The doubleheader the lockout wrought commences at 3:10 PM. Starting pitchers for the opener (and nightcap) to be announced. Either prospective 27th man David Peterson or Carlos Carrasco for the Mets; either Charlie Morton or Kyle Wright for the visitors.

I think Charlie Morton is older than I am. Somewhere there's a baseball card picture of him that gets older each year while he doesn't age.

You watch him pitch and think you could just grab a bat and get a hit off him.

Then you find yourself carrying that bat back to the dugout.

Not today, old guy!

LFGM.

The staff has suddenly allowed 10 runs and 5 HRs over the last two games.

Now would be a nice time to stop doing that.

Morton's curve sure looks trackable so far.

Mets on the board in the first.



Not quite sure how Lindor didn't go first to third. He wasn't being held.

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

Chasing the starter early in Game One of a double header is gold.



I'm not sure the Mets have had a swing and miss yet. Canha struck out looking on a pitch that probably didn't touch the zone.

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

McNeil whiffs, tipping the ball into the catcher's mitt.



Legally, the same thing as a swing and miss, but still not a swing and miss.

Middle of the second, we just hit the 45 minute mark...

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

A couple of rough calls in that inning.



I think that's a good sign of whether a young pitcher will stick — do crappy calls break him or not.

That foul ball called fair at third was pretty bad. That's the guy who was behind

the plate last night? Can umps have PointsBet accounts?

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

Probably.



Morton isn't really executing anything.



Probably one swing away from an exit.

That foul dubble called fair is the only hit Peterson has been tagged for.

An error and a smash and our lead is nearly dashed.



A ball coming right at you, especially without much rotation, can futz with your depth perception.

In an alternate universe, DP makes the DP and the inning ends.

Cripes, Morton is a completely different pitcher.

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

There's a chance that foul double nicked the bag. It seemed to change trajectory around that point, and that may explain the call.

Terrific job by Smith working with a rubbery strike zone.



Let's get a pad for Díaz.

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

Can't pinch-hit for Guillorme against the lefty because they need his glove in the bottom of the inning.



Good time for a Marte steal.

We have an even series, even if took four innings of bullpen excellence.

Re: IGT 5/3/2022 (1): ATL@NYM — 3 O’Clock High

It's a shame that we couldn't wrack their pen but Morton suddenly started getting single-digit pitch innings after looking like he wouldn't get past the 3rd and outlasted Peterson who obviously got undone in a two pitch sequence.
