IGT Fri 5/30 7:10 PM Rox @ Mets

[Fman99]

David Peterson taking the bump tonight against a historically awful Rockies team. They are 9-47. Just for sake of comparison, at one point this year the Mets were 9-4.



The stats on the 3 starters scheduled for Colorado this weekend are really impressive, in a terrible way.



Friday: Kyle Freeland (0-7, 5.86 ERA, 1.68 WHIP)

Saturday: Antonio Senzatela (1-9, 6.50 ERA, 1.94 WHIP)

Sunday: Carson Palmquist (0-3, 8.78 ERA, 2.03 WHIP)

That record that the White Sox set last year may not stand for very long at all.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms on the way. Get a lead early, hold it, and play fast.

[kcmets]

Yeah, NOAA has a chance of showers this evening but now

has delayed the heavy stuff until after 11 PM.



So it's probably raining right now in Corona...

I mean, I get there's a lefty on the mound. But Brett Baty has earned the right to play every day. An .889 OPS in May. He's had some good ABs against lefthanders too.

Lind BOOM Bah!!!

[ashie62]

Let's get this in against this triple A team

[ashie62]

Soto sucks

[ashie62]

Roundly booed

[ashie62]

Taylor doesn't run to first, styling

[Lefty Specialist]

Peterson trying to be too cute. Just throw strikes.

[Edgy MD]

Zimmo had perhaps his best series of the year against Chicago when he was moved to the two-hole, and I am kind of disappointed to see him back batting fifth.

[Edgy MD]

Cohen just outright dissed Mets sponsor Fanatic Sports Book.

[The Hot Corner]

Lindor Singles and scores from first on Soto's line drive double in the right-centerfield gap.



2-0 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Marte still has some gasz in his engine.

[The Hot Corner]

[MetsBlue]Marte KABOOM!!![/MetsBlue]

[kcmets]

Marte BOOM!!!

[Edgy MD]

Bagheads are the worst.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm becoming physically revolted by Alvarez at-bats. You don't want to look away because a moonshot could come at any moment, but it's absolute torture watching him fall behind 0-2 on a wild swing-and-miss and a down-the-middle called strike, then whiff or ground out to shortstop.



DO BETTER

[The Hot Corner]

Vientos strikes out for the third time tonight.



At the end of 5 it's Mets 3 and the Rockies 0..

I am kind of feeling the same way about Vientos. While his swinging isn't as violently insane as Álvy's is, his decision-making is always off.



He has whiffed thrice tonight, so I am guessing tonight is the nadir of his season.

[The Hot Corner]

Tovar matching Vientos K for K for the Rockies.

Good for him!

[Edgy MD]

Mickey Moniak is still in the league?

Did you hear it? It was subtle and passing but kind of great.

[The Hot Corner]

Peterson gets through 5.6 innings, then the wheels came off. Brazoban comes in and quickly ends the Rockies threat.



Mets leading 3-1 going to the home half of the 6th.

[The Hot Corner]

Brazoban gives up a solo HR in the 7th to make it 3-2 Mets.



The offense needs to torch this team. Time for some insurance runs to rebuild the lead.
