G-Fafif Jun 12 2015 05:45 AM

The Mets will continue their commendable campaign to release Shirt Friday from incarceration at 7:10 PM when Bat-olo Colon takes the mound to face Alex Wood and Alex Wood's eight teammates.

Atlanta at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, June 12, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The injury-riddled New York Mets find themselves in contention in the National League East and are hopeful reinforcements will help bolster their struggling lineup. The Mets host the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a three-game series Friday, having activated catcher Travis d’Arnaud, infielder Dilson Herrera and reliever Bobby Parnell from the disabled list the past two days. New York – which has lost six of its past nine games – remains without infielders David Wright and Daniel Murphy, but d’Arnaud has three hits, two runs scored and an RBI in his first two contests back. The Braves continue to seek stability in a bullpen that blew another late lead in Thursday’s loss to San Diego. Atlanta added veteran relievers David Aardsma and Dana Eveland this week to a relief corps sporting a major-league worst 4.75 ERA. New York is 4-2 against the Braves this season, sweeping a three-game home series in mid-April. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN South (Atlanta), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves LH Alex Wood (4-3, 3.36 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (8-4, 4.52) Wood gave up three runs on seven hits to lose Sunday against Pittsburgh, getting ejected for arguing balls and strikes after the fifth inning. He had won his previous three starts, beating the Marlins, Dodgers and Diamondbacks and allowing only three earned runs across 22 innings. Wood gave up three runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision April 12 against New York. Colon won his first four starts, including two victories over the Braves, and after a shaky May has pitched well his past three starts. He lost Saturday at Arizona despite allowing only two runs on five hits in seven innings, after winning back-to-back outings where he allowed three runs on six hits in each start to beat Philadelphia and Miami. The 42-year-old Colon has walked only three hitters in his past 20 innings with 15 strikeouts. WALK-OFFS: 1. Colon allowed three runs and struck out five in each of the two earlier meetings with Atlanta, going seven innings on April 12 and six innings on April 23. 2. Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman, a career .299 hitter with 60 RBIs in 78 games against the Mets, is hitting .375 with four homers and 11 RBIs this month. 3. New York LF Michael Cuddyer, who delivered the game-winning single in the ninth inning Thursday against San Francisco, is hitting .322 over his past 21 games with 13 RBIs.

The Mets haven't won a series since that sweep of the Phillies May 25-27 (though, they did split a four-gamer with ARZ). It would be nice to see them go on a little run here vs. against these teams who have B nicknames over the next couple of weeks...starting with a win today.

Agreed, we could actually accidentally let the Braves back into this race if we're not careful. With d'Arnaud back and hopefully Herrera can make some progress and Murphy will be back sooner rather than later they're saying, so suddenly we could be back to a no-holes lineup with the above average Tejada on the bench.

Edgy MD Jun 12 2015 08:22 AM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

Well, Dilson — as you'll note — still has to prove he's a worthy part of a big-league lineup. So does Lagares, I guess. I feel like he's done his best hitting the last two seasons in the hot weather, but ...

Gwreck Jun 12 2015 08:23 AM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

D'Arnaud is not playing tonight, as reported by Rubin.

Per Rubin: Manager Terry Collins added that Jeurys Familia may need to go on paternity leave, which could make Bobby Parnell the closer. Yikes!

We gotta stop allowing these players to have sex during the off-season. Is there no discipline anymore!?!?

Wilmer hits his tenth HR. 1-0 Mayberry HR 3-0

Mayberry Moon. Dilson Dubble.

Berry=#4000FF]BOOM! 3-0 Mets. I knew Flores was due. If he hits 25 this year that should shut everyone up. Herrera doubles!

Gwreck Jun 12 2015 06:17 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

Walking Recker to get to Bartolo. Doesn't Bartolo actually have a higher batting average?

Zvon Jun 12 2015 06:18 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

There's another ribby out there for ya Colon. Pick it up!

Damn. He hit that too well.

Zvon Jun 12 2015 06:27 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

Colon in trouble in the 5th. Bases loaded, no out, Mets up 3-0.

Zvon Jun 12 2015 06:33 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

Tsk, tsk Wilma. I don't think we get 2 there anyway. Peterson doubles home another run. 3-2 Mets. All this w/o the involvment of Fkn F F

Zvon Jun 12 2015 06:36 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

BIG K by Colon. He'll walk FFF intentionally to get to Markakis.

Lefty Specialist Jun 12 2015 06:39 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

Walking FFF is always a good move. And it pays off.....

Three times now, the Mets' lead has hung by an existential thread. And three times, the threat has ended with the comebacker.

Zvon Jun 12 2015 07:39 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

If our plan was to get into the Braves bullpen we have to try harder. Ceciliani singles!

Wood splits. Aardsma in. Time to pounce.

Yes, insurance runs are the bomb-diggity.

In other news, Milwaukee is putting a hurting on the Nationals tonight. 7-2 in the 5th.

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2015 07:57 PM Re: IGT 6/12/15 ATL @ NYM: Have a Colon Day

I like Dilson's actions around 2nd base. If that boy can hit even decently at this level he's got a shot to be a valuable commodity.

And while lately it's been their bullpen that's gotten them into trouble, this makes it two bad games in a row for Jordan Zimmermannnnn who, aside from Scherzer, had been their best starter this year.
