Re: Who do you like for Game One?

Terry has apparently already said that it will be Harvey.

I agree with that choice. Hopefully Syndergaard will be able to go Game 2. I prefer him to Matz.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

Let's go Harvey, Syndegaard, deGrom and re-evaluate from there.

Harvey 1/5
Syndergaard 2/6
deGrom 3/7
Matz 4

Seems fine to me!

The Mets' pitching depth will hopefully be a bigger advantage in a longer series.

Less of a chance for the Braves Syndrome to kick in.

The answer to the question posed in the title of the thread is, the Mets, of course.

I want the Harvey who will be able to pitch two games if we need him to.

I want Harvey to step up here for this series. 2 wins, 17 innings, 1 run, 25 k, 0 BB

oh, that won't make Boras cry.

Boras generally likes to go free agency, but I wonder if he would use something like that to try to convince the Mets they should give him the FA contract after this season, and try to use the innings limit as leverage. i.e. "You risked him well past what you should've, now reward him or I file a grievance"

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

I really like Harvey for game 1 and not to get ahead of myself but I loooove deGrom lined up for game 7.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

Syndergaard may not start game 2 because he warmed up a million times in game 5 in LA . It'll depend on how he feels today. Had to be done because deGrom was constantly on the ropes and they had to get here first, but Matz in game 2 would be disappointing.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

I'm hoping it's Syndergaard in Game 2. I'd rather see him pitch at Citi than at Wrigley.

Although I guess I feel the same way about Matz.

That's what the papers are saying this morning about Syndegaard. Depending on how he felt today, Collins was going to decide. Sounded to me like Matz will get the Game 2 call though.

Maybe that's the right move, but I'd rather not a consequential decision be made based on hyperbole.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

Apparently Syndegaard threw about 5 innings worth in the pen in L.A., so Terry equated it to a start. If he's (Syndegaard) feeling similar soreness that he would after a start, then he will not start game 2.

These are quotes from Terry.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

There was never any question that Harvey would start tonight: their top(ish) pitcher on regular rest.

It's also reasonable to wait on Syndergaard to see how he feels. Matz is probably the best option if he's not: Niese would be too much of a risk, and Colon should stay in the bullpen for now (He's going to be more effective if he comes in with his soft fastballs after the batters have been used to seeing 95+.)

I'll try and come up with more meaningful questions.

Mets saying it will be Syndergaard in Game 2.

USA Today wrote:

NEW YORK — Mets manager Terry Collins named fireballing right-hander Noah Syndergaard his starting pitcher for National League Championship Series Game 2 on Sunday despite the rookie’s relief appearance on Thursday.


Mike Vorkunov on NJ.com adds that it will be deGrom in Game 3 and Matz in Game 4.

Oooh good answer!

I chose Matz because I figured if he got lit up (God forbid) it's just game one. I have a different mind set from those who choose the Ace for game one :)

I like Harvey for game one. I've just got a good feeling about him.

I didn't get this thread. Was there a chance that Harvey wasn't gonna start game #1?

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

It was published just as the last out was made in the previous series, and while Harvey was about to be announced as the expected starter, I thought others might have opinions on who they'd like to see.

Re: Who do you like for Game One?

I would've liked for the mid 60's version of Sandy Koufax to start for the Mets. But between Harvey, Matz and Niese, I would've picked Harvey had I bothered.
