IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Edgy MD Apr 24 2017 04:17 AM

Bobby Gsellman defends against Julie Teheran as the Mets host the Braves. Will there be healing? Who knows who will be in better shape since Sunday night? Who knows who will be hurt in the interim? Who knows what transactions will take place between now and then? Baseball. I can't say it'll all feel better by Tuesday. In fact, it likely won't. But maybe it'll be warmer by then. Maybe.

Gonna rain tomorrow. A lot.

Edgy MD Apr 24 2017 01:26 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Rain. Not good for making sore joints feel better.

Rain expected. Day off may help the wounded.

I would think that the Mets would welcome a rainout. The Braves don't return until September 25.

Which means they'll either try to make it up on Wednesday (Braves aren't going to want to play two on a get-away day - they head to Milwaukee for a Friday game) or find a mutual off-day sometime this summer. But neither side (or the league for that matter) is going to want to put off a makeup until the final week of the season. Come to think of it, neither team is going to want to play a Wednesday DH followed by a day-game Thursday either. But, hey, the weather forecast is only showing temps in the 50s with Rain & Wind starting around noon today and going straight through to Wednesday morning ... so I think there may be a window!!

Of course I have tixx tonight.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2017 03:27 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Heavy rain predicted and even if it's light rain, they won't risk Cespedes on a wet field.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2017 03:39 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Might as well back-date him on the 10-day DL at this point, then, right?

Yanx at Fenway already called off. Don't have high hopes for this one.

Travis is back.

TransMonk Apr 25 2017 09:30 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Yo, too. Yeah, I'd be surprised if they got this one in.

d'Kong76 Apr 25 2017 09:59 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Huge rain forecast up here has been a bust so far.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2017 10:12 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Game off! Make up sked as a 4:00 DH in that final series in September 25th (shows ya what I know!!) Syndergaard and Harvey to stay in their sked Wed & Thurs slots, so Gsellman gets skipped this turn.

It's probably for the best. I think they can benefit from two consecutive days off. Rescheduling for late September seems an odd choice. It may be a game that doesn't matter; the Mets may be either in or out of the postseason by then, but if it's a frenetic race for a playoff berth, that doubleheader may put them at a bit of a disadvantage. At least it will be after rosters expand, and they'll have a 28-man bullpen.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2017 11:32 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Noah, you go tomorrow. Gselly, get the to the bullpen. Gilly, head down to Vegas and send me back some Reynolds.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2017 11:38 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Vegas and Columbia already lost. St. Lucie losing. Binghamton is the organization's only hope.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 26 2017 12:25 AM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

We may try to get to this one instead. I hate rainouts. I sat in my cube for 2 hours anxious about a postponement even though I knew that the way things were going now it would be "good." I was reminded of the feeling to tuning into a Mets game on TV as a kid, getting all psyched at the "Meet the Mets" show opening, running around the den sliding hitting and pitching, then the live broadcast begins only to show a wide shot of Three Rivers Stadium with a tarp over the field and Bob, Lindsay and Ralph informing us the conditions didn't look good.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2017 12:38 AM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

And then they'd cut to the Million Dollar Movie!

d'Kong76 Apr 26 2017 12:45 AM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

Kinda jonesin', I know they suck and all but I haven't watched a full game of suck since Friday night.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 26 2017 12:46 AM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

From my perspective as a kid the 4:30 Movie > Million Dollar Movie I don;t know if that was actually true tho

At least it will be after rosters expand, and they'll have a 28-man bullpen. Weird situation with a division opponent having their three road trips in April, April, and then not again until the final week of the season. Can't really schedule a DH for Wednesday with Thurs being a day game. Don't want to double up on Thursday because it's a get-away day for Atlanta. So that leaves giving up a day off (assuming they could find a mutual one) or waiting until late September and, if I were a player, I'd probably be pretty protective of my off-days too. I was wondering if anyone considered using ASG Thursday as a kind of universal make-up day? But I figure that the union wanted that four-day break rather than three so the players probably consider that to be off-limits. Starting next year the season is going to be three days longer -- same number of games but 'spread out' across 185 days instead of 182 -- so perhaps rescheduling on a mutual off day gets easier.

Great that it's Molina.

Centerfield Apr 26 2017 01:50 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

I can't believe he didn't break his neck. And I love how Molina, even with the mask on, looks scared throughout the play.

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2017 01:52 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

I also like that the umps didn't buy Molina's post-play argument of; "But I tagged him with one of my neck tattoos as he went by!!"

Edgy MD Apr 26 2017 02:13 PM Re: IGT 4/25: ATL @ NYM

I stumbled upon two separate guys on FB declaring, "He touched him so he's OUT!" How could sentient adults really not understand the basics of what constitutes tagging? More than making up for it was the guy who said, "Coghlan had to jump because he was afraid of getting stuck to Molina's chest protector."
