I expect a HR from Harvey. LGM.

NY Mets at San Diego When: 4:40 PM ET, Sunday, May 8, 2016 Where: Bartolo Park, San Diego, California SportsDirect Inc. Given their propensity for hitting home runs recently, it seemed only a matter of time before the New York Mets started to flex their muscles again. Coming off a four-homer effort in their last time out, the Mets attempt to complete the first leg of their 11-game road trip on a high note and split a four-game series with the San Diego Padres on Sunday. New York was limited to three runs on seven hits over the first two contests of this series, generating all of those runs in the ninth inning of the opener after it was unable to get a hit over the first 7 2/3 innings. The Mets returned to their homer-happy ways with four in a 6-3 victory Saturday, and lead the majors with 46 - including 44 over the last 21 games after opening the season with two home runs in its first eight outings. The Padres have still won six of nine despite their most recent setback and would like nothing more than to wrap up their seven-game homestand with another victory before opening a three-game series in Chicago against the red-hot Cubs on Monday. San Diego's pitching has been a key part of its recent success over its last nine contests, posting a 2.14 ERA and .186 batting average against despite Saturday's outcome. TV: 4:40 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), FSN San Diego PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Matt Harvey (2-4, 4.76 ERA) vs. Padres RH Andrew Cashner (2-2, 4.85) Harvey continued to perform well below the standards he set over his first three seasons in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings. The 2013 All-Star has logged a quality start only two times and failed to pitch into the seventh inning in six tries while permitting at least eight baserunners in every turn. Harvey has struck out 21 Padres over 18 frames in three outings against them, but is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two starts in San Diego. Cashner notched his second victory in three outings Tuesday, overcoming a rocky first two innings to yield three runs on five hits and three walks across six frames at home versus Colorado. The 29-year-old TCU alum has yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight trips to the mound since getting roughed up in his season debut, although he has logged six innings only three times over that span. Cashner is 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA in eight appearances (three starts) versus New York, allowing the Mets to bat .292 against him. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Mets, who are 16-3 when scoring first, plated two runs in the first inning Saturday and have outscored their opponents 23-5 in the opening frame. 2. The Padres are 28-15 against the Mets at home since Petco Park opened in 2004, either winning or tying 13 of the 14 series played at the venue. 3. New York has scored 56.9 percent (74 of its 130 runs) via home run, including all six runs Saturday - the highest such percentage in the majors.

Wow! Kevin Mitchell will be joining the booth.

Frayed Knot May 08 2016 04:33 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Big article on Mitch in the NY Times today. Has been battling some serious health concerns recently but is on the mend.

Zvon May 08 2016 04:39 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Is Harvey back or what? Jeeze Matt, at least look over.

"Ya gotta have the gluteus" may not have quite the cache of Ted Williams's "Always get a good pitch to hit" as far as words of wisdom concerning hitting philosophy goes, but it does have a nice ring to it.

Edgy MD May 08 2016 05:13 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

I never compared Cespedes with Nicky Minaj. I do agree he's a lot like Mitch was as a hitter. Hey, Pads are back in it. BOOO!

Man, a bad call by Hoffman to send the runner but it looks like he was in there. A casualty of the plate-blocking rule.

R & G are giving too much credit to Wilmer's throw. Sorry guys but two-hopping it from barely beyond the infield dirt is not a good throw.

Agreed. The pitcher was running and should have been a dead duck. The throw was bouncing and offline and the ultimate call could have gone either way.

Zvon May 08 2016 05:30 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

I didn't think Matt would bat here. I know it's irregular and he has to build up strength, but I'd rather not lose this game.

Mets Guy in Michigan May 08 2016 05:30 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Harvey has become a really great 4-inning pitcher.

Zvon May 08 2016 05:31 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

BIG PURPLE HA! Harvey doubles to center! A crap, now he has to run. Nice blast.

Outfield in against our pitchers? These guys don't read the scouting reports, eh?

Cubs had a runner thrown out at home in the 11th -- so now they're in the 12th.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 08 2016 06:02 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

4 runs through 7 is great and all, but with two base runners per inning... not fantastic efficiency.

Zvon May 08 2016 06:03 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Still tied in Chicago in the 13th. I wouldn't have kept Matt in but TC does and that might just be the confidence builder he needed. I tip my cat to Collins.

Zvon May 08 2016 06:05 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

....don't smile Wilmer. 4-2 Mets, 7th, 2 out and a man on third.

Zvon May 08 2016 06:06 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

UGGHHHHHgah. A balk? His cleats get stuck? Shit, 4-3

Zvon May 08 2016 06:08 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Henderson's bringin' it. Radar says 93/94...now 95. And it looks faster.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 08 2016 06:10 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Apart from the balk, Bigfoot did his job.

From bases drunk with nobody out... Two down, one to go. Now finish the job, you magnificent bastardo.

Zvon May 08 2016 06:47 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

I would not bounce one with Plawecki back there.

That was a FUGLY game, but ultimately satisfying.

Frayed Knot May 08 2016 07:16 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

OK, one more replay rant. Who da fuck wanted to review that last play?!? Not only was the play not that close, but the Pads had already used their challenge, and if this one challenge per game/per team limit isn't going to mean anything then what's it there for? P.S. and switching the channel just in time to see Pedroia smack a 2R HR and the Box lead 2-0 two batters into the game.

Edgy MD May 08 2016 07:17 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Mets v. Padres Harvey v. Cashner

Mets now 1-0 in games where the opposition pitches both ZZ Top frontmen in the same game.
