Jacob deGrom tossed 7 scoreless innings, Lucas Duda hit a 2 run homer (10) the Mets beat the Marlins Saturday afternoon in Miami 4-0. deGrom was brilliant earning his first Major League win tossing 97 pitches over the 7 frames. The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th when Chris Young’s single to center brought home David Wright. In the 6th Wright’s added an RBI single bringing home Eric Young and it was 2-0. In the top of the 9th Wright led off with a double and then Duda blasted his 10th homer of the year to right to cap the scoring. That was more than enough for deGrom and the Met bullpen. deGrom went 7 allowing 5 hits he walked 3 and struck out 7. He improves to 1-4 on the year. Jeurys Familia pitched the 8th and Jenrry Mejia pitched the 9th in a non-save situation. Tom Koehler pitched 7 strong innings for the Marlins allowing both runs and striking out 8 he gets tagged with the loss he’s now 5-6. Wright was the leading hitter for the day as he good road trip continues. He went 3 for 4 with an RBI. The Mets are now 3-3 on this road trip and are 34-41 on the year overall and 18-21 on the road. Sunday wraps up the series and the road trip. Jonathon Niese (3-4 2.67) goes for the Mets, Anthony DeSclafani (1-1 5.60) goes for the Marlins.
i don't know if it's been discussed but is anybody else digging EY in the #9 spot ?? I feel like it could work (minus Colon starts)...this win has given me a glimmer again.. TaD retuning soon maybe w a bat, as is JL and DG..DeGroom gets his win, bullpen young w hope, Wright getting hits again , CY maybe reversion to mean(?!?), Duda steady, Flores w a nice 2 stike double today..ZachW shines, Niese just been a solid lefty...ya gotta believe only 5 games outta first... if we were ever buyers at trade deadline.. .. .. ......

ReplyDeleteNot to burst the bubble on being buyers. The Mets are still in the bottom 7 of all 30 MLB teams. They do need to be buyers to restore the fan base. They also need to be smart and not make trades that will only help us short term. They need to add players that can help now and will help for the next 3 or 4 years.
The Mets will not make the playoffs this year. What I am hoping for is a winning 2nd half. Adding a couple of exciting young players like Joc Pederson would be nice.
There is not a position player on the team on whom I would not listen to offers. None would be forthcoming on Granderson or Wright due to their contracts, of course. You can't trade Lagares due to his injury. The rest are up for grabs (not that anyone would want most of the rest except Murphy).

ReplyDeleteYou'll get nibbles on Dice-K and Abreu. Both should bring some prospect that will be ready in the year 3012.
There will be teams asking about Niese, deGrom, and Murphy. I just don't see the Mets leaving themselves without a LHSP... Steven Matz learned quickly that he's got a way to go.
deGrom and Murphy could re-define this team. They don't need SPs (Harvey, Wheeler, Niese, Gee, Thor, Colon) in 2016, but trading those two could secure then one top prospect for deGrom and two for Murphy... you could end the speculation on who is going to play 2B, SS, and LF for this team in 2015
