Nice pitching matchup. Jimenez is off to a hot start 2-1 22 innings 1.69 era... Shut them down deGrom Gnome.

The team has scored 2.4 runs per game in games he's started. Let's turn that boat around.

Baltimore at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, May 6, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets have dropped three straight series since matching a franchise record with an 11-game winning streak, but they look to complete a two-game interleague sweep of the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. New York bounced back from consecutive 1-0 defeats with a 3-2 victory in Tuesday's series opener to top the Orioles for the seventh straight time. The Mets snapped a 21-inning scoreless streak by bunching all three runs in the fourth inning Tuesday, but they have scored in only three of 34 frames over the past four games. Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis swatted a solo homer Tuesday and has four blasts and 11 RBIs in the past eight games. The Orioles set a dubious major-league record by becoming the first team to get beat by one pitcher (Bartolo Colon) with seven different squads. Baltimore's Ubaldo Jimenez opposes second-year right-hander Jacob deGrom on Wednesday. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, MASN (Baltimore), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1, 1.59 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (2-3, 3.34) Jimenez rebounded from his only loss with a stellar performance last time out, giving up two runs (none earned) on three hits over seven innings to beat the White Sox. He was also masterful in his season debut with seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball, but has lasted a combined 8 2/3 innings in his two road starts. Jimenez is 2-3 with a 3.40 ERA in six career starts versus the Mets, holding them to a .203 batting average. DeGrom didn't allow a run in winning back-to-back starts versus Philadelphia and Miami but he has been hit hard in losing his last two outings. He surrendered five runs (three earned) in 5 1/3 innings versus Washington last time out after getting knocked around for six runs over five innings by the New York Yankees. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year owns a 7-4 record and 1.65 ERA in 13 career starts at home. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets closer Jeurys Familia had his scoreless streak snapped at 8 2/3 innings but converted his 11th save in 11 chances. 2. Orioles CF Adam Jones, batting an AL-best .396, has hit safely in three straight and eight of nine games. 3. Mets 2B Daniel Murphy is 12-for-34 with nine RBIs in the last nine games.

One of the last Mets lineups without David.

Granderson with warning-track power at the 330' sign.

Dilson gets the 39-hopper RBI. Frozen rope in the box score, though.

d'Kong76 May 06 2015 06:02 PM Re: I.G.T. 5/6/15 Orioles v Mets Ubaldo v deGrom

Granderson with a FUbooom!

If berating him motivates him, I can live with that.

Booth talking about d'Arnaud to corner OF about twice a week. Speculation.

deGrom in a tough spot with Adam Jones.

In comes Brad Brach, he's the rush chairman, and he's damn glad to meet you.

WOW!! Just getting to that pitch was good stuff much less hitting it out.

Here's something that kind of stunk: Dilson's homer being ambiguous because of the railing being right up against the wall.

The Mon/Thur two days off thing kinda blows.

Frayed Knot May 07 2015 07:08 AM Re: I.G.T. 5/6/15 Orioles v Mets Ubaldo v deGrom

(Brief) thoughts on the game - So, how many rows into the seats is that first fly out by Granderson if he's back in YSIII? 6?, 15?, 75? - Dilson hit two balls hard that seemed like real good pitches (from a pitcher's perspective). The liner up the middle that went right past the pitcher's hip was smacked practically off the ground. And then the HR pitch was up and in yet he not only got around on it but drove it Not sure I'd choose either pitch selection as exhibits in a 'How-to' clinic, but both swings sure made me sit up and watch. - not sure that Familia was necessary with a four run lead and just a runner on 1st, especially seeing as how two games ago (A) Torres did the 3-K thing after coming in with the bases loaded and no outs. Not a big deal (especially with the off day) but I think Torres has earned some degree of trust and if you're not going to do it there ...

Edgy MD May 07 2015 07:21 AM Re: I.G.T. 5/6/15 Orioles v Mets Ubaldo v deGrom

I think it's about keeping Familia freshilia through the layoff. But heck, he pitched the night before. You want to keep somebody fresh, bring in Carlyle. He hadn't pitched in about a week.

Centerfield May 07 2015 07:28 AM Re: I.G.T. 5/6/15 Orioles v Mets Ubaldo v deGrom

A week? Poor batmags' mother hasn't gotten the call all season.

Oh GOD, yes. Robles and Carlyle AND Gilmartin have had plenty of time to consider planting options this fortnight.
