Lets take this series!
Matz will bid to win his seventh straight start when the New York Mets and Washington Nationals meet in Wednesday’s 1:05 p.m. ET rubber game at Nationals Park.
f Matz goes to 7-0 in a seven-start stretch with a win Wednesday, he would be the first Mets pitcher to do so since Steve Trachsel in 2006.
Looks like Mets might make a move regarding Harvey
Columnist Joel Sherman in the Post describes the Mets signing James Loney to cover first base during Lucas Duda’s absence as a no-brainer.
Flores went 2-for-3 and logged seven innings at first base as his rehab assignment began with Double-A Binghamton. Flores is eligible to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.
LGM!!
AGree on the first 2. Rendon is quietly really heating up. Over the past month he has an .850 OPS, last 2 weeks it's over 1.000. He's a key piece for them. He was MVP caliber 2 years back, then a turd.
I don't think it's a symptom of Harvey. Matz is quiet. Like DeGrom. Who also doesn't get headlines.

despite Murphy's hot start and the presence of Harper, Nats lineup not really all that intimidating. Zimmerman, Werth, and Rendon not really helping things at all.

I hear you on Werth and Z'man. unfortunately there is nothing we can do about either but hope...Revere missed the first month of the season and sucked for the first couple of weeks after, but he's heating up...Rendon is better after getting moved down in the order...Murph and Harper are good...Ramos is having a quite yet great season for him...Trea Turner will come up and replace Espinosa in less than two weeks and he is a much better hitter. at least he should be.
also, matz is great and make a lot of lineups look pretty mediocre especially with Harper and Revere out of the lineup today.
yeah, he was always a great defender, but he just was too one dimensional at the plate. he can blast a HR every now and then, but more than likely he's going to strike out or pop out and he's not gotten better.
Jeurys Familia has converted 32 straight regular-season saves, which breaks a tie with Billy Wagner (2006-07) for the #Mets record.
Matt Ehalt 10m
Nationals vs. Mets in 2016: Espinosa: 3-21 Harper: 1-17 Murphy: 9-22 Ramos: 4-21 Rendon: 7-21 Taylor: 1-6 Werth: 6-20 Zimmerman: 6-20
In half the games, Nats score one run or less, and in 1/3, they score zero runs vs. Mets. They're 19-18 since 9-1. Only time till Mets pass.
Mets just took a series here at Nationals Park starting Colon (43), Harvey (6.08 ERA), and Matz (stud). Nats had Gio/Strasburg/Roark.
Well, yeah, them and Bartolo
Matz really isn't that big but yeah, its nice.
Things sure changes from one season to the next
