IGT #13 4/19 Muno Home Opener vs Marlins

[Ceetar]

I hope I'm not putting the cart before the Texiera here but I've got a busy day tomorrow what with this baptismal thingy and like 30.8 people in my house after that.

If it's not the Muno Home Opener consider it the Kirk starting home opener, or the Muno should've started home opener.


As I understand it, It's Matt Harvey and the Mets trying to flush Kohler and the fish.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

May we end up singing "Muno Over Miami" at the end of the game.

[Lefty Specialist]

Show me the Muno!!!!!!!!!![/bigpurple]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That Tom Koehler sure is poorly educated. I wonder what school, if any, would take him?

[Edgy MD]

Nieuwenhuis is 2-4 vs. Koehler. Double and a homer.

Miami at NY Mets
When: 1:10 PM ET, Sunday, April 19, 2015
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets haven�t posted a winning record at Citi Field since 2010, but their four-year run of futility at the venue appears to be coming to an end. The Mets attempt to match their best start at home in team history since going 6-0 in 1985 on Sunday when they look to complete a four-game sweep of the Miami Marlins.

New York won for the 21st time in 30 games at Citi Field against Miami in Saturday�s 5-4 win, getting seven scoreless innings from Jacob deGrom as well as homers from Travis d'Arnaud and Wilmer Flores. The victory was the Mets� seventh straight, one shy of their longest winning streak since an eight-game surge from June 10-18, 2010. Miami kept getting solid individual contributions from key players � Giancarlo Stanton went deep in the first two games of this series to extend his homer streak against the Mets to five games before going hitless on Saturday � as Dee Gordon had three RBIs and recorded his second career five-hit game. Gordon sparked a three-run ninth inning rally with a two-run single Saturday, but it wasn�t enough to keep the Marlins from their third three-game losing streak in the first two weeks of the season.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Dumbass Tom Koehler (1-1, 3.18 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (2-0, 2.25)

Dumbass Koehler became Miami's first starter to earn a victory in Tuesday�s 8-2 win in rainy Atlanta, surrendering a pair of solo shots among his six hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings. The 28-year-old New York native, who has squared off against the Braves in both of his starts, is allowing opposing left-handed hitters to bat .321 while holding right-handers to a .143 average. Dumbass Koehler went 0-2 despite a 2.97 ERA in five turns versus the Mets last year and is 1-3 with a 2.67 ERA in 12 career appearances (nine starts) against them.

Despite giving up two homers in a game for only the second time in 38 career starts, Harvey logged his second win in as many turns following Tuesday�s 6-5 victory against Philadelphia. The No. 7 overall selection of the 2010 draft yielded three runs on five hits while fanning eight to push his strikeout total to 17. Stanton has yet to register a hit in six at-bats versus Harvey, who went 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA in four starts during his last full season in 2013.

WALK-OFFS:
1. New York can match its best 13-game start (10-3) with another victory on Sunday.
2. The Marlins claimed LHP Matt Tracy off waivers from the New York Yankees.
3. Saturday marked the first time in five games the Mets did not trail.

I would find it ironic if Tom Koehler pulls the train off the track.

I guess Tejada is in for defense.

[Edgy MD]

Tejada's in for victoire. That's a sexy Sunday lineup, but interestingly, d'Arnaud stays in there.

[Edgy MD]

Smarvey avoids any first-inning homers and gets two whifferinos. [fimg=69:1idcx3un]http://cdni.wired.co.uk/1240x826/k_n/Like.jpg[/fimg:1idcx3un]

[Edgy MD]

Seems like, as with the last start, when Harvey gets hit, it's when he's farting around too much with the off-speed stuff.

[Zvon]

Rip.

[Edgy MD]

Not an impressive turn by Murph, catching the ball going away from the bag and relaying the ball in a lane outside the base path, rather than inside.

[dinosaur jesus]

I guess they would have confirmed an out call, too, if the Marlins had challenged. Awfully close.

[Edgy MD]

Good point.

Tom Koehler, meanwhile, being his usual upsetting self.

[ashie62]

Mets making Tom Koehler look entirely too good.

We need a baserunner.

[Edgy MD]

Grandy obliges and ups his average to .150.

[Gwreck]

Bases loaded, no outs. Time for some runs!

[Zvon]

We GOTTA score at least one here.

[Edgy MD]

Daniel Murphy: Zero career grannies.

[Zvon]

Only one? Boooo. Ha, I'm spoilt.

1-1 Mets. great hitting Muff

[Zvon]

That's better. Thank you Mr Lagares.

2-1 Mets

Kirk Nieuwenhuis: Zero career grannies.

[Edgy MD]

Show some hustle, Duda. That's a wild pitch.

[ashie62]

This is big fun.
