IGT — 4/19/2025: Let Us Connect

[Edgy MD]

The Mets go for Cardinal sweepage at home, wearing their third home unis in three days — assuming they keep up the pattern of donning the City Connect togs on Saturday. Matthew Liberatore will be deployed by St. Louis while the Mets go for the Ghost with Kodai Senga.



The first something thousand fans will receive a (questionably rendered, to judge by the image) Mr. Met Empire State Building Bobblehead Presented by Citi.

The Empire State building looks like a hypodermic needle.

The sweep will have to wait for tomorrow, since it's a four-game series.

METS ARE ON FIRE!

I thought the same thing when I read Edgy's post. Then I thought, well the Mets can't sweep the series unless they first win this afternoon. So I guess, you can say they a "going for" (or working towards) the sweep.

[ashie62]

It doesn't matter because



THE METS ARE ON FIRE



Great job by Senga getting out of the second

[The Hot Corner]

I thought the game was on Fox. So I turn it on and the Dodgers are playing. I turn the TV back off and go check on MLB app. and sure enough there are the Mets. I'm not sure who is calling the game, but it definitely is not Gary, Ron, and Keith. Probably, the back up crew from Fox. As long as I can watch, I'm happy.

Mark Sweeney and Brad Thompson



Acuna doubles the other way, Soto plates him and in Alonso plates Soto

[The Hot Corner]

Soto isn't a burner like Acuna, but he appeared to be running faster rounding third than I expected of him.



2-0 Good guys after 3 innings.

[metirish]

This commentary team on FOX would wither a saint

[Benjamin Grimm]

These announcers seem sleepy.

Vientos out of game



Did he pull something jumping for that liner? Egads

[Lefty Specialist]

Vientos out of the game- why? Won't get any information from these Fox knuckleheads.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice play by Baty, but sending the runner home there seems rather reckless.

[Frayed Knot]

That might be our infield's first accurate throw home of the season. Been a bunch of 'wrong side' throws up until now.

Between that and the two straight two-out RBI hits a couple innings earlier, I wasn't sure which team I was watching.

I don't want to know what kind of websites you're visiting

[Lefty Specialist]

STOP TALKING ABOUT FOOD YOU MORONS. There's a game on.

[The Hot Corner]

I am close to muting the blathering announcers.

[ashie62]

It's a very folksy broadcast

[ashie62]

Keep it together Kodai

[metirish]

Wainwright is good though, the lead guy just won't shut up

[The Hot Corner]

Is this the Food Network or MLB?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let's turn 3 here
