IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

d'Kong76 Aug 15 2015 07:51 AM

Pittsburgh at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Saturday, August 15, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The Pittsburgh Pirates look to continue their recent domination of the host New York Mets when the teams play the second contest of their three-game series on Saturday. The Pirates claimed their fourth victory in as many meetings with the Mets this season and 13th in 17 encounters with a 3-2 triumph in 10 innings on Friday. Gregory Polanco ripped the go-ahead RBI single among his two hits and improved to 15-for-34 with six runs scored during his eight-game hitting streak. Polanco traditionally has struggled versus New York, going 4-for-23 (.174) heading into the series and is 0-for-4 with two strikeouts versus Saturday starter Jonathon Niese. While Pittsburgh has won six of eight to remain six games behind National League Central-leading St. Louis, the Mets saw their seven-game home winning streak come to a halt with their third loss in 14 outings. Daniel Murphy is riding a 10-game hitting streak, but is just 3-for-16 in his career versus Saturday starter Charlie Morton. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ROOT (Pittsburgh), WPIX-11 (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Charlie Morton (7-4, 4.48 ERA) vs. Mets LH Jonathon Niese (7-9, 3.46) Morton has yet to defeat the Mets in seven career appearances, posting an 0-3 mark while allowing the club to bat .305 against him. The 31-year-old will need a better performance than his last trip to the mound, as he permitted five runs on 10 hits in five innings before walking away with a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Morton has pitched much better at home than on the road, where he is just 3-3 with a 5.92 ERA. Niese recorded his second straight win and third consecutive strong outing on Monday after allowing two runs on six hits in seven innings of a 4-2 triumph over Colorado. The 28-year-old struggled in his last outing versus Pittsburgh, permitting four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 frames to take the loss on May 24. Niese would be wise to pitch carefully to Andrew McCutchen, who is 7-for-15 with a homer, three doubles and four RBIs against him in his career. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York OF Yoenis Cespedes, who homered among his three hits on Friday, has collected six multi-hit performances in 13 games with his new team. 2. Pittsburgh 1B Pedro Alvarez is 9-for-18 with two homers, three RBIs and as many runs scored during his five-game hitting streak. 3. Mets OF Curtis Granderson went 1-for-4 on Friday to improve to 5-for-62 with 23 strikeouts in his career versus Pirates pitching.

Cespedes 2nd and Uribe 4th. Conforto over Cuddyer. Mets hoping Duda can play Tuesday per ABC. LETS GO METS!!

Gwreck Aug 15 2015 05:17 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

That was NOT a ball to McCutchen. But still a crappy job by Niese to allow the homer.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 15 2015 05:39 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Bee-yoot of a catch by Curtis in right to end the top of the second frame. For a game that's barely twenty minutes old, there's been a lot of muttering in blue's direction after ball-strike calls.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2015 06:22 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

We're suddenly back to making very mediocre pitchers look very good. I count two hard-hit balls so far: Cespedes's single and Uribe's line-out. Other than that it's a bunch of K's plus the occasional weak grounder. Meanwhile, our pitchers have picked up a nasty habit of serving up 1st inning HRs.

Ashie62 Aug 15 2015 06:32 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Still down 3-0 bottom sixth. The Pirates are good.

[list]Keith: "If Lagares is in center with his bad elbow, that ball's a triple."[/list:u] Well, let's be fair here, Keef. Maybe Laggy doesn't overrun it in the first place. Maybe, in fact, he cuts it off before it even reaches the wall. And just maybe, he winds up tracking that ball down and putting it in his back pocket.

Fman99 Aug 15 2015 07:35 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Arquimedes Caminero on the mound. He stole his name from a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel, methinks.

Edgy MD Aug 15 2015 07:36 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

I made that joke to my Pirate-loving friend about having a dousing who used to drive an Arquimedes Caminero. He said, "Was it fast and a little unpredictable?"

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 15 2015 07:36 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

JUST before the throw, I was thinking, "That route is what happens when you play a non-center-fielder in center. "

Edgy MD Aug 15 2015 07:38 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

d'Arn can hit this guy.

I wish Duda was in there to pinch hit and put a ball out onto the Bridge.

Edgy MD Aug 15 2015 07:40 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Fort can hit this guy. Plenty of flamethrowers in AA.

Nice pitch there from The Luxury Sedan to end it. I do think Confy can hit the guy, though. Why no Torres? Don't you WANT multiple innings?

Edgy MD Aug 15 2015 07:46 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Torres appeared earlier. Pitched the seventh. Mets looking to get two innings out of Robles with the double switch. But why not two innings out of your best pitchers?

Jeeze, this is some kinda game. After a quick read-thru: 1) The pitch b4 the HR off Niese in the first was a SURE STRIKE! But Jon has to stop moaning in those situations & losing his focus. 2) Conforto hit a tough pitch to muscle out for his HR. He whipped it good. 3) What a freakin throw by Cespedes! 4) Bob really is a shitty ump tonight. Really really shitty. 5) I'm not sure who I would have done it with but one of these relievers that was already in should have gone 2. I'd have to look deeper to propose who that should have been. CTorres off the top of my head but I did not see his inning pitched and don't know how he looked. LETS GO METS!!!!

Fman99 Aug 15 2015 08:13 PM Re: IGT 08/15 - Pirates at Metropolitans

Joe Blanton was part of the famed 'Moneybag' draft. (22nd pick overall) Hasn't exactly been what Beane & Co. hoped, but 2015 is his 11th year in the majors.
