GAME: New York Mets (80-61) at Atlanta Braves (56-86) DATE/TIME: Saturday, September 12 - 7:10 PM EST WHERE: Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Covers Media Group Ltd. Having too many capable starting pitchers is not a bad thing, but as the New York Mets push closer to the National League East division title, they face the quandary of figuring out who will comprise their postseason rotation. Noah Syndergaard gets his latest turn to impress Saturday as the high-flying Mets play the third game of a four-game road series versus the Atlanta Braves. New York manager Terry Collins has skipped some of his starters the past two weeks in order to ease the innings load on a staff featuring six contenders for starting nods in the playoffs. The Mets have won five in a row and eight of 11 and lead Washington by 8 ˝ games in the East after Friday’s 5-1 victory, punctuated by Yoenis Cespedes’ seventh homer in his past 10 games. The Braves also are looking at their starting rotation with an eye on the future, albeit 2016 and not next month, as rookie Williams Perez takes the mound Saturday – the second of three consecutive rookies to face the Mets in the series. At 56-86, the Braves are 30 games under .500 for the first time since finishing the 1990 season at 65-97. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), FSN South (Atlanta) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (8-6, 3.31 ERA) vs. Braves RH Williams Perez (5-6, 5.42) The Mets skipped Syndergaard’s turn through the rotation last weekend, opting to go with fellow rookie Steven Matz on Sunday in Miami. New York hopes the extra rest will benefit the 23-year-old Syndergaard, whose August ERA ballooned to 4.79 with nine homers allowed in 35 2/3 innings. Syndergaard still has found ways to win, going 3-1 last month after posting a 2-1 record with a 1.32 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP in July. The Braves hope Perez is returning to his early-season success after he allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings – with seven strikeouts and no walks – in his last start Monday at Philadelphia. He struggled mightily in his previous seven starts since coming off the disabled list July 31, posting a 9.59 ERA while going 0-6 with 20 walks and 14 strikeouts. Perez went 4-0 with a 2.88 ERA in 11 appearances before bruising his left foot June 26 at Pittsburgh, and earned a save against the Mets on June 13 with a scoreless inning. WALK-OFFS: 1. Atlanta hopes CF Cameron Maybin, who has missed the past six games with a corneal abrasion, will be ready to return early next week. 2. Since going 11-26 on the road through June 30, the Mets are 24-11 away from home. 3. Braves C Christian Bethancourt allowed a run to score Friday on a passed ball, his seventh passed ball of the season in just 315 1/3 innings.

Syndergaard tonight. The Braves lineup should really be light work for the kid.

d'Kong76 Sep 12 2015 04:23 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Granderson, RF Cespedes, CF Murphy, 1B Wright, 3B Conforto, LF d'Arnaud, C Johnson, 2B Flores, SS Syndergaard, P Markakis, RF Olivera, 3B Freeman, 1B Pierzynski, C Swisher, LF Peterson, 2B Simmons, SS Bourn, CF Perez, P

The non-lineup tonight. C - Kevin Plawecki 1B - Lucas Duda 2B - Eric Campbell SS - Ruben Tejada 3B - Juan Uribe LF - Michael Cuddyer CF - Juan Lagares RF - Kirk Nieuwenhuis We saw worse starting eights than that maybe four days a week over the front half of the season.

Left out Dilson Herrera and John Mayberry, Jr. But there's this real game going on with a real lineup. My wife said, "Why don't you see what's going on between the Mets and that racist team?" Mets up 2-1, as much on Atlantean mistakes as on Knickerbocker achievements.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2015 06:30 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Conforto's surprisingly been a defensive plus, if only on pure hustle.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2015 06:31 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Great replay on the Atlanta broadcast shows Peterson is out.

PiggiesTomatoes Sep 12 2015 06:35 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

That Drew Storen story about him slamming and breaking his thumb in his locker makes me sad. He won't be available in the last series of the regular season.

So Mayberry doesn't make the cut and Dilson loses out to Campbell on the basis of fewer starts.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Campbell hasn't appeared at second all this season. Meanwhile, the Braves booth still seems to think that Matz is Jewish.

