IGT Wed May 6 Mets @ Rockies

[ashie62]

Anybody know how long until Francisco Alvarez hits free agency? Thank you

[ashie62]

Today starts the path to wild card three

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets really need to cash in some runs here with second and third with no outs.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, under standard positioning, Benge's two-run single is an easy soft liner to second.

[ashie62]

I have been all in on Carson Benge from the get go

[The Hot Corner]

Woo Hoo.  Benge with the 2 RBI hit with RISP.

[Edgy MD]

Alvarez is never going to break that GiDP record that way.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Much sledgehammering

[Edgy MD]

Stupid Soto just had to come up and end the rally.

[ashie62]

Gelbs is becoming the hot dog guru. I like him doing this

[The Hot Corner]

Keith almost looked sick watching Gelbs with the 2 foot hot dog.  Then somehow Gelbs got Keith to take a bite on the opposite end like Lady and the Tramp..  Keith kept looking down like he wanted to find a trash can so he could spit it out.

[Edgy MD]

Win a Lady and the Tramp Meal with Keith would be a heckuva fundraiser raffle contest.

[The Hot Corner]

Wow.  Torrens whiffs on a pop up in foul ground.

[Edgy MD]

The candlelight was a nice touch.

[Centerfield]

Why are we pinch running here?

[Edgy MD]

Oven mitts are the worst.

Outfielding is at a premium in Coors, and a game can turn around quickly motivating Mendoza to get his defense out there early.

Getting Taylor out there possibly improves two positions, but is a big upgrade in right.

[Fman99]

Replay fail. He was safe 

[Edgy MD]

One downside is the paucity of great options — Brujan? Slater? Ibáñez? — to sub for Soto later in the game.

Yeah, but the oven mitt fail was more egregious.

[Centerfield]

I mean. We could give the one guy who’s hitting two more ABs. But wtf do I know.

Nice work by Peralta to get out of a jam 

x 3

[Frayed Knot]

> 2-1/2 hours just to get thru 5 innings ... and although that's a lot quicker than it would be for the pre-speed-up rules, this one is not exactly sailing along, especially for a low scoring game.

[Frayed Knot]

Alvarez manages to avoid hitting into a GiDP in a potential GiDP situation!!!

[Edgy MD]

Gary's testimony notwithstanding, I can get behind Leiper's stop sign there.

Twice in one game.

[Centerfield]

At first I thought Tim Lieper was gunshy after that pirates game. I now think he’s just not a very good 3B coach. 

[ashie62]

Third base coach held Benge, really???

I agree. The LF was getting rid of the ball about the time Benge was reaching 3rd. Now it was lousy throw but, of course, you don't know that at the time ... and now he winds up scoring anyway!!

[Centerfield]

Except that the LF is much deeper in Coors than regular ballparks. I guess it doesn’t matter. 
 

This is the first laugher I can remember watching in a while.
