ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

[kcmets]

The Mets have split-squad games Saturday; one vs. the Cardinals and

the other vs. Fishsticks. The home opener is on WPIX at 1pm, set the DVR.

[MFS62]

To me, Spring has always meant seeing the box score of the first Spring Training game.

This year, there will be the joy of seeing two of them on the same day.

Can't wait.

Very helpful. I updated to include away team broadcasts for those of us with the apps that may want to tune in.



the app lists split Mets broadcasts for the ss games, TV on the road, radio at home. dunno if that's accurate, but is true to past years.

Having only previously heard Wayne via the radio, I had no idea he looked like that.

Windy in St. Lucie today. Chasen Shreve appeared susceptible to being bruised by a stiff breeze.

Are the Marlins really going back to teal tops and the off-center fish insignia again?

[Edgy MD]

They get the tying run on in the ninth in Jupiter, but fall 2-0.

[Frayed Knot]

And at [insert name here] park in PSL they fall 5-3

Goddamn disgrace as far as I'm concerned that the Marlins ditched their original Marlins Stadium art deco unis. Fucking philistine Jeter and his matching ego to have to have his own fucking unis.

The big stories today: the Marlins' starting left fielder and the Mets' newly refurbished park...



Brinson and Clover.

Matt Adams has not lost 30 pounds over the off-season.



I think the Marlins will terrorize us this year.

[LWFS]

I think this may BE the best shape of his life.



And re: that second one-- plus ca change...

[Fman99]

Today's 1 PM ST tilt is also being replayed at 8 PM on SNY. So, I will nap during game time and then watch it tonight and be happy to be watching a Mets game.

Cardinals at Mets, 02/23/20, 1:10 ET

Matz gets the first few innings.

Rosario DH

Giménez SS

Davis 3B

Adams 1B

Marisnick CF

Nido C

Guillorme 2B

Cordell RF

Tebow LF



(lineup subject to changes early and quite often)

[A Boy Named Seo]

Matz gives up a leadoff homer to Harrison Bader. Probably looks really pissed off on the mound right now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Marisnick is capable of battering a mistake pitch

You posted that before I could remember how to spell his name.

Harol Gonzalez out there in the 9th, wearing no. 5. He's an athletic young pup

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This guy is fresh. Stylish hair, sideburns, Fu Manchu and whiffed the 1st 2 guys he faced. Now gives up back to back singles. C'mon, Harol!!!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Harol proceeds to give up 3 straight singles but managed a "hold" on Brody Quinn's throw to the plate. Last chance to avoid a tie

Wearing number 5????

[Frayed Knot]

And speaking of athletic guys, the one who started in RF today -- Ryan Cordell, in camp as an NRI following two partial seasons (254 ABs in total) w/the ChiSox -- looks like he's a piece of raw material.

With minor lg numbers that are decent but not great [.273/.334/.458 in 2K ABs] and not exactly a high pedigree guy [11th round pick out of Liberty U by Texas in 2013] he's unlikely to have a ceiling as much

more than a bench player.

But he had a nice RBI-single AB today (the only one I saw anyway) and threw out a wanderer at 1st from RF. He's a 6' 4"/195 OF'er w/some CF under his belt who can run a bit [90 SB in 115 minor lg attempts]

and turns 28 next month which means, if he's ever going to get a shot, this would be the time to do it. And right after I was thinking how good he was looking in this brief intro, Gary piped up with the tidbit that

there's been talk within the org about how he's the type of player who could play his way onto the team with a good spring in this era of 26 man rosters.

Little kid face underneath that circa-'70s tonsorial bid'ness. Like a middle-school kid playing a baseball-slinging adult in a school play.

Mets beat the Nationals today 2-1, Wilson Ramos homered.

[G-Fafif]

Tim Tebow has homered. Praise be.

Riley Gilliam and Kevin Smith are applying for a quick ticket out of camp.
