IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Frayed Knot May 21 2014 06:52 AM

This is my first crack at an IGT this year, so I'm here to give you not just the skinny on the game (Jacob deGrom) but also the fat (Hyun-jin Ryu). deGrom is making his 2nd ever ML start, coming off his 1 run, 4 hit, 7 inning performance vs the Yanquis Ryu is making his first since going on the DL on May 1st for "shoulder inflammation" although had already made seven starts by the end of April -- which seems odd until you realize that he started twice in March including both game #2 AND game #3 of the year for LA (their last one in Australia and then the first one back on U.S. soil). Ryu has thrown up a bagel in 4 of his 7 starts, but then 2, 6, and 8 in the other three. Lineups to follow, probably one involving many RH batters to face the LH Ryu. I'm predicting an Eric Campbell sighting.

In hopes of bringing tonights game home in under the execrable 4 hours 8 minutes of Tuesday night, NYM manager Terry Collins is going with a shortened lineup: Juan Lagares - CF Dan Murphy - 2B Dave Wright - 3B Chirs Young - LF Curt Granderson - RF Eric Campbell - 1B Wil Flores - SS Tony Recker - C Jake deGrom - P

LA Dodgers at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, May 21, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The Los Angeles Dodgers had lost nine of 14 games over a two-week span but once again a visit to Citi Field was all that was needed to snap them out of their doldrums. The Dodgers put up their highest run total since May 3 in Tuesday's 9-4 series-opening victory over the Mets, their 10th win in 11 meetings with New York and seventh in the last eight games at Citi Field. Left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu comes off the 15-day disabled list to start Wednesday's middle game of the series for the Dodgers. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is on a tear for the Dodgers, collecting three hits and a homer Tuesday to boost his totals to 8-for-12 over his last three games. Curtis Granderson had his first three-hit game for the Mets and swatted his third homer in his last seven games, but the latest setback was the 13th in 18 games for New York. Jacob deGrom makes his second major-league start hoping for a better effort than Rafael Montero, who stumbled in his second career start Tuesday. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, SportsNet (Los Angeles), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-2, 3.00 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (0-1, 1.29) Ryu will be making his first start in 3 1/2 weeks after going on the 15-day DL with inflammation in his shoulder following a rocky outing versus Colorado on April 27, when he gave up six runs in five innings. He has been superb in all four of his starts away from home, not allowing a run and yielding only 11 hits in 26 innings. Ryu stymied the Mets in two starts last year, giving up two runs and eight hits in 14 innings. DeGrom was promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas to make his major-league debut in place of an injured Dillon Gee and made a strong case to remain with New York. The 25-year-old from Florida limited the New York Yankees to one run on four hits over seven innings but wound up with a tough-luck loss in the 1-0 defeat. DeGron went 4-0 with a 2.58 ERA in seven starts at Las Vegas, striking out 29 and walking 10 in 38 1/3 innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. Dodgers RF Yasiel Puig has hit safely in 17 of 18 games, including nine multiple-hit contests. 2. Mets CF Juan Lagares is expected to rejoin the team after attending a family funeral in the Dominican Republic. 3. Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe exited Tuesday's game in the ninth inning with an apparent leg injury.

Edgy MD May 21 2014 05:16 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

How about how Puig bangs each of his muscles with the bat during his routine while stepping in?

Zvon May 21 2014 05:17 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

DeGrom with nice first, 1-2-3. Puig will always scare me everytime up for the rest of his career. Unless he becomes a Met someday. Was that Recker back there? SCHWING! 0-_ Mets

Zvon May 21 2014 05:19 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Swingin at shit Laggy.

Zvon May 21 2014 05:21 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Muffy all squeaky clean and shaved. Ropes a single over short. If it wasn't for Murphy, watching this team would be unbearable.

Zvon May 21 2014 05:31 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Damn. Gonzo gone. I thought that was a good pitch.

Edgy MD May 21 2014 05:35 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

It was. It could have been an inch more onto the hands, but... Gonzales is guessing right these days.

