IGT 5/24: NYM In The House of Monk @ MIL 8:10pm ET

[seawolf17]

Haven't started an IGT yet this season. Let's do this. Brewers coming off their own Arizona sweep, interestingly enough.

Steven Matz (1-3, 4.42) vs Zach Davies (2-3, 4.24), in a starting pitcher rematch of the April 13 game: http://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=9041

We were 11-1 after that game, and then everything started to fall apart. Maybe this series can turn the karma back around?

[Fman99]

I believe in your IGT karma. Let's do this! (I am working a late shift and may be able to tune into a couple of innings via audio in between sessions).

[A Boy Named Seo]

I don't if we known thine enemy, but reliever Josh "Player" Hader has a 17.8 K/9 over 29.1 innings. He strikes out 2 of every 3 guys! Wannabe hitters are batting .086 against him. With Jeremy Jeffress and his equally freakish 0.35 ERA and Corey Knebel closing things out, if they're ahead after, like 5 innings, we're prob fucked. Lets go Mets!

This should be, like, our motto.

A Matz game where the Mets don't fall behind early. I'M PUMPED!

[Edgy MD]

1. I realize there are no outs, but I'd've sent Rosario.

2. Can we get a ruling on a nickname for Nimmo. I'm thinking The Destroyer or something.

[Edgy MD]

Drooby gets the knockout punch.

No chance. Roasrio held up to make sure the ball would clear the RF and then the ball came off the wall and right back to Yelich.





Cabrera finally gets the Mets a NiSP, that a hit with Nimmo in scoring position. Hell, nobody else gets as far as 2nd on this team so we might as well call it that.

[Guest 41Forever]

It seems like whenever something good is happening, Nimmo is involved!

[Edgy MD]

And even when something good almost but doesn't quite happen.

Funny. Yellich looks weird in a Brewer uniform and in right field.

I just mean to confess that I was feeling desperate. Good on the Mets for playing it safe and cashing in.

[Edgy MD]

Five-pitch inning for Matz.

This is looking like it could be a game, guys.

[Frayed Knot]

That five pitch inning gets Matz back to 'average' for pitches/inning (75 thru 5) so he could be good for six or even seven!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You cannot get Brandon Nimmo out these days.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Two-strike curves out of the zone so as to be waved over and/or brushing its bottom edge to induce grounders... THIS is a Matz I can get behind.

And hey! 6 innings!

[nymr83]

I thought Matz might get in trouble there but he is through 6 without damage!

now for the terror of the bullpen

[Edgy MD]

I think the Mets pen is as good as any, last night included.

[Edgy MD]

Bunt a double, Brucie.

[Fman99]

Can't do audio at work, too much else going on. Following via ESPN gameday, which is a pretty weak way to watch a ballgame.

[Frayed Knot]

Only four hits by the Crew thru six and of those I remember two bloops plus an infield single.
There were a couple loud outs thrown in here and there but even those were more long-ish fly outs than hard-hit liners.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, the long fly that Cain hit was the only mistake I saw.

And the Mets getting to the vaunted Brew bullpen in Game One. Big.

[Fman99]

Five runs in one game, is that allowed?

[Edgy MD]

Rosario could reach and set up Nimmo with the bases loaded.

I believe this is the first time we've done that since 2012.

[Edgy MD]

Or Bautista could get picked off.

[Edgy MD]

Sucks to see him vanish after six.

[Edgy MD]

Eight consecutive times on base by Nim.

Eight!

[Guest 41Forever]

Nice rip from Bruce!!!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, wow, even Bruce hits today.

[Edgy MD]

The name is Rhame.
