Somebody got an ace up in there? How about you deGrom? We could use it. Wily Peralta goes for the would-be sweeping Brewers.

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 03:37 AM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

And picking this game to walk less than a half dozen would be a nice start, Jake.

Please win today Mets

NY Mets at Milwaukee When: 2:10 PM ET, Sunday, May 14, 2017 Where: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin By Gracenote If the loss of six-time All-Star Ryan Braun to the 10-day disabled list was supposed to slow down the Milwaukee Brewers' surprisingly powerful offense, forgive the New York Mets if they can't tell the difference. The Brewers attempt to complete a sweep of the visiting Mets and post their sixth victory in seven contests Sunday, when the teams wrap up their three-game series. Braun landed on the DL with a left calf strain prior to Friday's opener, but Milwaukee belted a season-high four home runs to secure a 7-4 win. Travis Shaw did his best Braun impersonation in Saturday's 11-4 rout, going 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs to lead the Brewers' 16-hit attack and lift their major league-best home run total to 60. After winning five of their previous six, the Mets have dropped three straight to find themselves three games under .500 (16-19). Neil Walker continues to swing a hot bat for New York, however, going 5-for-8 this weekend while clubbing a solo home run in each of the first two games of this series to lift his May batting average to .333 after hitting .195 last month. TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (2-1, 3.80 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Wily Peralta (4-2, 5.30) Despite posting his fourth double-digit strikeout performance in five outings with 11 on Monday against San Francisco, deGrom settled for a no-decision after giving up three runs - including two homers - in six innings. The Stetson product ranks second in the National League with 60 strikeouts, but he also is among the NL leaders in walks with 19 - including 14 over his last four turns. The Florida native has fared well in five career starts versus Milwaukee, going 3-1 with a 2.32 ERA. Peralta has fallen off a bit since winning each of his first three starts while posting a 2.65 ERA, going 1-2 in his last four turns while surrendering a total of 16 runs, 27 hits and eight walks over 18 2/3 innings. The 28-year-old Dominican did not factor in the decision Tuesday versus Boston despite permitting four runs on five hits and three walks in 4 1/3 frames. Peralta won his only home turn versus the Mets last season after allowing three runs in five innings to improve to 4-2 with a 3.53 ERA in six career starts against them. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Brewers are three games over .500 (20-17) for the first time since Sept. 27, 2014. 2. After playing 1,652 career contests as an infielder, New York SS Jose Reyes made his first appearance in the outfield Saturday. 3. Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning on Saturday was the club's largest single-inning outburst since it scored eight times in the third against San Francisco on April 16, 2013.

[list:2qko22yd]1. Foil the shift. 2. Win the pennant.[/list:u:2qko22yd] I'm curious how short- or long-term this Conforto-in-the-three-hole show is going to be.

Let's keep him there

Edgy MD May 14 2017 07:40 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Keep it going, Mets. Don't stop until you've scored in mid-twenties.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 07:41 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Walkie, you are SUCH a wet blanket.

Thames seems to have bigger guns every time he comes to the plate.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Now Thames can make a big chunk of that rally disappear, which would really make that lost run loom large.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 07:52 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Wow. Big out. Now let's finish it.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 07:56 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Boom, lowered.

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 08:02 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Through 5 innings and "only" 80 pitches for deGrom. Still slightly more than you want to see from your guy but a good chunk lower than what we have been getting lately.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 08:03 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

deGrom keeps whacking the ball like that and Matz' grandpa is going to start dancing.

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 08:23 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Now saying that someone is a single short of a cycle (which Conforto currently is) is meaningful - as opposed to the idiotic references to some being only a triple shy of the feat.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 08:28 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Ty Kelly helping us out by putting the Phillies ahead of the Nats with in the ninth with an RBI single.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 08:45 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

In the end, deGrom's bailout start adds up to six innings and four runs. And now the Brews have the tying run on.

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 08:49 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Hey Neil Walker, how ya feeling now about your non-run caused by your non-running?

Edgy MD May 14 2017 08:49 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Sheesh.

That was bigly, at least it was once he settled down after getting knocked around initially.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 09:09 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

T.J.'s triple was the softest hit of the inning to that point.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 09:15 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

It seems Terry is shy about using Robles, Montero, or Sewald in a game situation. That's a lot of arms to bury.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 09:18 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

Sheesh, Thames as the tying run vs. Edgin. Let's go, 66.

Edgy MD May 14 2017 09:22 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

I didn't see that pitch hit him.

And on the day when we hit AND getting decent* starting pitching ... no one in the pen can get an out. * decent, but not quite Good

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 09:39 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

The pen faced 15 batters and recorded 6 outs.

Frayed Knot May 14 2017 09:48 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

And add another 'loss in the other team's last AB' to the list. Two of the last four losses have been of that variety, plus we had a whole bunch of those early in the year.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2017 09:54 PM Re: IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

I wish there were other easy answers but salas is very close to earning the Barry Manuel treatment. I hate to be a know it all because I don't know it all but that guy stunk of the "dead cat bounce" when we got him last season and I was shocked we were expecting more of the same this time through. My bench/bullpen rule of thumb is churn some every season.

Raise your hand if you thought going into Spring Training that the offense would be decent and the pitching would just flat-out suck in 2017.
