IGT 05/22 - Brewers at Metropolitans

[Guest d'Kong76]

Milwaukee at NY Mets
When: 1:10 PM ET, Sunday, May 22, 2016
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

Matt Harvey may be causing some consternation among fans of the New York Mets, but the presence of Noah Syndergaard in the rotation is helping to quell those jitters. Syndergaard looks to win his third consecutive start when the Mets attempt to complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday afternoon.

Syndergaard is coming off a dominant performance against National League East rival Washington, striking out 10 in seven scoreless innings to win a high-profile duel against Nationals ace Max Scherzer. �He�s special,� New York catcher Kevin Plawecki told reporters of Syndergaard. �No stage is too big for him.� Yoenis Cespedes clubbed his 14th homer and David Wright delivered a walk-off single in the ninth to hand the Brewers their second straight one-run defeat after winning three of their previous four games. Ex-Met Kirk Nieuwenhuis has struggled in his return to Citi Field, going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts in the series.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), WPIX (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (2-5, 5.32 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (4-2, 2.19)

Anderson won for the first time since his season debut with a gem versus the Chicago Cubs last time out, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning in a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It brought an end to an ugly five-start losing streak for Anderson, who was tagged for 27 runs and nine home runs during that span. Anderson also was stung by the long ball in his last start at Citi Field on July 10, giving up two homers and four runs in 4 1/3 innings.

Syndergaard bounced back from a two-start losing streak by winning his last two turns, permitting two runs or fewer for the sixth time in his overpowering victory against the Nationals. Syndergaard, who reached 100 miles per hour on the radar gun 13 times in his last outing, beat the Los Angeles Dodgers with eight innings of two-run ball in his previous turn. Syndergaard is 8-3 with a 2.53 ERA at Citi Field, holding opposing hitters to a .209 batting average against.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Mets 1B Lucas Duda had an MRI exam on his ailing back and is expected to miss a few days.
2. Brewers LF Ryan Braun (back), who has missed the past four games, is hopeful of returning to the lineup on Sunday but will suck.
3. Saturday's walk-off win was the first for New York since July 31, 2015.

I think someone is taking a bit of editorial license here

I knew this, but it's really hard to believe with all the winning and drama
after that game last year.

If Sandy's reading this, I hereby apologize for all the nasty words I muttered under my breath when you signed Cabrera.

Hasn't he been something else?

OOOO, i think they had him there on the pick off.

It's come to this, folks.

Could you imagine how long laces would be if they did? There'd be two foot of lace hanging off gloves. lolol.

[Frayed Knot]

A few more pitches than you'd prefer for Noah (82 over 5 innings) especially with a well-worked bullpen out there.
But, other than that, a good game with just the one unearned run. Be nice he he can get through 6 & 7 cleanly.

I want some quick innings and 8. Rest that pen.

[Edgy MD]

I want Rivera to catch what's thrown to him. DOH!

[Edgy MD]

But I'm REAL happy when he can dampen a rally by cutting down baserunners.

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh, my pitcher IS a superhero.

[Edgy MD]

Oops, "Piano Man."

[Frayed Knot]

Big Jim Slade bails 'em out of another tough jam.

[Edgy MD]

I think that guy's out. The ball was caught, the force was made, and the baserunner slapped the ball away afterwards.

[Edgy MD]

The DP works for me too.

[Zvon]

Where's my sweep kid?
There you are..

Incidental contact.
Or, as Gary said, it's not like the runner pulled an 'A-Rod' on Campbell.

[Fman99]

Napped through innings 1-7 (yeah, one of those kinds of Sundays) and then caught the last 2 on XM. Issues with the NY feed so I listened to Eucker call the last of it. He's good.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Large but very mild crowd. That was a pretty underwhelming sweep, but they all count.

Glad to see Noah get better as the game progressed.

Free flimsy whiffleball bats. What else to say?

Kentucky Fried Movie?

[Guest cooby]
