Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress
Mets 2014 Franchise Season:
Game 14: (Played the whole way through controlling everything) Not a great game down in the desert at Chase Field. Niese was chased from the game after 2+ innings of work and the Mets suffered a 12-3 thrashing at the hands (fangs?) of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bright spot was David Wright who seemed to be breaking out of his slump and picked up two hits including a solo homer in the first inning.
Game 15: (Player lock as SP Jeremy Hefner) Much better time for the Mets. Hefner is not injured and came back after skipping his turn in the oration in California against the Angels to fire a complete game against the Diamondbacks giving up just one run and scattering six hits while striking out 9. Ike Davis hit his own two run homer in the game and the Mets picked up the win, 6-1.
The road trip went okay. The Mets head back to Citi Field and Queens with a record of 5-4 on the 9 game week and a half, cross country outing.
Game 16: (Player lock as SP Matt Harvey) Harvey continued to dominate. Literally that's all that happened in the game. The Braves were one hit (even better since their a division rival) and Matt Harvey threw a complete game striking out 9 along the way and improving his own record to 3-0 on the year. The Mets pick up the win 1-0 against the Atlanta Braves. Harvey also now has an 0.60 ERA and leads the All Star Voting.
Game 17: (Played the whole way through controlling everything) Bartolo Colon gets one more chance to prove himself and get revenge on a team that handed him a loss at Turner Field. In the end the performance was meh. The Mets gave him plenty of run support with David Wright hitting a grand slam in the first and Curtis "The Grandyman" Granderson hitting two solo home runs to give Colon a huge lead to work with. In the end though he only went 5 innings again and left with a pitch count in the low 90's, giving up 1 run on 5 hits. Mets went on to win the game against the Braves (and guarantee themselves another series win against them) by a score of 6-2.
The Mets are so far actually doing very well to start the year and are heating up in these last few games. The Mets have a 3 game winning streak going and have won the last 4 games they've played at Citi Field. Bartolo Colon though will not remain in the rotation for the moment though. I demoted him to bullpen duty and raised Dillion Gee to the starting rotation who has already been lights out in the bullpen this year. He'll take the second rotation spot for now and Colon will take his place in long relief from the 'pen. The current NL East standings look like this:
Washington Nationals 12-6 -
New York Mets 10-7 1.5
Miami Marlins 9-9 3.0
Philadelphia Phillies 8-10 4.0
Atlanta Braves 8-10 4.0
Quirky Side Note: The Braves have lost 4 straight to the Mets this season and the Mets have won 4/5 from Atlanta (80% win)
