2016 IGT 04/04 (03 if on ESPN) Mets at Royals

[bmfc1]

Who is the home plate umpire? ESPN has been too busy fellating the Royals to tells us the umpire's names.

[ashie62]

Asdrubal!

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that nobody had Cabrera as the first hit in the Mets firsts contest.

It should be banned from MLB broadcasts.

Take it easy. It's one plate trip into the season.

Ashie62 wrote: Never liked Duda anyway.

If you can't like Duda, then look within. He's awesome. I promise you.

[bmfc1]

Good news: Jessica Mendoza seems to know her stuff and isn't a racist, scumbag, piece of crap like Schilling.
Good news: no Kruk.
Bad news: Aaron Boone won't shut up.
Worst news: there's a super-imposed box on the screen that Boone won't stop talking about.

I... I like the k zone. Love it in fact, and demand it in all my baseball viewings.

I like it conceptually, but I suspect all the various implementations of it aren't linked to the stadium/pitchfx one which is what I'd want to see.

Jennifer So-and-So on the virtue of being a sideline reporter with full, luscious breasts.

It makes for lazy broadcasters, too. You wonder if these hacks could honestly tell you what should or shouldn't be a strike if the rectangle stopped working.

This is out of line and offensive.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Jeez, you'd think Hosmer and the Royals are fucking Kreskin's with ESP and superduper hypnotic powers ferchrissakes already, the way these announcers are carrying on. He scores on a bad throw and they act like he invented electricity or something.

Well, golly. Good news is that there's just 161 more IGT's left to go this year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's go Cespedes. Make up for it

[batmagadanleadoff]

If I hear another word about how fucking smart the Royals scouts are, I'm gonna shoot my TV Elvis-style. Like the Mets scouts are Donald Trump or something.

[Edgy MD]

I know the performance history speaks well of him, but I've never been impressed by Volquez.

He's got a cute knuckle curve, but not much more.

Iva already gone to radio but they're several pitches ahead

I have to disagree, much prefer the white.

[bmfc1]

When the Mets win the Series, I want their opening night unis in 2017 to light up.

[Fman99]

Harvey locked in now and looking sharp.

I hope this statement is not offensive to anyone.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'm not glued to the commentary, but what I've heard from Jennifer
is an upgrade from most national broadcast crap. Yay to her, thus far!

[Edgy MD]

Mark Carig on Matt Harvey: "This guy THRIVES on energy."

I, myself, thrive on entropy and indolence.

[bmfc1]

Gerry Davis is the HP ump. I had to look it up. ESPN can't find a second to tell us.

[Edgy MD]

Defense killz.

Was the difference in the World Series, and is the difference so far tonight, sabermetrics be damned.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Ugh.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

First ever post from my tablet. I generally use my laptop for IGT posting when watching the Mets, but I haven't used the laptop since the baseball season ended last year. Now I can't remember the password to get on my laptop. Not the end of the world, since I obviously don't use the laptop very much.

Damn you Hosmer!

[Guest cooby classic]

I hope your tablet is lucky!

[Edgy MD]

Duda learns throwing and the Metz turn a 3-6-1.

Lets get some runzzzz.

What would that be on the dial? AM? FM?

The opening fly to Cespedes: OY! wtf man.

ESPN box: develop the tech where I can turn that off and on from my remote or get that shit off my screen. They should have one hooked up to the umps brain and adjusted to his strike zone, not the dreamperfect strikezone.

[Lefty Specialist]

Attention ESPN announcers: THIS GAME IS NOT ABOUT YOU.
