The Mets look to move on from yesterday’s game as they face the Diamondbacks tonight. Nothing was working for the Mets yesterday. The Angels got to Colon early hitting back to back to back jacks in the first. The umpire had a crazy strikezone which led to Murphy and Wright being ejected at the same time. Positives: we will forever have in our minds (and in our records) David Wright yelling, “YOU ARE THE WORST OF ALL TIME.” Anyway Wheeler gets the nod tonight as he faces Josh Collmenter.
Wheeler is 0-2 this season allowing 7 ER over 11.0 innings with a 5.73 ERA. Last year in one start against Arizona he allowed one earned run over 6.1 innings and 6 hits while walking none and striking out 4. The Diamondbacks have the following numbers against Wheeler:
- Goldschmidt 1-3
- Hill 1-3, HR
- Prado 1-3
- McCarthy 0-2
- Parra 1-2
- Pennington 1-2
The Mets bats will get a look at Josh Collmenter who is getting his first start since 2012. This year as a reliever he has pitched 8.0 innings allowing 2 earned runs. Last year he was 5-5 with a 3.13 ERA over 49 games and 92.0 innings. Against the Mets last year he logged 6.0 innings over 3 games allowing 2 ER, walking 3 and striking out 3. The Mets have the following numbers against Josh:
- Wright 2-9, 2 HR
- Murphy 3-7, 2B
- Davis 2-4, HR
- Niese 0-5
- Tejada 2-5
- Recker 1-4
- Satin 1-2, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
