Opening Day (!) IGT 3/30 NYM @ MIA

[metirish]

Until next week's follow-up MRI, it'll be impossible to know just how long Verlander might be sidelined. He's voiced confidence that it's minor in nature and said he'd pitch if this occurred during the postseason. That's encouraging, but even a brief absence is notable



Not buying that , hombre

[Edgy MD]

Jerry Blevins rocking a brown velvet suit for OD.

so it begins. verlander to the IL https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/03/mets-place-justin-verlander-on-injured-list.htmlhttps://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/03/mets-place-justin-verlander-on-injured-list.html what the hell even is a teres major. sounds like a made up muscle that only a met would injure.

Have to admit I LOLed at this

Loan Depot Park looks about 25% filled.

Wow , and that's probably with a lot of Mets fans

[Edgy MD]

Marlins PA announcer needs to read the room. He thinks he's calling Wrestlemania.

The Mets lineup does look potent

[Edgy MD]

Marlins wearing patches plugging ADT, a South Florida security firm.



Mets not as yet pimping, apart from the Nike swoosh.

It's Florida, Jake.

[kcmets]

I was going to post that ADT has been around forever and then I looked it

up and they really have been -- since 1874 according to the GoogleGods...

[ashie62]

Two hour game anyone? It's all about Flowww

[ashie62]

Pete looks great, somewhat lighter

[Edgy MD]

Vogelbach becomes the first Mets baserunner on a four-pitch walk. Now for the steal.

[Edgy MD]

Narváez puts the Mets in the hit column and Vogey goes first to third.



A sac fly — a deep sac fly — would give the Mets the lead.

[Edgy MD]

Vogeljets gets it done!

[Edgy MD]

As Jeff McNeil gets robbed of an RBI double, I just remembered that he's sitting on a 10-game hit streak from the end of last season.

[metirish]

Listened to the first three innings on the drive home, have to say Howie's new partner (Keith) in the radio booth is very good.

[Lefty Specialist]

Moving along briskly. Lindor's having a good day in the field, and the speed of Vogelbach resulkts in the run.

[whippoorwill]

Why is Alonso out?

That was something I never thought I'd read.

Later

[kcmets]

Have watched less than expected but I'm back. Sounds like they've got

themselves a home crowd vibe thing going on.

I don't know if that's true, but Gare doesn't ever mention the 7 line crowd

[metirish]

Why is Alcantara pronounced Alcantra ?

[Edgy MD]

Well, there's a horseshit clock call.

And there's #11 with an 0-2 RBI single!

Absolutely nonsense, a trady Pete getting back to first means a strike call on the hitter (Jeff)

[A Boy Named Seo]

Why is Alcantara pronounced Alcantra ?

It's not. BB-R has it like this:



Sandy Alcantara - \all-KON-ta-ra\



but it's probably closer to \all-KON-ta-da\ if you try and hit the "r" right at the end

Thanks, Jake , but the announcers always go with Alcantra for some reason

[Edgy MD]

Suddenly a tie game as everything Scherzer is throwing this inning has been a-hangin'.
