IGT 4/16/13 - Mets @ Rockies - Game #1

Mets – Willets Point Apr 15 2013 12:11 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 15 2013 04:18 PM

Looks like low temps and snow are predicted for tonight, so odds are this game will not be played tonight. But I'll throw up this IGT just in case. Maybe I can set a record for most consecutive IGT's for postponed games. OE: New York Mets ?@Mets 1m #Mets snowed out tonight. Split doubleheader tomorrow. Game times: 3:10 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. (EDT) I guess we'll use this thread for the 3:10 pm game.

I think you should have a doctor take a look at that.

No game. Weather aligning to complement our three-deep rotation.

Gee in the first game, haven't decided on Laffey or Hefner for the second. Mets will need a 6th starter now, barring another snowout.

Ashie62 Apr 15 2013 05:02 PM Re: IGT 4/16/13 - Mets @ Rockies - Game #1

The Rockies are off to an 8-4 start. Not bad for that mess...Lets hope the Mets can keep in going in a town where they have had trouble..

Predicting pitchers duels. You don't score too much with frozen balls. Later

I wonder how they plow a baseball field without tearing up the sod? Currently, three and a half hours before game time, it's 30 degrees and cloudy in Denver.

i'm thinking they probably use big industrial-sized leaf blowers. hopefully sny will have some instructive footage.

As per Guys! in the pregame, they're still clearing snow from the field, having got much more overnight than they had anticipated, timewise, during their removal planning.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2013 01:16 PM Re: IGT 4/16/13 - Mets @ Rockies - Game #1

Associated Press wrote: Colorado’s game with the New York Mets is in a delay despite the efforts by Rockies owner Dick Monfort and general manager Dan O’Dowd to help shovel the field to squeeze in a doubleheader on Tuesday. No new start time has been announced yet. The game was scheduled for 1:10 p.m. (MDT), with the nightcap set for 6:40 p.m. Monfort and O’Dowd joined the grounds crew members and assisted in removing most of the eight inches of snow from the outfield. Workers still have to clear snow that’s piled high in front of the Rockies’ dugout and down the right-field line. The temperature at first pitch for the afternoon game will be around 38 degrees, making this one of the top-10 coldest games at Coors Field. The record is 28 degrees on April 12, 1997, against Montreal.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 16 2013 01:21 PM Re: IGT 4/16/13 - Mets @ Rockies - Game #1

As per SNY, they're aiming for a 4:30p EDT/2:30p MDT start.

by the way, i place a really big premium on dillon getting through 6+ and getting they're pitcher gone by 5 if the other half of the double header is going ahead.

Dunno. 20 yrs ago I would be yelling and holding up protest signs saying BRING UP WHEELER! but I understand why that won't happen. And I do want the Mets to have control of him as long as possible. Maybe we get lucky with Marcum. But that still would not fill the gap.
