IGT, 5/29 MIA@NYM

[Edgy MD]

Mets get a day off at home, the sickies get 48 hours to heal, Matt Harvey takes the bump, and the opposition is the a team in dysfunctional disarray.

Friday night baseball.

[Centerfield]

The bad news is, we are no longer playing the Phillies.

[ashie62]

I thought midnight was the protocol for starting an i.g.t., oh well.

[Edgy MD]

Well, Miami, losers of 13 of their last 16, have displaced Philadelphia at the bottom of the division. Mets are 5-2 against them.

On top of all that, they're in open rebellion against their management.

I'll take a visit from such a team any time.

Miami at NY Mets
When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, May 29, 2015
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

Matt Harvey and the New York Mets look to continue their early-season home dominance when they host the reeling Miami Marlins on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series. New York became the second National League team to reach 20 wins at home with a three-game sweep of division rival Philadelphia.

The Mets swept a four-game home series from Miami last month, which, coincidentally, followed a three-game sweep of the Phillies at Citi Field. Since a 9-1 spurt pulled them to .500 at the beginning of May, the Marlins have been in a steady free fall, including an eight-game skid that led to the dismissal of manager Mike Redmond. Miami scored five runs during a three-game sweep at Pittsburgh to fall to 3-14 over the past 17 games, including 2-8 under interim manager Dan Jennings. "I still believe in these guys," said Jennings, who moved from the front office to the dugout. "There's a heck of a lot of talent out there that's showing positive things."

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Dan Haren (4-2, 3.09 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (5-2, 2.91)

Haren saw his winless drought extend to three starts despite a strong performance in his last turn when he blanked Baltimore on seven hits over six innings. The 34-year-old has limited the opposition to two runs or fewer in five of his last six outings but has received a total of four runs of support in his last three trips to the mound. Haren is 4-3 with a 4.82 ERA in 12 appearances (11 starts) against New York.

Harvey is coming off the worst start of his career, getting shelled for seven runs on six hits over four innings of an 8-2 loss at Pittsburgh. The Mets have pushed across a combined six runs in the last four starts for Harvey, who had tossed 15 scoreless innings in his previous two turns. Harvey, who is seeking to halt a four-start winless drought, beat Miami on April 19 despite giving up four runs on eight hits in six innings.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Mets 1B Lucas Duda has homered three times and scored six runs during a four-game hitting streak.
2. Marlins RF Giancarlo Stanton is 6-for-40 in his last 11 games and 1-for-9 lifetime versus Harvey, who is 3-0 at home.
3. Mets LF Michael Cuddyer also is riding a four-game hitting streak that includes a pair of homers and five RBIs.

I like the dropping of the struggling Lagares in the order.

Not sure about replacing him with Tejada...but I'd love him to make me sure.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Harv is gonna come out tonight and show who's who!
I hope.

[Zvon]

There is no doubt.
I also hope.

They gotta come up with some kinda new 21st century Mets bullpen cart for that walk in for the starter. A 3 seater for the pitcher, catcher, & coach. Warthen should drive em in while they wave from the back seats.

[Guest d'Kong76]

K's the side... ten pitches, bitches!!

[Zvon]

I thought he was tipping off his slider but what do I know. I also thought the last strike was a curve ball. Booth says slider. No matter, niiiiice pitch.

[Zvon]

Tejada sees one pitch from the 2 slot. One pitch, ground out.

Work that pitcher kid.

[Zvon]

Duda smacks one 400 feet to center. Nice poke but just a long out.

0-0 after 1

[Guest d'Kong76]

5K's through two

[Zvon]

Wow. Ronnie used the same baseball glove from 1985 to 1995. Amazin'.

[ashie62]

Did the booth say D'Arnaud was reinjured with a bone bruise.

Yes, and that was the first I had heard of that.

Same here on Darnow.. Lets hope for the best.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way you bunt, Dee Gordon.

[Edgy MD]

Now things get danjruss. Stanton up with two on and no outs.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bour with a quieting blow!

[ashie62]

If that was Justin Moore that's the same guy that broke up Shelby Miller's no- hitter

[ashie62]

DOODAH!

[Zvon]

Missed the last 15 minutes. Damn. Bour? & Duda hit another? Niiiice.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Well, they got one back.
