Mets Saturday Lineup in Beerville....

Cabrera - SS
Bruce - RF
Walker - 2B
TJ Rivera - 3B
Granderson - CF
Duda - 1B
Plawecki - C
Gsellman - P

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

How much longer will Jeff & Sandy allow TC to continually mismanage this team??

Disgraceful.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Mets' starting pitching woes continue. Robert Gsellman lasted just four innings after not retiring a batter in the fifth. He was charged with six runs (five earned). New York hasn't had a starter go more than six innings since April 28, when Jacob deGrom did it. That's why the Mets entered the game with 129 relief innings on the season, the sixth-most in baseball.

*When I got home a bit ago and turned the game on in the 5th the Mets were up 4-2.
An inning later the Brewers were leading 10-4.
It's now 11-4 in the 8th.


Nuff said.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Milwaukee leads the majors in homers and ranks second in runs. The Mets' rotation ERA (5.13) dropped behind Cincinnati's and is now the worst mark in the majors.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Brewers score 8 runs in 5th, beat Mets 11-4

Mets' Familia out 3-4 months after surgery

Pitchers Steven Matz (left elbow inflammation) and Seth Lugo (right elbow inflammation) each threw 30 pitches over two innings in an extended spring training game in Florida.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets try to salvage 1 in Milwaukee.

Mother's day lineup:

Reyes - SS
TJ Rivera - 3B
Conforto - LF
Walker - 2B
Duda -1B
Granderson - RF
R. Rivera - C
Lagares - CF
deGrom - P

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Conforto solo shot in the 1st...
Brewers had a ground out rbi in the bottom 1st.

Game tied 1-1 after 3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Rene Rivera with a clutch 2 out, 2 run single...(after Duda w/no outs & Grandy w/ 1 out failed)

(not sure why he was trying to steal 2nd though...lol)

3-1 Mets.

Can Jake toss a shutdown inning here in the 4th?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes he can..^...and he did.
3-1 mets....onto the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Conforto again...this time a 2 run double...
5-1 Mets....still have 2nd & 3rd, 1 out.

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

YES!!
Neil Walker 2 run double....

7-1, Amazin's.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Another shutdown frame here from Jake would be most appreciated.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

deGrom dodges a bullet...steps up big time.
Brewers had the bags drunk with just 1 out...but they came away empty.

To the 6th we go.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Jake gives up a 2 out 2 run HR...

It's now 7-3 after 6

I would hope the Mets stay aggressive and get at least one of those runs back...

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Don't look now, but the Spurs are killing the Warriors

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!!
right on cue...
Conforto leads off w/ a triple....and Walker brings him home w/ and rbi knock.

8-3.

Conforto now has 3/4 of the cycle....he just needs a single.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Don't look now, but the Spurs are killing the Warriors

meh...1st half of game 1....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stretch time in beer town

Mets lead it 8-3.
deGrom at 101 pitches.

Now at 107 after allowing a leadoff single.

BP watch....

Blevins is 1st to get the call...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Blevins surrenders a 2 run bomb...
it's 8-5 now...still no outs.
...and now a walk...


Never easy.

Ugghhh

Next BP guy in is....Salas

Granderson has been doubled switched out of the game. Salas in for Blevins. Flores in at 3rd. TJ Rivera to the outfield.
