New York Mets @ Colorado Rockies .....Aug. 1-3
3 game set @ Coors to end their visits out west for the year..(barring a possible postseason miracle)

Rosario to make his MLB debut.

Mets' Rosario set for debut against Rockies

Matz, Hoffman set to pitch in series opener

If the Mets have any designs on a last-gasp Wild Card run, they'll need to make the most of a three-game opportunity against the Rockies -- who are still holding down the National League's second Wild Card spot -- beginning Tuesday in Denver.


Shortstop Amed Rosario, the Mets' No. 1 prospect and the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball, will make his much-anticipated MLB debut in Tuesday's opener. New York's fan base has been clamoring to see Rosario, who hit .328 with seven home runs, seven triples, 19 doubles and 19 stolen bases in 94 games at Triple-A Las Vegas, with the big club for weeks, but general manager Sandy Alderson said the team wanted to wait until the roster had solidified after Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline.

Looking ahead:

ATLANTA -- Yu Darvish will make his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night at the New York Mets.

Darvish, a four-time All-Star pitcher, was acquired from the Texas Rangers for three prospects just before Monday's deadline to make trades without waivers. The right-hander was not with the team for Tuesday night's opener of a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves.

Manager Dave Roberts said Darvish will join the team on Wednesday and throw a bullpen session.

The Dodgers, who lead the National League West by 14 games and have the best record in the majors at 74-31, bolstered their postseason outlook by adding Darvish and relievers Tony Watson and Tony Cingrani to an already deep roster.

Watson came from the Pittsburgh Pirates and joined the Dodgers on Tuesday. Roberts said Cingrani, acquired from Cincinnati, will arrive on Thursday.

Well, the Rosario era starts off decently. Got a hit, made a couple of decent stops. Can't really blame him for the miss-play, when he was breaking to cover second and had to run back to the ball.

We still have too many middle infielders, though. Can't believe they didn't at least try to move Cabrera. Or, maybe they did and it's just that nobody wants him. Possibly some playoff-bound team has a late-season injury, and will take him off the waiver wire before September.

Shocker...LOL......another game given away by TC and *Robles.

Rox walk off again 5-4...via a bases loaded walk.

:L

Arenado's bases-loaded walk lifts Rockies over Mets, 5-4


Mets reliever Hansel Robles began the ninth by hitting Jonathan Lucroy. After a sacrifice by Pat Valaika, Blackmon was intentionally walked and DJ LeMahieu loaded the bases with another walk.

Robles got Arenado down 0-2 but the All-Star third baseman worked the count full. Robles' sent his last pitch to the wall behind home plate, bringing in Lucroy with the winning run.

*I have a feeling they'll outright him after this episode...but who knows given this front office's snafu history.

In any event Los Doyers will be in Queens for the weekend.
