Pete Alonso drives in 4 while Mets won sixth consequence

New York-A few hours before the Mets 10-5 victory against the Marlins on Tuesday, the Tyrone Taylor outflow came out of the clubhouse bearing a t-shirt and baseball pants on kneel. He looked on the field, where several players took a practice of early striker embarked in various layers of thicker clothes. One of them, Francisco Alvarez, wore black tracksuit with a hood covering everything except his eyes.

“Damn,” said Taylor. “I am a bit underestimated.”

It was not the coldest game in the history of Citi Field, nor the most windy. But the combination of these elements – 43 degrees at the first step, winds whipping from the West to 19 MPH and highly higher gusts than this – had been as extreme as an occasion since the opening of the stadium in 2009. According to the National Weather Service, the cooling of wind in Queens were seated in the mid -30th in the first launch and refused throughout the afternoon. This is why the dishes have moved the game since the start of 7:10 p.m. originally at 7:10 p.m. at 4:10 a.m.

Theoretically, it was supposed to make things easier … which is not the same thing as making them easy. The wind played a factor all afternoon, allowing Xavier Edwards to open the procedure with a contextual window which, based on the characteristics of the battered ball, had a 2%probability of hit. Juan Soto was probably disagreement with this evaluation while the ball exploded from its range for a single.

Two rounds later, the dishes equaled things on a pop pete alonso which also fell for a double RBI. He therefore went all afternoon in a back and forth case, that the dishes finally opened it with seven points in fifth and sixth rounds. Brandon Nimmo struck a double of two points. Starling Marte added a single two points. And after the marlins intentionally market Soto to load the bases, Alonso offered an icy revenge with a double of three points to guarantee the sixth consecutive victory of the food.

Then everyone hastened inside to warm up.

“We had no excuse,” said Alonso. “Yeah, it’s cold. Yeah, there is wind. So what? We have to go there, we have to put our uniform, and we have to go win a ball game.”

That day, there were no heroes who harden him in short sleeves. Most players wore thermals, some with facial coatings to complete the look. Francisco Lindor slipped a hooded sweatshirt under his uniform top, at some point even covering his baseball cap with the hood. Mark came from the afternoon reaching a quarter-back-style hand-style man fixed at the back of his jersey. During a change of pitching, Soto wandered in the section covered with the enclosure of the lifts.

“I like these guys,” said Soto laughing. “I like to talk to them.”

Back in the canoe, reserve players wore square jackets that covered their uniforms. Fans of the stands put on parkas and blankets, fighting against the wind to keep their caps on their heads. During the fourth round, the journalist of Sny Field Steve Gelbs traveled the stands by distributing hot chocolate.

Time, of course, was the most popular conversation of the day. In the comfort of their home club lived before the match, the players watched the Yankees and the Tigers play in icy conditions in Detroit, knowing that their turn was about to come.

“It’s more mental than everything,” said Ryne Stanek. “Physical conditions are what they are.

Stanek grew up in Kansas, where his high school team had to play through the cold, the wind and even the snow. A time like this, he said, tends to energize it.

“Once you started moving,” said Stanek, “it’s not so bad.”

The launcher leaving Clay Holmes, on the other hand, is an Alabaman who has rarely played in cold conditions before becoming pro. Time did not seem to affect Holmes much on Tuesday, however, because he withdrew the two -digit strikers for the first time in his career.

In the sixth round, Holmes was online for the victory and out of the match, in the clubhouse, where he could look in comfort while Soto and Alonso did their thing.

“It could have been a really easy game to go through movements, to apologize, but we didn’t do it,” said Alonso. “I think it was a huge declaration game for us.”
