Tommy Hunter?

[CROSSOUT]Makes sense Edgy couldn't go with the “12 fingers” clue.[/CROSSOUT] Edit: was thinking of Antonio Alfonseca, not Ugueth Urbina. Wrong alliterative reliever…

Books are books but wow

It's not clear to me why Lopez is pitching 2 innings.
-
Having used all the best relievers in Game 1 (and Holderman now too)…I don't love the Mets' odds here so much.

Is a first cousin of Alcides Escobar Kelvim Escobar?

=TransMonk post_id=100032 time=1658015788 user_id=71] I'm up in section 307. It's been a minute since I have been to Wrigley.

Smith threw 11 pitches and the wind is blowing in. I'd have kept him in for the 9th.

Canha as a PR is a curious choice. Why not David Peterson or Trevor Williams? Using good athlete pitchers as PRs is an overlooked inefficiency.
-
This is the inning in which the Mets score runs. Leadoff hit and top of lineup coming up? Let's go.

A lot less - he's already 30 years old. Maybe 6 years, $150-175M.

Passan's tweet is misleading, because it's not about the age; it's about the years of team control. He's not a rookie; he's going to be paid in arbitration for 2 more years (after 2022) and then be a free agent.

=bmfc1 post_id=99908 time=1657924295 user_id=73] I wonder if we'll see Chris Bassitt out of the bullpen this weekend. He last pitched on Wednesday and won't pitch until next weekend.

No. Single-admission doubleheaders are almost never scheduled in advance; they most commonly occur as a result of rainouts. I suppose that unsold seats for a game that suddenly becomes a doubleheader could then be sold for a premium, but it's not as if people who already have tickets are suddenly going to be asked to pay more. By contrast, the problem with 7-inning doubleheaders was that customers had already paid for a 9 inning game, but if that game was rescheduled as a single-admission doubleheader, then were then being robbed of 22% of what they had already paid for. With the reversion to normal rules, a game rescheduled as a separate-admission doubleheader just preserves the status quo.

Why do we assume fans dislike split doubleheaders? If I had tickets to Friday's game and now the Cubs told me, “sorry, your tickets aren't valid anymore, and also good luck getting something else for the doubleheader because we rescheduled this as a split doubleheader onto an already-mostly-sold-out Saturday game”…I'd be pretty pissed. In fact, I might say that rescheduling games with high ticket sales as split doubleheaders is the fan-friendly thing to do.

We're very likely getting a lengthy rain delay if not a doubleheader tomorrow.

Second straight over NYY for Cincy. Not that it really makes a difference but the wins weren't consecutive. Cincinnati lost yesterday in the 10th in part due to the idiotic extra inning rules (Reds pitcher throws two wild pitches, loses without giving up a hit). Reds did win Tuesday, scoring 4 in the 9th to win 4-3.

King Felix.

That McNeil was on parental leave during the series in Atlanta.

=bmfc1 post_id=99542 time=1657721047 user_id=73] Edgy posts the lineups better than I do but we have cleanup hitter Luis Guillorme.
-
Fantastic win.
-
SNY booth talking as if Diaz's availability is a mystery. This seems like an obvious answer. He threw 7 pitches in the 9th yesterday. If you weren't preserving his availability for today, you'd have pitched him in the 10th yesterday.

And it's expensive sure but so is everything here. Agree. And, on the price thing: I still find that Baseball in New York is a tremendously accessible game: lots of variety in tickets, still reasonably accessible, you can bring in whatever food and drink you want (except booze) so you're not captive to whatever's being sold, etc.
