IGT Sat Apr 7 Mets @ Nats

[Fman99]

Eighty seven hours from now, when the Mets play again. Steven Matz vs Gio Gonzalez, 1:10 start.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It would really be a great time for Matz to step up.

[Fman99]

Fridays without a scheduled game are hella stupid.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, but fortunately it's just an anomaly because Thursday was the Nationals home opener. There are no more vacant Fridays remaining on the schedule.

They seem to have taken the precip out of the DC forecast for Saturday afternoon.
Showers ending around 7 AM Saturday. Cloudy & 41 at game time w/not much wind.
Hardly ideal, but not as bad as earlier projections.

Sunday won't be much warmer, but at least the sun will be out.
Oh wait, no it won't ... it's an April night game?!!?!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Matz Saturday, Harvey Sunday?

[Guest d'Kong76]

That's what they're saying, at least for now.

They already did Dodgers Giants last weekend. Yankees and Red Sox play in-division but not each other so they want to save it I guess.

Cubs Brewers? meh I guess.

Nice inning for Matz. That swing-and-miss by Harper was quite satisfying.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Interesting booth tidbit earlier; Mets set a record over the first 6 games
with the most strikeouts ever to start a season. (forgive me, I forget the
number but it was a high number)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess Mickey likes Matz as a hitter. He was swinging away with one out and a runner on first. It didn't work out; Steven hits into an inning-ending double play.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice play by Lagares! Runner from second thrown out at home on a single up the middle.

[ashie62]

Nice save by Flores on d'arnaud's throw.

Mets unis are vivid colorful like a 1967 Topps baseball card.

[Edgy MD]

Remember where you come from, Reynolds.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Matz 8 K's through five, pitch count getting up there.

[Edgy MD]

d'Arnaud ties her up.

Our catchers rool.

[ashie62]

d'Arnaud and his hoodie go RBI

Ooofa!

[ashie62]

Frazier, d'Arnaud, Bruce, three hits in a row

[ashie62]

Lagares & Reyes flop. Could been a biggie inning

[Edgy MD]

Rosario leads off with a hit as the tying run.

Hit and run, Mets!

[Edgy MD]

Or double him home. That's good too!!

[ashie62]

Wow! that was exciting!!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Rosario flashing all 8 cylinders!

[Edgy MD]

Big test for Mickey. Conforto hits for Flores, so does he go into right with Bruce moving in to first? We need to make that move, Mick.

METS TAKE THE LEAD!

[Guest 41Forever]

Nice clutch hitting from Cabrera.

[Lefty Specialist]

Watching this in DC, and boy do I miss GKR. These guys are awful.

Nothing personal, Adrian Gonzalez, but booo!
