That's right, this is the Jacob deGrom's first start at home that's not the official Home Opener. he faces Mat Latos at 7:10pm Latos met his wife through his friend, who was also a minor league baseball player, and was dating and living with the girl. They now have a cat, named Cat Latos.

Miami at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Saturday, April 18, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The season may be less than two weeks old, but the New York Mets have to like what their fast start means for their postseason hopes if recent history is any indication. The Mets attempt to match their longest winning streak since taking seven in a row from May 4-10, 2009, on Saturday when they host the third of four games against the Miami Marlins. New York didn’t get a hit until the fifth inning in Friday’s 4-1 triumph, but still improved to 5-0 at Citi Field when Michael Cuddyer’s go-ahead infield RBI single in the sixth proved to be enough for Bartolo Colon. Furthermore, the victory was the team’s eighth over its first 11 games – the Mets’ best start since opening 9-2 in 2006 when they lost in seven games in the National League Championship Series in their last visit to the playoffs. One night after setting the Miami’s career home run record, Giancarlo Stanton remained a thorn in New York’s side by going deep for the fifth game in a row against the Mets, but the Marlins could muster no more offense. As a result, Miami lost in New York for the 20th time in its last 29 tries. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), WPIX (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Mat Latos (0-2, 17.36 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (1-1, 1.46) Battling through two rain delays in Atlanta on Monday, Latos was handed his second loss in as many turns with Miami, which acquired him in a three-player trade with Cincinnati in December. The Virginia native permitted three runs (two earned) over four-plus innings – a vast improvement over his season debut at home on April 7 when he was pounded for seven runs in two-thirds of an inning versus the Braves. Cuddyer (2-for-9) and Lucas Duda (3-for-14) have each struggled versus Latos, who is 2-3 with a 2.54 ERA in eight all-time starts against the Mets. The 26-year-old deGrom rebounded from a hard-luck loss on April 8 by scattering seven hits in 6 1/3 frames to get the win in Monday’s 2-0 victory over Philadelphia. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year, who gave up two runs in the first inning of his season debut, has not allowed a runner to cross since and brings a scoreless streak of 11 1/3 innings into this outing. The Stetson product went 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in four starts versus the Marlins last season, opening his last start against them on Sept. 15 with a record-tying eight strikeouts. WALK-OFFS: 1. Stanton’s club-record tying five-game homer streak against New York matches Hank Aaron and Ryan Howard for the longest such run by a Mets’ opponent. 2. Marlins CF Marcell Ozuna is expected to return to the lineup Saturday after manager Mike Redmond held him out Friday. The 24-year-old is off to a 6-for-31 start this season. 3. Mets manager Terry Collins stated that closer Jeurys Familia would likely be unavailable Saturday after recording saves five of the last six days.

2nd Saturday night game in a row - not a good idea in the north east even if you get away with it weather-wise. Mets are scheduled for just [u:i6shfrio]One[/u:i6shfrio] of what used to be the default time for Saturday games: a 1 PM start; that one is vs the Yanx in September ... unless MLB and/or the networks order the starting time switched of course. All the others are a mixture of Four PMs, some sevens, some eights, plus some tens from the west coast.

Win the series tonight. Mat Latos annoys me. He spells Matt wrong.

Duda catches it off the guy's ass! And a bad call goes against the Mets.

They're getting good wood on Latos, only just getting under the ball. Except for Duda. Siempre.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 18 2015 05:44 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

Surely this is the weekend home opener.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2015 05:54 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

So now if this call gets reversed a run is going to score because d'Arnaud assumed the inning was over.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2015 05:59 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

But now supposing Hechavarria had been a little closer to home ... would they still send him back? We're 0-fer-3 in challenges this series.

Ashie62 Apr 18 2015 06:27 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

Cy deGrom.

How many double entendres can Keith and Gary utter in one half inning? I think they're going for a record. "How many guys get their own gnome?" "I can't fit it back in the box?" ON and ON.

Ashie62 Apr 18 2015 06:43 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

That is one way cool memento.

What a strikeout.

It is so! 3-0

Wilmer goes KABOOM!!! 5-0

I know we are going to the bullpen soon. Please pick the right guys Terry.

This is fun.

There haven't been a lot of wrong picks to date, wouldn't you say? on edit: NYM bullpen numbers prior to this game: BAA .129; WHiP = 0.74; ERA = 2.12 Now those will take a bit of a jump with tonight's 8th inning run against, but that's a helluva job so far.

They could speed up games by 10 or 15 minutes simply by calling every Met player out at 1st and every opposing player safe since that's the way the calls wind up anyway.

Ok, we are going to use a pitcher with a gazoo cap. First time I have seen this.

Edgy MD Apr 18 2015 07:59 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

The cap looks normal. Let's get finished and go home.

Edgy MD Apr 18 2015 08:00 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

I take that back.

I almost went back to hat-ting baseball again, but if one of our Torreses doesn't get you we got another one waiting in the wings who will. And now I'm going to have a drink.

How much fun is this? The Marlins are already calling players only meetings, they go out and get a bunch of breaks, a guy goes 5-5, and they're losers again. Oh and they get Mat Hovvey tomorrow. Good luck with that, Basement Berthas.

themetfairy Apr 18 2015 08:50 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

What was the deal with the phantom 6th run? It was on the board and then taken away - what happened?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 18 2015 08:56 PM Re: IGT #12 4/18 non-Home Opener deGrom Home Opener vs Marli

Lagares' safe call at first was reversed after a challenge, so the inning was over and the run didn't score.

Good luck with that, Basement Berthas. And not just any guy, their speedy / leadoff / reigning base-stealing champion guy. The obvious key to this game was keeping a lid on Yelich & Stanton behind Gordon. He may have been on base all night long but he didn't score once. CY: K/DP -- K -- 1B -- K -- Game-ending K with tying run on base and youknowwho on deck GS: K -- short fly out -- K -- K
