IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

The champions of the weekend series in Atlanta come home to face the champions of the world. The Mets' title is more recent, thus more imposing. DeGrom to stick it to Lackey. Or deGrom's teammates will do that, while deGrom sticks it to Lackey's teammates. Something like that.

I'm hoping deGrom figures out how to not suck dePenis in this start.

Lefty Specialist Jun 12 2017 12:11 PM Re: IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

When someone pitches well for most of the season and then suddenly goes in deTank, I worry about deInjury. Hope I'm wrong and he comes out firing on all cylinders.

Chi. Cubs at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Monday, June 12, 2017 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York By Gracenote The Chicago Cubs haven’t won a road game in a month, a trend they hope to reverse when they begin a six-game trip on Monday with the opener of a three-game series against the New York Mets. The Cubs have lost eight straight away from home and haven’t won a series on the road since taking two of three at Pittsburgh from April 24-26. The Cubs snapped a four-game skid with a 7-5 win over Colorado on Sunday behind four home runs, but they’ve had a hard time generating offense away from Wrigley Field. Chicago has totaled only 12 runs during its eight-game road slide, while New York’s pitching staff has been dominant of late, allowing exactly one run in each of the last three games. The Mets won the last three contests of their four-game weekend set at Atlanta and have taken over second place in the National League East, although they remain 9 1/2 games behind division-leading Washington. Veteran right-hander John Lackey takes the mound for the Cubs in hopes of continuing his strong pitching against the Mets, as he is 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA in five career meetings. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, CSN Chicago, SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs RH John Lackey (4-6, 5.12 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (4-3, 4.75) Lackey is winless in his last four starts and has been tagged with the loss in three of those outings. The 38-year-old gave up five runs and seven hits over six innings in a loss to Miami on Wednesday. Lackey has surrendered 16 home runs in 12 starts this season, including eight in his last five turns. After putting together back-to-back dominant starts, deGrom has turned in two straight clunkers. The 28-year-old has been rocked for 15 runs and 18 hits in eight innings over his last two outings, including eight and 10 in four frames Tuesday at Texas. DeGrom is 1-2 with a 5.31 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs. WALK-OFFS: 1. Chicago RHP Wade Davis has converted his first 13 save opportunities, tying Randy Myers (1993) for the longest streak to begin a season in franchise history. 2. Mets RF Jay Bruce is 12-for-36 with four homers during his eight-game hitting streak. 3. Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo is 8-for-20 during his six-game hitting streak.

Wait a micron ... they're benching Conforto against the only righty starter that they expect to see in the series?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 12 2017 07:51 PM Re: IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

Does Granderson have a history of success against Lackey? That's the only reason I'd be able to think of. But regardless of any past history, Granderson isn't the player he used to be, and Conforto is still the player that he is.

Edgy MD Jun 12 2017 07:55 PM Re: IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

I suspect it's in part Terry having cold feet about Conforto in center.

Conforto has a stiff back. Flores scheduled day off.

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2017 08:16 PM Re: IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

Yeah, I was just about to ask if Conforto did something during the game yesterday. It would explain the late inning PH thing as well. Now the only question remains is the date of the surgery.

Joe Maddon's rubbing his hands together now that he's in possession of this supersecret injury information. Then again, I assume opposing managers work on the premise that all Mets are injured.

I feel like it's 15 or 20 years since I saw a slugger (or anybody) choke up and go the other way like that with two strikes. Rizzo looked like Rusty Staub up there. That double aside, nice inning by deGrom.

What the hell is Lackey yelling at the ump about after a 1st pitch HR. I love seeing this guy getting his ass kicked, and even better when we're the ones doing the kicking.

Yoenis has been lifted for Lagares. Concern over the legs or the earliest defensive replacement ever.

Hopefully. Probably won't see him tomorrow, though. Meanwhile, Mets infielders are cleaning up.

Cespedes day to day apparently with a sore heel. Which is not a hamstring issue or a quad issue.

Braves win 11-10 on a Tyler Flowers 3R HR in the 9th The HR made it 11-9. Nats got one back in the bottom half but Harper flied to CF with the tying run on 1st to end the game. Matt Albers was Dusty's designated closer du jour but that choice didn't work out too well as he's the one who served up the tater to Flowers. That's 3.5 games gained in three days.

At 2:23, this was the shortest NYM game of the year and the 3rd time that one of our games came in at 2:30 or less. Until around the mid-'80s, games under 2-1/2 hours were the majority and as recently as a decade ago the percentage of nine-inning games <2:30 was still in double-digits. Last year though a total 7 NYM games (out of 149 nine-inning games) came in at 2:30 or less and looks like we're on about that same pace this season.
