Marlins right-hander Dan Straily (3-3, 4.82 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Mets left-hander Steven Matz (3-5, 3.69 ERA).
The Marlins came back from an early two-run deficit Saturday to earn a 5-2 win over the Mets and their ace, right-hander Jacob deGrom. The win completed the best month of the season for Miami (34-50), which went 14-14 while winning five of nine series.
“That’s how you climb is continue to win series, continue to win series,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly told reporters Saturday. “Hopefully somewhere in there, you throw an eight- or 10-game winning streak together to really take a chunk out of something.”
The Mets (32-48) are doing the exact opposite. New York went 5-21 in June Trace McSorley Jersey , during which it lost eight of nine series and split the other. It was the third-worst month in franchise history behind/ahead of only July 1963 (4-25) and August 1982 (5-24).
In the process, the Mets went from five games out of first place and eight games ahead of the Marlins to tie for last, 14 1/2 games out of first. The two teams are tied for the worst record in the NL, though Miami is technically percentage points ahead of New York heading into Sunday.
The Mets are 21-47 since opening 11-1, the best 12-game start in franchise history. Only the Baltimore Orioles have a worse record since Apr. 13.
The Mets have not been in last place in the NL East after July 1 since 2005, when they had a 77-77 record while occupying fifth place on Sept. 24. This squad appears far more likely to flirt with 100 losses than with .500, but rookie manager Mickey Callaway said he will continue to remain patient.
“We just have to keep on having daily conversations to try and right the ship,” Callaway told reporters Saturday. “It’s difficult right now. I know the players are feeling it. I know the fans are feeling it. We’re going to continue to do everything we can with the staff Melvin Gordon III Jersey , the organization and the players to try and get in a better spot than we are. Because this isn’t acceptable to anybody.”
Straily earned the win in his most recent start last Monday, when he allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings as the Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 9-5. Matz didn’t factor into the decision last Tuesday, when he gave up three runs over seven innings as the Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3.
Straily is 1-1 with a 3.04 ERA in five career starts against the Mets. Matz is 2-2 with a 3.67 ERA in five starts against the Marlins.
Just when you think every player’s job is safe, think again. The NFL is at an all-time high with talent, where every team has the potential to compete. Just look at the quarterback position alone, you have legitimate starters at every position. While that’s a good sign http://www.chargersfootballauthentics.com/joey-bosa-jersey-authentic , it isn’t necessarily a good thing for those players that are struggling.When there’s as much talent in the NFL as there is, there’s a short leash for starters. Those who have had a lot of success in their career should be safe, but many others are at risk of losing their job. The time is now, and teams can’t take years off to rebuild. Talent is there, and if it means benching a guy, it’s what needs to be done.Sometimes these starters don’t even lose their job because they have necessarily been bad. Many times, it’s because there are better players out there that can outplay a player who’s been complacent. Almost all of the time though when a starter is benched, it’s for a good reason. It means that the front office usually is trying to improve the team. Sometimes it’s better to see a starter lose their job Quinnen Williams Jersey , then go too long and it affects a team for the long run.Following this season, 20 players could lose their jobs as starters in the NFL. General managers will focus on improving their team and put the guy they believe gives them the best chance to win. While it may take some time to work, it’s all for the best.
