With New York under an extreme heat warning, the dishes took additional precautions on Monday.
These included an hour of later report for players and shorter cycles of the stick in the stick before the opening of the series against the Braves of Atlanta to Citi Field.
Inside the Mets clubhouse, a video screen encouraged players to stay hydrated, monitor their weight and be effective with their pre-match work outside.
“I know that our group will continue to provide information, education for players, with regard to the rest hydrated and things like that,” said manager Carlos Mendoza. “It is this part of the year now where you are going to play in time like that, so we will act accordingly and we will have guys ready to leave.”
The dishes have appointed four sections, as well as the rotunda of Jackie Robinson, as cooling stations for fans and made ice packs at all locations for fans.
It was 90 degrees when the food players warmed up before the match on Monday, and it should be even warmer on Tuesday when the starter Frankie Montas made his debut in the season in his return from a LAT tension.
“Just try to stay hydrated,” said Montas at Daily News, laughing. “Trying to get fast outings, trying not to have a high number of tangages and try to work quickly.”
Tuesday’s forecasts have a 99 degree summit in rinsing. The extreme heat warning of the National Weather Service is expected to remain in force up to at least 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
