IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Mets – Willets Point Sep 25 2015 10:03 AM

The Mets seek to continue their hotness on the road and move closer to clinching a NL East title tonight in The Queen City. Noah Syndergaard (8-7, 3.39) chucks lightning bolts for the Mets. Anthony DeSclafani (9-11, 3.79) counters for the Reds. (KC, insert a metal track here)

GAME: New York Mets (86-67) at Cincinnati Reds (63-89) DATE/TIME: Friday, September 25 - 7:10 PM EST WHERE: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, Ohio LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Covers Media Group, Ltd. The New York Mets have been stumbling down the stretch, but a meeting with the Cincinnati Reds always seems to right the ship for the representatives from Queens. With a magic number of three to clinch their first National League East title since 2006, the Mets vie for their 11th victory in their last 13 contests against the host Reds when they continue their four-game series Friday. Daniel Murphy improved to 12-for-26 with two homers and six RBIs during his seven-game hitting streak after collecting a run-scoring triple and two singles in Thursday's 6-4 triumph in the series opener. David Wright is 13-for-39 with seven RBIs in his last 10 contests for New York, which owns a 7 1/2-game lead over second-place Washington with nine to play. While the Mets are preparing for the postseason, the reeling Reds likely have an eye on the offseason after dropping their fifth in a row to remain in the cellar of the NL Central. Joey Votto has recorded four multi-hit performances in his last seven contests and has reached base safely in a career high-tying 41 consecutive games, but is 0-for-3 versus Friday starter Noah Syndergaard. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Ohio (Cincinnati) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (8-7, 3.39 ERA) vs. Reds RH Anthony DeSclafani (9-11, 3.79) Syndergaard suffered his first loss since Aug. 8 after getting blitzed for five runs on seven hits - including two homers - in six innings of a 5-0 setback to the New York Yankees on Saturday. The 23-year-old has been taken deep 11 times in his last eight outings after surrendering just six homers in his previous 11. Syndergaard handcuffed the Reds in their lone previous meeting on June 26, allowing one run on five hits in eight frames to pick up the win. DeSclafani's two-game winning streak went by the boards as he yielded five runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings to take the loss in an 8-4 setback to Milwaukee on Sunday. The 25-year-old had been pitching well by permitting one run in three of his previous four outings. DeSclafani will look to rebound versus New York, against which he struggled mightily by allowing 10 runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings with Miami last season. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York RF Curtis Granderson is 7-for-18 with two homers and four RBIs in four games versus Cincinnati this season. 2. Reds RF Jay Bruce has belted six homers in his last 10 contests. 3. Mets 1B Lucas Duda is 3-for-5 with three doubles in his last two games after going 6-for-39 previously in September.

I don't care what Edgy says, I'll take the Progressive Flo ads any day in place of the "croissanwich" guy and "I'm steaking you to lunch."

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 06:48 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Sorry. It was just the imitation sub-series, that was letting me down. I'm rooting for Steph to keep this gig going as long as I can, so I'm sensitive to any mis-steps. I don't know the Croissanwich Guy and Steaking-You Guy. I'm nonetheless certain you're correct, and they make less appealing in-between-inning company than Flo.

They're pretty constant in the Mets radio broadcasts.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 25 2015 07:00 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Review calls don't translate well to radio.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 07:02 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

I think the ball went off the glove. My question is whether a player taking cover is in the right (or the Wright) when his bat hits the catcher's glove as he hit's the deck.

I imagine that's it for Synderfun. Maybe one more inning.

I loved Keith yelling "OH!!!!!" when Duda hit that ball.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 07:20 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

So, when they pull the 'Gaard, which they presumably will, do they go to somebody who needs the work, like O'Flaherty or Parnell, or do they feel an obligation to go with somebody more likely to preserve the shutout?

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2015 07:29 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Granderson having a big night. Hopefully, he has shaken his slump. It appears the change of scenery has does the Mets hitters a world of good.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 07:30 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Uh, Juan. Get better. Chest pain is scary.

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2015 07:35 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

I'm following the game online so I can't actually see the game. Does it appear possible that Uribe's chest pain is related to his diving stop at second base a few nights ago? He appeared to hurt his chest with his diving faceplant and subsequently came out of the game following the inning.

Fman99 Sep 25 2015 07:36 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

It does. He tightened up on a check swing.

d'Kong76 Sep 25 2015 07:42 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

They shoot fireworks for a 12-1 homer in Cincy.

PiggiesTomatoes Sep 25 2015 07:43 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

He wasn't going to pitch the 9th. Why put him out in the 8th?

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 07:44 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

To get him to 100 pitches, I imagine.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2015 07:46 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

When I turned on the game yesterday (Thurs) I was shocked to discover that Jason Bourgeois was black. Then I realized I was conflating him with Angel turned Cardinal* Peter Bourjos * as opposed to Pope Francis who many this week seem to be saying is a Cardinal turned Angel

PiggiesTomatoes Sep 25 2015 07:46 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Stretching him out for the playoffs? lol

Mets – Willets Point Sep 25 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Crap, the lead isn't big enough for O'Flaherty!

Fman99 Sep 25 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

This just in: Eric O'Flaherty, bad at baseball.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

If a batter extends his on-base streak vs Eric O'Flaherty, does it still count in the record books?

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

I never thought I would be happy to see O'Flaherty pitching in a game, but if ever there was a time to get him some work while resting more valuable arms this is it. I feel pretty confident that this game is O'Flaherty proof.

They should have O'Flaherty throw BP. Big confidence boost for the hitters.

This just in: Bobby Parnell, equally bad at baseball.

Three more hitters for a save situation.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 25 2015 07:56 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

On the plus side, though, the beard's resplendent. Third out, finalmente.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 08:05 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Dilson does not go easy against Chapman.

Lefty Specialist Sep 25 2015 08:06 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Parnell not exactly endearing himself. I'm betting he'll be better next season, another year removed from TJ. But it'll be for someone else.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 25 2015 08:06 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Dilson gave it a good one. Dodgers down 7-1 through 5. These results hold, and we're a good Saturday away from a division title AND pole position for home field advantage in the NLDS.

Stauffer offers a lukewarm, stale French-bread fastball on Duvall's plate, and it's eaten up. They look nothing alike, but I'm still conflating him with Redding in my head.

d'Kong76 Sep 25 2015 08:15 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

A seven-run lead is manageable... right?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 25 2015 08:16 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

They do pitch similarly, though, it seems.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 08:17 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Well, our fourth- (fifth-)string third baseman isn't helping.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 25 2015 08:17 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Nobody out.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 25 2015 08:18 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Stauffer looks like about five different substitute teachers I had throughout middle and high school.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 08:20 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Kibosh on Boesch.

Stauffer's heater rises up against the Bourgeois, and he's overthrown. We might just take this one.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2015 08:26 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?

Terry bringing a big ol' hook.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2015 08:26 PM Re: IGT Fri 9/25 @ Reds: Could be 2, could be 1?
