By the time the Mets abuse the fish Mr. Hand will ask his players if they are on dope. LETS GO METS!

NY Mets at Miami When: 7:10 PM ET, Tuesday, August 4, 2015 Where: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets are back in first place and receiving early dividends from newly acquired slugger Yoenis Cespedes. The surging Mets seek their fifth consecutive win when they continue a three-game series on Tuesday against the host Miami Marlins. Behind three doubles and four RBIs from Cespedes and a solid eight-inning effort from Bartolo Colon, New York rolled to a 12-1 win in the series opener, moving one game up on Washington in the National League East. The Mets had resided in second place from June 20 through Sunday, when they tied the Nationals, but their current 7-2 run has dramatically altered the outlook for Terry Collins' team. They have not won five in a row since their 11-game run in April that initially vaulted the club into first place. The Marlins have lost eight of 10 and are averaging 2.7 runs since the All-Star break. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Florida (Miami) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Jonathon Niese (5-9, 3.63 ERA) vs. Marlins LH Brad Hand (1-2, 5.12) Niese has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last six starts, including a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday. He limited the Padres to one run on six hits in six innings while striking out six, his highest total since June 17. The 28-year-old was reached for five runs (four earned) in four innings of a loss to Miami on May 30 and owns a 4.38 ERA in 17 career starts against the Marlins. Hand made three starts earlier this season but has appeared out of the bullpen in his last 10 appearances. He was lit up for six runs in just two-thirds of an inning in his last start June 8 at Toronto and is 5-19 with a 4.69 ERA in his career as a starter. The former second-round pick faced the Mets three times in as many days back in April, giving up two runs in 3 2/3 innings of relief. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York starters have allowed two runs or fewer in eight of their last nine games. 2. Marlins CF Christian Yelich had three hits Monday and is batting .314 at home, compared to .229 on the road. 3. Mets RF Curtis Granderson went 3-for-5 on Monday and has reached safely in 18 straight games.

It's a very corporeal matchup. [fimg=250:2rgu9iep]http://assets-s3.mensjournal.com/img/essential/the-way-to-build-a-better-knee/618_348_the-way-to-build-a-better-knee.jpg[/fimg:2rgu9iep] [fimg=212:2rgu9iep]http://poliklinika-arcadia.hr/en/images/stories/plastic/hand-v.jpg[/fimg:2rgu9iep]

Terry's sure got some out-of-the-hat lineups. It's like the bench is Campbell and Campbell alone. Everybody else is part of an obscure starting rotation.

TransMonk Aug 04 2015 02:34 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I'm rooting for Lagares tonight.

Ashie62 Aug 04 2015 04:09 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I just want a win a day from wherever it may come.

Edgy MD Aug 04 2015 05:42 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

How did the Mets go from one of history's worst-hitting pitching staves to the pitchers getting a hit a day the next season?

Zvon Aug 04 2015 06:32 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

1-0 Marlins in the 5th. Gordon with an RBI single off Flores glove in the 3rd. Flores tried hard for the grasscutter and after he missed it he didn't cry or anything. Niese looking okay. Need a run. LETS GO METS!

Frayed Knot Aug 04 2015 06:41 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

We let Hand off the hook (which is different from giving early Mets pitcher Jay Hook a hand) by forcing him to throw 20+ pitches/inning but not being able to push anything across. Now we're going to have to score probably by seeing a new pitcher each inning or so. Letting Hechavarria on twice in a row leading off an inning without a hit (1 BB, 1 E) isn't a good idea either.

themetfairy Aug 04 2015 06:43 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Why the hell are they doing a canned Terry Collins interview while there's a game in progress? Sheesh!

Edgy MD Aug 04 2015 06:45 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Let's score, man.

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 06:56 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Can't believe Angel Hernandez didn't screw us on that call.

Edgy MD Aug 04 2015 06:58 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

That'll serve. I mean, it looked like a beer league play at the plate, but that'll serve.

Fman99 Aug 04 2015 07:00 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

That was a great slide and nice traffic directing by Niese to signal him to slide towards that side of home plate.

Diamondbacks just tied it up against Scherzer.

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 07:30 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I wonder about running for Lucas here.

metirish Aug 04 2015 07:31 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

WTF Flores or Terry

Frayed Knot Aug 04 2015 07:32 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

And you can add another one to our 'We suck at bunting' tally.

Fman99 Aug 04 2015 07:32 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Ugh with the bunting. Swing fucking bats.

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 07:32 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

WTF, Terry? Bunting is for losers. Also, since no one on the team can actually do it properly, stop calling for it please.

d'Kong76 Aug 04 2015 07:32 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Bunting is still for losers.

Fman99 Aug 04 2015 07:38 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Campbell as a righty PH is still mighty underwhelming. Hurry back, Capt Sugarbutt.

Fman99 Aug 04 2015 07:38 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Soup time, 2-1 Mets

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 07:40 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I was just saying that I found it strange that Campbell was the first bat off the bench.

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 07:41 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

One hit here for insurance, Juan. Just need one.

Gwreck Aug 04 2015 07:42 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

HUGE hit for Lagares!!!

Fman99 Aug 04 2015 07:42 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

LAGARES! Mets firing on all cylinders the last few days.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 04 2015 07:43 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I believe! I believe! And I believe in the Dbacks, at least tonight.

Great stuff, bench stronger, competition for positions....love it

Obi Juan delivered, and Granderson too!

Great catch by the bro in right field. Lenny Harris jersey?

Rockin' Doc Aug 04 2015 08:09 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

3 Outs away from a fifth straight win.

metirish Aug 04 2015 08:11 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

I wish they would show who that #19 was on the great catch form the Mets fan , they talked about it enough , Bill Webb still does these games ?

Edgy MD Aug 04 2015 08:13 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

You figure Gelbs would be all over him. Meanwhile, four-run lead and I'm all anxiety-ish.

Rockin' Doc Aug 04 2015 08:14 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Familia not looking too good right now.

Another day ... another day in 1st place. Nats tied 3-3 in bottom 8 Matt Williams DID use Drew Storen tonight in the 8th inning of a tie game. Maybe he's been reading his reviews.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 04 2015 08:42 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Nats up 5-3 with PapLOLbon on in the 9th. Saltalamacchia batting as tying tun

Frayed Knot Aug 04 2015 08:47 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Saltalamacchia took Papelbon to the wall but it was just short. But now the final out of the game (grounder to 3rd) was thrown away and it's 5-4 w/the tying run on 2nd. Cliff Pennington is your batter.

Frayed Knot Aug 04 2015 08:53 PM Re: I.G.T 8/4/15 Mets @ Fish Niese v. Mr. Hand

Nasts hang on and end their 4 game losing streak. Still a one game gap.
