Ah, Mister Baseball. I caught a bit of him on the radio last night. He likes to pronounce both Ds in d'Arnaud.

NY Mets at Milwaukee
When: 2:10 PM ET, Sunday, July 27, 2014
Where: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
SportsDirect Inc.

Jacob deGrom looks to put together his fourth consecutive strong outing when the New York Mets conclude their four-game series against the host Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. The 26-year-old has emerged as a solid starter for New York, and manager Terry Collins is bullish on deGrom�s talents. �He�s always flown under the radar � still is,� Collins told reporters. �This guy�s got numbers to match up with any rookie in the league and you never hear his name mentioned.�

Milwaukee put itself in position to win the series by registering a 5-2 victory on Saturday. The Brewers have emerged victorious in seven of their last 10 games as they own a three-game lead over St. Louis and are four ahead of Pittsburgh in the National League Central. A victory on Sunday would give New York a split of its 10-game road trip.

TV:
2:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP:
Mets RH Jacob deGrom (4-5, 3.01 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Jimmy Nelson (1-1, 5.06)

DeGrom has been superb during his winning streak, striking out 26 batters in 21 innings while allowing just two runs and 17 hits. He has been mediocre on the road, however, going 2-2 with a 4.14 ERA in seven starts. One of deGrom�s losses came against Milwaukee on June 11, when he gave up three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 frames.

Nelson is making his fourth start of the season and fifth overall at the major-league level. He received a no-decision in his last turn, when he gave up three runs and four hits in six-plus innings against Cincinnati. Nelson�s first big-league start came against the Mets last season as he gave up one run and one hit in five innings of a no-decision.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Brewers INF Mark Reynolds homered on Saturday and is 6-for-11 with three blasts over his last three games.
2. New York C Travis d�Arnaud is 1-for-11 in the series after being 9-for-23 over his previous six contests.
3. Milwaukee 2B Scooter Gennett (quadriceps) is expected to return after missing four straight games.

Chris Young again? oye

[Guest d'Kong76]

Captain Wright not exactly a basket of hustle
at the end of first inning double play?

[Guest d'Kong76]

deGrom flashin' deLeather!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Keith has a calculator on his phone! I have to
get one of those!

[Frayed Knot]

So how many 'first ML hit' to opposing pitchers is that for this year?
Seems like thirty.

Doubles in 4 consecutive ABs over two games now.

[Edgy MD]

Chris Young suddenly is Mr. Double.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice move by the Braves to delay their game today until 5PM after all the HoF ceremonies are over.

[Edgy MD]

Brewer announcer, who had spent much of yesterday praising d'Arnaud as an excellent blocker of pitches, just called Duda "an excellent defensive first baseman."

[Edgy MD]

Ron Roenicke should know the ground rules at his own park.

[Edgy MD]

If only mighty CY could get a turn at bat.

[Edgy MD]

They keep calling Laggy shallow. I'd be offended.

[Edgy MD]

Recker!!

[Edgy MD]

No Met singles

Four Met doubles.

No Met triples.

No Met homers.

[Edgy MD]

[bigpurple:2uu4bgma]ONE Met homer.[/bigpurple:2uu4bgma]

[Edgy MD]

It's a Doody Bomb!

[Frayed Knot]

Prior to the Duda HR, I was beginning to wonder whether giving up lead-off doubles to NYM batters was part of some opposition strategy knowing that the Mets never score off that kind of beginning.

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Recker recover his popup-catching skills.

[Edgy MD]

Feeling very hooky myself.

[Edgy MD]

Good job, hairball.

[Frayed Knot]

After Scooter failed in his PH-ing attempt, I was wondering if Roenicke was going to call next on Buster, Whitey, Corky, Spike, Butchie, or Skipper?

[Lefty Specialist]

Pop-ups are the New Black.

He crossed you up and called on Aramis.

Gutsy work by Blacksmith.

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to thank Verizon for bringing me this call to the bullpen.
