IGT 4/17/2021 (1): NYM@COL — Yeah, Sure

[G-Fafif]

Weather permitting, and weather's been in a bitchy mood.

[MFS62]

Maybe they can find some of Charlie Finley's old dyed-orange baseballs to use so they won't get lost in the snow.

Later

[Edgy MD]

With Covid restrictions on attendance and weather that few want to face anyhow, it shouldn't really matter so much where teams play. The Mets and Roxx should have just flown in to Scottsdale.

[ashie62]

The good news is the Mets are among the leaders in the least amount of losses.

[batmagadanleadoff]

The Mets are like Li'l Abner's Joe Btfsplk, with a black rain cloud perpetually over his head.

[Lefty Specialist]

So, a doubleheader starting at 5:10 EDT.



I'm guessing deGrom gets the first game while Lucchesi gets the Ice Station Zebra start.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo CF

Lindor SS

D. Smith LF

Alonso 1B

McNeil 2B

Conforto RF

J.D. Davis 3B

McCann C

deGrom RHP



Facing Chi-Chi Gonzalez.

[kcmets]

Some loud Mets fans in the crowd for Nimmo's opening base hit.

[Lefty Specialist]

I see LOBster is on the menu again.

[bmfc1]

Things looked good until Bruce "I'm Dreck" Dreckman decided to take matters into his own bloated hands by calling outside pitches as strikes.

[batmagadanleadoff]

deGrom (.600) also has the highest Mets batting average in today's lineup.

[Frayed Knot]

Haven't they learned yet that getting the leadoff man on kills our chances of scoring?!?

Like it's gonna matter today. deGrom's pitching.

Facing Chi-Chi Gonzalez.

[Edgy MD]

deGrom seems to be finding his groove after laboring so far.

[Willets Point]

Another contact-free delivery from deGrom!

[Edgy MD]

What an inning.

[Edgy MD]

deGrom with as many hits as Conforto.

[Edgy MD]

Gonzalez getting some silly calls from the ump.

[Willets Point]

Gary keeps saying "here at Citi Field," and while I know they're broadcasting remotely it's still a little disorienting when I can see Coors Field on the screen.

[Lefty Specialist]

A deGrom run.

[Willets Point]

It would be funny if Chi Chi González walked up to a Devo track.

[Willets Point]

6 straight strikeouts for deGrom. He's determined to preserve his 1-run lead.

[Willets Point]

A crooked number of hits for Conforto!

Isn't it the last seven, not six, outs?

[Willets Point]

Could be. I thought Gary said six straight.

[Willets Point]

Charlie Blackmon doubled and C.J. Cron walked to start the 2nd so it's 6 straight, but the last 7 outs are all Ks.

[Edgy MD]

deGrom is starting to act like the opposition bores him.
