Miami at NY Mets
When: 1:10 PM ET, Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets are conjuring up memories from last year's club - not the team that made it to the World Series, but rather the unit that struggled through the first few months due to one of the league's worst offenses. The Mets hope to get their bats untracked as they try to avert a three-game sweep against the visiting Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon.

New York has scored a total of six runs during its four-game losing streak after wasting an overpowering 12-strikeout performance by Noah Syndergaard in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat. The Mets were forced to turn to their bullpen for 7 1/3 innings in the series opener and could be in a predicament with reliever Logan Verrett making a spot start on Wednesday. Marlins center field Dee Gordon struck out a career-high four times Tuesday but still managed to torment New York. Gordon, who batted a robust .427 versus the Mets in 2015, scored the winning run following a single that capped a franchise-record 16-pitch at-bat.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins LH Adam Conley (0-1, 7.94 ERA) vs. Mets RH Logan Verrett (0-0, 9.00)

Conley had his season debut curtailed after one inning due to rain at Washington on Thursday, a brief but erratic outing in which he was touched for three runs, two walks and a wild pitch. A second-round draft pick in 2011 out of Washington State, Conley made 15 appearances (11 starts) as a rookie and compiled a 4-1 record and 3.76 ERA. The 25-year-old Conley turned in his finest start at Citi Field with seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball on Sept. 16.

With right-hander Jacob deGrom scratched because of tightness in his lat, the Mets turned to Verrett to make the spot start, hopeful he can provide an encore from a similar situation last year. Verrett made a spot start at home against the Marlins in mid-September and delivered five solid innings, yielding one run on three hits while striking out three. The most memorable of his four starts in 2015 was eight innings of one-run ball in place of Matt Harvey.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki moved past Barry Bonds, Miami's hitting coach, for 33rd on the all-time list with 2,936 hits.
2. Mets manager Terry Collins said the team will activate RHP Rafael Montero for Wednesday's game and demote a pitcher to the minors.
3. Marlins LHP Mike Dunn had a setback during a bullpen session Sunday and will have his strained left forearm examined by the team doctor.

Kind of nice not seeing Tom Koehler this series.

[Edgy MD]

Would be even nicer to see Tom Koehler pounded.

[G-Fafif]

I'd like to hear more about where Tom Koehler went to college. It never comes up anywhere.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What kind of institution of higher learning would even accept such a moron? Just imagine the shame of those working in the recruiting and/or athletic tweeting departments of said school.

Terry's Terrors, spiritual heirs to Bambi's Bandits. Note your MLB 1B debut.

Curtis Granderson - RF
David Wright - 3B
Yoenis Cespedes - LF
Neil Walker - 2B
Wilmer Flores - 1B
Asdrubal Cabrera - SS
Juan Lagares - CF
Kevin Plawecki - C
Logan Verrett - RHP

[TransMonk]

Today would have been the day I moved Granderson out of the leadoff spot with Lagares starting.

I'll bet an ice-cold beer this has more to do with Doodoo's loafing last night than a day off vs. a lefty.

Also, WTF. RH-hitting Neil Walker isn;t a cleanup hitter. Career .340 slugging as RHB vs. LHP.

[Edgy MD]

Righthanded Walker batting cleanup.

[Guest cooby classic]

Twins worse than Mets

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Way to bust up the perfect game, Asdrubel.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Adam Koufax faces minimum thru 3 with 5 whiffs.

[Frayed Knot]

Met bats have kinda/sorta have gotten a couple balls out of the infield thru 3 innings/9 hitters.

[Edgy MD]

Sitty three hits to 3,000 for Ichiro.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Loaded up for Flo.

[Edgy MD]

Come on, Wilmer-ro.

Fouls out behind first. Fuck.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, we should have tagged and scored on that, Grand.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Awful.

[Edgy MD]

Feels like that inning was waiting for the season to start 10 days after it was supposed to, and it still not happening.

[Frayed Knot]

Even when three hits come in the same inning no runs are scored.

[Edgy MD]

Pat Zachry.

If this goes to the bullpen and the Mets lose, please don't blame the bullpen.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This game will no doubt come down to a Lucas Doodoo pinch-hitting appearance.

Koufax with his 8th strikeout...

Ha. Earlier I was watching with my father and I said: :We're back to making all opposing pitchers look like Sandy Koufax.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Look who's back!
