Baty hitting 5th, I dig it

[Lefty Specialist]

Just sprinkly around DC right now, so hoping for the best. And hoping the Mets get more than a sprinkling of runs.

[Edgy MD]

Most interesting is the flipping of Jeff McNeil and Delroy Lindor, and the 2023 debut of Michael Perez, but I like Vogelbach fifth. I prefer rookies just hitting, without increasing the likelihood of game-tilting situations falling into their laps.



Strange that MLB.tv gave me the SNY feed last night. They've always treated games against the Nats as in my "area." I hope this is an indication that I'll get Mets/Nats games from now on.

[MFS62]

I can understand wanting to put as many lefty hitters in the lineup as possible, but if I were manager I'd only substitute Perez for Alvarez at gunpoint.

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's generally an accepted reality that catchers cannot play as often as other players.

[ashie62]

Alvarez will start tomorrow

[kcmets]

My initial reaction was who the hell is Perez?

Yeah, it's Trevor Williams, not Nolan Ryan. But I guess you can't play him every single day.

[ashie62]

Game starting on time

[Lefty Specialist]

Conditions have deteriorated into a steady windy rain. Ick.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah. Looks like they're getting some spray.



We've had rain most all of the day here in Baltimore.

[ashie62]

2-0 Washington in the first. Again

[ashie62]

May it pour rain

[Edgy MD]

[CROSSOUT]Three[/CROSSOUT] Four batters in, and the hole is happening again.



Keith is suddenly pronouncing Perez with the R mostly sounded as a D, which is more consistent with most Spanish-speaking Latin-American countries.

[metirish]

And so it begins, 1 down already

[ashie62]

Jeremy Hefner is having a hellish season

[Edgy MD]

Saved by Smitty.

[Edgy MD]

Lucchesi seemed to have his grip on about 45% of the pitches that inning, as opposed to 30–35% in the first inning.

[Lefty Specialist]

They're using a years' worth of Diamond Dry already.

[metirish]

Surely they'll halt this soon ?

[Edgy MD]

Ninety-nine percent of MLB players historically score from first on that double.



Daniel Vogelbach, you crazy one-percenter.

[batmagadanleadoff]

If not for this sudden rain delay, they woulda hadda bring out an oxygen tank for Vogelbach, who went first to third.

[Frayed Knot]

Michael Perez: the Bringer of Rain Delays

[Lefty Specialist]

If not for this sudden rain delay, they woulda hadda bring out an oxygen tank for Vogelbach, who went first to third.

Lefty Jr said, "At least he didn't fall down."

[Lefty Specialist]

Rain is lightening somewhat, but looks like there's heavier stuff on the way.

[kcmets]

Anyone in radio or twitter-land have an update on possible re-start time?