This is getting ridiculous, if it hasn't already. I've come to the conclusion that I've been in some kind of shock since game 2 of the Nats series. Is this for real? If this is one long big dream I can't wait to tell you guys about it when I wake up.

Nice to see Laggy getting into a game and busting it when he does.

d'Kong76 Sep 12 2015 07:41 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Great bunt by Lagares, if he didn't hold the bat and stare at it instead of totally busting it out of the box he would have beat it.

I'm out of books. Strange sweep. Some of these Braves are still grinding, while others (both of their catchers) seem to just be playing out the string. The Braves are the last team I would expect to see being operated like an insurance fire, but here we are.

Ceetar Sep 12 2015 08:15 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

I'd be happy to see Benitez supplanted, but I'd give the win to Familia in this game. But then again I put literally no stock in wins so whatever.

Well that was a fine game, once again. Could not IGT due to watching this game with the wife but we had it on in its entirety. Onward!

Benjamin Grimm Sep 12 2015 08:21 PM Re: IGT 9/12 Mets Braves Kill to the 6th?

Wins are credited very unscientifically. The official scorer should have more discretion. Here's the full text of the rule for winning and losing pitchers. I was thinking that the official scorer might have been able to give Syndergaard the win under the "brief and ineffective" clause, but that's not the case. It looks like he might have the option to give the win to Familia, however. 10.17 Winning And Losing Pitcher (a) The official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless (1) such pitcher is a starting pitcher and Rule 10.17(b) applies; or (2) Rule 10.17(c) applies. Rule 10.17(a) Comment: Whenever the score is tied, the game becomes a new contest insofar as the winning pitcher is concerned. Once the opposing team assumes the lead, all pitchers who have pitched up to that point and have been replaced are excluded from being credited with the victory. If the pitcher against whose pitching the opposing team gained the lead continues to pitch until his team regains the lead, which it holds to the finish of the game, that pitcher shall be the winning pitcher. (b) If the pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, is a starting pitcher who has not completed (1) five innings of a game that lasts six or more innings on defense, or (2) four innings of a game that lasts five innings on defense, then the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the relief pitcher, if there is only one relief pitcher, or the relief pitcher who, in the official scorer's judgment was the most effective, if there is more than one relief pitcher. Rule 10.17(b) Comment: It is the intent of Rule 10.17(b) that a relief pitcher pitch at least one complete inning or pitch when a crucial out is made, within the context of the game (including the score), in order to be credited as the winning pitcher. If the first relief pitcher pitches effectively, the official scorer should not presumptively credit that pitcher with the win, because the rule requires that the win be credited to the pitcher who was the most effective, and a subsequent relief pitcher may have been most effective. The official scorer, in determining which relief pitcher was the most effective, should consider the number of runs, earned runs and base runners given up by each relief pitcher and the context of the game at the time of each relief pitcher's appearance. If two or more relief pitchers were similarly effective, the official scorer should give the presumption to the earlier pitcher as the winning pitcher. (c) The official scorer shall not credit as the winning pitcher a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when at least one succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain its lead. In such a case, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher who was most effective, in the judgment of the official scorer. Rule 10.17(c) Comment: The official scorer generally should, but is not required to, consider the appearance of a relief pitcher to be ineffective and brief if such relief pitcher pitches less than one inning and allows two or more earned runs to score (even if such runs are charged to a previous pitcher). Rule 10.17(b) Comment provides guidance on choosing the winning pitcher from among several succeeding relief pitchers. (d) A losing pitcher is a pitcher who is responsible for the run that gives the winning team a lead that the winning team does not relinquish. Rule 10.17(d) Comment: Whenever the score is tied, the game becomes a new contest insofar as the losing pitcher is concerned. (e) A league may designate a non-championship game (for example, the Major League All-Star Game) for which Rules 10.17(a)(1) and 10.17(b) do not apply. In such games, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless such pitcher is knocked out after the winning team has attained a commanding lead and the official scorer concludes that a subsequent pitcher is entitled to credit as the winning pitcher.
