Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Looks like about 90 fans in the park.Also, Tigers are playing at least two guys in unfamiliar positions.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Tigers have busted out with a first-inning three-run shot that wouldn't have left the park under the original dimensions, but alas.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Good thing that Miggy is out of the lineup. Or not.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Mets outfielder either having trouble with the sun or are playing with holes in their gloves.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 I didn't think Pham's shot was far enough or fair enough.Turned out it was just barely so in each case.

MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Why not Alvarez against the lefty?The second game starter for Detroit is a righty.Later
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Why not Nido?If you are alternating, they presumably both have the same advantage against a lefty, and the same disadvantage against a righty.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 How about Nido catches the Hall of Fame pitcher in Scherzer. Nido is the defensive catcher?
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Anyway, comeback needed. Plenty of time
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Alvarez is the hotter batter. He is 6-for-17 (.353) with a home run and three RBIs over his last seven games.If he isn't going to catch against the lefty, why not DH him?(Although I can't argue that after what Canha did)Later Edited May 3, 2023 by Guest

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 They were late with the Lou Brock graphic. I was afraid it had been retired.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Lindor clears the original dimensions!
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 The Pham & Haase HRs were made possible by the newer dimensions, but the ones by Lindor, Canha, and Baez needed no help.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Jimmy doesn't like to give up hitsJimmy likes to strike people out
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 I like being wrong when it turns out like that.Later
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Jimmy giving us some nice (yaca)bonus middle relief work.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 I've had to watch with the sound off, because I was in a meeting. Did Lucchesi come out because he was ineffective, or hurt? He only threw 46 pitches.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) No explanation given.Gary speculated about needing a starter on Sunday so maybe bringing Lew Casey back on three days rest. Or maybe just Buck wanted to counter Detroit's RH-heavy lineup rather than have the Lefty going third time around. Edited May 3, 2023 by Guest
Zach Thornton Syracuse Mets - AAA LHP On Sunday, the southpaw tossed five shutout innings as the bulk pitcher. He gave up 2 hits, walked 2 and had 5 strikeouts. Explore Zach Thornton News >
