I expect a strong effort from Jacob. Leave it in his hands if need be.

NY Mets at Arizona When: 4:10 PM ET, Sunday, June 7, 2015 Where: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona SportsDirect Inc. Welington Castillo may be finding it hard to get comfortable in one spot this season, but could find it easier to relax with the Arizona Diamondbacks after sending them to a thrilling victory in their last time out. The Diamondbacks, winners of four of their last five, eye a series victory Sunday when they finish their four-game series against the New York Mets. Castillo began 2015 as the Chicago Cubs’ third catcher after serving as the club’s starter for the previous two-plus seasons before getting dealt to Seattle in mid-May and playing six games with the Mariners, who traded him along with three others to acquire Mark Trumbo and Vidal Nuno on Thursday. The 28-year-old Dominican went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his first game against the Mets on Friday, but delivered a two-run shot off Bartolo Colon late in Saturday’s 2-1 victory. New York hit into four double plays to lose for the fourth time in five tries and dropped to 9-19 on the road, mostly cancelling out its sterling 21-8 mark at home. The Mets also fell to 7-24 when scoring two or fewer runs, but saw Michael Cuddyer extend his hitting streak to 11 games with a 2-for-4 effort. TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Arizona PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (6-4, 2.41 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Josh Collmenter (3-5, 5.03) DeGrom, flashing the form that led to him being named as the 2014 National League Rookie of the Year, yielded only two singles and struck out eight over as many frames in Monday’s 7-0 victory in San Diego. The start was the second scoreless eight-inning turn in three tries for the 26-year-old Stetson alum, who is 3-0 with a 0.92 ERA and a 34:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last four outings. Jarrod Saltalamacchia (1-for-8) is the only Arizona hitter that has ever faced deGrom, who is 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA in four road starts. Collmenter remained winless in five tries since May 6 in his last outing, settling for a no-decision in Tuesday’s 7-6 victory versus Atlanta after allowing three runs over 5 2/3 innings. The 29-year-old Michigan native has failed to make it through six innings while not factoring into the decision in three straight turns, but has rebounded after a dreadful two-outing stretch in which he surrendered 13 runs in 7 1/3 frames. Collmenter is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA in eight appearances (three starts) against the Mets. WALK-OFFS: 1. Diamondbacks RHP Randall Delgado, who got the win Saturday with 1 1/3 scoreless innings, has stranded 11 of the 14 runners he has inherited this season. 2. The Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies (7-20) are the only two teams in the majors with fewer than 10 road victories. 3. Arizona 3B Jake Lamb, out since April 19 with a left foot stress reaction, was activated from the disabled list Saturday and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout.

During the National Anthem, one of the Diamondbacks, had a tremendously outsized hat over his chest. Like Charlie Brown-big. Like big enough to make Álex Torres' soft helmet hat he used to wear look small.

Go go Grandyman

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 02:12 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Great, Granderson. Now, like, nine more of those.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 02:21 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Dear me, Eric Campbell. You're making me miss Josh Satin.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2015 02:30 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

3 of our last 4 runs scored (over a 19 inning span) have come via solo HRs. Campbell's 4th inning single Friday night was the one outlier. Unfortunately that hit was also the final hit of that game.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 02:32 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Josh Who? Satin? Never heard of him.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2015 02:37 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

So now we're up to 7 of the last 8 runs via HRs with Campbell's single on Friday being the only RBI not to go over the fence going back to Mayberry's 2R HR in the 9th inning Thursday. Now I just need my fucking TV screen to stop "tiling" so I can actually see the game.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 03:09 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

So this is what offense looks like. Let's tape it.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2015 03:15 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Nope, they made the mistake of getting the leadoff guy on again. WON'T THEY EVER LEARN?!?!?! 3 more ABs w/runners on including 2 w/RiSP, and 1 w/RiSP< 2 outs = 0

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:25 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

I thought that was a replay. ha. Grandy launches another! 4-2 Mets

Ashie62 Jun 07 2015 03:26 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Grandpa rakes.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:31 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

So Grandy led off the game with a blast? Niiiice. And--oo, horrible error by Campbell. And he redeems himself w/a 2 RBI no doubter. deGrom in control. I like:)

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:33 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Did I say in control? I meant on the mound. He walks the pitcher. TURN 2!

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 03:34 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Walking the pitcher is the baseball version of missing the extra point.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2015 03:34 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Wow, you mean our defense is allowed to turn DPs too?

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 03:35 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

The double play grounder is the baseball version of the interception.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:37 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

FloBOOM!

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 03:38 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Doubling our June homer output. Or tripling, I'm not sure.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2015 03:40 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

He might have slow feet but he got hisself some fast hands. And now the Sisyphus-ian attempt to actually get a no-out baserunner around to the plate.

Saltalamacchia wears his helmet brim forward under his catchers mask. Jason Phillips is the only guy I remember doing that.

bare down deGrom. ooo, ballsy going to 2nd.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:51 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

OOOO, he bunts-what a play by Soupy!!but he's safe! Damn! 5-3 Mets

Zvon Jun 07 2015 03:56 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Ollie owes us. We made him rich.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 03:57 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Ollie gets the first batter of the inning. A good omen!

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:14 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

And Jacobs day comes to a close. 109 pitches. 10 strikeouts. 2 earned runs allowed. Pen, we need you to bring this one home.....please. 5-3 Mets

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:17 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

We should jump all over Hernandez, blow this thing out. Duda walks. Ugh, Cuddy deep to center. These friggin outfielders.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:23 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

And here we go Robles for the 8th.

themetfairy Jun 07 2015 04:26 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

What's the word that Ronny can't say on TV to describe deGrom? Inquiring minds want to know!

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:29 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Robles is excellent. 1-2-3 8th inning.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:39 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Campbell singles and steals 2nd in the New York 9th. Then he steals 3rd! All on that D'bag pitcher, who doesn't seem to care where Campbell is. And Cecil drives him in. Niiiiice. 6-3 Mets.

Edgy MD Jun 07 2015 04:43 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Look, we're a running team now!

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:45 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Ceciliani steals second. Well, against this Ramirez guy, anyone who reaches should steal. He don't care. Grandy moves him to third. Familia warming up.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:48 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

TeHotta walks and....SURPRISE!..steals second. Duda walks to load em.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:53 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Gah. We don't score. I would have pulled a triple steal, then a double steal, and then stole home again. OO, Lags with a big play to start the frame. 1 out.

Zvon Jun 07 2015 04:54 PM Re: I.G.T 6/7/15 Mets v Snakes deGrom v. Collmenter

Wow, great play by Flores for out #2. A really nice diving stop and throwout. 2 out.

And the Nats lose. Despite often tripping over their own shoelaces, the Mets are back in first place. As they say, Amazin'.

Suck-ass road trip... nothing gained, nothing lost.
