Jake Irvin vs Carlos Quintana

Yeah, Irvin is that guy who shut us out on 1 H/1 BB over 8 innings last week in the D of C
That was the 7/4 morning game so maybe the NYM bats weren't awake yet. Who knows, we may get at least 2 hits tonight.
The guy he faced then was the same one he'll be facing tonight. Q was very good that day as well [7 shutout, 4 H, 3 BB] but
then Adrian Houser served up the solo HR in bottom 8 and that was all she wrote.

Since we last saw them (way back last week)
- former #2 overall pick in the draft (Reds 2016) Nick Senzel was DFA'd.
- IF Trey Lipscomb promoted (Can one really ever comb their lips?)
- DJ Herz, a lefty who started one of the games we won in the last series, was sent down in favor of RHP Joan Adon (never heard of her).
- (sometimes) slugging 1Bman Joey Meneses was sent down to AAA

Jake Irvin RHP
7-6, 2.80 ERA, 94 SO

Jose Quintana LHP
3-5, 4.22 ERA, 66 SO

I just had a KTE flashback. Those were fun.

McNeal and Stewart in the lineup doesn't warm my cold, cold, heart but I guess it's get the lefties in vs the guy who skunked us last week.

Wasn't McNeil the only one who did get a hit off this guy last week?

Yes!

The scary part is, now he'll know how to pitch to McNeil. (not the other way around for the rest of the lineup)

I'm not scared. Hope McNutty goes 3-4 with multiple rib-eye steaks.
Let's score some embarrassingly large numbers of runs NOW!!!

Not bragging but just ran into Steve J Rogers on the concourse

They moved Wood up to third in the order. That didn't take long.

Well, that's something worth bragging about.

Gary, Murph, and Ron calling the game tonight. I guess no matter what happens, Daniel can only hope to be the second best Murphy in Mets broadcasting history.

I'm liking Murphy in the booth

Hopefully you'll run o to Night Crawler too

Well, there's their hit.

No, Mariano Rivera

Nimmo is on fire. I don’t know if the move from the lead off spot is a factor, but it’s working for him - and Lindor!

That's now 13 scoreless innings vs the Nats this week for Quintana
