: - getting some RiSP hits - stop hitting into GiDPs

Frayed Knot May 06 2014 06:55 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

If all Abreu & Young were going to do is ground out then strike out, Terry could have left Tejada & Colon in to do that.

Edgy MD May 06 2014 06:57 PM Re: IGT May 6 Mets at Fish

EY just looked at a strike three that had a LOT o' plate. Can't imagine what you can ask Colon to do if you aren't going to even scratch a run or two out.

Trying times these last 6 days or so.

That was a nice quickie.
