7/9 IGT - Nats @ Mets - 7:10 start (or there abouts)

[Frayed Knot]

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.

[cal sharpie]

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

[kcmets]

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

Yes!

[MFS62]

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!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

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

[Lefty Specialist]

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.

[metirish]

I'm liking Murphy in the booth

Hopefully you'll run o to Night Crawler too

[MFS62]

Well, there's their hit.

No, Mariano Rivera

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

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!

[Frayed Knot]

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