Mets RH Chris Flexen (0-1, 9.00 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Tyler Chatwood (6-11, 4.78)

[Guest d'Kong76]

I think I would welcome 6:40 starts at Citi for weekday games.

[ashie62]

This should be exciting.

[Edgy MD]

How about getting Nimmo some PT while you're in the Mountain Time Zone?

[ashie62]

Nine straight out for Chatwood.

[Edgy MD]

Four straight hits and three runs in against Flexie.

[Edgy MD]

What a bizarre call at the plate?

[Edgy MD]

And what a bizarre tag and bizarre slide.

[Fman99]

This pitcher, maybe, uh, not so good at pitching.

[Frayed Knot]

What's that now, about nine hard-hit balls in a row?
Even the two outs were on smashes.

[Edgy MD]

And what a clout by Gonzo. Six straight hits. Five runzz home.

Breaking pitches don't break in Colorado, kid.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, we're looking for [u:v8xk6lhe]A[/u:v8xk6lhe] hit.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I leave for a little and it's five-sniffle.

[ashie62]

The Mets feel like they are playing out the string.

[Edgy MD]

Chatwood spikes it like Blackmon.

[Guest themetfairy]

What's the deal with Reyes' eyebrows?

[Edgy MD]

I'm glad to see the Mets get a hit, but ... since when is that a hit?

[Ceetar]

Does Cespedes homer anymore?

[Edgy MD]

I'd've taken a single out.

Bruce certainly homers.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, look, José at second!

[Frayed Knot]

Anything but a GiDP by Cespedes there and this is a whole new ballgame.
Still not out of it obviously this early and at this park, but man that was bad timing.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice call on that fan interference call ... you rarely see anything other than an automatic double even though that's not the rule.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, if all of the Colorado fielders have that same hole in their gloves, the Mets have a pretty good chance in this game.

[Guest d'Kong76]

What are people thinking reaching into field of play for an $8 baseball?
I hope he got ejected.

Ejected, and if there's a way to keep him/her from EVER sitting in the front row again I'd do that.
And I'd have him tased.

[Edgy MD]

He better've.

That's far from a certainty. In fact, had the inning played out the same way, he might have scored, possibly crossing over on the soft grounder to short, and coming on the ricochet off the pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

Chasen Bradford becoming a man this evening.

And coming back from five runs down to get a rookie off the hook while they're at it.

[Edgy MD]

Honestly, have you ever seen so many fastballs in the dirt?
