IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

[G-Fafif]

I'm no Fman (who among us is?), but I've got the lineup:

Nimmo RF
Conforto CF
Cespedes LF
Frazier 3B
Flores 1B
Rosario SS
Reyes 2B
Nido C
Syndergaard P

They're all wearing 42 and mufflers.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacín (0-1, 6.59 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (2-0, 3.94)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if Gary Cohen knows how to pronounce "Jhoulys".

[Guest d'Kong76]

I hope someone does because I certainly don't.

[Fman99]

I believe you're up to the task, G. A new streak starts today, if you believe it does.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Villar 2b
Thames 1b
Cain cf
Shaw 3b
Santana rf
Perez lf
Arcia ss
Randy c
Chacin p

[Centerfield]

Love the sentiment behind Jackie Robinson Day.

Not sure I feel the same about the 42 tradition. Seems a bit unnecessary and silly and detracts from the overall, serious message.

I feel like announcers and fans get caught up making dumb “it’s 42 again, he’s everywhere” jokes.

[Frayed Knot]

Cloudy / Windy (20 mph) / 41
But the rain is expected to hold off until 4, so they have incentive to get the thing started on time and over with as quickly as possible.


Games already canceled today in Cleveland vs TOR, Minneapolis vs CWS, Chicago vs Braves.
And also in Detroit where the afternoon half of a scheduled split DH is a makeup of yesterday's washout vs the Yanx and is itself now a washout. The second half of the DH appears to be in limbo for now.

[G-Fafif]

The players are all wearing 42, but the thermometer can't get above 41.

For some of us, note that the game is now part of MLBN's regional coverage this afternoon.

Cespedes has to be wearing 10 pounds of armor and winter wear

[Edgy MD]

Somebody let Reyes know the season has started.

Apparently, he's a good clubhouse presence so make him another coach and get someone in there who can play ball.

The Brewers have gone from a team that I am indifferent about to a team that should lose every single game and their fans can go have intercourse with themselves.

Seven K's including six in a row for the big guy.

Makes you wonder why folks wear gloves anymore.

Smokes. Eight in a row!

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo. PT for Nimmo!!

[Edgy MD]

Booooooo! A hit!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cespedes LOB'n machine.

[ashie62]

8k's for Noah in a row

When the weather warms Cespedes will go on one terrific tear.

[Edgy MD]

Jett gets tossed for thinking the major was a lady suffragette.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Amed! FLASHING leather!

[Edgy MD]

Great play by Ron Taylor to get Ron Taylor!

[Edgy MD]

Fray looks hurt.

[Edgy MD]

Chance for redemption, José.

[Edgy MD]

Odd time to burn a pinch-hitter and a catcher, Mick.

[Guest 41Forever]

Thor looks locked in in the mound and hitting too!

[Chad ochoseis]

Yeah, Gary's saying the same thing. Not sure if the logic was that Syndergaard is a better hitter than Nido (a distinct possibility), or what. Even so, there's a good chance Nido would have drawn the walk. Either way, why do all that burning in a game that very well can go into extras?

I dunno. I want to think that Mickey is playing six-dimensional chess. Maybe he was trying to get an insurance run thinking that the game may be rain-shortened.

[Edgy MD]

And Syndergaard ends up getting one more out and departing.

[Edgy MD]

And there goes the lead.
