Now they need three in the ninth.

If only they were playing in Colorado.

It started with the last game against Minnesota. Play was uninspired there and hasn’t really recovered.

Leadoff single = a decrease in run potential

I’m not sure Bader was running full speed. But he is safe.

If the Mets win this challenge it will give an opportunity for someone else to hit into a GiDP

Wasn't Viktor Vodnik a villain in one of the Bond films?

The result was never in doubt.

Credit that win to the Rockies' infield.

Strange to suddenly see Nolan Arrenado playing so indifferently at third in St. Louis, but his successor here in Denver looks as good as Arrenado ever was.

And the Mets lack of crisp defense:
- throwing error by Bader
- several 'coulda' plays by Vientos not made plus one actual (if flukey) error
- Taylor momentarily fumbling the ball in the RF corner - the runner is out at home (or stays at 3rd) if he doesn't
- then, even after Taylor's bobble, that was a really poor relay throw from Iglesies. He rushed it when he didn't need to and two-hopped a throw from short RF
BOTH of those last two needed to happen for the Rox to score that run.

Frustrating game to attend in person, between the rain and the Mets lackluster play.

Yeah, but that's more the crediting of the loss. On defense, the Mets looked like they had been in three time zones in three days.

An impressively bad game on both sides of the ball for Vientos. Confidence seems affected.

Catching up on some games.

Not a great performance here, but it was exciting at the start, at least.

There used to be a virulent Mariners' fan on another baseball page who trolled the Mets.
Because of her, I hat the M's.
