NY Mets at Washington When: 1:05 PM ET, Thursday, September 25, 2014 Where: Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia SportsDirect Inc. The Washington Nationals enter Thursday's doubleheader with the visiting New York Mets having won nine of their last 10 games. The Nationals are battling the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the National League, so it became critical to make up Wednesday's rained-out contest even though the Mets are eliminated from playoff contention. New York had won three straight before dropping a 4-2 decision in Tuesday's series opener. Adam LaRoche hit a three-run homer in that contest for Washington, which also has a doubleheader scheduled for Friday against the Miami Marlins. The Nationals have played one doubleheader this season, taking a pair from the Chicago Cubs on June 28 by the combined score of 10-2. The Mets hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks in a twin bill on May 25 and split the pair. TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), MASN (Washington) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Dillon Gee (7-8, 3.88 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Blake Treinen (2-3, 1.94) Gee has posted a 5.50 ERA in three starts against the Nationals this season, although his career numbers against Washington (8-4, 3.51 ERA) are still solid. His last time out, Gee gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-3 loss to Miami. Bryce Harper is 6-for-16 (.375) with two homers and four RBIs against the 28-year-old. Treinen has made 14 appearances (six starts) in his brief major league career and has yielded only one home run in 46 1/3 innings. He tossed five scoreless frames against Atlanta his last time out and has not given up a run in eight innings this month. He made his only lifetime appearance against New York on Aug. 5 and allowed one run and three hits in two innings of relief. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Nationals have gone nine straight games without allowing more than three runs. 2. Nationals CF Denard Span, who leads the team in batting average (.300) and steals (31), was injured making a diving catch Tuesday and is considered day-to-day. 3. Washington holds a commanding 14-3 lead in the season series, which concludes Thursday.

Not raining there. 1-0 Mets Nats batting in the bottom of the first.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 11:26 AM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Four hits in the first seven batters. Mets looking to knock off the Treinin wheels.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 11:59 AM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Challenges on the field. The great story of our times.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:12 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Seems like a handful of these 2014 games vs. the Nats have gone this way. Mets are the better team through five, but only lead by a run or two, and then the Nats break through for five.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:19 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

And it ties up while I'm in the privy.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:22 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Hits number six and seven here in the top o' the fifth. Come on. you Mets. You... remaining Mets.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:25 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

And Muffy plates on with a DUBOOM. Two big ducks remain out there for Duda.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2014 12:26 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Every once in a while it helps to mix in an extra-base hit. Doubles > double plays

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:27 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Pitcher chased. You don't want to change pitchers with one out in the fourth in game one of a double header, but (a) it's September, and (b) Murphy was the lineup is stacked with lefties. And (c) Duda.

I was rooting for Murph to get 200 hits. That fell by the wayside. I have Lagares, Travis 'd, Herrera to check out. Nope, they're done. Oh, there's deGroms 10th win. Nope, hit the shelf kid. So somebody, tell me....why am I watching? Oh, Duda could get 30......

Nuttin' else.

In fact, with that 3-run top of the 5th, the odds of the Mets winning this game just jumped to 17%

Zvon Sep 25 2014 12:45 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Ugh. Gee gives it all back. Bad balk, but hits are the real culprit. Hey, this is an exciting game. 4-4 Mets. Centeno can throw runners out. Jeeze, 5 hits in a row?

Ceetar Sep 25 2014 12:53 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

That wasn't the first balk of the season, was it?

d'Kong76 Sep 25 2014 12:56 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Why do I feel like this one is gonna go 14 innings?

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 12:58 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

That's weird. FIRE THE BALKING COACH NOW!!!!

First balk of year, and they're talking about the Twit thing on the broadcast as we type.

I hate the "Mets @ Gnats" in the thread title. always makes me think it's an intersquad game.

Zvon Sep 25 2014 01:05 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Gee ends the season with a ERA of 4.00. Tsk, tsk. Carlyle in the 6th.

3.997! Ouch.

MFS62 Sep 25 2014 01:28 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

In case you're wondering where's Travis, ESPN has the answer: Travis d'Arnaud will be examined by team doctors Friday when the Mets return to New York. The 25-year-old catcher is unavailable for Thursday's doubleheader in Washington, D.C. due to an unspecified injury. The Mets are only saying that d'Arnaud is "banged up." It's uncertain whether he'll be able to return to action over the final weekend of the regular season. Later

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2014 01:35 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

This game looks like it's being played in front of multiple dozens of people.

Zvon Sep 25 2014 01:42 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Damn. That one view shows it but T gets in the way. We need to win this challenge.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 01:44 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

I imagine it is. September game. Rainout of a game rescheduled from the night before. No consequence in the standings. Daytime. The fact that that the Nats are division champions and a hot property is probably the only thing keeping the rosters from outnumbering the spectators. Meanwhile, c'mon, Mets! Don't make Terry have to lunch the Tovar Missle in order to win this one. Saving that particular weapon for Game Two.

Zvon Sep 25 2014 01:44 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Ugh. Bullshit. Whats the point of this review shit? That last view showed his foot clearly off the base!

Zvon Sep 25 2014 01:51 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Niiiice. den does it. No one else scores on that 'cept EYoung. You guyz really got me trained now. I always type E-Young. :)

Taking second on the throw proves to be big.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2014 01:59 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Nice base-running this inning - EYJ's steal - EYJ scoring on a short single to an OF with a good arm - MdD following up by going to 2nd - Flores legging out an IF single (he's slow, but not AS slow as we were led to believe) - MdD scoring from 2nd on on Flores's hit I like when stuff like that happens to Tyler Clippard, because he's funny-looking, because he's an ex-MFY, and because he takes forever to deliver each pitch.

d'Kong76 Sep 25 2014 01:59 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Ooops, posted this in the sellout thread ... Don't see too many runs scored from second base on an infield single. Nice, denRunning!

Zvon Sep 25 2014 02:00 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

OH-oh-ohoh. I thought that was outta there! Murph tagged that.

Would love to try and get two innings out of Familia here, and keep the alternative fresh for the second game, assuming Familia finishes the job cleanly here.

Potential tack-on rally happening.

T makes it 7-4 NY with his 32nd RBI.

Zvon Sep 25 2014 02:25 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Jeeze. DP. I think I'd be saving Mejia with a 3 run lead.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 02:27 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

I think I'd be saving him with a one-run lead.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2014 02:29 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

3-run lead in the 9th, NYM win-pct in the upper-20s here. But now with a leadoff single it inches a bit lower.

Zvon Sep 25 2014 02:30 PM Re: IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

Well, let him pad his stats, I guess. If he's any good he'll make quick work of it here, 9 pitches or so, and still be available for game 2 as well. Lead off single. Scratch that entire thought.
