IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

Ceetar Apr 17 2015 05:37 AM

Bartolo Colon fresh off his solid game at the plate will start for the Mets against the Yankee-tainted David Phelps. Phelps always struck me as a Carlos Torres type, and not good as this 6th starter type. He gets his first start after 1 IP this season in the place of Alvarez.

Miami at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, April 17, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Lucas Duda is rolling at the plate and the New York Mets are along for the ride – all the way into sole possession of first place in the National League East for the first time in over three years. The red-hot first baseman looks to help the Mets match their longest winning streak since a six-game run from April 21-27, 2011, on Friday when they continue a four-game home series against the Miami Marlins. Duda, who is 12-for-26 over his last six contests, delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning of Thursday’s 7-5 series-opening win over the Marlins to highlight a 3-for-4 performance. The victory kept the Mets undefeated at Citi Field (4-0) while also allowing Duda to post his fifth multi-hit effort in six games and increase his batting average to a team-high .395. Miami saw its modest two-game winning streak come to a halt, but 2014 NL Hank Aaron Award winner Giancarlo Stanton belted his 155th career homer, moving him past Dan Uggla for most in Marlins history. "Enjoy it later; 3-7 is the only record I know right now," Stanton told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in reference to the Marlins' win-loss record. "I'll enjoy those when it's time for that." TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH David Phelps (0-0, 36.00 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (2-0, 2.77) Despite getting roughed up in last Friday’s 10-9 win versus Tampa Bay, Phelps will get a look as a starter after the Marlins placed Henderson Alvarez on the disabled list with right shoulder and elbow inflammation. The 28-year-old, who will return after spending the last three days on the paternity leave list, was tagged for four runs while recording only one out in his last relief appearance. Phelps had similar luck in his only turn against the Mets in 2013 as he surrendered five runs (four earned) in a third of an inning as a member of the New York Yankees. Colon was quite efficient in recording his second quality start in Sunday’s 4-3 victory at Atlanta, needing only 77 pitches over seven innings. The 17-year veteran allowed three runs on six hits and struck out five, but also made a rare offensive impact by driving in a run with a fourth-inning single – his first RBI since June 10, 2005. Ichiro Suzuki is 26-for-87 with three homers and nine RBIs in his career against Colon, who went 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in two outings versus the Marlins last year and is 3-2 with a 3.48 ERA in five all-time starts against them. WALK-OFFS: 1. Stanton has homered in four straight games against New York. 2. Marlins LF Christian Yelich (back tightness) returned to the lineup Thursday following a two-game absence, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. 3. The Mets are one of three teams without a home loss, joining the Kansas City Royals (3-0) and Detroit Tigers (3-0).

Recker is going to do something big tonight. Lags can smell the lead-off spot from there. After using him there all spring he don't get the spot for a game like this? Grandy would be just as good in the 2nd slot. K, dun bitching. I think.

Zvon Apr 17 2015 05:15 PM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

Why isn't Stanton on my current nemesis list?

Joins Hank Aaron and someone else (senility sucks) to do it five times against the Mets.

Both reports Rafael Montero sent to Las Vegas to make two starts and return to NY to start on 4/28.

Colon is on, the Mets can't get to Phelps as of yet.

The Fish will regret pulling that guy. Should have let him work thru it. It's that Dyson sucker again.

I dunno. I think I want Fammy out there in the 9th until we lose one here at home.

Oh, that was just speculation in the booth. They have a point, but I look at this as riding a wave. Familia to close.

Nice game. Colon is winning me back to his side. I'm not sure how I manage in yesrs when we don't have the best centerfielder in baseball.

I believe that in some states, in-laws preventing you from posting on the CPF is considered cause for justifiable homicide. Consult a Lawyer if you're not sure. Later

Gwreck Apr 18 2015 07:36 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

It's a bit of a struggle, really. To be fair, I don't hate Billy Joel, and given how low the bar was set in the past with things like "Sweet Caroline," this is certainly an improvement of sorts. I just wish the singalong could be an upbeat song instead.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2015 07:43 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

Kind of indifferent to it myself. I objected to 'Sweet Caroline' simply on the blatant and unimaginative copy-cat nature of the whole move and I wonder now how much brain-storming went into the process before they came up with Piano Man ... "we've got to find us a song with a sing-along chorus and nobody leaves this room until we have one!!"

d'Kong76 Apr 18 2015 07:46 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

Not entirely a depressing song but certainly more of a downer than an upper. I'm gonna do the chicken dance when I'm there and they play it.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 18 2015 07:59 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

The obvious sing-along choice for Mets games is Meet the Mets, with the full "butcher and baker" lyrics.

Edgy MD Apr 18 2015 09:13 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

Sure, that. Or any of a dozen Ramones songs. Or "Good Lovin'." Or "Rock Box." Or "Cecilia." O, I don't know, "Mr. Brightside." The logic that "Mets" means "Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island" and "Q/B/LI" means "Billy Juckets" and "BJ" means "Piano Man" is just so lazy. Even "You May Be Right" or "Sometimes a Fantasy" or "All for Leyna" would have been thoughtful.

Ashie62 Apr 18 2015 10:22 AM Re: IGT #11 4/17 vs Marlins: Colon Home Opener

I don't see the need to attach to the Mets to any one artist on a daily basis. Then again I don't care much for Billy Joel. And at least it is not Kate Smith.
