IGT 4/28/2021: BOS@NYM — Greatness Takes the Mound

[G-Fafif]

Jacob deGrom. 6:40 PM.

[Ceetar]

Mets On Tap podcast has pegged this as the turning point of the season, just fyi.

[kcmets]

I could get behind more 6:40 starts.

[Edgy MD]

I could get behind the Mets getting ahead.

[Ceetar]

I gotta coach softball until 7:15 though.

[Willets Point]

I'm in the same boat. My daughter's baseball game starts at 6:30.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

what's the 6:40 business?

[Fman99]

I like it - I've been having trouble making it to the end of these 7:05 starts. I'm a tired old man with a head full of craft beer (hear more about it https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-6/on our podcast!)

7:10 even.



I dunno, but I imagine the Mets appreciate the extra half hour to avoid the solution to spreading a pandemic. (Lindor and co get their second shots after the game)

[Centerfield]

It's funny how we were like it's so weird they don't score runs for Jake and the Mets were like it totally is and then stopped scoring for everyone.

[Chad ochoseis]

Except Jake, oddly enough.

[kcmets]

Remember when we went through that Happy Harvey Day phase? Now it's Happy Greatness Day!

The game is starting early because of the State of the Union address.

O/U on Jake k's is 10 1/2

[Edgy MD]

Maybe deGrom introduces his curve tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Two takeaways from the opening montage of all of deGrom's 2021 strikeouts to date.

2. It looked like about 85% of them were swinging.


4. The Nats looked worse than any other team.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, runners are in scoring position ... time for operation shutdown



0/1 (K), 0/2 (F-7), Yhatzee!!! (6-4)

[Frayed Knot]

Lot of hard contact in top of 2

[bmfc1]

Can the C the Mets signed today be in uniform for Friday's game?

[G-Fafif]

Per Puma of the PST:

For those wondering why there is an early start at Citi Field tonight it's dictated by the CBA, with the Red Sox traveling to Texas after the game.

[Frayed Knot]

Infield shifts have served us well so far tonight

[bmfc1]

A robot ump wouldn't be causing a delay now.
