IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Milwaukee at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Saturday, May 16, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Injuries and controversy have marred the last couple of years of Ryan Braun’s career, but the former MVP looks like he is regaining his power stroke. Braun will try to build on a two-homer opener when his Milwaukee Brewers visit the New York Mets for the second of a three-game series on Saturday. Braun’s return to form has coincided directly with a surge for the Brewers, who have won four of their last six games and eight of 13. Braun has 14 runs scored and 11 RBIs in the last 13 games and sent a blast into the second deck on Friday to provide the highlight for Milwaukee’s 7-0 triumph. New York is streaking in the opposite direction and saw its losing streak hit five with Friday’s loss. The Mets have dropped 11 of their last 16 games and the offense has managed three or fewer runs in 10 of those setbacks. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Matt Garza (2-4, 4.04 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (3-4, 3.46) Garza had his best outing of the season last time out but did not factor in the decision despite allowing one run and three hits in seven innings. The 31-year-old yielded three or fewer earned runs in each of his last four starts but came out with a win in only one of those outings. Garza has never lost in three career starts against the Mets, going 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA. deGrom is trying to bounce back after getting knocked around for four runs on five hits and a season-high four walks over five innings in a loss at the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The 26-year-old is 1-3 with one quality start in his last four turns and failed to make it through six innings in all three losses. deGrom made two starts against the Brewers in his 2014 rookie campaign, going 1-1 while allowing a total of three runs in 12 innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets 2B Dilson Herrera is expected to be placed on the disabled list after breaking the tip of his finger on Friday. 2. Milwaukee OF Gerardo Parra homered on Friday and has multiple hits in each of his last three starts. 3. New York SS Ruben Tejada is 1-for-9 in his last four games to drop his batting average to .205.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2015 05:24 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Duda doubles, but There's No Play for Mr. Gray. Garza makes him look bad.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 05:26 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Cuddyer looking a little long in the tooth most games.

Zvon May 16 2015 05:43 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Campbell comes up, doubles, scores. deGrom helps himself with an RBI single. 1-0 Mets after two.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 05:44 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Only one run, but considering that the 1st loop through the lineup tonight = 2 2Bs, 1 1B + a BB, I'll take it. Most games we've gone once around without even a baserunner.

Zvon May 16 2015 05:52 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Wow, what a great stop by Campbell. No play @ 1st, but stole a double. 2 on, 1 out in the 3rd.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 05:53 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Duda and Campbell with the glove love!

Zvon May 16 2015 05:54 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

DUDA!!!!!!!Flashes leather in turns it into two. Great play.

Zvon May 16 2015 06:18 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Soupy can do no wrong, like when he came up last time. Cuddy on 3rd, Muffy on 2nd,1 out. Cuddy goes on contact and beats the throw home! Big run. 2-0 Mets with an opportunity to break it open.

Zvon May 16 2015 06:20 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

deHair singles. Ducks on the pond for Flores.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2015 06:21 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Okay, watch this one get rained out.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 06:21 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

That was just grand!

This lineup is GENIUS!! -- Put your best OBA guy up 8th and then your best power threat 9th.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 06:26 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Cuddy up with another grand chance.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 06:27 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Everybody hits!

Zvon May 16 2015 06:28 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

8-0

Edgy MD May 16 2015 06:31 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Well, this somewhat more satisfying.

Zvon May 16 2015 06:34 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Wow, Murph knocks in 2 more with his 200th career double. 10-0, 4th. Raining a lil bit. Lets get this in!

Edgy MD May 16 2015 06:39 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Mets pitchers with two hits in an inning: GO.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 06:39 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

This is where someone trots out the old cliche about how if this was a prize fight it would have bee stopped already. Amazing how much that attempted play at the plate cost the Brews. Yeah they only just now got the 2nd (would have been 3rd) out, but playing all that time with 1 out rather than 2 makes closing it out seem just that much tougher. So today's lesson is: always get the out, at least that early in the game you should.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 06:40 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

If the weather forecast is looking worse, this is where you start thinking about making outs on purpose.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 06:42 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

A ten-run inning. Had we scored ten runs cumulatively in May up to this point?

Zvon May 16 2015 06:47 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

How many years did Seaver pitch before they put him on a cup?

Zvon May 16 2015 06:48 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Nice quick inning makes it all count.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2015 06:51 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

I would recommend giving fedoras away every night.

Zvon May 16 2015 07:02 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Give us 7 innings Hairball. Brewers trying to get something going. 1st & 3rd, no out. 6th.

Zvon May 16 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Approaching 100 pitches. I guess we won't get 7 out of him. 11-1

This game is way more gooder.

Zvon May 16 2015 07:39 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Plawecki goes yard (somehow I missed this). whoa, WILMAAA lifts his feet. Remarkable. Where are we at with the great Flores experiment? Home Runs: 6 Errors: 9 RBI: 15? I should factor that in somehow. CURTISBOOM! 2 run job makes it 14-1.

Gary mis-interpreting stats again, this time how Run Differential relates to Ws & Ls

Edgy MD May 16 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

We all get a mental block at some point in stat mining. Gary hits it pretty early, and I think part of it is sucking up to the jockos in the booth by saying strawman anti-nerd stuff like "Some people see run differential as the be-all and end-all." Goeddel eligible for the three-inning save tonight.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 07:51 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

I know people think I'm a grump, but not a fedora night fan. Glad it's finally over, tired of hearing about it day after day.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 07:54 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

Still holding out for straw boater night, are you?

Keith talking about Bill Madlock here. First we've heard from in two innings.

Zvon May 16 2015 08:12 PM Re: IGT 05/16 -- MIL @ NYM

I don't know about you guyz, but I needed a win like this. An offensive explosion is just what the doc ordered for me. But I can't call this a laugher after the last week. It does wipe the frown from my face, which is something.

"One Size Fits Most" is a claim open to all kinds of interpretation. I'm not quite in Bochy territory but I've got a pretty big melon. If I actually cared about getting a (100% Paper) fedora I'd likely wind up kinda pissed that I'd have to jam it on my head to come up with even a passable definition of 'fit'.

I ended up not making it to this game so I cannot attest to it's size. I believe my cap size is 7 3/4. They certainly did promote the hell out of this one though. I demand the same coverage for Lucas Duda Growth Chart Day (and why is it first 15k fans and not first 15k kids?)
