IGT 06/16 - WAS at NYM -Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jailbreak

[Edgy MD]

Max Scherzer faces Steven Matz, and he frankly doesn't know what he's up against. He just doesn't.

Ignore that warning at your peril.

[metirish]

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Scherzer is in this town
See me, Matz and the boys we don't like it
So we're getting up and not going down swinging
Hitting low looking right to left
If you see us coming to the plate I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath

Gotta be one of the top ten all time rock singers, right? It's like what Bruce Springsteen would sound like if he could sing.

Washington at NY Mets
When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, June 16, 2017
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
By Gracenote

New York Mets fans might be lamenting – once again – that their team let Daniel Murphy walk away if they weren’t focused on the club's mounting injuries. The depleted Mets hope to bounce back from a tough 24 hours when they host Murphy and the Washington Nationals for the second contest of their four-game series on Friday.

Murphy is batting .394 with seven doubles and eight homers in 26 games against the Mets over the last two seasons, including a 3-for-5 performance with a triple and two RBIs in Thursday’s 8-3 win. His continued torturing of his former team took a back seat to New York’s mounting injury woes, though, as center fielder Juan Lagares broke his thumb in the opener just hours after the club announced negative injury news regarding second baseman Neil Walker and pitchers Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard. Walker (hamstring) and Harvey (stress injury to scapula) are headed for lengthy stints on the disabled list, joining infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb), relievers Josh Smoker (shoulder/elbow) and Jeurys Familia (shoulder) and starter Syndergaard, who still is a month away from beginning a throwing program. The news damages any semblance of hope the Mets had of catching the Nationals, who lead the National League East by 9 1/2 games despite losing five of six entering the series.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, MASN (Washington), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.36 ERA) vs. Mets LH Steven Matz (1-0, 1.29)

Scherzer’s stuff has been electric of late, as he has reached double digits in strikeouts in four straight outings. The 32-year-old ace is 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA over that stretch with 48 strikeouts and five walks in 32 innings. Scherzer is 6-4 with a 2.39 ERA in 13 career appearances (12 starts) against the Mets, including a pair of outings this year that he has split.

Matz was outstanding in his season debut Saturday at Atlanta, limiting the Braves to one run and five hits over seven innings to earn the win. The 26-year-old only recorded two strikeouts but showed no signs of the left elbow injury that sidelined him at the end of spring training. Matz is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in two career starts against the Nationals.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Nationals RF Bryce Harper is 10-for-33 with two home runs during his eight-game hitting streak.
2. Mets OF Michael Conforto is 6-for-15 with three homers against Scherzer.
3. Washington is the only team in the NL - and one of three in the majors - that has not been shut out this season.

Even with neither Conforto nor Bruce locked in, that's an imposing lineup.

[G-Fafif]

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Mets! More jailbreaking!

[Edgy MD]

Not a lot of following this game.

[Guest cooby]

I am following IGT. Need score and inning

I don't get the jailbreak thingy at all

[Benjamin Grimm]

4-0 Nationals in the 7th.

You know, mlb.com is probably a better place to get the score than from the IGT.

[Frayed Knot]

It's also an ESPN game tonight (in most areas anyway) in addition to SNY & MASN, check your local listings.

When you only have seven baserunners in the game, having three of them erased by GiDPs is a bad scoring strategy.

Another chance for those terrible ESPN know-nothings to smirk. I'd like to see the Mets kick some real butt on their ESPN games for a change.

Later

[metirish]

Scherzer is a joy to watch , obviously I wish the Mets would pound him

My pleasure

Nothing like pouring gasoline on the fire Salas....

[Frayed Knot]

Two runs in, bases loaded, still an out to get, and the Nats haven't hit a ball hard all inning.
Met infielders had two chances to put this inning to bed and messed up both times.


I mean it certainly wasn't a good inning by Salas, but between bunt singles, end of the bat singles, and weak IF play, it could have been a lot better.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Riding on axles here at this point. We can start a CPF Song Parody
Contest by 4th of July weekend at this rate.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure if even the Nats bullpen can blow this one.

[Edgy MD]

The jailbreak was brief.
