IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

[Fman99]

I suppose since I have not started an IGT that led to a loss, that I will start tomorrow's thread today. Hopefully the forecast improves.

[G-Fafif]

Harvey still the scheduled starter Tuesday, but Syndergaard moves up to Wednesday and deGrom gets the Gnats on Thursday. No Lugo for now.

Weather permitting, of course.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I approve.

[G-Fafif]

To clarify, Noah and Jake are where they were all along. It's really just a matter of Lugo getting bumped.

[Frayed Knot]

Rain most of the day Tuesday, high of 45
Warmer but just as wet on Wednesday.
Good thing this series comes against a division opponent with plenty of make-up chances.

[Guest cooby]

I was hoping to watch the game tonight but it looks like the Phillies station has the Flyers on. Sigh.

Plus it's raining cats and dogs, at least here

[Benjamin Grimm]

This game is actually not going to be televised at all by the Phillies. They have two stations that their games appear on, and one will be showing the Sixers and the other will be showing the Flyers. If I want to watch the show (since the game is blacked on on MLB for me) I have to stream it from the local station's website.

[Guest cooby]

Ah, you are in the same boat.

One of these days I'm going to find our Sirius password so I can listen on my laptop.

[Lefty Specialist]

With the snow we had yesterday added to the feline and canines coming down today, I'd be really surprised if the field was playable this evening.

[G-Fafif]

A start for Jose, and the pitcher bats ninth.

Nimmo CF
Cabrera 2B
Céspedes LF
Bruce RF
Frazier 3B
González 1B
d’Arnaud C
Reyes SS
Harvey RHP

[A Boy Named Seo]

So the pitcher batting 8th is a thing for Rosario then? If you like it for him, you might as well like it for Reyes, too.

It sure looks wet and cold in the Bronx and that game should be ending right around the time ours is beginning.
On the other hand, CitiField is likely to be warmer on account of it being further south. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.




P.S. If you bring back a ball heading over the fence right around the 314 ft sign (as Tampa's Carlos Gomez just did to MFY Tyler Wade) should the fielder still get credit for a robbed HR?
I was thinking that maybe it should count for only a stolen double or something, y'know, kinda like the too-small fish that you're required to throw back.

Look at this clean-shaven baby-face the Mets have pitching.

[Edgy MD]

Ten pitches in the first, 1-2-3, topping out at 93.

Let's work with that.

It may be more about Harvey, who is a bad hitter, and a worse bunter, compared to Syndergaard and deGrom.

Is it about Reyes/Rosario, or is it about DeGrom and Syndergaard being good hitters? Harvelous hit over .300 his first full season, if I'm remembering right, but his hitting fell off the table even before his pitching did.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mickey has said that it would not be influenced by the hitting ability of his pitchers.

[Edgy MD]

Reyes mentoring Rosario: Amed, no hagas lo que acabo de hacer.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jose.

[Guest cooby]

Un effing believable. I can't listen on Sirius either, because they only carry 2 games a day now. And through this whole foray I have discovered we are paying $1000 a year!

I couldn't find them either using the online player. However, my phone and the XM App had every game. You should try it that way.

Hovvey looks good so far.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Disappointing!

I'm afraid to try but I will tomorrow night. Thanks BG (and metirish for that previous suggestion)

When I hit that link, I get:

WTF does that mean.

I'm getting the game here:

are you on a vpn? might be why?


anyway, if you guys got local phillie cable you can watch the game on the nbc sports app.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's correct. I just don't feel like bothering to install an app and verify my account and all that for just this one game. So I'll just follow along with GameDay.
