IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

We get a look to see if Gio was worth pursuing. Mickey, I implore you, bat Alonso third and Cano second, pleez! A Matz game is coming LGM

Cano hit on hand again, left game presumably to get x-ray.

And it's called a strike, again, so the Mets don't get the base (however they did via the walk). Mickey did nothing this time.

WTF is going on with Ramos? d'Arnaud can hit and throw that badly.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 11:39 AM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Mickey should have made a fuss. That call is a terrible distortion of the spirit of the rule. Meanwhile, if Gio Gonzalez can't get a high (higher than the strikezone) fastball past Todd Frazier, I'm either excited about Frazier or thrilled the Mets didn't sign Gio.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 11:40 AM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Hey, Jesús Aguilar is back!

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 12:03 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

That should have been an E6 on Rosario.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 12:06 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

I'm casting my vote now for Jeff McNeil as MVP.

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2019 12:07 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

How many more of those spinning squibs is Cain going to hit this weekend? Fortunately we finally got a break on this one. He's had like 6 hits this series and I don't think he's hit a ball hard yet.

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2019 12:13 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

I think they made the right call on that 'turn or no-turn' call at 1st base, but it reminds me that that's one of the most mis-called and widely-interpreted calls in softball games. Some umps would go as far as inferring 'intent' if a runner merely turned his body counter-clockwise before going back to the bag, even if he was directly on the foul line while doing so.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 12:27 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

It certainly was the right call. Why Mickey would dispute that and not the HBP-non-swing-called-a-swing is a head-scratcher. Justine Ward working the sideline this afternoon.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 12:36 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Raise your hand if you envisioned Matz bailing out the Mets with a dominant start in game three of a series after deGrom and Syndergaard both spit the bit in the first two games.

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2019 12:46 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

McNeil going after pop-ups like he's got a put-out clause in his contract.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 12:57 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Ramos thrown out at first from centerfield. Wasn't particularly close either.

The umpire at 1B said that the runner didn't intend to make the turn and was only doing so to avoid the tag. However, Cano didn't intend to swing, both today and last Sunday, when he was getting hit in the hand with the pitch.

ashie62 Apr 28 2019 01:17 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Matz is ok. The other sp's are more suspect for now Alonso will now be batting third Cano had been underwhelming of late. Hope the hand ain't broken. If so Todd Frazier everyday

ashie62 Apr 28 2019 01:20 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

J.D. Davis, step on up!

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2019 01:22 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Is the swing/no-swing thing even reviewable? I hated to see Dom ph'd-for, especially seeing as how they were already a man down, but it was the right move and JD cashed it in. He's looking to be this season's Scott Hairston, the guy put on this planet to punish LHPs

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 01:22 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

I like Mickey playing all his cards in a row there. And I love it paying off.

Bags juiced for Petey

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 01:25 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Go-go, Alonso!

ashie62 Apr 28 2019 01:29 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Oh-no Alonso

I bet robo-ump would have called that 3-0 pitch to Alonso a ball. One thing that analysis has shown is that 3-0 pitches get called strikes more often than they should while borderline 0-2 pitches are more frequently tallied as balls.

ashie62 Apr 28 2019 01:30 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Unreal. Inning over

Lugo painting K's by the numbers!

Lugo again for the 9th?

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2019 01:49 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Will a triple from Conforto be enough to score Ramos from 2nd?

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 01:56 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

I would have pinch-hit Syndergaard or Vargas or deGrom. I would have been wrong.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 02:00 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

Milwaukee stuck with Wilkerson too long. He gave you a minor miracle last inning. They should have taken that and gotten him out of there.

bmfc1 Apr 28 2019 02:06 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

A Sunday win! And in less than 3 hours.

Lotsa heroes

Edgy MD Apr 28 2019 02:27 PM Re: IGT Sun 4/28 Brewers v Mets Gonzalez v Matz

A rare oh-fer for McNelt. Frazier got two big hits on balls out of the strike zone his first two times, and then went down looking the next two trips at two balls clearly over the plate. #enigma

I learned from the Milwaukee broadcast that Pete Alonso played for my local Madison Mallards college-summer team in 2014. He hit .354 with 18 HR that summer. I has no idea.
