That might have been the best inning Betances has pitched this year. Unhittable. Using that 99-100 MPH fastball with confidence. He was going to the slider too much before...

In an unrelated situation. It was 103 here today, but it’s cooling off for the evening now. We just had two odd microbursts, one with a short blast of hurricane-force wind going west, the minutes later one with equal winds of hurrican force blowing back to the east.
If your trash can was blown away, it probably came back. It’s very dry out, so the dust and tumbleweeds were quite a sight!
I love Colorado weather so much...

I love Colorado weather so much... yeah....of course anywhere on the plains east of the Rockies has episodes of strong weather events.....I remember a beautiful afternoon in Denver when a particularly malevolent cloud appeared from a clear sky, with an explosive nature of expanding at incredible speed, followed within minutes by hail and torrential rain.....I have never again seen such a rapid change in the ambient conditions........I have lived in many tornado states, but saw nothing like that........I wonder if that is an artifact of the Rockies in some way?

I would certainly expect that it has to do with the Rockies, Utah. Elevations of 14K, weather systems pushing across from “your side” pushing the cold air to the brink where it can drop and rapidly mix with the hot air o. The east side. The east side of the Rockies (and I would suspect the west side as well) as the elevation drops is more humid and gets a good bit more rain as well snow than we do in the valleys and the plains.
It can get exciting in a hurry. I’ve seen even faster development of thunderstorms at 10K + feet. Sometimes there is sudden formation of clouds up there that appear to crash together, produce lightning and torrential downpours that can last for hours or be over in less than a minute.
I remember one particular round of golf from the first time I lived out here that I saw just about every form of weather possible, all within 18 holes. We were wearing shorts and the hail felt like fire hitting the backs my calves with the sunburn I had acquired earlier in the day...By the end of the round it was placid and pleasant again.
I went from calm and warm to extremely windy, blowing up s dust storm, the hail, followed by a cold rain, a brief snow shower, back sunny and calm...then another flurry of hail that made us take shelter for about 20 minutes...All on a day that topped out at about 75 degrees. Most fun on the golf course ever!!!
