[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's rainy enough to call off the Cheetos opening day but not impossible to play

[bmfc1]

Why are they playing? MIA is in NY two more times so the game can be made up.

[G-Fafif]

Even Donald Fagen thinks starting on time was ill-advised.

Tarp didn't take long.

Should have played on Friday.

that would have made too much sense.



Mets should have used an "opener" knowing the forecast and brought Stroman on AFTER the rain delay

[G-Fafif]

Marcus has tweeted he won't be pitching for another five days.

[Edgy MD]

The idea of starting a game in 2021 minutes from delaying it is pretty funny.



Someday, they will invent things called weather radars. Not in time to help out with this game, unfortunately.

[Fman99]

Stro is right to be pissed. That's some nonsense

[G-Fafif]

BANG! Game suspended, not postponed. To be continued as part of a split doubleheader on Tuesday Aug. 31 at 1:10.

[G-Fafif]

The suspended game will be scheduled for nine innings. The scheduled game that night will be seven innings.

[Edgy MD]

That makes sense in a legalistic-but-otherwise-inscrutable way.



Mets remain fundefeated since dropping Conforto in batting order.

[G-Fafif]

Steve's got a rain guy.

Bizzaro week, tomorrow (or Tuesday) we turn the page...

[Edgy MD]

Stro really seems like there's something he wants to say.

I didn't form much of an opinion on Rojas last year. Now an opinion is coming into focus, and it's not a particularly positive one.

[Willets Point]

After how many innings is a 7 inning game considered an official game? 3.5?

[nymr83]

It was dumb to start this game. It was criminal to start Stroman and waste a start. Use Familia and if the rain actually passes through Stromal can pitch innings 3 through 9

[Benjamin Grimm]

Why can't they let him pitch on Wednesday?
