Brewers have the best record in MLB, are 4th in RS/G (4.96), 2nd in RA/G (3.73), have the best run differential (+161) and yet are dead last in HRs (120)

[MFS62]

That makes me think they must be really good with RISP.  No?

On a really basic level, they're slightly more clutch than average, particularly in high leverage situations:

Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS	BAbip	tOPS+	sOPS+
High Lvrge	.268	.363	.392	.755	.333	107	110
Medium Lvrge	.247	.329	.407	.736	.293	100	103
Low Lvrge	.253	.333	.389	.721	.312	97	103

Split	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS	BAbip	tOPS+	sOPS+
RISP	.261	.354	.417	.771	.316	110	109

According to SNY, a mystery guest is joining Gary & Keith in the booth for today's Mets-Brewers game.

Any guesses?

About time for the annual Seinfeld appearance, methinks.

I don't think F. R. Amy does road games. And if she did there'd likely be some Mets fan already sitting in the seat she wants.

[ashie62]

The Brewers don't make a lot of mistakes and are sharp in all departments 

Let's win one two or three. Don't get swept

LGM

[ashie62]

Can we get a Tuesday night Mets Club win

[The Hot Corner]

Lindor KABOOM! ties it at one going to the bottom of the 5th.

Louie Bobby II, like the character in the Elvis Costello song, says; Don't bury me cuz I'm not dead yet'

[Frayed Knot]

So far this game is following form: the Brewers get a bunch of base hits (but also hit into a few GiDPs) including one with a RiSP, and the Mets hit solo homers.

And, when the Mets have a runner on 3rd with no one out, no one can get the ball out of the infield.

I didn't know Ms. Amy did road trips.

Would've been nice to get more than one run out of all the activity of that inning.

[ashie62]

Surprise of the game for me is how well Zack Thornton has done

[Frayed Knot]

Meet the Mets, where an inning with: HR + 2B + WP + 1B = 1 run

[Frayed Knot]

Lavender with a nine pitch 1 - 2 - 3 inning.

Dilly Dilly!

[Edgy MD]

I love the number of hits that Benge can muscle off of the narrower part of his bat.

[Edgy MD]

If Andy Green is feeling really crazy, he can combat the all-lefty bench by going to Jefrey Yan in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

As it turns out, three righties from the heart of the order will be due up, so going to Yan would be, like, rilly crazy.

And now six outs on 20 pitches. Give him the 9th ... keep the lefty swinging Bowers, Yelich, etc. on the bench!

[Lefty Specialist]

That's crazier than I'm comfortable with.

 

But Lavender sure smells good.

[Edgy MD]

Warrentime.

[Edgy MD]

Just missing.

A lot.

[ashie62]

This will not end well

Boooo

[Edgy MD]

Clearly this is more experiment than endeavor.

[ashie62]

Good teams win, bad teams do what the Mets are doing

[Frayed Knot]

If we can keep the Brewers under six here we'll have a chance in the bottom half.

Problem is, I don't know if we can.
