IGT — 7/1/22, Rangers, Homecoming

[Edgy MD]

We're in the bottom of the first on apple.tv.



First two batters each out by a half step. Lindor walks and Alonso comes up, and I've had a LOT of invitations to put money down already.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ahhh 🍎. Don't have that

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, don't have Jeff McNeil mic'ed up after he strikes out.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil strikes out with runners on first and third, and is nicely mic'd up to show us just how filthy he can bring it.



The psychological manipulation to gamble gamble is intense.

[Fman99]

It's a free app and tonight's game is free. I'm watching it and, unfortunately also, listening to it. This woman's voice does not suit me.

[Edgy MD]

Peterson in control through two, with the exception of a dribbling infield hit is encouraging.



Escobar dropped back to eighth and popping up on the first pitch isn't encouraging.

[Edgy MD]

That was a little too over the plate for Semien, but that wasn't that bad of a pitch. Mets down, 1-0.

[Fman99]

Well, foof. Semien blows his load over the left field wall, 1-0

[kcmets]

I couldn't get the app on the tv for whatever reason. Log in to AppleTV on my laptop

with my iTunes account, found the game with a splash page of Lindor and score on the

bottom. Clicked on Live Now to play and nothing happens.



Fucking Manfreddening.

[Fman99]

Huh, I must be outside of some blackout range. Unlike, say, a WPIX game or a MLB Network game.

[kcmets]

I got it to work in Firefox, I was in Chrome. Weird.

[Edgy MD]

Man, the Mets are hitting into double plays these days like it's a matter of pride.

[kcmets]

Game stream is choppy at best. Commercials streaming normal. Brilliant!

[Lefty Specialist]

I think the Mets offense is using Windows 95 tonight.

Yup, and Gitmo looks like the wear and tear of making awesome plays allatime is beginning to really wear on that briefly fearsome bat he showed

[Ceetar]

I don't hate the apple broadcast, they're fine for national announcers I guess, though I'm barely listening at the moment. Some of thje graphics are neat. The stupid AI probability that makes no sense not withstanding.



but Apple TV-/+ is garbage, that the game is on it is dumb, and Rob Manfred hates baseball.

[Edgy MD]

Is G-Fafif in the house? I think I spotted him in the field-level seats.

[Edgy MD]

It's two on and 2-0 to Cahna. Great time to break through.

[Edgy MD]

RBI double!

[Edgy MD]

Infield in for Guillotine.

If I had to guess, 76% probability he's at some Long Island diner.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Otto is down 2-0 to everybody.

We'll have to check the lower right-hand corner for the Apple.tv+ odds.

[Lefty Specialist]

ESCOBOUTTIME!

[Frayed Knot]

Best. Blown. Ball. Four. Call .... EVER!!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Cutting the lead from 4-1 to 4-2 is not 'cutting the lead in half'.

[Edgy MD]

The booth is right about one thing. The catcher and manager Woodward left their young pitcher out to dry.

[Edgy MD]

Otto has left the game and returned to wherever palindromes come from.

[Lefty Specialist]

This booth is as unlistenable in the second Met game they've done as they were in their first. They said that the Mets and the Rangers were both fighting for thwir division leads, conveniently ignoring the fact that the Rangers are currently 11.5 games out.
