NFT: 7/31 Harvey Day vs Nats

...

26.2 : 7/31/2015 1:49 pm : link

you guys have the pitching matchups this series to sweep. sundays matchup should be the only one we're favored in (J Zim vs. syndergaard) and even then its still close. Nats just need to take one game of the three to stay in 1st. perhaps the biggest series of the season so far!

Mets need to win 2 of 3 badly.

Victor in CT : 7/31/2015 1:50 pm : link

They can't drop this series.

Biggest series Citi will see since it was built.

The Mets have to make a statement this weekend. No way around it. Harvey has to be on point tonight.

I'm oddly nervous about Harvey

Ten Ton Hammer : 7/31/2015 2:01 pm : link

Feel like he gets knocks around.

Harvey needs to show up

gmen9892 : 7/31/2015 2:04 pm : link

Tonight. Last time he went out against them he didnt pitch too well. This might be the biggest game that Harvey's pitched in a Mets uniform so far. Need him to step up.

I'm a nats fan and we are pitching Gio tonight against Harvey. Trust me, you guys shouldn't worry at all. not that Gio sucks its that our BP kind of sucks (though adding papelbon did help) and Gio never goes very deep into games. your hitters just need to work the counts and Gio will be at 100 pitches in inning 5 or 6.

Pre-TJ I would be very confident about tonight. Harvey has been hit or miss this year though. I don't think he'll be 2013 Harvey again until next year. We see it in spurts but he's been hit harder in a few starts this year than we got accustomed to.

Really depends on which Harvey shows up tonight.

Im very worried about our bullpen

spike : 7/31/2015 2:21 pm : link

Even if we get a lead and Harvey pitched well

...

26.2 : 7/31/2015 2:25 pm : link

hearing you guys are going all in for Cespedes. there were some rumors we were in on him too, but it makes more sense for you guys.

Very curious to see Harvey's first fastball

Shecky : 7/31/2015 2:43 pm : link

Can he crack 100? My guess, 99.

Cespedes and TDA in the lineup?

Torrag : 7/31/2015 4:10 pm : link

Cespedes is in Baltimore can he arrive by gametime?

Now if only we could trade Collins for a bucket of chum we'd be contenders.

Final tweak...add one more bullpen arm

Torrag : 7/31/2015 4:15 pm : link

Parnell is done. If you're going for it don't hold back...

Exhale....refocus

Torrag : 7/31/2015 4:35 pm : link

Huge game tonight It's almost a must win.

Fred doesn't have a Helicopter?

Rflairr : 7/31/2015 4:40 pm : link

They should make sure he gets here by gametime

Get

spike : 7/31/2015 4:44 pm : link

Cespedes in there tonight!!

Collins now has his chance.

Torrag : 7/31/2015 5:31 pm : link

He's had the 'talent' excuse to cover up for his head scratching moves and mediocre results. The horses are in the barn. Get it done or GTFO.

I'll just put this here

whats Campbell doing there instead of Conforto

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 5:47 pm : link

Tough lefty

Duda has been to hot to sit him down against the Nats

steve in ky : 7/31/2015 5:49 pm : link

Play your best guys in this kind of series and don't over think it.

Sandy said that today Zack Wheeler called him

steve in ky : 7/31/2015 6:00 pm : link

this afternoon and told him to not trade him and Sandy said that had a impact on him ; that he really wants to be part of the NY Mets.

Conforto likely demoted so Cespedes can be used today

We are facing a tough lefty

ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 6:11 pm : link

That's why Duda and Conforto are sitting. Conforto is also 0 for the week!

Conforto will be available off the bench and a move will be made

ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 6:12 pm : link

Before tomorrow's game.

I like this...

These pitchers know we are on the verge of something special and want to be a part of it. It may not happen this year but we've given ourselves a chance with our deadline acquisitions.

