xIGT 03/25 - Mets at Yankees

[Guest d'Kong76]

Good news is game is televised, bad news is you'll have to
watch YES. Montero vs Tanaka for starters...

[Edgy MD]

Mets break to the early lead over the Yankees for the second straight time on the strength of the bat and wheels of Juan Lagares. This time he doubled, stole third, and scored on a throwing error by catcher John Ryan Murphy. Laggy on his way to gaining for himself as Most Hated Met status in Yankee circles.

METS!

I don't see a visitors lineup at that link. And to be clear,
I mean lineups before game starts... once it starts the sites
all have score updates, etc.

I just search for "Tigers" + "Lineup" on the Twitter. Some fool is out there racing to be the first to tweet it.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Headley tied it up. BOOOO!!!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Twitter would be the last place I'd go, but I guess I'll
have to adapt sooner or later.

[Edgy MD]

No doubt.

You can also get it relatively early from MLB Gameday, but you can't do the easy copy/paste thing there.

Mayboomy.

Reynolds squares one up to the deepest part of the park, on a two-strike count no less.

They're not smacking Tanaka around, but when they're hitting him, they're getting giant sequoia on it.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Juan Lagares says different, as his home run chases Tanaka.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nope, that was off Betances, whose -- Michael Kay fantasy note!-- "struggles this spring continue."

I think it's a great sign that among the guys who've been the most exciting this spring are starters with room to improve (JohnnyLags, BillyFlowers).

Montero's looking great today, and I find myself wishing that Terry hadn't been so publicly Gee-whiz about the fifth-starter.

LOL. I didn't know this but could have predicted it. Every MFY fan thinks this guy is Mariano, only better.

The one missing there is Travis of Arnaud, and he's 2-3 with a rib this afternoon.

[Edgy MD]

Another 1 2/3 innings scoreless from Gilmartin. His earlier turd appearances keep his ERA inflated, but this guy is looks like a lock for the team, however much wishful thinking must be attached to that.

[Frayed Knot]

Runs off Tanaka? - Check
Runs off Bettances? - Check
Runs off Andrew Miller? - Check

Article this morning talking about how Bettances admits his velocity this spring has been "nowhere near where I want it to be" and how his last outing started with eight consecutive balls.

[crossout:3ildvhex]"But it's just the pitching scrubs that the Mets have hit"
"But it's early in spring training yet and people are still getting up to speed"
"But it was a long, uncomfortable bus trip"
"But Girardi's starting the kids"[/crossout:3ildvhex]
"But the Yankees only have, like, 2/3 of the regular lineup in"
"But RINGGGGGZ"
"How's Wheeler doing?"

[Ceetar]

well, there's always the "Spring Training stats mean nothing" truth.

[Edgy MD]

I would think they mean more in the aggregate.
