IGT #17 4/24 "Home" Home Opener @ NYY

Ceetar Apr 24 2015 07:15 AM

If we're taking/took back New York, then any game in NY is technically a home game right? The Mets haven't lost in the Bronx since June 10th of 2012. They're riding a 4-game winning streak in that building, and since we know this Mets team goes to at least 11, it should be a cake walk right? At least, a cake walk for C.C. Sabathia who purposely came to camp fat despite the rest of the team dieting. It's Jacob deGrom against Michael Pine Tar Pineda and it seems to be a chilly day so expect to get a little sticky. The Yankees acquired Pineda for Jesus? Montero who was gonna be a stud catcher until he wasn't, and David Phelps, who we faced earlier this week.

NY Mets at NY Yankees When: 7:05 PM ET, Friday, April 24, 2015 Where: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York SportsDirect Inc. The white-hot New York Mets have added extra spice to the upcoming edition of the Subway Series, taking the best record in baseball and a franchise record-tying 11-game streak into the Bronx on Friday in the series opener against the New York Yankees. The Mets finished off a sweep of Atlanta on Thursday to complete the first perfect 10-game homestand in club annals and match their best start through 16 games at 13-3. "It's a lot of fun in here right now. It's a lot of fun to be a Met," said second baseman Daniel Murphy, who drove in four runs in Thursday's 6-3 victory. While the Yankees can't match the gaudy numbers of their cross-city rivals, they are on a roll of their own after concluding a 7-3 road trip by taking three of four from Detroit. The Yankees have won six of seven, including the final three versus the Tigers, who owned the league's top record entering the series. "The stadium should be rocking," Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. "Our fans are ready and their fans are ready, too." TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, WPIX, WFAN PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (2-1, 0.93 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Michael Pineda (2-0, 5.00) There has been no sophomore slump for deGrom, who yielded a two-run homer in the first inning of his season debut and hasn't allowed a run since. The reigning National League Rookie of the Year struck out eight in seven scoreless innings versus Miami on Saturday after blanking Philadelphia for 6 1/3 innings in his previous turn. DeGrom was a 1-0 loser to the Yankees in his major league debut, giving up one run on four hits. Pineda followed up a shaky performance at Baltimore by winning his second straight start at Tampa Bay last time out, permitting three runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. He was knocked around for five runs on nine hits but also had a season-high nine strikeouts in a 6-5 victory over the Orioles. Pineda, who will be making his first start versus the Mets, was 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA in six outings at Yankee Stadium last season. WALK-OFFS: 1. DeGrom is riding a scoreless streak of 18 1/3 innings. 2. Yankees CF Jacoby Ellsbury, who scored both runs in Thursday's 2-1 win, is 4-for-27 lifetime against the Mets. 3. The away team has prevailed in the last six meetings while the Mets have won four straight at Yankee Stadium.

CHEAP HOME RUN ALERT: two different local meteorologists report that the wind should be blowing out at 10-15 mph (with gusts higher) to right tonight.

Tough to hit cheap homeruns when deGrom will be striking them out instead.

WPIX. It's usually the other way around but only by like 5/10 seconds. I rebooted it and now it's only around 40 seconds. CRAP! Well, I predicted a 5-3 Mets win, so, they got their 3.

Not sure what he's waiting for here. Another fucking homer? It's enough. Why stop at 6? Let's have him let up 8 or 9 runs and make a comeback impossible.

Put the Garden Gnome in for the 4th inning.

Frayed Knot Apr 24 2015 06:07 PM Re: IGT #17 4/24 "Home" Home Opener @ NYY

I counted ONE swing and miss for deG over 3 innings. I don't know what his usual rate is but I'd be willing to bet it's normally one of the higher ones in the league. The Yanx, who were supposedly re-building themselves as less of an all-or-nothing outfit, are looking this season like they did 2-3 years ago: a total HR-or-bust style of offense.

TC saving the pen. Might be wise. A-Rod goes down easy.

Gwreck Apr 24 2015 06:17 PM Re: IGT #17 4/24 "Home" Home Opener @ NYY

deGrom: 8 flyball/line drive outs to outfield. Compare to 1 infield popup; 1 ground ball; 1 strikeout; 1 out on the basepaths. They're not fooled tonight. I wouldn't put him back out for the 5th.

d'Kong76 Apr 24 2015 06:18 PM Re: IGT #17 4/24 "Home" Home Opener @ NYY

deGnome has like a six pitch bottom of 4th... hey, that's something! Is Jeter in the building? Gary misses him.

I have to say I did like Bernie Williams. Once at Yankee Stadium my son disappeared for about a half hour and when he finally came back he said "here Mom this is for you" and handed me a shopping bag. I thought "uhoh what did he get me Yankee-ish" and I opened it up to find a Bernie Williams tee shirt. I have to admit I loved it and wore it and some of you might even remember that many years ago I wore it for Mets luck, including under my dress clothes when I worked at the bank.

Zvon Apr 24 2015 06:36 PM Re: IGT #17 4/24 "Home" Home Opener @ NYY
