Been too long. Can't wait!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The write-up for Davies is wrong. He gave up 1 run in 6 innings against the Cubs his last time out.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

My guess would be:

Cain

Santana

Braun

Shaw

Aguilar

Pina

Villar

Arcia

Davies

brewers.com must've copied their last preview for Davies and changed the team name to Cubs... wow

[coolhandluke121]

Very warm here in NYC today. Think the bats come alive in a big way against the LHP.

 

I'm buying the Mets' success if they stay healthy though. They're this year's Diamondbacks. Talented team with a potentially terrific staff coming back from a Murphy's law year.

coming back from a Murphy's law year.

 

Murphy's law has now been transferred to their Catchers.

Good catch. We are using the blurbs from MLB.com's game previews, and unfortunately it isn't the first time I have noticed a mistake. We will keep using them, but hopefully their attention to detail improves.

[3and2Fastball]

Hopefully Cain & Piña are healed up enough to not only play but also be valuable contributors. The Mets have been playing great so far this year but are down 2 catchers. Should be an interesting series

[adambr2]

Mets are good, but not THIS good. Hopefully they are due for a couple losses.

I would really like to get a pitcher like Matz..... SP, fairly young, controlled, lefty. He would be a good get, but we'd have to give up too much probably. Do the Mets need another OF or two?

The Mets have as many OF as us. Also Matz is exactly why pitching prospects can be so frustrating, shown glimpses of being good but also a lot of injuries. They’re fickle creatures.

[TURBO]

Perez? UGHHHHH!

[istanbultaye]

I thought the only base you were allowed to fake to now was 2b.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

If you step off the rubber you can fake a throw anywhere, if you make “a pickoff move” you have to throw to first or else it’s a balk.

[stoutdude04]

Braun...yikes. seems like he's always behind in the count right now.

[liveforoctober]

Random note, seeing Shaw made me curious how Thornburg is doing. Looks like he hit 95 on the gun in rehab recently ... still a bit away from action.

 

With all due respect to an injured player ... what a trade that one has turned in to thus far.

[TURBO]

Nice to see Darvish get beat up today.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

Davies doesn’t seem to be fooling them

[MoreTrife]

Not sure why you throw a FB in that location.

[adambr2]

Screw off Cespedes.

[pacopete4]

Anyone know our ground ball percentage as a team? Seems like we are beating it into the ground a lot this year so far.

[xisxisxis]

With this offense 2 runs may be insurmountable... Adding Yelich and Cain was clearly not enough to improve this crappy offense.

[MoreTrife]

Team isn't much fun lately. Yeah I know we won two of three in STL. I stand by what I said.

[adambr2]

And that would be one of Braun's non-strong points defensively.
