Rubber game. Gay dame. All kinds of innuendo, in my endo!

Got to work, can't work from home, will be attempting to follow game via XM while working. I am pessimistic on my ability to focus correctly on Mets baseball.

Chacin vs. Matz. Discuss amongst ourselves.

Atlanta at NY Mets
When: 1:10 PM ET, Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets averaged 6.3 runs while winning 11 of 12 games but are having a harder time pushing runs across in the last three contests. The Mets will try to bounce back from a shutout when they host the struggling Atlanta Braves in the rubber match of a three-game series on Wednesday.

New York dropped two of its last three games and managed a total of one run in the two losses. Matt Wisler carved up the Mets lineup on Tuesday, yielding one hit in eight scoreless innings before Arodys Vizcaino finished off the one-hit shutout with a perfect ninth. The win was the third in the last five games for the Braves, who sit last in the majors in home runs but got a solo blast from rookie Mallex Smith – the first of his career – on Tuesday in the 3-0 triumph. Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman, who has half of the team’s six home runs on the season, doubled twice on Tuesday and is 13-for-30 over the last eight games to lift his average from .177 to .261.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Atlanta), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Jhoulys Chacin (1-1, 3.27 ERA) vs. Mets LH Steven Matz (3-1, 3.86)

Chacin picked up his first win and helped stop Atlanta’s eight-game slide with five strong innings at Boston on Thursday. The Venezuela native allowed two runs on six hits and a pair of walks in the win but has not completed six innings in any of his last three outings. Chacin went 5 2/3 innings at home against New York on April 23 and was reached for four runs – three earned – on seven hits and two walks in an 8-2 loss.

Matz started opposite Chacin at Atlanta on April 23 and scattered two runs and nine hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out eight to earn the win. The 24-year-old has won three straight starts while allowing a total of two earned runs in 19 1/3 innings with 21 strikeouts. Matz battled through six scoreless innings against San Francisco on Friday and got plenty of support in a 13-1 victory.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Braves OF Ender Inciarte (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
2. New York SS Asdrubal Cabrera recorded the team’s lone hit on Tuesday and is 3-for-7 in the series.
3. Atlanta C A.J. Pierzynski is 3-for-8 with a pair of doubles in the series.

This is interesting.

'..dropped two of its last three...' sounds bad, and if they lose today its 'three of its last four'. If they win today though, it changes to '...has won its last six series'

Just shows you how much the perception changes based on one game.

And whenever you hear/read that a team has lost 'X of its last Y' you know that really means 'X of its last Y+1' otherwise they would have upped the sequence.
In this case '2 of their last 3' sounds more interesting than '2 of their last 4' and thus the change of perspective of which you speak.

He's reached base safely in six of his last eight games, Jim ...
Yeah, but that means six of his last nine and, unless there's some 3 or 4 hit games mixed into that sequence, you're just reciting some worthless stat in front of you that's been made to sound interesting even though it's not.

Braves go 1-2-3 in the 1st.

It turns out they're not an unstoppable offensive machine that records more extra base hits than whiffs.
