It doesn't seem like there's any rhyme or reason as to why they pick one outcome or the other, though. And I'm assuming the 37% hit probability Pete had when it was 2-1 was based on his particular success in those counts, but they've not mentioned it, so I don't know if it's that, or league average, or what. I fear that this might be something intended to be folded into instant wagering.

Sudden violent storm hitting us here in Balmer.

By the way ... not that this one would have worked out any other way, but an unintended consequence of the universal DH is going to be more going after the pitcher, knowing that you'll never get him in the batter's box. More retaliatory throwing at innocent batsmen too.

This game has really ground to a halt.

Great to hear Howie actually using the term "Donnybrook."

Holy crap! The Mets got Starling Marte!!

SAFE AT THIRD!!! WE HAVE A MET TAKING THE EXTRA BASE SAFELY!!!!

Well, there's our lead.

Mets may need to get together and talk about their extra-basing strategy.

Canó with the two-run hit! Why the hell were the Nats playing infield in?

Howie one second behind the Apple+ feed.

Nats up 1-0, and Scherzer getting taken to the warning track a couple of times. Dom Smitty still sitty.

Adonis is apparently the National League's hot potato, and will be a Marlin by May and possibly a Brewer by August.

Yeah, "porcupine" might have been my seventh or eighth guess. Thanks for the inside scoop.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders' hat insignia seems to be a celebration of electrocuting ourselves on the third rail. [fimg=500]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0258/8262/4109/files/R_Color.png?height=628&pad_color=ffffff&v=1570741196&width=1200[/fimg]

Aaron Judge is apparently pulling a Conforto — turning down a contract extension and playing out his walk year.

Ueberroth: "The Mets have a lefty firstbaseman with coke issues." Knight: "Hey, Danny! The commissioner says that the Mets have a lefty firstbaseman with coke issues!" Heep: "Well I can assure you that he's not talking about me." Hernandez: "You rat bastard."

In an under-the-radar deal today (which is now yesterday), the Mets acquired righthanded starter Adonis Medina from the Pirates for ca$h con$iderations. Adonis had brief tenures with the Phils each of the last two seasons but was grabbed by the Pirates about two weeks ago when the Phils tried to sneak him through waivers. The Pirates, like many teams at the end of spring training, were in a roster bind, and had designated Adonis for assignment. The Mets instantly assigned Medina to AAA, and while you could see where they might be getting antsy about their starting pitching depth, the deal could prove costly, as they were forced to designate Ben Grimm-fave Yennsy Diaz for assignment.

Burghers also lose their opener to the Cards, 9-0.

Too much plunky business. Damn.

If they were handling pitchers with kid gloves before, we're going to really see managers slow to stretch them this spring.
