IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Miami at NY Mets When: 1:10 PM ET, Sunday, May 7, 2017 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York By Gracenote The New York Mets spent the better part of April frustrated about their inability to score runs before watching the bats explode over the last 10 days. The Mets will try to keep the hits coming and polish off a three-game sweep when they host the Miami Marlins in the series finale on Sunday. New York pounded out a total of 19 runs in the first two games of the series and scored at least five in each of its last nine contests - seven or more in all five games since the calendar turned to May. The Mets pushed across five runs in the first inning on Saturday en route to an 11-3 triumph and are being led by 24-year-old budding star Michael Conforto, who is 13-for-33 with 12 RBIs, eight runs scored and seven walks in the last eight games. Trying to slow Conforto and the New York attack on Sunday will be right-hander Jose Urena, who is opposing struggling Mets righty Matt Harvey. The Marlins dropped nine of their last 11 and watched the pitching staff surrender an average of 7.5 runs in the last four contests. TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Florida (Miami), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Jose Urena (0-0, 2.35 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (2-2, 5.14) Urena is moving from the bullpen to take the rotation spot vacated by Edinson Volquez (thumb) and will make his 22nd career start on Sunday. Urena went 4-13 with a 5.33 ERA in those first 21 starts while yielding 12 home runs in 109 2/3 innings. The Dominican Republic native is 1-2 with a 4.13 ERA in seven career games - three starts - against New York, including a pair of relief appearances last month. Harvey allowed three or fewer runs in each of his first four starts but fell off the pace while posting losses in the last two turns. The Connecticut native started against the Atlanta Braves in each of the last two outings and was lit up for a total of 12 runs on 13 hits and eight walks in 9 2/3 innings. Harvey fared better against Miami on April 16, surrendering two runs - one earned - and seven hits in six innings without factoring in the decision. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets SS Asdrubal Cabrera left Saturday's game with an injured left thumb and will undergo an MRI on Sunday after x-rays came back negative. 2. Miami CF Christian Yelich (hamstring) sat out on Saturday but could return for the series finale. 3. New York RHP Noah Syndergaard (torn right lat) will not throw a baseball for at least six weeks.

Anthony DiComo and Steve Gelbs reporting the same thing. Steve Gelbs wrote: Matt Harvey will not start. Suspended 3 days without pay for violating team rules. He has been sent home. Adam Wilk will start. Mets not giving any more information at this point.

Did place said item in Pawlecki's locker? Why didn't they suspend him as of Monday?

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2017 02:49 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Some speculation that he was the dildo-in-the-locker guy. I can't believe this is the reason. I would be surprised if the Mets had a "team rule" about dildos! I mean, I believe that Jeff Wilpon is allowed in the clubhouse, isn't he?

bmfc1 May 07 2017 02:52 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

The whole country gets to see Adam Wilk as this game is on MLBN (out of market), likely using SNY. BTW, tomorrow's game is on ESPN but I think that it's a "co-exist" so you don't have to suffer with ESPN unless you don't have access to SNY. Wednesday's game is also on MLBN.

Edgy MD May 07 2017 03:06 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

What a mess. Half of me wants the Mets to just let this minor embarassment blow over. The other half is cheering them on.

d'Kong76 May 07 2017 03:10 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Why is Wilk referred to as dirtbag?

Edgy MD May 07 2017 03:13 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Long Beach State. The unofficial nickname of the team is The Dirtbags, and in recent years the ball team's alums make a point of wearing the tag for life.

3-0 Fish, thanks Harvey. Lawn time.

Thanks for dropping by, Adam Wilk. NEXT!

Giancarlo not wearing the jaw-guard piece anymore. I liked him better with it on. Benjamin Grimm wrote: NEXT! Ten Cranes says he better than this.

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2017 05:52 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Maybe they shouldn't let Wilk pitch to Stanton anymore.

Hey, at least those baseballs will beat the traffic.

The Derek Bell's boat line was pretty funny.

WIlk to Seawald , how did it get to this?

Frayed Knot May 07 2017 06:15 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

So other than Giancarlo Stanton, Mrs. Wilk, how was the game?

Frayed Knot May 07 2017 06:20 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Meanwhile ... we're being no-hit thru 4

Need to get the score to 7-1 and then make their move. No hits through five...

Edgy MD May 07 2017 07:01 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Well, that's seven. Looks like the Marlins are going to need their third thirdbaseman.

Edgy MD May 07 2017 07:05 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

Can somebody tell Where's Waldo? to stop peeking out from behind the score graphic and waving?

Challenge the new infield alignment with some bunting.

On the other hand, what a spongeful of shit.

What was the point of switching from Salas to Smoker? 2 outs, no one on, it's 7 frigging 0, and he makes a pointless pitching change. The last 2 Sundays: 30 runs against.

Frayed Knot May 07 2017 08:23 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs

There was a danger of the game ending in under 2:40 and that's not allowed under today's rules so the change was mandated by the offices on Park Avenue.

Benjamin Grimm May 08 2017 01:37 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - Marlins at Mets - Fish Kabobs
