IGT Tues Apr 2 2019 NYM @ MIA

[Fman99]

May the good times continue! Jason Vargas against, uh somebody. 7:10 start.

[A Boy Named Seo]

The Mets tonight get Jose Urena, the Marlins ace(?), who got battered by the Rocks on Opening Day. He enters the day with a 9.64 ERA.



Conforto has a 1.060 OPS in 19 ABs and is my WITTNER© brand metronomes pick-to-click.



Nimmo has a 1.017 OPS in 10 ABs with 2 walks and a homer, so a good night for the kid to start his 2019 season.

77.78% of the starting lineup has a name that ends with either an S or an O. Replace Smith with Alfonso and the percentage would be even higher!

[Ceetar]

Nimmo will have 6 hits tonight, heard it here first.

Team hasn't amended the Twitter line-up so I assume it's what they're going with.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Why did we trade for Keon Broxton again?



Assuming Twitter is right, we're loading the lefties. Go Sleepy Dom! Keep up the good start.

[Edgy MD]

Conforto has a gift RBI with a runner on third and nobody on that side to field the bunt, but he's just swinging away.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets otherwise killing it against the shift. Up 2-0 in the first with the bags juiced.f



Mattingly, get a clue.

Dominic Smith: Shift Killer

[Edgy MD]

Did I say 2-0? It's 4-0 after Rosario tears the ass out of the ball for a double.

[Edgy MD]

The Marlins are ... fundamentally unsound.

[LWFS]

We're back to the top of the order. At 23 minutes and counting, this half-inning's verging on a half-hour.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Marlins suck and are ruining the spirit of competition in baseball for like the third time in the last 20 years. They totally should be relegated.

[Edgy MD]

I miss the Curtis who used to start off the season, like, 2-for-35 and then spend the rest of the year catching up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vargas acting all Vargassy

[LWFS]

While flipping around between workout and dinner earlier, I happened to alight on SNY for one of the ShoutyGuys shows, and ShoutyGuy One (Sal Somethingorother?) was decrying Matz's inconsistency, saying that he'd rather have Vargas' 3-4 runs/5 innings, because "you know what you're getting." ShoutyGuy Two candy-assedly agreed.



TLDR: Probably don't want to watch SNY when it's not pregame, game, or postgame.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

They're worse than us

[LWFS]

Maybe our slogan this year is: "Fuck Your Shift?"

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, definitely Something Something Fuck Something.

[Edgy MD]

Nice try, Steve Gelbs, but you fumbled that segment like you were picking it up with a catcher's mitt.

[Edgy MD]

Vargas working out of flux with Earth time.

[LWFS]

Vargas looks like he's worried about the double-shift he's going to work later DJing tonight at Scandals or Bazooms or some such.

[Guest 41Forever]

If we get five innings and only four runs or less from Vargas tonight, it will be a minor miracle.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, it's one run through three, but I'm not quite sure how he's doing it.

Pluck and elbow grease. Or split-end grease. Or eyebrow grease. Tough to tell, really.

Speaking of guys who got by with elbow grease and magic, did Bartolo make it to another season?

[Fman99]

Vargas is to pitching what Steve Gelbs is to trumpet playing.

Or Pluck Ichiro. Hey, somebody had to.
