After 40 games played in 2022, the Rockies have a .283 AVG at home compared to a .229 AVG on the road. They’ve averaged 5.96 runs per game at home and 2.7 rpg at home. Obviously, they play in a good park for hitters. But that doesn’t explain all of the discrepancy. Intelligent people accept [...]
Taijuan Walker pitched seven scoreless innings leading the Mets to just their second shutout win in the history of Coors Field, as they downed the Rockies, 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. The win upped the Mets’ record to 14-1 after a loss and gave them another series win. Walker had all of his pitches working and [...]
Recently, Gus made a comment that MLB should advocate for new ballparks to have a retractable roof. It adds significantly to the cost of building the stadium but it’s difficult to recall any of the teams that have a retractable roof wishing that they didn’t have one. Is it a case of teams opting for [...]
No one should be subjected to a doubleheader at Coors Field. The Mets didn’t play particularly well in either game and should be considered lucky to get away with a split. They took the first game, 5-1, and got trounced in the second, 11-3 Starling Marte returned from the bereavement list and homered on the [...]
Please use this thread for both games today. You know, if they get played.
It is not very often that you have the opportunity to sit by the fire, snow falling out the window, and just deeply think about things for a while. It is more rare for that to happen in the month of May, even in Denver, Colorado. Yet, Billy Eppler finds his team snowed out of [...]
I’m pressed for time today so here are some random thoughts about the Mets and the Mets blogosphere. Everyone made such a big deal out of the results of the Mets’ SP and now that Max Scherzer is out for a bit, those same people want to trade for a playoff SP. Meanwhile, David Peterson [...]
Pete Alonso crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Mets to a 7-6 win over the Cardinals Thursday afternoon. The Mets won the four-game series, 3-1, and took the season series by a 5-2 margin. The Mets twice lost two-run leads in this game. They scored two runs in [...]
When Max Scherzer unexpectedly walked off the mound in the sixth inning, it made Buck Showalter scramble. He had Adam Ottavino come in and he struck out the next batter to end the inning. With a doubleheader the day before, the Mets’ bullpen wasn’t the most rested it’s been all year, so Showalter sent Ottavino [...]
The Mets’ offense came out in a big way with 11 runs but the story of the game was Max Scherzer coming out of the game in a middle of an AB. After throwing a pitch, Scherzer immediately said he was done, going so far to make the throat-slash gesture. Later in the contest it [...]
