2011-06-09 Mets (Niese) at Brewers (Gallardo) - [Brewers lose, 4-1]

[Tailgat0r76]

Niese's stuff tonight + the bottom of our order = horrendous results and embarrassing at-bats.

[Fear The Chorizo]

So you use a right handed specialist?

Apparently lefthanded hitters don't hit 1.000 off him - what's the point of burning your only lefty reliever against two average lefthanded bats in the 5th inning of a game that was teetering on becoming a blowout?

[markedman5]

Is it my imagination or have the brewes really struggled against lefty pitching this year?

 

Morgan has some pretty good numbers against Niese even if it is a small sample. RR might have to pull the plug on this platoon and just play the better player.

Again, why are you assuming that bringing in a lefty was the only option?

Yep. I think they should give Morgan a chance to play everyday. If he shows he can't hit lefties, then they can go back to a platoon. At this point, Gomez can't hit anyone so it doesn't help.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Nice at-bat from Wilson. Maybe the rest of the lineup should take notes. Work the count.

What a great job by Dillard (and Corey Hart). This game shouldn't be close at all. Bloop bloop blast and it's tied.

The way things are going lately, it's more likely a single and a dinger to lead off the 7th, seven straight outs, then another single and a walk-off job in the ninth (Braun leads off the 7th)

I like the optimism. Unfortunately we only have room for one bloop before Fielder bats this inning.

Yep, very true. In fact, that's probably the only way we'll win. Not sure anyone but Braun and Fielder will do anything.

[GB12]

Are you kidding me?

[topper09er]

Betancourt cannot even execute a run down, he is so bad. The runner on third should have definitely tried to score with 2 outs

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow, that was stupid. Oh well, didn't matter.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Man, it's seriously becoming the Braun and Fielder show, and that's it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yep, might as well walk Fielder there. McGehee hasn't done anything lately to show he can drive in these runs anyway.

[Oxy]

Braun should have stayed at first on that passed ball.

[topper09er]

Well this would be a nice time for McGehee to get out of it, im feeling GIDP though

[umphrey]

I'm calling a McGehee home run here. Bold, so I'll feel smart if I'm right.

[topper09er]

Nice AB there by Casey, maybe he will start hitting again, he drove an outside pitch to right pretty nicely

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Better AB from Casey...hopefully he's getting close.

[Tailgat0r76]

Good AB by McGehee. The exact opposite by Yuni. Unreal.

[Oxy]

I really would have been happy with one of Yuni's patented fly outs to the warning track there.

[PrinceEatMeat]

This sucks. I wish we had someone good enough to drive in a run behind Fielder. Maybe hitting Lucroy ahead of McGehee and Betancourt would help Roenicke.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Betancourt needs to be off this team before the trade deadline.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Absolutely pathetic.
