Mets in position for a series sweep against the Nationals

Mets vs. Nationals - Game Preview - April 8, 2018 - ESPN

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ftr: I don't care about sweeps, I'm more concerned with winning as many series' as we can this season.
Taking 2 of 3, or 3 of 4, or even splitting a 4 game series from month to month, and we'll be good.

So far we've played 3, and won them all.

LGM!!


Edit: It might be time to start thinking about pitching inside to harper from now on.

Mets vs. Nationals - Box Score - April 8, 2018 - ESPN



UP NEXT:

Mets: RHP Noah Syndergaard (1-0, 5.40 ERA) starts when the Mets open a series Monday in Miami. He is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in five career starts versus the Marlins, who will start RHP Jose Urena (0-1, 4.91).



TRAINER'S ROOM:

Mets: LHP Jason Vargas (broken right hand) threw a simulated game in Florida on Saturday. "He did great. Got up and down six times," manager Mickey Callaway said. "He is progressing nicely." ... Zack Wheeler will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Wednesday's game against Miami.

Wheeler's return finally completes dream rotation
Righty joins Syndergaard, deGrom, Matz and Harvey on Mets' staff....

Zack Wheeler starting for Mets on Wednesday

Wheeler's start sets up Mets' 'Big 5' rotation

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Lugo looks outstanding out of the pen. Wish Harvey could start stretching starts to 6 innings, I would take 6 innings, 4 runs if he could give that to us every time.

Just stay healthy. A healthy Mets team is a playoff team. Great getting a sweep against the Nats this early on.

Glad we dodged Murphy this time around though.
I hear he's about 2 weeks away from coming off the DL.
