It's such a simple concept, I don't know why you guys keep starting these threads wrong. Mets send out a may day, flash the bat signal. Matt Harvey is here to save the day.

Washington at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, May 1, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. A high-octane pitching matchup is on tap as the New York Mets send ace right-hander Matt Harvey to the mound against Max Scherzer and the visiting Washington Nationals on Friday in the second of a four-game series. Harvey looks to win for the fifth time in as many starts and put an end to New York's three-game losing streak. Washington ended the Mets' perfect 10-0 start at home with an 8-2 victory in the series opener and goes for its fourth consecutive victory behind Scherzer, who signed a seven-year, $210 million contract in the offseason. Bryce Harper had three RBIs for the Nationals, who have amassed 34 runs over their last three games. However, center fielder Denard Span (soreness) exited in the sixth inning after going 7-for-12 with two homers and four RBIs over his previous two games and will sit out Friday. Washington has owned New York at Citi Field, winning 15 of the last 16 meetings. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MASN (Washington), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Max Scherzer (1-2, 1.26 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (4-0, 3.04) Scherzer skipped his last turn due to a thumb injury sustained in his previous outing, a loss in which he allowed two runs on six hits over seven innings versus St. Louis. Scherzer has a losing record despite permitting only four earned runs while striking out 29 and walking four in his four starts. Scherzer dominated the Mets at Citi Field on Aug. 24, 2013, striking out 11 and giving up three hits in six scoreless innings. There were concerns over Harvey's availability in his last start due to a mild ankle sprain, but he limited the Yankees to two runs in a season-high 8 2/3 innings to earn his fourth straight victory. Like Scherzer, Harvey owns a stellar strikeout-to-walk ratio, fanning 31 while issuing three free passes over 26 2/3 innings. Harvey struck out nine and held Washington to four hits over six scoreless innings in his season debut. WALK-OFFS: 1. National C Wilson Ramos drove in a pair of runs Thursday and extended his hitting streak to six games. 2. The Mets placed RHP Rafael Montero on the 15-day disabled list and said 3B David Wright will remain on the DL for at least another week. 3. Harper has reached base in a career-high 16 straight games.

Mets win an odd camera-angle challenge... nice!

That Nieuwenwhiff sucked, but I'm taking his baldfaced visage as a good omen. I salute the baldface in boldface!

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:10 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

The no-doubles defense has Cuddy as deep as Eric Young.

TheOldMole May 01 2015 07:12 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

Ballpark holds it, and Familia to the rescue.

Ashie62 May 01 2015 07:13 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

No need to pull Harvey here, sac up Terry.

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:14 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

Harvey's gone. Terry couldn't hook Torres fast enough, huh? Five-out suave attempt happening. We're maybe lucky Ugglla didn't taggla.

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:17 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

Man. This would be a nice one to win.

d'Kong76 May 01 2015 07:18 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

And a sucky one to lose.

Granderson needs to walk even more.

Want some serious Duda action right now.

Don't like catchers whose gear is the same color as their uniform.

WOW what a break there to have Werth fall on his tuchas.

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:30 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

Holy shmapp!!!! In retrospect, the Nats would question the wisdom of starting Lurch in left field.

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:32 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

The JA-SON taunt is less than classy, fans.

I'd taunt him.

2:29 of raw beauty.

Edgy MD May 01 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

Worth noting that that Cuddyboom is likely a double in 2014. I'm not certain Werth catches the Murph shot if he stays on his feet.

d'Kong76 May 01 2015 07:54 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

I didn't think it was much of a Werthmuff

Frayed Knot May 01 2015 07:56 PM Re: IGT #24 5/1 May Day, May Day vs Nats

THOUGHTS ON THE GAME!!!! 1) Scherzer probably isn't any more intense than Harvey, but he's certainly more overtly intense. 2) Duda led off innings twice. Would have been a good time to bunt against the shift, especially when facing a pitcher like that. 3) Does Murphy get that tag down as quickly as Dilson (on the Harper play)? I'm betting no. 4) I was reasonably sure that Grandy was going to be out at home but was in favor of sending him anyway. 2 outs, very few hits in the game, gotta try. 5) Plawecki doesn't seem to come out of the chute all that fast on his throws but he does seem to get the ball down to 2nd in short order. It's a very compact motion that's not likely to get all out of whack. 6) I was thinking about getting Flores out of the lineup after 7 when he made the last out. But then if Murph didn't get those runs in it would have been that batting slot w/2 outs and the bags juiced in what was still a one run game, so maybe not. 7) But then he wasn't out after he made the last out in the 8th too. Of course it was a four run game by that point but I still would have done it. 8) A-Torres in with all RHBs coming up ... hmmmm. I know he's not a strict LOOGY. 9) Would be nice to have at least one hard-thrower in before Familia. At least one from the Black / Parnell / Mejia trio would suffice. 10) We've already beat Scherzer x 2 !!!!

Moreso than he looked at the end of 2014, anyhow. Frayed Knot wrote: Edgy MD wrote: I'm not certain Werth catches the Murph shot if he stays on his feet.

Yeah, I'm just saying I'm not certain. He likely does, but maybe it eludes him anyhow.
