National League Division Series Game 3:

9th October 2022

Milwaukee Brewers - New York Mets @Citi Field

MIL: SP Carlos Rodon(L, 16-9 3.22)
NYM: SP M.D. Johnson(R, 1-0 2.57)

A crucial game three matchup that unfortunately favors the home team... that is not us by the way. Both starters kicked things off with a hitless first, but it was Rodon who blinked first on a leadoff single by Drew Mendoza in the second... that was left at second base as the rest of the Mets struggled to get the ball out of the infield... this Mendoza guy is annoying...

Our first try of generating offense was sabotaged by a Jesus Gonzalez double play in the third, and as things go when you hit into a DP, Carlos Rodon THEN hit a 2-out single for out first hit of the ballgame. And suddently, balls were flying in the general direction of Mets left fielder Scott Hurst, or, to be exact, bouncing infront of him as Garcia and Moniak both went the other way to score Rodon and put runners at the corners with two outs.

Brownie took a mighty cut at a 2-2 fastball that was right over the heart of the plate... and still got fooled as Johnson took four miles off of that heater and Brownie was early, inning over with a K. And, as things go in the playoffs for us, Muzziotti hit a ***tty grounder down the right field line with one out for a double and scored to tie it at one, 1-1 after three.

Want things to go worse? Carlos Rodon threw a scoreless fourth... and then left with some hammy injury or discomfort... hello Mr. Vergara. He came in, got a easy flyout, then saw José Vásquez at first drop one like a hot potato for a easy error. He fanned the lefty Muzziotti, which was big... and then walked Hurst. Two down, Puig at the plate, licking his lips in anticipation.

What he did not anticipate was 3-2, 100mph heater high up in the zone he swung through... inning over... Through six, Johnson had amassed 7 strikeouts, and with 80 pitches he still had something left in the tank... and ultimately was pinch hit for in the bottom 7th... did not help them much as Vergara struck out the side to complete three scoreless innings of 3-hit, 1BB and 4K ball.

Surprisingly enough, they went with their closer Shae Simmons for the eighth... who went out there and plunked Devin Mann with the first pitch. He decided to not play the wild man... and that actually would've been the better idea as 2K's and a flyball later, the inning was over.

A scoreless frame by Scott Griggs later, Simmons found more trouble... as he walked Brownie and Turnbull with one out, top 9th, and was left in to pitch to José Vásquez despite him having thrown 43 pitches. Here is the play-by-play:

"Simmons is ready, and here is pitch #44 for his night... SWUNG ON AND BELTED... TO DEEP LEFT FIELD... WAAAAY GOONE! He threw that one right into Vásquez wheelhouse at 92 mph and got punished! Milwaukee 4, New York 1."

And a lazy flyout to right field and two tapper back to the pitcher later, Knebel collected his second save of the series and we took a 2-1 lead in the NLDS in another great game.

SP Frank Lopez 4IP 4H 1R 1ER 1BB 3K, 1-1 R
SS Wilkerman Garcia 1-4
LF Mickey Moniak 1-4 RBI
CF Aaron Brown 0-3 R BB
C Jake Turnbull 0-3 R BB
1B José Vásquez 1-4 R 3RBI HR
3B Tucker Neuhaus 1-4 DB
2B Devin Mann 1-2 BB
HR MIL: José Vásquez(3)
HR NYM: none
W: Scott Griggs(1-0 0.00) L: Shae Simmons(1-1 8.10) SV: Corey Knebel(2 6.00)
MIL 4 NYM 1 MIL leads NLDS 2-1
I know who is going to be the MvP of this series if we win it... the rookie at first base, batting .500 with 3HR and 5RBI's. Rodon will be fine... exhale... he will be day-to-day with a mild hammy strain, 4 days. Hall tomorrow...
