IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Ceetar Aug 21 2015 07:43 AM

8:40 start at Coors Field. Mets will Bartolo Colon who's slow fastballs hopefully won't be battered by the reduced break at that altitude. Definitely glad they're not bringing David Wright to the thin Denver air, seems something worth avoiding. Great breweries out there though, they miss the Great American Beer Festival by a month, in September. One day those two things will coincide and I will be drawn there for an amazing week. Average Temp:79° The 49-70 Rockies throw Jon Gray,

NY Mets at Colorado When: 8:40 PM ET, Friday, August 21, 2015 Where: Coors Field, Denver, Colorado SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets attempt to get back on track Friday as they continue their road trip with the opener of a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. New York has lost four of five contests since beginning the month with a 10-2 stretch that included a four-game sweep of Colorado at home. The Mets kicked off their nine-game trek by splitting two contests at Baltimore, which posted a walk-off 5-4 victory on Wednesday. Colorado aided New York on Thursday by registering a 3-2 triumph over Washington, which fell four games behind the first-place Mets in the National League East. The Rockies squandered a 2-0 lead before Ben Paulsen delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning. The win was just the second in 10 overall games for Colorado as it improved to 2-4 on its nine-game homestand. TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, MLB Network, SNY (New York), ROOT (Colorado) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (10-11, 4.58 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Jon Gray (0-0, 2.40) Colon was forced to settle for a no-decision against Pittsburgh last Friday despite allowing just one run and five hits in seven innings. The 42-year-old Dominican has won only one of his last 10 outings, even though he yielded fewer than three earned runs five times in that span. Colon, who has issued only 16 walks in 141 1/3 frames this season, is 2-1 with a gaudy 7.71 ERA in three career starts versus Colorado. Gray remains in search of his first career decision as he makes his fourth major-league start. The 23-year-old native of Oklahoma worked five innings against San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run and four hits with five strikeouts. Gray, who has given up fewer than three earned runs in each of his outings, limited the Mets to one run on one hit - a solo homer by Travis d'Arnaud - over a career-high six frames on Aug. 10 at New York. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets 3B David Wright, who hasn't played since April 14 due to a hamstring injury and spinal stenosis, hopes to return to the lineup next week in Philadelphia. 2. Former Mets SS Jose Reyes collected three hits for Colorado on Thursday to improve to 7-for-13 over his last three games and has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 contests. 3. New York may skip RHP Matt Harvey's scheduled start on Sunday in order to keep him fresh for the stretch run.

Definitely glad they're not bringing David Wright to the thin Denver air, seems something worth avoiding. Given his druthers, somehow I think David would be willing to risk the discomfort of a long flight to hit in that thin Denver air.

Sure, but a rehabbing player trying to get back up to speed doesn't need the associated problems with exerting yourself at that altitude and the fatigue associated with it. Additionally, there's some evidence that part of the reason players have such extreme Coors splits is that because the breaking balls don't break as much there, EVERY pitcher looks like Clayton Kershaw by comparison when they descend the mountain. Wright gets to avoid that adjustment.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2015 09:39 AM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Wonder if this Gray guy for the Rox is still on a pitch count, or if his limit is as limiting as it was the last time when he was pulled after 6 while tossing a one-hitter vs us. As you will probably recall we proceeded to torch the Colorado pen once he left. That game was his 2nd in MLB and he's pitched one since and by the looks of things they haven't loosened the reins on him. He's yet to allow more than 2 ER in any game but has also yet to reach 80 pitches. Game 1 (SEA): 4 innings, 3 runs (2 earned), 5 hits, 77 pitches Game 2 (NYM): 6 innings, 1 run, 1 hit, 75 pitches Game 3 (SDP): 5 innings, 1 run, 4 hits, 69 pitches He doesn't even have a decision to his name yet although the Rox have gone on to lose all three of his games.

Maybe he's the guy that leaves and not all the others mentioned ad nauseam the last three weeks waiting for the return of DW.

d'Kong76 Aug 21 2015 06:47 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Has it been mentioned here that Cespedes (who just singled in the first with one out) is a heavy smoker? Didn't know that until today when forced to listed to WFAN for an hour or so.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2015 06:49 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Arrenado will singlehandedly keep David Wright from ever even thinking about a Gold Glove again.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2015 07:05 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

You want to give Conforto a final start as a send-off gift, Terry, then I'm down with that. But how cruel to bat him eighth where he has Colon behind him? But hey, maybe Colon homers today. Hey, a Colon hit batsman.

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:06 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Wow, not good. Colon hit by a pitch on his pitching forearm. Looks like he'll stay in but I'll be kinda surprised if he continues to pitch.

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:08 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

It hit him just below the wrist on his arm. If he can still command his pitches after that I'll be duly impressed.

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

BTW, 3-1 Mets

Edgy MD Aug 21 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

A 2-1 game with the bases loaded, one out, and Murphy up in the second. That's all good, but we have a wounded warrior on the mound, perhaps unlikely to report for the next inning. Now, 3-1.

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:10 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

Jeeze, that's all we need. Do we use Verrett now instead of Sunday and Matt's back in?

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:16 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

Edgy MD Aug 21 2015 07:19 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

Zvon Aug 21 2015 07:19 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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.

Mets – Willets Point Aug 21 2015 07:23 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2015 07:23 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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 Aug 21 2015 07:27 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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 Aug 21 2015 07:29 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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.

Mets – Willets Point Aug 21 2015 07:32 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

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?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2015 07:40 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2015 07:43 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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 Aug 21 2015 07:44 PM Re: IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

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

Tacking on the 1st inning double, if Cespedes goes deep again tonight (and he might still have two more cracks at it) I believe he'll tie the all-time Total Bases record for one game. Joe Aadcock (Braves - late '50s) had a double along with his 4 HR game for 18 TBs

And somehow this game was five minutes shorter than the Yanx 7-3 loss to Cleveland. God how I hate the American League.

I just finished watching this game about five minutes ago. I went to bed last night knowing that the Nationals had lost, but completely unaware of anything about the Mets-Rockies game. When I was walking the dog this morning before I watched the game I found myself thinking that the magic number was either 38 or 37. Happily, I now know that it's 37. When the score went to 7-1 I was thinking that the game wouldn't have much suspense. I was wrong. Also, right now I'm willing to have the Mets give Yoenis Cespedes a twenty-year contract. I expect that feeling will fade a bit.

I didn't, but I was watching the Colorado telecast.

I, too, was creeped out.
