IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Ceetar Apr 22 2015 10:04 AM

Mets haven't won since yesterday. Eric Stults vs Dillon Gee Stults sucks. Gee's due for a good game where he hits his spots. Gee's 48 consecutive starts of at least five innings is the longest active such streak in the Majors and two away from tying Doc Gooden's club record

Atlanta at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Kevin Plawecki’s major-league debut went exceptionally well, and the New York Mets have reason to believe the 24-year-old catcher will more than hold his own while Travis d’Arnaud recovers from a fractured right finger. The Mets host the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday and Plawecki figures to be behind the plate again, one night after recording two hits, scoring two runs and throwing out a base runner in the Mets’ 7-1 victory.

Atlanta has lost four of its past six after a 6-1 start, and continue to be exposed by the back end of its starting rotation. Trevor Cahill, who gave up four runs in four-plus innings Tuesday, and Eric Stults are a combined 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA. New York remains the majors’ lone unbeaten team at home, winning its first eight contests at Citi Field, and have won nine in a row overall. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves LH Eric Stults (0-1, 6.30 ERA) vs. Mets RH Dillon Gee (0-1, 7.59) An off day in the schedule provided Stults an extra day of rest, after giving up four runs on five hits in five innings during an April 15 loss to the Marlins. Stults faced the Mets in Atlanta’s home opener April 10, giving up three runs on seven hits in five innings. He has allowed three homers in 10 innings across his first two outings. Gee has struggled through his first two starts, allowing nine runs on 13 hits in 10 2/3 innings. He surrendered five runs in five innings to lose to the Braves in Atlanta on April 11, and allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings Thursday against Miami. Gee has surrendered five hits and a walk in eight plate appearances with runners in scoring position. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York RF Curtis Granderson, who came into Tuesday hitting .146, finished 3-for-5 with his first four RBIs of the season in the series opener. 2. Atlanta led the major leagues with just one error in its first 12 games, but committed two in consecutive innings Tuesday. 3. Mets’ LF Michael Cuddyer went 0-for-4 Tuesday, snapping his seven-game hitting streak.

Gee needs to stop imploding when he reaches 90 pitches.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2015 12:20 PM Re: IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Gee's 48 consecutive starts of at least five innings is the longest active such streak in the Majors and two away from tying Doc Gooden's club record Can't be all uh-oh. Of course, seeing as he's gone exactly 5 and 5 2/3 innings in his two starts so far this season... . Still they've won nine in a row, I'm high as a kite, and I'm committed to seeing the positive. As long as he doesn't grow that merkin again.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 22 2015 01:14 PM Re: IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Grandy and Muffy get the day off, Tejada at 2B and Mayberry leading off. #strategy

Suddenly, Duda is the left-handed batter we can count on most against lefties.

I predict a 28 minute rain-delayed start.

It's not doing nothing right now but off and on light rain in the forecast. They will play.

Officially a 31 minute delay, off by 3 minutes.

Would like to see Murphy run a little harder to first after that mishandled whiff to end the inning.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2015 07:38 PM Re: IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Murphy looks awful. As unselective as he generally is, when he's pressing, he'll swing at anything.

Fman99 Apr 22 2015 07:40 PM Re: IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Flores heating up this week. It's good.

Murphy can still hustle, and he didn't.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 22 2015 07:45 PM Re: IGT #15 4/22 Earth Day Home Opener vs Braves

Never thought I'd say this about a Mets team, but in a battle of the bullpen, I like our chances -- especially with the Braves' closer now a Padre.

Wilmer with more game-tying home runs in a week than Tejada's had in his career. Also hitting three times the number of homers Tulowitzski has this season.
