IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 03 2014 07:46 AM

7:10 p.m. Hoping to see David Wright continue his road to recovery, deGrom continue his ROY push, Flores and Hererra make their case to be either of next year's second basemen, Duda to continue a push to 30-90, Lagares to allay fears that he just won't hit enough, denDekker to make a case, dArnaud to hit like a real 5th hitter, and Grandy to stop sucking so much. What anb opportunity! denDekker is the local boy, having grown up in Ft., Lauderdale. deGrom is from a swampy DeLeon Springs up there near Daytona.

Against the Marlins' bullpen, after eight shutout innings from TK.

NY Mets at Miami When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Where: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida SportsDirect Inc. Juan Lagares has been sizzling at the plate since Aug. 22 while David Wright has mauled the Miami Marlins throughout the season. The visiting New York Mets hope both trends continue when they play the rubber match of the three-game series on Wednesday. Lagares recorded a career-high four hits, scored three times, drove in a pair of runs and stole two bases as New York slugged its way to an 8-6 triumph on Tuesday. While Lagares is batting a blistering .381 with 10 RBIs and nine runs scored over the last 1 1/2 weeks, Wright added three hits on Tuesday to improve to .431 with 16 RBIs in 15 games versus the Marlins this season. Miami does have a red-hot player of its own in Giancarlo Stanton, who has gone deep in both contests of the series. Stanton leads the National League in homers (35), RBIs (101) and slugging percentage (.561) for the Marlins, who reside 5 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the race for the second wild card. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Florida (Miami) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (7-6, 2.94 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Tom Koehler (9-9, 3.79) DeGrom recorded his sixth win in seven decisions after allowing one run on four hits in seven innings en route to a 4-1 triumph over Philadelphia on Friday. The 26-year-old has defeated Miami twice in as many starts during his rookie season, holding the club to just one run while striking out 15 in 14 frames. DeGrom has permitted just seven homers in 113 1/3 innings this season and could be bolstering his resume for NL Rookie of the Year honors. Koehler has settled for a pair of no-decisions in his last two trips to the mound despite yielding a total of five runs and 12 hits in 13 innings. The 28-year-old New York native has pitched well against the Mets but owns a 1-3 career mark even though he's limited the club to a .191 batting average. Koehler is 0-2 with a pair of no-decisions in four starts versus New York this season, allowing three runs and two hits in 6 1/3 frames but not factoring in the result in the last meeting on July 12. WALK-OFFS: 1. Miami LF Christian Yelich collected three hits on Tuesday and is 13-for-37 with seven runs scored in his last nine games. 2. New York LHP Josh Edgin and RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka received cortisone shots on their ailing pitching elbows on Tuesday. Both are in line to return against Cincinnati this weekend. 3. The Marlins elected to keep C J.T. Realmuto with Double-A Jacksonville as the Suns prepare for a postseason run as opposed to call up their seventh-rated prospect to the big-league roster.

Frayed Knot Sep 03 2014 06:13 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

3rd start in a row with high pitch-counts early on for NYM pitchers - and this one would be a lot worse if it weren't for very timely GiDPs And the kicker here is that, even though it's expanded roster time, we actually have a LESS deep pitching staff than we had prior to Sept 1 as the two promotions, Goeddel and that LHP from A-ball essentially, merely replaced the loss of DiceK & Edgin and aren't going to be trusted as much as those two.

ˇViva Tejada! There's your education, Tom Koehler! Having deGrom bunt = waste of a good hitter, and now a waste of a RiSP.

And speaking of wastes of RiSP... Wright is providing a LOT more renewable energy tonight than he did last night.

Stanton blown away... with a pitch thrown right past him, no less. It's not just the results deGrom gets that are so likable, are they?

Edgy MD Sep 03 2014 06:57 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

deGrom, to me, seems like Harvey's approach without Harvey's stuff, showing that the approach is workable all on it's own.

I take solace in the fact that Stanton will probably have to pay, like, a $200 ticket at least for leaving the park that fast.

Ashie62 Sep 03 2014 07:53 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

Stanton got revenge on Torres who punched him out the other night with mistakes.

Well, other than that laser beam of a HR Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? 14 pitches only for Mejia last night, so I assume he'll be available for inning #9

Edgy MD Sep 03 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

I don't like having to play the prevent defense in the ninth in this park in particular. Get that run back. That's my plan.

MFS62 Sep 03 2014 09:31 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

Flores has not only shown the ability to play short, but has actually made some eye-popping plays recently as he has become more comfortable. And his bat has really picked up. So, when I got home from work, the game was over and I checked out the box score. Tejada started at short tonight? Any reason given? Is Flores hurt? Later

Edgy MD Sep 03 2014 10:08 PM Re: IGT 9/3: deGrom v. That Ill-Educated Douchebag

He's outplayed Flores on both sides of the ball. They may want to get more looks at Flores, and they've gotten plenty, but that's no reason to bury Tejada forever. There'll be other games.

Later It was described as a "spot" start by some announcer, I forget who, before the game, but I thought maybe TC was asking Flores to sit down one night and rethink his baserunning strategies of the night before.
