IGT 6/2/2021: NYM@ARI — You Bum

[G-Fafif]

The lineup poised to avenge MadBum for the 2016 WC Game.



3B Villar

SS Lindor

C McCann

1B Alonso

CF Pillar

LF Smith

RF Drury

2B Peraza

SP Peterson



3:40 EDT start, no actual television, but YouTube.

[G-Fafif]

Nobody in the lineup who was around for the 2016 WC Game, but even still.

[Edgy MD]

Alonso is the only guy around from 2020 finale.

[G-Fafif]

Dadgum it, somebody avenge something!

[kcmets]

I have YouTube and streaming service on Verison Fios. I orally and politely asked my

remote about 'Mets game on YouTube' three times.



Got bottom button suggestions: search for funny shows, funny videos, play a YouTube

video and (this is the really funny one) 'what can you do to help?'



Progress.

[kcmets]

It's fucking bullshit, I have no desire to start a free trial of YouTube TV but will

play along so I can watch a baseball game. Someone get Uncle Steve on the horn.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You have to sign up for a free trial? Ugh. Maybe I'll just listen to the audio on MLB.com.

[kcmets]

I can't get it to work. I'm sure someone will chime in and say I'm an old white luddite.

[dinosaur jesus]

I subscribed to YouTube, just to get rid of the ads every forty seconds. But I'm still not happy about ballgames being on it. It's one thing to put them on mlb.com, which gives you access to every game not on national TV or blacked out locally, or on a network available on any TV package. It's another to put them on a source you have to pay for directly. And the announcers probably suck.

[Methead]

Does this link work for you, KC?

[Fman99]

This would be the day I experience a FIOS outage at my house. Stupid fiber.

[kcmets]

Thanks, but I'm good for now. Be wary after the 14 days, this thing costs $65/month if you

don't cancel it or whatever.



I got the free trial to work on Firefox, Chrome just kept sending me to google links which is

kinda funny because Google (Chrome) owns YouTube.

Anything's better than the cable network lockdown, this isn't the best solution, but I'd rather games be on YouTube than ESPN/Fox/WB11. And certainly telegraphing and trail-running a move to streaming gets everyone to at least know where the buttons are. Like mobile only ticketing and cashless ballparks. Fraught with rich/poor problems of course, but isn't it all.

[Lefty Specialist]

Fios has a YouTube channel so it was easy to get into the game. But the pre-game is mind-numbingly awful. Makes one long for TV-Aux2 and Steve Gelbs.

[Lefty Specialist]

Omigod, commentary from John Franco. This should be..........not good.

[kcmets]

Yes, I got it work on Fios finally. Have to remember to go figure out opting out

of free trial thing I wasted time on getting to work so they don't steal $65 two

weeks from now.

[Ceetar]

i mean, SNYs pre/post is mindnumbling awful too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm getting the telecast through the MLB app. Didn't have to sign up for anything.

[LWFS]

Lord, even the damn commercial breaks are more annoying. If you're going to take time out for ads, show some ads.

[G-Fafif]

Take that, 2016 SFG!

[Edgy MD]

McCandy!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I just went to youtube and it was on the front page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLHV5nBuUKAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLHV5nBuUKA



Uh, McCann just hit a 3-run homer

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, so we're getting the bad MadBum today. Works for me.

We're getting Omar Minaya making chat commentary, I think.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

You knew Franco was gonna talk about Piazza. 4 up, 4 hits so far

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is the patch the Mets and Diamondbacks are wearing. (I had been afraid it was a YouTube patch. Fortunately that's not the case.)

oh boy

[Edgy MD]

Looked like both infielders quit on that grounder by Pillar.



Arizona looking real last place.
