Mets Lineup

Brandon Nimmo LF
Jeff McNeil 2B
Pete Alonso 1B
Michael Conforto RF
Wilson Ramos C
Todd Frazier 3B
Luis Guillorme SS
Juan Lagares CF
Steven Matz LHP

Phillies Lineup

Andrew McCutchen (R) LF

Rhys Hoskins (R) 1B
Maikel Franco (R) 3B
Phil Gosselin (R) SS
Cesar Hernandez (S) 2B
Aaron Altherr (R) CF

Not sure its the best idea throwing Matz right back out there against the Phillies. Oh well. LGM!
Need a Matz win.

Matz's very first start a few years ago I was at the airport about to fly back to NJ for a visit and the guy taking the tickets was named Stephen Matz.

He had a great debut.
I will say this...  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 6:54 pm : link
This might be the best D we see all year with Frazier at 3B, Guiiorme at SS, McNeil at 2B, and Lagares in CF.

If we hit is another question.

@RumblePoniesBB
It's a "K" type of start for Anthony Kay. Nine batters faced. Nine retired. SEVEN strikeouts!

2-0 Ponies, Top 4
It would be great if Mets  
Vanzetti : 4/22/2019 7:47 pm : link
could get some help in the bullpen from either Kay or Peterson later this year.

Kay with two more strikeouts  
Vanzetti : 4/22/2019 7:50 pm : link
9 thru 3.2 innings
Here we go  
ChaChing : 4/22/2019 8:44 pm : link
Everything lining up - Matz v the Phils 5 days later, rain delayed start (ya both pitchers but still), B lineup...LGM!
I think Shervyn Newton  
pjcas18 : 4/22/2019 8:45 pm : link
making his season debut tonight.

Matz just got an out against the Phillies so he's already on a better start.
Well Matz has already improved over the last start

well that was nice

1-2-3
so the last four guys in the lineup are  
Chris L. : 4/22/2019 9:26 pm : link
a rusty Fraizer, Guillorme, Lagares and the pitcher. That's fours outs folks. We do we always play sub par lineups against our division rivals?
I know what you mean  
ChaChing : 4/22/2019 9:31 pm : link
but Frazier apparently has a good history v Arrieta (.300+) and got a hit & SB. Rosario is ill so Guillorme is up. After that the option is Brox or Lagares for CF. Not a whole lot of other options w/ that and Cano out too
That was a nice jam

Matzie got out of
Whatever Kapler touches  
dep026 : 4/22/2019 9:32 pm : link
Turns to shit.

I am convinced he rather them take fastball down the middle early in the count with runners on then swing at it. Hes more worried at looking his notebook than watching the game.
More Alonso  
ChaChing : 4/22/2019 9:41 pm : link
kid can hit
Pete looks like a grizzled vet  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 9:41 pm : link
Man is he fucking awesome.
Buffalo!!  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 9:45 pm : link
Whoo!!
Arrieta giving up hits w/ runners in scoring position  
steve in ky : 4/22/2019 9:46 pm : link
and Matz pitched himself out of trouble being the difference so far.
Hate to see Matz  
Metnut : 4/22/2019 9:59 pm : link
fastball velocity all the way down to 91-92mph in the 4th inning. He really has zero room for error throwing at that speed.
Well that was exciting

Several for Matz today, and pitched out of trouble when needed as well...
That was a Flying McSquirrel  
ChaChing : 4/22/2019 10:18 pm : link
I don't care if that was a strike!
I love Mcneil  
Eric on Li : 4/22/2019 10:19 pm : link
he's gotta stay in the lineup near every day. Thank god they didn't include him in the Cano deal.
It wouldn't happen during the season  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 10:22 pm : link
Most likely except occasionally but in the postseason all bets are off and I could see Lowrie at SS similar to what we did with Flores there in 2015 over Tejada.

Lineup would be filthy.

1.) Nimmo CF
2.) Alonso 1B
3.) Cano 2B
4.) Cespedes LF
5.) Conforto RF
6.) McNeil 3B
7.) Ramos C
8.) Lowrie SS

If they included him in that I would have been devastated. I honestly was losing my shit when it was even a possibility. When it went down to only Kelenic/Dunn it was like winning the lottery compared to what it almost was. wow.

Michael Mayer
@mikemayerMMO
Mets SS prospect Andres Gimenez was 2-for-6 with a double and three RBI tonight.

Now hitting .286 with .796 OPS on the season for Double-A Binghamton.
Matz is still touching 93 mph  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 10:30 pm : link
In the 6th at almost 100 pitches. That's fine for a lefty.
Nice bounce back game against a tough opponent.  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 10:34 pm : link
ERA back down to 4.03. Not bad Steven.
Lets see if the BP can close it out for him

Ramos drops. It's mind boggling.

So defensively you like d'Arnaud, Nido, Ramos, Mesoraco? Not a lot of great back stops out there.
Beautifully  
ZGiants98 : 4/22/2019 11:32 pm : link
well played game. Diaz looked unhittable.
Solid team win  
steve in ky : 4/22/2019 11:33 pm : link

I just cant believe how bad Ramos has been defensively. It's been laughable. I thought he would at least be average. It's been a joke. And yes TDA and Nido are better defensively. Especially now that TDA has his arm back and repaired. But we have Ramos in the lineup for his bat. Im anxiously awaiting his first hot streak. We are just going to have to live with him riffing on 1 out of every 4 pitches. lol
