NLDS: Mets vs Dodgers
With the Padres winning this afternoon to lock up the NL West title, the Dodgers end up the Wild Card winner and win an all expenses paid trip to Queens to take on our boys at Shea. Here’s a quick breakdown of the two teams. Pitching Mets NL Rank Dodgers NL Rank --------------------------------------------------- Staff ERA 4.16 3 4.24 4 Starters ERA 4.68 8 4.30 4 Bullpen ERA 3.26 1 4.15 8 --------------------------------------------------- Staff K/9 7.15 3 6.60 10 Starter K/9 6.61 7 5.71 13 Bullpen K/9 8.05 3 8.13 2 --------------------------------------------------- Staff K/BB 2.20 6 2.17 7 Starter K/BB 1.91 9 2.06 7 Bullpen K/BB 2.78 1 2.33 4 Batting
Mets NL Rank Dodgers NL Rank
------------------------------------------
Runs 828 3 816 4
AVG .264 9 .276 1
OBP .333 8 .348 1
SLG .445 3 .433 7
SB 146 1 126 2
SB% 81% 1 73% 6
The Mets had a terrible September, which helped drag their overall numbers down closer to where the Dodgers are. The Mets seem to have an edge in pitching, though it’s not nearly as pronounced as I would have thought. Hitting-wise, I figured the Mets to have an edge, too, though the Dodgers’ squad got on base more frequently than any team in the league. This figures to be a better matchup than many would guess given the disparity in total wins, the Mets at 97 and the Dodgers at 88. It all gets started Wednesday afternoon at 4pm at Shea, so be there or be here. 524 Responses to “NLDS: Mets vs Dodgers”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

Jon Matlack 1973 WS:
Game One (loss) at Oak: 6IP-3H-2R (none earned)-2BB-3K
Game 4 (win) at Shea: 8IP-3H-1R (again zero earned)-2BB-5K
Game 7 (loss) at Oak: 2.2IP-4H-4R-4ER-1BB-3K
Incredibly Matlack led the Mets in losses that year with a staggering 16!!
wow MetsFan short rest did hurt him, your saying the cold did him in too. I was at the game last week and was freezing my ass off I can certainly understand that.
Yep, game 4 of the NLCS vs the Reds. He hit the wall hard in the 11th inning chasing a Driessen fly ball. A very tight game which the Mets lost, 2-1.
But after missing game one of the WS, Rusty did hit .423 the rest of the WS and had 5 rbis in game 4 (he had 6 total for the series), a 6-1 Mets win. I believe his avg. led all hitters in that WS.
Game 1 Matlock got boned too, 2er and get the loss, those says pitching had a clear advantage
Correction: Staub did pitch hit in game one, but did not start.
12:46 AM - Buzz: Dodgers Will pitch Kuo in Game Two
…posted by Matthew Cerrone…
…regardless of what you see on MLB.com, or ESPN.com, or Yahoo, the buzz out of los angeles points to Dodgers LHP Hong-Chih Kuo starting in game two of the NLDS at shea stadium, while Gred Maddux will pitch in game three…
…from what i can gather, the dodgers are confident that kuo can repeat his performance from earlier in the season at shea, while feeling quite comfortable knowing maddux will pitch at home in game three…
ughh
that was from metsblog..i added the ughh at the end
alomost everyone else signed off tonight , Im looking forward to tomorrows games
yep, espn reported it too just now at the bottom of the screen
I want to se that backfire and the Mets hose Kou for about 6 runs, LA is relying alot on that kid
Game 1 is must win for the Mets
Matlack gave up ZERO EARNED RUNS in games 1 and 4.
He got shelled in game 7, but really not shelled by today’s standards :)
In game two of the NLCS vs the Reds that year, he threw a complete game, 2-hit shutout (Mets shut out the Reds 5-0).
wow he was smoking , I was akid at the time about 11 so I dont remember alot of it
that would be awesome..they really do need to win game 1…i will be serverely depressed to have flown to go to game 2 to watch kuo shut them down..i want to see some runs
Game 1 is a must win. I want the mets to have the lead. The Dodgers are a very streaky team. We get them a loss that could set them back for a while. The mets are completely healthy right now and will have that A lineup in throughout the postseason.
I was 12 at the time and recall some of that ‘73 post-season. And I will admit I looked up everything to confirm what I thought happened that year. :)
Remember the mets usually do very well the 2nd time they see a pitcher. They will be studying the tape of the game he threw against them and his last few start to pick up on patterns.
Thats all for me tonite, Ill talk to everyone tomorrow.
I agree, Rich, that will really set the tone for the series, IMHO
i agree..must win
With the way our hitting is coming around the mets should win game 1, Duque should match Lowe and then our bullpen beats thiers
i’m excited
I know, ill have a hard time sleeping the next 2 nights
have a good night fellas, see everyone at 1 pm tomorrow :-)
