* road-trip salvaging...

d'Kong76 Jun 06 2015 12:30 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

NY Mets at Arizona When: 10:10 PM ET, Saturday, June 6, 2015 Where: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona SportsDirect Inc. Bartolo Colon looks to record his National League-leading ninth victory on Saturday when the visiting New York Mets continue a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Colon has won back-to-back outings and has been piling up the victories despite a rather high ERA of 4.72. The 42-year-old Colon will try to help New York set aside the woes that has seen it drop 10 of its last 12 road games. The latest was a 7-2 loss in Friday's second game of the series as Arizona's A.J. Pollock continued his torrid hitting with his fourth straight multi-hit outing. Pollock went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored and is 13-for-28 over his last six games. The Mets are 2-3 during a seven-game road trip and Friday's loss knocked them a half-game behind the first-place Washington Nationals in the National League East. TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Arizona PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (8-3, 4.72 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Chase Anderson (1-1, 3.26) Colon's impeccable control has been a huge help -- five walks in 11 starts -- as he has been touched up for 11 homers in 68 2/3 innings. He defeated Miami in his last outing when he gave up three runs and six hits in seven innings. Colon allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings last season in his lone career start against the Diamondbacks in 2006 as a member of the Los Angeles Angels. Anderson is coming off his worst effort for the season as he picked up a no-decision for the eighth time in 10 starts. He allowed a season-high six runs and matched a season worst by giving up 10 hits against the Milwaukee Brewers. Anderson, who has never faced the Mets, is 0-1 with a 3.70 ERA in four home starts this season. WALK-OFFS: 1. Diamondbacks 1B Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with an RBI on Friday and is 22-for-50 with six homers and 14 RBIs over the last 15 games. 2. The Mets placed INF Daniel Murphy (quadriceps) on the disabled list on Friday and recalled INF Danny Muno from Triple-A Las Vegas. 3. Arizona C Welington Castillo struck out in all four at-bats in his team debut after being acquired from Seattle on Wednesday.

And, for the third night in a row, this game will be for control of 1st place in the NL East as the Nats lost this afternoon to the Cubby Bears.

Muno reminds me of Sparkle, the way he drags the bathed behind the hands through the zone.

Gary just called Bud Harrelson "The Original Mets Number Three." Waitaminute. You know better than that, Gary.

Diamondbacks apparently. How much branding mileage did Tampa Bay get out of their special assistant to the general manager?

Loyal member of the organization for, like, ever? Maybe. (How cool would a Piggy-tending-garden bobble be, or Pete Flynn, or Jane Jarvis?) Hired gun, brought in to clean house, with clear, more-well-established ties to at least two other organizations? WAIT ON IT, MUNO. Dammit.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2015 09:12 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

This team continues to: 1) spread their hits out. they seem to be kings of the one hit (but rarely more) per inning club 2) hit into a ton of GiDPs

Happy birthday, Ruben? We'll take a lucky bounce or two.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 09:37 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Hoping the lucky bounce is him bouncing into a regular role as the Mets' starting shortstop.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 06 2015 09:46 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Christ, Duda tattooed that one. Anything hit hard to this outfield and in play is a likely out; anything hit hard to the infield is likely a hit.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 09:53 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Muno performs the rare feat of chasing Chase at Chase.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 09:55 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Bah. Very close.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2015 10:04 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Another night of running a pitcher's pitch count up with very little to show for it. Met batters don't do much to help the other guy's IP totals but they do keep the ERA down. I hope Colon is prepared and able to go at least 8 tonight. He may need to.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 10:05 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Well, I imagine he's going to bat this inning. A pitcher gets his third at-bat by the top of the seventh, you'd figure the team had plated at least a few. But nope, one run on a solo homer.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2015 10:11 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Still no 1-2-3 innings tonight. And still no runners brought around.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 06 2015 10:17 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

And there y'are.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2015 10:19 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

We get leadoff guys on in virtually every inning for two nights running and wind up with jack. They start with two out and none on and still manage to put up a crooked number.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 10:20 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

We can unmake that lead.

Right here, BUNT. We need baserunners. Fucking bunt if they are going to overshift.

568

Gwreck Jun 06 2015 10:30 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Still 567. Cuddyer was the second batter of the inning, not the leadoff batter. I am still unhappy about Lucas' failure to bunt. That is the exact situation where he NEEDS to bunt for a hit. He's a professional, he can get the bunt down and if not, he needs to practice until he can.

Gwreck wrote: Still 567. Cuddyer was the second batter of the inning, not the leadoff batter. Yes I know that but I was making the point that NO ONE who gets on base for the Mets winds up scoring. The other problem is that there are no living New York Mets with a successful bunt on their resumes, either as a Sac or for a hit.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 06 2015 10:48 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Danny Muno: pretty much the textbook definition of "just a guy."

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 10:49 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

A submarining sinker closer is not ideal with a super-fast infield.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 06 2015 10:50 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Fuckin' Pathetic!! 10 hits plus 2 walks plus a catcher's interference and nothing produced a run except for the HR which, of course, came with the bases empty.

Edgy MD Jun 06 2015 10:53 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Could have used a second lefty pinch-hitter. Also could have perhaps gone with Flores and his love affair with the low pitch.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2015 10:54 PM Re: RTS*IGT - 06/06 - Metropolitans @ Desert Zeeks

Probably opted for Mayberry so as to stay out of the double play. Ooooops.
