Weather permitting, and weather's been in a bitchy mood.

Maybe they can find some of Charlie Finley's old dyed-orange baseballs to use so they won't get lost in the snow. Later

With Covid restrictions on attendance and weather that few want to face anyhow, it shouldn't really matter so much where teams play. The Mets and Roxx should have just flown in to Scottsdale.

The good news is the Mets are among the leaders in the least amount of losses.

So, a doubleheader starting at 5:10 EDT. I'm guessing deGrom gets the first game while Lucchesi gets the Ice Station Zebra start.

Charlie Blackmon doubled and C.J. Cron walked to start the 2nd so it's 6 straight, but the last 7 outs are all Ks.

So far this game, deGrom has been brilliant, historically brilliant, hasn't given up an earned run, and is on the hook for the loss.



Typical.

Totally academic question here, but if Fuentes had two strikes and hit a playable fly ball in foul territory, would you want the fielder to let it drop to give deGrom a chance at 10 straight Ks?

The best thing Almora's slide was that he looked pretty bad running the bases.



Like, it's usually a useful thing to get a fresh pair of legs in there with the game on the line, but he was running like his legs had stiffened up in the cold on the bench.
