I like him to repeat his 2022 numbers because that'd be helpful

Eyeballing the Aug 16 matinee vs Pittsburgh as my annual weekday sojourn with Fboy to the Citi

The general nature of these pre-game, interview-heavy broadcasts is terrible. Forget the fact that athletes aren't the most articulate bunch, and that they throw a lot of platitudes out there, but it makes it impossible to multitask and follow the game. I know the games don't count, but I still need to be able to get things done during the broadcast. And you can't passively watch the game and try to get by on listening to the play by play when the announcers are skipping all of the in-game action to talk to players and coaches and retired players. It stinks.

Got through eight innings of yesterday's game on the DVR. Not a ton to get excited about just yet.

It does seem to pick up the game pace. ESPN features the clock prominently on the display, which is crud. I don't need to see it like it's the NCAA shot clock. But more weeknight games ending in the 9:30-9:40 range are OK by me.

He probably had wet hands from touching his own slimy disgusting ears.

Watching the ESPN broadcast of today's game and the ever-lasting gushfest that is their St. Louis Cardinals coverage model. Excuse me while I drink my own wet shit.

=kcmets post_id=118932 time=1677513611 user_id=53] For those that DVR such things, tomorrow's game against the Astros is on ESPN at 1:00 PM sharp.

Brett Baty is going to be so good in 2023 that this becomes a moot point, I predict, from the Metly perspective.

Missed both of these in real time as I had a gig last night and spent this afternoon tubing down a snowy mountain, so I watched big chunks of both games this evening. The dulcet tones of GKR are a welcome harbinger of warmer times

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=118328 time=1676468786 user_id=68] It's always about the money. Just follow the money. It's probably incredibly inefficient to the owners for games to go into prolonged extra innings. Overtime and extra pay for the stadium workers. They hafta deal with local liquor laws that might prevent the sale of booze by a certain time. Fans are buying way less goods anyways because they're running out of money by then or have exceeded their spending budgets for the game. And even if they can still spend more, how many fucking hot dogs can a fan eat? Just because the game's continuing, doesn't mean a fan's hunger isn't sated by then. Or they're not even there because they've left the stadium and gone home because they hafta wake up early the next day for work and/or school. Owners have probably been griping internally to themselves about extra inning games forever. It's all about the money. Owners could give a flying fuck about the purity of the game.

I feel like they're 97-65 material

It'll be curious to see how many teams cheat that outfielder in from the other side to go where the third infielder on the wrong side of the base was formerly.

I think Rangers fans are about to get a sneak peek at the next five years of their life. And if it's some other team's fan base's problem and not ours, that's A-O-Fuckin-K by me.

Zach Wheeler is close - he's at 195 games started and also has just four complete games. One in 2014 as a Met and the other 3 all in 2021.

LIVE FROM STOCKHOLM! 2022 TABLOID COVER DERBY!

I'd like to doink supermodels and get shitcocked with the Rat Pack ghosts. Whom do I bill these travel expenses to exactly? -
Fuck that committee then. What a big bag of hot wet shit this rule is

Good deal on the Mex re-sign. I really didn't want to listen to 100+ games worth of Todd Zeile.
-
I'd say given his injury history, and the current nature of pitch count monitoring, that the number is a bit lower than expected, but not as much lower as maybe I would have thought. For the record, he's had 209 career appearances in the majors, all starts.
