Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Nothing beats Mother's Day at the ballpark! I mean, probably not, but ... I don't really know, not being a mother and all. Maybe mothers hate coming out to the ballpark after church and brunch. But whether the game is joyous or torment to your typical mum, ESPN cares not, so our Sunday afternoon game is going to be played seven hours after noon.Twenty-four-year-old righty Bryce Elder goes for the Braves, having not yet found the form that made him effective last season. Luiss Severinno goes for the Mets, coming off a remarkable eight innings of one-hit ball against the Cubs.

Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 ^^ saw them in Johnson City, TN earlier this year.Let's go Mets!We might be underwhelming, but at least we're not the Marlins.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Time to place your bets on how many minutes of game time will be seen on a shrunken screen while ESPN opts instead to more prominently show the guy being interviewed about the ongoing game at the expense of showing the actual game itself.Your choices are:* 0-3 minutes* 3-5 minutes* Three or more full innings
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 It's their toy and will use it three or more innings
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 The boith are pushing a "new" metric , I think they are referring to it as "swords "? Something about bat speed It's painful to listen to
bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 ESPN showed a picture of Ozuna and his mother. She must be so proud:[bLOCKQUOTE]On May 29, 2021, Ozuna was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after Sandy Springs Police claimed to witness him grabbing his wife by the neck and throwing her against a wall.[42][43] The charges were later withdrawn after completion of a diversion program. This resulted in Ozuna receiving a 20-game suspension which he served retroactively during the 2021 season.[44] This followed another incident that occurred almost a year prior when Guzman was arrested on her own domestic battery charge against her husband, hitting him with a soap dish which caused a small laceration on his face.[45]At 4 a.m. on August 19, 2022, Ozuna was arrested again and charged with driving under the influence after Norcross Police noticed his inability to stay in his lane.[/bLOCKQUOTE]
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 When there are two outs and the bases loaded in the first, I don't think I need a constant update in the guy's pitch count. If he's up to 40 after a batter reaches base, sure, spring it on me while we wait for the next guy to come up, but pitch counts have become so ubiquitous that the automatic story for first half of a game seemingly has to be the starting pitcher deathwatch, even as a very-high-leverage at-bat is coming to its conclusion.
whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 I have a hunch the boys'll win tonight
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 Leadoff singles in each of the first two innings, but so far unable to advance either.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 Could have used one or two yesterday.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 A while back I posed a question as to which Marlin OF cast-off would turn out to have the better rest of his career, Yelich or Giancarlo StantonThe answer is now becoming clear, it's Marcel Ozuna. OK that's the short term answer right now but it is becoming a three man race particularly as the other two are far removed from their peaks.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Down 0-1.I thought they'd be so frustrated after yesterday's pathetic showing, they'd come out like they were on fire and pile up the runs.I'm not optimistic.Later

Chad ochoseis Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Nice. Pretty much the same hit as the ball that went foul, except for the not going foul part.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 As many hits thru 3 innings (now 4) as in the 18 innings of the first two games combined (five)It's ... something.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 There's nothing quite like a guy getting picked off and pointing to the dugout calling on his manager to challenge on his behalf, and his manager is all, "No, youse out."

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Nice inning by SR-G, a couple Ks marred by an inherited runner scoring via a weak seeing-eye single.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 We scored a leadoff base-runner!!
