IGT Wed Apr 4 Phils @ Mets "Gay Dame"

[Fman99]

Aaron Nola vs Thor

1:10 start

Broadcast on Facebook? What the fuck is that for? Hopefully they get permission before they use anyone else's music in a transition shot, cause these FB fucks are ruthless. Trust me on this.

I'll listen on the radio; I don't want to add one more click to any stat
counter that could lead this becoming more of a thing than it already
shouldn't be.

I really should do the same. I might too, because I'm so busy posting all over the place during the game and I hardly get to actually watch it. I hear it tho and look when the boys voices are raised.

I may have to rotate media outlets for the game. Doing 3 at once is a tough gig.

Going later today with YoungerPooper and my favorite tita. Maybe I'll Facebook Live it.

I'll probably do the opposite. hard to actually watch at work but I'm all-in on the cord cutting idea.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm at the office today, so I'll just go with GameDay. If I was at home, and the only one within earshot, I'd do the Facebook streaming.

[TransMonk]

Not cool with this exclusive Facebook thingy. Extra Innings tells me I'll get EVERY out of market game...but, evidently not this one.

I'll be listening to the radio broadcast distractedly at work rather than giving the game my full attention later tonight on DVR delay.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Confirmed last night that you need to log in to a legitimate FB account to stream these games. What a buttfuck.

[TransMonk]

Legitimate FB account?

Man, the Russians are going to be pissed when they miss out on Thor.

[G-Fafif]

Hear 'em, see 'em, log on to 'em lining up as such:

Brandon Nimmo CF
Yoenis Céspedes LF
Jay Bruce RF
Todd Frazier 3B
Asdrúbal Cabrera 2B
Adrián González 1B
Kevin Plawecki C
Noah Syndergaard
RHP Amed Rosario SS

[G-Fafif]

First five games, Cabrera has batted 4th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 5th.

Asdrubal is Spanish for "versatile".

I had my cord cut 55½ years ago. I'll probably indulge MLB Live on fb, I'm weak
when it comes to the Mets and it's easy enough to find.

I'm all-out on these concepts and fear for the future of how I get my shit down the road.

[Guest sharpie]

So, I'm not on Facebook for a variety of reasons plus I can't duck out for a late lunch to watch this at a local restaurant. Glad this is only one game this year and I hope the experiment dies a sad death.

I feel kinda the same here, weak. Completely loathe FB, but Syndergaard v. Nola should be a great matchup and I have a bad feeling I'll activate my stupid account to watch this game. Maybe we can use a relevant #hashtag to voice our compliant displeasure.

There are to be 25 such 'Facebook' games this year. That's 50 teams involved total or between 1 and 2 for each team (assuming more or less even distribution which may or may not be the case).
So the good news here is that we're getting one of ours, and maybe the only one, off the table early.

[ashie62]

I'd rather "watch" the game on CBS Gametracker than on facebook.

Fortunate to have local TV today.

Expecting the Phillies to do something stupid today.

well you could, if local restaurants weren't likely to be incompetent.

They should probably get with it though, this isn't just some lark that Facebook is embarking on ,and it's not going to be limited to MLB. It might not be limited to games most people don't watch on tv anyway because work even.

[ashie62]

Not a lark for sure. Facebook moves like the blob absorbing all in its' path.

Just another thing

No local TV today. That's the gist of all this. No Mets production, no Phillies production, no cable, no MLB app. Just the Facecast for watching.

As always, WOR has it covered on radio.

[ashie62]

I just caught on.

This sucks, bad.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Splendid! I get a black screen with just audio.

MLB.com says the game is delayed.

Yes, we are in a rain delay.

I got video in Firefox now, Chrome no likey for some reason.

[G-Fafif]

Rain delay indicates Mother Nature's Facebook account has been hacked.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Do the Russian bots have any prognosis regarding when the game might get underway?

[Lefty Specialist]

Rain delay.

The algorithm of the rain indicates it will come down in buckets of borscht for a little while.
