IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 01:20 PM

The tough road continues because these Brewers is good [22-9 since June 1] And unlike in past years, these are Brewers can both hit AND pitch (6th best in NL at RS/G, 6th best in RA/G) so less one-dimensional than maybe we're used to. We're going to go all Tylor Megill on them while they counter with Brandon Woodruff, a 28 y/o 5th year RH drafted in the 11th round draft pick in 2014 [Miss St U] who has turned a corner for them and turned in 16 starts; 7-3; 1.87 ERA; 0.78 WHIP in 2021

They've got three of the most exciting starting pitchers in all of baseball and the unhittable reliever Josh Hader who's like the Jacob deGrom of relievers with a 750 ERA+. Check out Hader's unbelievable numbers: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/haderjo01.shtml

Good God, Taylor is x-rated.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 05:32 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

It seems like that one game in Washington is the only time in the last several weeks the memorial-patch-wearing Mets didn't face a team wearing a memorial patch of their own.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 06:02 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Now I know where I've seen those Brewers uniforms before. http://www.cubpack995.org/_/rsrc/1523256250652/uniforms/bear-uniform/wolf_cub_uniform_new.jpg>

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 06:06 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Megill's mom is swelling with pride out there.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 05 2021 06:17 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

I'm becoming very impressed w/Megill. His minor league numbers hint that he's got the goods, but if the Mets think he's punching above his weight at all, this dude is currently a helluva trade chip.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 06:22 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Lindor bunting drives me crazy.

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 06:23 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Stop bunting for fuck's sake

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 06:27 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Old skool run manufacturin'. It's the year of the pitcher, guyz!

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 06:37 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Good job by Megill. 6 innings would have been nice, but he's done.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 06:40 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

So either Lindor's bunt "worked" in that the run scored even without benefit of a hit, ... or it didn't in that it almost assured the team that a leadoff double would lead to no more than one run.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 06:46 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

I'm beginning to feel like we may never see Conforto get another hit.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 06:47 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

It may have worked, but I want Lindor swinging in that situation. He's not getting $341 million to bunt. And Conforto needs to sit. It's just not happening for him right now.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 06:49 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Hey, cats, that was Conforto's best stroke in about two weeks.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 06:50 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

So, if you sit Conforto, is that in favor of a Villar/Pillar type o' platoon in right?

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 06:52 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

I like Loup against righties. He keeps it down and uses both sides nicely. Against lefties, as tough as he is, I'm always afraid he's gonna hit the batter.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:00 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

It's the six innings in the bank with one hit, so the line of guys to sit is not short.

bmfc1 Jul 05 2021 07:06 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Monday: Woodruff Tuesday: Jake Wednesday: Burnes. The best and 2 of the best of the rest. This is a good series.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 07:08 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

It seems like every Met game this year has been 1-1 at the end of 6 innings.

bmfc1 Jul 05 2021 07:09 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Are they doing the wave? How can I mock Nationals fans when MY PEOPLE are just as stupid?

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 07:16 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Now isn't that much better than a bunt, Frankie?

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:16 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Sweet hit by HotDom Smitty. I'm trying to figure out if they were traditionally aligned on defense, would that have been a 4-6-3.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:17 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Wow. Smith looked like he threw a rod coming around third and made it home on momentum.

bmfc1 Jul 05 2021 07:19 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Did Pete dent that baseball? Nice job by Lindor waving him in right away.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 07:20 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

All ABs this inning > bunts, even the non-bunt bunt by McNeil

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:20 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Conforto say NO, YOU SIT DOWN.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 07:20 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Even hitters I want to bench get hits!

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 07:21 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Good for Conforto! Hopefully that gets him going!

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:22 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Well, that's what you get for taking Taijuan Walker's All-Star spot.

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 07:25 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Yep or Stro's spot for that matter.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:28 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

I think Corbin Burnes got Stroman's spot. He pays on Wednesday.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 07:32 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Jackie Bradley Jr. hitting .170? Another bullet we dodged.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:34 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Well, that's about double what the Junior we signed is hitting.

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 07:35 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Eight pitch inning for May. Lots of encouraging things happening in this game. I'm bullish.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:38 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Hoby Milner makes Castro look thick.

bmfc1 Jul 05 2021 07:43 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

It's interesting that Nimmo returns from SYR and rakes while McNeil and Conforto are taking longer and Villar looks clueless.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 07:49 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

T-t-t-time to put the h-h-hammer down.

Let's hope 4-1 can stick after bases-loaded gidp by Water Gun Pete.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 07:55 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Not scoring with the bases loaded and no outs better not cost them.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 08:00 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Bad walk.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 05 2021 08:02 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 08:03 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

For Chrissakes. I'm going to make a drink.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 08:03 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Well, this has an odor. You got to use the fastball too, man.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 08:06 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

There's one.

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 08:07 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

That's one. Mercifully.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 08:07 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Loup, Lugo, and May threw an average of 10 pitches per inning.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 08:09 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

And two!

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 08:09 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

That's two. Well pitched, too, because Huira has looked terrible all night trying to catch up to fastballs.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 05 2021 08:10 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

PHEW!

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 08:10 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Breathing better.

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 08:11 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

BOOOOOKS. Good on Edwin to settle in after a shaky start. It's been six days since he's thrown in a game, and good to see that he could settle himself down and get it done.

dinosaur jesus Jul 05 2021 08:12 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

That's a quality win. Is it possible the Mets are actually a pretty good team?

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2021 08:12 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Nothing comes easy with these guys. But it's a W.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2021 08:13 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

Nice to settle (in the positive) that the Alonso Double was the PotG as opposed to the Alonso Double Play

Fman99 Jul 05 2021 08:34 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

And let's not neglect the fact that the Brew Crew has a record several games better than the Metsies and had their ace going today, and still we swiped a win here.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2021 08:38 PM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

BRING ON THE SHaMS!

Gwreck Jul 06 2021 04:42 AM Re: IGT 7/5/21 - Brewers @ Mets - Game #81

The Brewers would be the Mets' opponent in the first round of the playoffs based on the standings entering this game.
