This looks like a tough road trip right now. but, hell, they were so miserable at home in this last stand maybe it will actually help to get out on the road.

Mets, D-backs struggling ahead of clash after hot starts
NEW YORK — For 39 straight days between April 4 and May 12, the Arizona Diamondbacks or the New York Mets held at least a share of the best record in the National League. But those five-plus weeks may seem like ancient history Friday night, when the struggling teams meet for the first game of a three-game series at Citi Field.

The Mets’ Jacob deGrom (3-0, 1.83 ERA) is scheduled to take on the Diamondbacks’ Zack Godley (4-2, 4.08) in a battle of right-handers.

The Mets and Diamondbacks were off Thursday after suffering lopsided losses on Wednesday. New York fell to visiting Toronto 12-1 and host Arizona was beaten by Milwaukee 8-2.

[Dback Jon]

Good to see Lamb bam back

 

[Shaggy]

They moved goldy back one. We will see if this helps.

Souza and Lamb both hitting ahead of Goldy. I like it! When I proposed that Goldy be moved down in the order, I said that I would like to see Souza move to his #3 spot. Second with the lefty Lamb third, to break up the lefties, is OK.

I'm glad to see Ahmed benched vs. the righty so Descalso can remain in the lineup, with Marte moving to SS. I expect it won't be permanent, but I wish it were, with Ahmed starting vs. lefties.

Edit: Godley vs. deGrom. The stats say 'no way, Godley'. We'll see what happens.

 

[Dback Jon]

Lamb fits right into lineup, follows Souza's strike out with one of his own

 

[Dback Jon]

Meanwhile, Godley issues a four-pitch walk to first batter he faces

 

[Dback Jon]

And the game is likely over. Error by Descalso, Mets score a run without getting a hit. Should have ended the inning, but only one out now.

 

[Dback Jon]

And first hit brings in another run.

Dbacks in a hole 2-0.

Game over

 

[Dback Jon]

AND weak popout by Goldy

AND weak popout by Goldy

With Descalso playing follow the Goldy

 

[Shaggy]

Looks like the started where they left off.....batting horribly.

 

[Shaggy]

And first hit brings in another run.

Dbacks in a hole 2-0.

Game over

Sad but so true.

 

[Dback Jon]

After 2 innings of at-bats, Dbacks have zero base runners

 

[Dback Jon]

Godley gives up a walk, but no damage

 

[Dback Jon]

HOLY COW!! Avila gets a hit!!

 

[AZCB34]

HOLY COW!! Avila gets a hit!!

Trade him while is value is at its highest!

 

[Dback Jon]

Peralta strands Avila at second.

 

[Dback Jon]

Godley allows two baserunners, but no runs allowed
