IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

[Zvon]

Wouldn't it be funny if Colon is effected by the HBP but the effect is more movement on his pitches..

[Edgy MD]

We've worn a real path through the 4-6 hole.

[Zvon]

2nd inning and every one except d'Arnaud and Conforto have a hit. Cess & Kelly have 2. Colons HBP counts as a hit of sorts.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Wow! I just tuned in and saw Colorado bringing in a reliever. I like this.

[Frayed Knot]

So we're doing a bit better than one hit against this guy this time, eh?
That 2nd inning was nearly fifty pitches of Gray.

[Zvon]

First batter to face Bart goes yard in the 2nd. He doesn't look like the HBP has effected him as far as his demeanor goes. That wasn't a horrible pitch, away, but not away enough.

[Edgy MD]

Keith's right, you have to pitch inside here. You'll get burned if the batter catches up to it, but you get burned anyway, and pitching guys away gets you burned more frequently when you have the bats perform like they're made of aluminum.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I know beggars can't be choosers, but I'm bummed that the MLB Free Game of the Day is the Rockies' broadcast.

[Zvon]

Mr. Colon, I am impressed. Man, that coulda been trouble. If it was gonna stiffen up or swell or whatever it would have by now, right?

[Edgy MD]

Some more 4-6 action from Curtis.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

7 run innings are great but when they're the 2nd inning in Denver it can make for a worrisome night.

[Frayed Knot]

Brewers just scored on a bases-loaded catcher's interference.
8-2 top 7. Still batting, bases still loaded, one out.


Wait, did I say 8? I meant 10 as two come in on a sac fly + error.

[Edgy MD]

Hey Gary, stop over-romanticizing Jos�. He was pulled from a game twice for not running balls out and he probably deserved it more than that.

If not worrisome, a very long night.

[Zvon]

ooo, what a weak throw from Johnson. Gah, it hit the mound.

7-3 Mets.

[Edgy MD]

That's no hit. Error for Johnson.

[Zvon]

Kelly hits my shit list. But in pencil. He can get that erased later if he makes up for his limited range and noodle arm.

7-4 Milehigh Mets

[Edgy MD]

Ouch, you can see the lump on Colon's forearm.

[Zvon]

Whoaaa, thats a big bump on his arm.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cespedes SMOKES another PUFFBOOM!

[Zvon]

CESPEDOES!!!!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Cespedes hits it Rocky Mountain High again.

[Zvon]

Wow.

8-7 Mets

Stick a fork in Colon.


He might enjoy that.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

This is gonna be a long night.

Nice fence-climbing by Cespedes.

[Lefty Specialist]

I know Terry was trying to nurse him through 5, but with that welt on his forearm he should have been on a shorter leash.

[Fman99]

I wouldn't stick a fork in Colon. He's all gristle.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah we're in trubble

I was thinking butterball turkey.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Colon might be large, but he doesn't have poultry wings.

[Fman99]

Blowing big leads blows.