Edgy MD May 21 2014 05:38 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Hey, Korean New Yorkers. Ryu is the enemy. None of this Soupcan stuff.

Edgy MD May 21 2014 05:41 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Angel Hernandez strikes. The weirdest strikes in baseball.

I like Campbell in there (f-8). Might as well spell Duda now, I guess. But I'm hoping to see Duda get going and it's not easy when he's not in the lineup. Edgy MD wrote: Angel Hernandez strikes.

Zvon May 21 2014 05:50 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

DeGrom's a dart thrower. I like this guy. YEA! Thats what we needed. Line-drive DP.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:00 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Bases loaded for Grandy, 2 out.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:02 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

He K's. Pretty weak.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:12 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Centeno...that's what catchers do. Take note. Great throw by Recker catches a silly Hanley.

d'Kong76 May 21 2014 06:14 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

I think A Hernandez is at first ... booth said this guy behind the plate is a rook ... don't remember name.

I thought I heard the booth calling him Hernandez more than once. These days I see more shitty umps than not, and that sucks too.

Umpires: Home - Paul Nauert, 1B - Angel Hernandez, 2B - Adrian Johnson, 3B - Larry Vanover

Zvon May 21 2014 06:33 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

He has all our pitcher hits. Amazin'.

If they don't get this kid some runs it'll be a sin.

Two sides to that shitty ump stick.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:43 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Ugh, fuck. Puig. Wow, he hammered that. Okay, now you have to get at least three runs Mets offense.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:47 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Things going south for deGrom in the 6th. I'd like to blame the umps, but I can't. Curve right over the heart and its 3-0. See, the longer you wait, Mets offense, the worse it's gonna get.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:50 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

I feel we kinda need this one bad with Greinke going tomorrow. SO BREAK OUT THE LUMBER!!

Edgy MD May 21 2014 06:53 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

C'mon, Chris Young. Show us what Sandy saw.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 21 2014 06:53 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

It's not doing deGrom's trade value much to be vulnerable to Dodger sluggers. Damn DPs.

Edgy MD May 21 2014 06:56 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

SOUP IT UP!

Fman99 May 21 2014 06:57 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Campbell! Flores! Nice to see the guys making peanuts delivering the hits the fat cats can't.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:58 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Wow. Watching the replay. Can you believe I lost the MLBtv feed just for like 30 seconds, and come back to Campbell in the dugout. Nice.

Zvon May 21 2014 06:59 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

At least get the kid off the hook.

Zvon May 21 2014 07:00 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Bums.

Zvon May 21 2014 07:04 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

I still like what I saw from deGrom. The 3 long ones: the Gonzo homer, he can throw that same pitch all year and no one hits it out again. Puig is Puig and one curve was flat.

Ashie62 May 21 2014 07:17 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Sell Chris Young to Japan... Swap Terry Collins for Wally Backman.. This team is very flawed...

Zvon May 21 2014 07:17 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

I'll take anything here David. But a show of power would be special.

Zvon May 21 2014 07:19 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Taht'll do. Man, I wanted Muffy to score.

Frayed Knot May 21 2014 07:22 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Our recent record with bases loaded and/or two on remains perfect as Young can't get the ball out of the infield just like every other AB in the last two days.

Aw, Hyoorees. Christ, maybe they're just too polite-- even when outs are offered to these Mets, they won't take 'em.

Frayed Knot May 21 2014 07:49 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

Murphy would have been out by 35 feet or more had he tried to run on that one.

Well, yes, if he turns at that point, having run the way he did to that point. But my point is, had he been running hard on contact, I don't think he would've been as meat-y.

Frayed Knot May 21 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT - 5/21/14 -- Dodgers @ Mets

You have to remember that that throw would have been from Puig and from short RF; no relays involved.

They still gotta execute. At least make him make that throw. If Murph ran the way he did and kept on going, and if Gonzo did fire home a decent throw, yea, he was out. Tonight, I don't think it would have been an out I'd complain about. Nice Laggy. Takin 3rd.. ugh. Solo HR ties it Mr Wright.

If only NL rules didn't prohibit the Mets from getting clutch hits late.
