Hoping Peralta does not find his ace form and Verrett is competitive. LGM

NY Mets at Milwaukee When: 4:10 PM ET, Saturday, June 11, 2016 Where: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets look to remain perfect against the Milwaukee Brewers this season when they visit Miller Park on Saturday for the third contest of their four-game series. New York swept a three-game set versus Milwaukee at home from May 20-22 and has captured the first two meetings of this series after outlasting the Brewers 2-1 in 11 innings on Friday. Slugger Yoenis Cespedes could be breaking out of his power slump as he homered for the first time since May 23, ending a 15-game drought. Milwaukee dropped to 2-2 on its six-game homestand as it suffered its second straight loss following a three-game winning streak. The Brewers managed only three hits on Friday - one of which was a triple by Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who scored the team's lone run and robbed his former club of one with a leaping catch on a potential homer by Kelly Johnson. Hernan Perez has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games while Scooter Gennett was hitless in five at-bats Friday after going 9-for-18 over his previous five contests. TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Logan Verrett (3-3, 3.22 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Wily Peralta (3-7, 6.79) Due to a rainout that forced New York to play six games in five days, Verrett will make his fourth start of the season and first since May 14, when he was battered for seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over 2 2/3 innings in a loss at Colorado. The 25-year-old Texan made his last appearance on Tuesday, allowing one hit in two scoreless frames of relief. Verrett has faced the Brewers once in his brief career, working two scoreless innings out of the bullpen at Milwaukee on June 24, 2015. Peralta is coming off his second straight loss and fourth in five decisions, a setback at Philadelphia on Sunday in which he was tagged for six runs - five earned - and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old Dominican has yet to work more than six frames in 12 outings this season and has reached that plateau only twice. Peralta fell to 3-2 in five career starts against the Mets on May 20, when he yielded three runs and six hits over 5 2/3 innings at New York. WALK-OFFS: 1. Johnson went 2-for-4 in his first game since being reacquired by the Mets from Atlanta on Wednesday while INF Ty Kelly was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. 2. Milwaukee placed Domingo Santana (elbow) on the 15-day disabled list and recalled fellow OF Keon Broxton from Triple-A Colorado Springs. 3. New York RHP Jim Henderson, a former closer for the Brewers, suffered an apparent finger injury Friday and is day-to-day.

Triple for Curtis! 2-3-4 hitters coming up, runner on third, 0 out. We gotta score here, right? Right???

A leadoff triple AND a favorable replay review AND a walk ... and yet they seemingly invent new ways not to score. That's now 3 for 19 w/a total of 2 RBI in ABs with two or more runners on base in this series.

d'Kong76 Jun 11 2016 04:38 PM Re: IGT 6/11 Mets vs, Brewers Verrett v. Peralta

Peralta has like the worst ERA of starting pitchers and he hits his first ever MLB homer. Got 'em right where we want 'em...

Granderson now with 19 RBIs on the season, and he's driven in himself for 12 of those ribbies. That's what an absurd .138 BA w/runners on and an even more stunning .086 BA w/RiSP will do. On the flip side, he's now scored 29 runs this year meaning that he's only been driven in by someone else just 17 times. Even for a leadoff batter whose .315 OBA has put him on base only 82 times, that's still absurdly low. Not scoring following today's leadoff triple is just one example of how ridiculous this is.

The Pilots and Brewers old commercials are freakin' me out.

I'm witnessing this pile of suck in person. Bastardized is awful.

Frayed Knot Jun 11 2016 05:31 PM Re: IGT 6/11 Mets vs, Brewers Verrett v. Peralta

Well, we WERE in a position to come back in the 8th or 9th.

Edgy MD Jun 11 2016 06:01 PM Re: IGT 6/11 Mets vs, Brewers Verrett v. Peralta

This swinging at the first pitch down four in the ninth is insane.

Zvon Jun 11 2016 06:40 PM Re: IGT 6/11 Mets vs, Brewers Verrett v. Peralta

Not plating Grandy after the triple was bad, but we have been getting that done more than not. We even got that done in the 9th, too little, too late. Before last season we were ALWAYS stranding the guy on 3rd. ALWAYS!!! Today, that did hurt extra bad. But the home-run, Peralta's kaBOOM, was a sharp pointy metal tipped cowboy boot kick to the nutsack. I hope Walker is okay, but Kelly is like his clone so we should be okay there. I still want to see more of Reynolds. Could the entire problem there be that he's a righty batter?

On the plus side, I got to meet TransMonk, which was nice!

Anybody there check to see if Conforto has a pulse.

RiSPyness on both sides, ugly defense, weird lapses, and WTF home runs... if not for the big slide in left and the home team colors, I would've sworn that this series was being played in mid-'00s Soilmaster Stadium.

TransMonk Jun 12 2016 06:32 AM Re: IGT 6/11 Mets vs, Brewers Verrett v. Peralta

I had a good time with the 7 Line folks....met some new people and made fast friends. Taking over the bar before the game and parading into the stadium was more fun than sitting in the bleacher section. We got all the Mets to respond to a roll call in the bottom of the first (Yanqui-esqe for sure, but still fun to see in a visiting ballpark). The game got stinky in a hurry, though. It was very awesome to meet MGIM!