Matt has had time to settle in and shake off the TJ rust. His last start was vintage Harvey. If we're going to make a run at this we need him to be that guy down the stretch. It starts tonight vs the Nationals.

Like this Alderson quote about 4 rentals

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 6:19 pm : link

"We'll deal with next season later"

Time for Harvey to step up

Rflairr : 7/31/2015 6:19 pm : link

If you want to be a big dawg. This is the type of game he needs to come up big.

Harvey's last

ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 6:20 pm : link

Start was the first of the year that he had "his slider" according to him. He could be rounding into 2013 form.

No more 6 man rotation

We've protected Harvey and Thor as much as we could during the first half. If we're going to make a run we need Harvey/DeGrom/Thor starting 60% of our games.

We need Matt Harvey to be a fucking bulldog tonight.

arcarsenal : 7/31/2015 6:38 pm : link

Go out there and show this team that we're not going to make their lives easy and that we want this division. This is such a huuuuuuge chance to make a serious statement.

Eh.

ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 6:38 pm : link

I'm a little worried about Syndergaard. We don't need him going from 130 to over 200. That would be a big risk. We can skip him though.

yep win tonight without Cespedes

Torrag : 7/31/2015 6:39 pm : link

Win the series tomorrow night with him. Then get the brooms out...

Balancing act.

The way he's pitching, how can you shut him down? The last few starts he's been almost every bit as good as DeGrom. Every win matters. But you're right, the innings matter too.

Watching DW

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 6:41 pm : link

taking ground balls this afternoon and his interview on the pregame show, he looked fluid. I know a setback can happen if he sneezes wrong but

Granderson
Murphy
Wright
Duda
Cepedes
TDA
Cuddyer
Tejada

Bench
Uribe Johnson Flores Plawecki Lagares

You shutdown Thor when you have to

Torrag : 7/31/2015 6:42 pm : link

Matz should be ready to step in by then. You can't wait for September to make your move. Now is the time. The schedule is favorable. Take the division lead and fight your way to the finish line.

You know for a team that gets abused

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 6:49 pm : link

Flores crying and Wheeler calling SA wanting to stay, says a lot

HH one thing that's been clear about the club this season

Torrag : 7/31/2015 6:51 pm : link

They are good bunch of guys and are trying hard. The roster was thin and injuries hurt but they battle. Now they've gotten reinforcements they could be a dangerous group down the stretch.

Cepedes will wear number 52

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 6:57 pm : link

Carlos Torres gave him his number, don't know Torres's new number

I'm glad Wilmer gets to stay.

arcarsenal : 7/31/2015 6:58 pm : link

I was excited about the prospect of Carlos Gomez as a Met again but it really broke my heart watching that kid get all choked up on the field like that. The Mets are all he knows. He grew up with this team and in this organization. He didn't want to leave.

Cespedes

Wilmer

WOW

RodneyHamp : 7/31/2015 7:15 pm : link

What a play by Wilmer!!

Hat tip to the Met fans

Shecky : 7/31/2015 7:17 pm : link

What an awesome ovation for Flores

Team

NJGiantFan84 : 7/31/2015 7:18 pm : link

came to play today. Great plays by Murph and Wilmer. I was worried they would implode after the loss yesterday, doesn't appear to be the case.

Glad Flores is still a Met too. The kid has a ton of potential and will be a player in the near future. We all know it's a business, but it's got to be tough on some of these young players to hear you name in trade rumors or to be traded at a moment's notice.

Ugh

Rflairr : 7/31/2015 7:25 pm : link

Tejada

Tejada K's on a pitch at his eyes

Giants4246 : 7/31/2015 7:27 pm : link

Murph K's looking

Gio Gonzalez

Headhunter : 7/31/2015 7:30 pm : link

owns the Mets. This guy I want to beat more than anyone on their staff. He is a Met killer and just OK against everyone else

Harvey's dealing tonight. He's focused.

Four Aces : 7/31/2015 7:34 pm : link

Great to see.
