IGT - Aug 12 -- Phils @ Mets (and series preview!!)

[ashie62]

Max at 38 pitches already

[Frayed Knot]

Not noticing any difference in picture quality.

But if you are maybe you can answer this question: is that 30-weight oil in Brandon Marsh's hair or 40?

[Lefty Specialist]

Hope Max gets it together soon. Phils seem to be very aggressive swinging tonight.

[Lefty Specialist]

And I'm finding the Apple TV picture too dark.

[Fman99]

I am with Soupy on this - the quality of the video feed really pops on my big mutha TV set.



The audio, on the other hand, well, uh

[Edgy MD]

Mets now out of infielders in the second inning.

[Edgy MD]

Weird shit happening in the Mets dugout.

[Edgy MD]

Canha gonya.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil out?



Canha at third?



STUPID DEPTH CHART THREAD!!!

[Fman99]

Escobar and McNeil both out? I don't know what's going on. Announcers not giving any indication that they know what the haps are

[Edgy MD]

Could this announcing crew be more confused and confusing?

[Frayed Knot]

Well now we know who's 4th on the 3B depth chart.

[Edgy MD]

Canha has four career appearances at third, none since 2016.

[Lefty Specialist]

What the hell is going on??????

[Lefty Specialist]

Mark Vientos, white courtesy phone......

[Gwreck]

Positive COVID tests? Not sure what else would have prompted them both being pulled.

[Edgy MD]

The amazing thing is that there are three persons in the booth and none of them seem to have heard of injury substitutions, and they seem to think this is some sort of inscrutable Buck Showalter strategy.

[Edgy MD]

For what it's worth, I don't think the two changes are related.

[Edgy MD]

They haven't even noted if either of the replaced players is in the dugout.

[soupcan]

I'm watching directly through Apple - mebbe that's the dif in picture?



Brandon Marsh is very clearly a pomade user.



And I may have spoken too soon about my syncing success… either I'm a moron or the tv and radio are moving at different speeds.

[Edgy MD]

Heidi Watney to the rescue!



(Who is Heidi Watney?)

[bmfc1]

I don't know about you but if the other team moved a regular OFer to 3B I'd bunt right away.

[Frayed Knot]

The Pause and FF/REW on my remote has no effect on the APPLETV picture so I can't use those to synch up with radio... and the radio is about 4 pitches behind.

[Edgy MD]

I don't know if McNeil hurt his head or his knee, but there's something weird about the quick-draining turf of today that when guys slide on the knee, it can snag.

[soupcan]

And I can't pause the radio but can pause the Apple.

Nobody pulled from the game yet in Syracuse. Vientos just batted and struck out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wish I had the option to watch this in standard def. I think Apple is using a higher resolution image, which is why it looks so good, but I'm having very annoying buffering issues.

[Edgy MD]

Nido is probably better throwing the ball right to third. I never see the pump-fake fool the runner over there.

[Edgy MD]

Marsh looks very marshy.
