2014-07-25 Mets (Wheeler) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[Lee16]

Do we see Yo in the 9th? 102 pitches isn't bad after 8, and Rodriguez has been a little shaky the last couple of weeks...

[Lee16]

Nevermind, lol.

[TauPentaRei]

jesus I hope this works out. manager owes it to a SP - especially one who can comfortably toss 130 pitches - to let him finish what he started.

How long has Brian been in Wisconsin and not know of the Hodag?

I found out what a Hodag "is" a few years ago and I lived in WI for 20+ years..

Can't really agree with this. A manager owes it to his team to give them the best possible chance of winning.

 

I was good with Yo to start the inning. Once the baserunner was on, why push it? Two lefties coming up and you just need one out. No need to push Yo and possibly put the game in jeopardy. Do what you need to do to get the out and let's win the game.

20 minutes of terror

[yfinn6]

C'mon K-Rod.. cripes.

[TURBO]

20 minutes of terror

 

 

Unbelievable.

 

[DocLuna7]

Oh man. Really?

[jason21nl]

Fun

[yfinn6]

Good job, K-Rod, good job.

[AZBrewCrew]

Knew that was coming.

[BallFour]

Hate how managers are in set ways. Smith should have started the inning vs. Murphy.

[DocLuna7]

I think it's fair to say that K Rod doesn't have it tonight. Let's go RR, get him out of the game and keep this thing at a one run deficit.

[TURBO]

Take him the heck out! Closer or not, he doesn't have it tonight, just don't bring in Kintzler.

[yfinn6]

Someone should have been up after Wright's single.

[folly412]

This is pathetic. Jeffress please. Even Wang could be less useless.

[AZBrewCrew]

Yes Ron, we are losing , lets bring in Kinztler.

[TURBO]

Gallardo deserves better. DAMN!

[StearnsFTW]

God, I hate K-Rod.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Ok, I Fing HATE stupid pitching. The first batter of the game you throw a fastball down the center of the plate that you KNOW the mets hitter is waiting to pull and he crushes it, THEN when a power bat comes up who's a real threat you throw a fastball down the center to him???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is unlike K-rod usually he's smarter than that and uses his off-speed pitches to fool batters early on. Now we have lost the lead. Great, thank you k-rod.....

[bucks2281]

3 of the first 4 Mets hitters lefties? Bring in the RHP closer anyways. Ugh.

[SRB]

I think K-Rod is trying too hard not to walk anyone and as a result is giving up way too many HR. Seems like a trend the last two seasons in his stats. We don't mind a 4.0 BB/9, K-Rod, just stop giving up home runs...

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Those nuns looked angry.

 

On another note, is Scooter able to PH tonight, or is he still on the shelf? Wouldn't mind seeing Lucroy PH for Maldonado and Scooter PH in the pitcher spot if available.
