IGT Mon May 4 Mets at Rockies

[Fman99]

Look at your Mets, coming off a road series win.   I like their chances of exacting some revenge for the humbling they received at the hands of the Rockies at home.

[The Hot Corner]

Look out.  The Mets are hot.  Rolling into Colorado Riding the crest of a one game winning streak.

[Frayed Knot]

The all-important probables for the series. No, not he pitchers but the weather in this first week of May.

Monday: around 60 for first pitch (6:40 local time) but showers possible starting around 9 PM

Tuesday: rain all day with temps plummeting to the upper 30s by first pitch (6:40)

Wednesday: the good news? 1:10 local time first pitch. Bad news? snow, high of 39 degrees

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like a good time to call Monday a triple-header.

[Frayed Knot]

Now that we're down to one trip per year vs the Rox, it certainly seems like a while since we hit town in mid-summer.

Do they ever have clement weather in Colorado?

So Melendez is good enough to bat third, but also bad enough that we absolutely have to pinch-hit for him late in the game against a lefty, no matter what happens. Got it.

I was there in late October for five days and the weather was beautiful the whole time.

[Frayed Knot]

Denver actually has more hours/year of sunshine than any other big city in this country. It's just very ... changeable. It can be 70+ as it was yesterday, then be 70+ again as is forecast for Fri/Sat, but drop into the '30s w/snow in between as is almost certain for tomorrow.

So it's often clement.

[Edgy MD]

Fun Fact: Neither Matt Clement, nor Pat Clements, nor Roger Clemens, nor Roberto Clemente, nor Clement Walter "Clem" Labine ever played for The Rockies nor any minor-league team situated in the Denver area.

So, in a sense, yes, very inclement.

[seawolf17]

However...

[Edgy MD]

Well,\ done.

On the other hand, look at that very inclement sonic wave of a fart blasting out of Edgard's ass.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, the turn of the millennium was a wild time for baseball cards.

[Frayed Knot]

He's a Moniak, Moniak in the box / Was a bust in Philly but is raking for the Rox

[Edgy MD]

This leading off with Soto is really curious.

Keith seems to be doing well.

[seawolf17]

I mean, he *is* our best OBP guy. And he stole a ton of bases last year. I like it.

[Edgy MD]

The wind gods of left-center must be stopped.

[metirish]

Unbelievable, Vientos twice has crushed the ball only to fall short at the wall , the wind blowing in is killing us 

[Lefty Specialist]

Stop me if you heard this before.....but the Mets offense appears to have missed the flight to Denver.

[metirish]

No hit thru five, yikes 

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see the wind knock down a Colorady drive also.

[Edgy MD]

There we go.  We had to hit it to right.

[Frayed Knot]

It's Carson Benge's world and the rest of us are just living in it.

 

OK, that's way over the top, but this is starting to get the feel of something big coming on

[Edgy MD]

All catchers hit doubles!

By flipping Soto and Bichette at the top of the order, the Mets Go L-R-L-R  through the first eight in the order.  Mendoza seems to put a lot of stock in lefty on lefty (righty on righty) both when the Mets are hitting and when pitching.

[Edgy MD]

I have a meeting to get to up the street.

Youse folks better not blow this lead.

[The Hot Corner]

After being no hit through 5 innings, the Mets bats suddenly come to life to score 4 in the top of the 6th.  

Now Peterson needs to pitch a clean inning.
