NY Mets at Milwaukee When: 2:10 PM ET, Thursday, June 25, 2015 Where: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets look to avoid a fruitless road trip when they conclude their eight-game trek against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday afternoon. New York has scored nine runs and is batting .159 during the season-high seven-game skid while falling to 10-26 away from Citi Field, which is second only to Philadelphia (9-29) for the worst road record in the majors. Curtis Granderson is doing his part by belting a solo homer in three of his last four contests, but the Mets mustered just two additional hits in a 4-1 setback on Wednesday. Milwaukee entered the series having lost eight of its previous nine before winning back-to-back contests to improve their majors-worst home mark to 13-24. Ryan Braun had an RBI single among his two hits Wednesday and is 5-for-11 with three runs scored in last three games. The five-tool player routinely has been flustered by Thursday starter Jacob deGrom, going 0-for-7 in his career with two strikeouts. TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), MLB Network PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (7-5, 2.34 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Taylor Jungmann (2-1, 3.50) DeGrom suffered his first loss since May 11 despite allowing just two runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings in a 2-1 setback to Atlanta on Friday. The 27-year-old improved to 2-1 in his career versus Milwaukee after permitting just one run on five hits in six frames in a 14-1 rout on May 16. DeGrom is 4-1 in his last seven starts, yielding one homer and six walks in that span. Jungmann made the most of his third career start as he allowed four runs in six innings to pick up the win at Coors Field against Colorado on Friday. The 25-year-old pitched well in his lone outing at home, but was saddled with the loss despite permitting two runs in five innings against Washington on June 14. Jungmann has yielded one homer and walked four batters in 18 innings this season. WALK-OFFS: 1. Milwaukee RHP Francisco Rodriguez has converted both save opportunities versus his former team and his 363 career saves are four shy of Jeff Reardon for eighth place on the all-time list. 2. New York CF Juan Lagares and 1B Lucas Duda are struggling mightily on the road trip, with the former going 3-for-26 while the latter is 3-for-25. 3. The Mets (36-37), who reside below .500 for the first time since going 2-3 after five games, have struck out 53 times during the road trip.

Clearly, Monk is a jinx. Get him out of there!

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 12:42 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

Two innings / two baserunners erased. The Mets are trying to get to a situation where [Insert Pitcher Here] faces the minimum despite 3 hits plus a walk in the first 7 batters, but he'll be at least one over the limit unless deGrom can get a hit here.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 12:44 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

Can't score if you don't hit; Mets can't score even when they do hit.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 01:04 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

New adventures in not scoring come up as [Inset Pitcher Here] retires just 5 of the first 11 hitters he faces yet allows no runs.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 01:15 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

We've yet to have a baserunner thrown out at 3rd today, I think that should be our goal this inning.

I'm looking at the replays. He looked safe to me but I'll have to view them full screen later. Jeeze, whats the point of the challenge if the umps fuck that up too?

Bob Geren auditioning to be the next Mets manager, trying to work with a 1-0 lead.

deGrom's stretchability comes in handy!

Bottom of the order rally for the Mets? Grandy with men on base.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2015 02:08 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

Ah, deGrom runs the bases like a Met.

I foresaw two outcomes for Tejada's AB, the K was the better of the two.

Well, on a slow roller, with Lucas Duda running, you've got to hustle or you're not getting him. Still, 2 runs on 10 hits and a handful of walks.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 02:18 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

Now the only problem is that deGrom just spent the last half-hour on the base paths.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2015 02:43 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

Just your customary late-game stellar Met infield defense. No big whoop.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2015 02:45 PM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

HUGE DP for a number of reasons - not the least of which was that the pitcher's spot leads off meaning that they'd have had to double switch if Familia was needed in the 8th meaning probably Ceciliani being pulled for Lagares and then you couldn't simply bring Lagares in in the 9th for either Cuddyer or Granderson instead.

He didn't.

I'm hoping the crucible of pitching with little-to-no margin for error is making men out of these young pitchers. I get the idea — from last season as well as this one — that it's terribly unhealthy for Colon. That if he knows the team can give him some support, he can stay around the plate, give up 1-3 runs, pitch deep into the game, and the offense and the bullpen can pick him up. But if he loses faith in his offense/defense/bullpen, and knows he's got to hold the other team to 0-1 runs, he ends up trying to be too fine, working against his strength, and giving up seven.

They'll trade him, I'm rooting for him to have a couple more nice (I hate quality) starts and buhbye...

My fear is that he's all done and his next few starts make him worthless. nah, he had some clunkers last year too and then rounded out again. I suspect there's some combination of tight umpire strike zones and being just a bit off that he can't deal with. (much the same with Gee actually)

Edgy MD Jun 26 2015 07:57 AM Re: IGT 6/25/15 NYM @ MIL: Beat, The Mets

I'm not sure if we're talking about Niese or Colon here.
