ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Ceetar Feb 21 2018 05:09 PM

Zack Wheeler starts as the Braves head on over and get our Spring Training schedule going. SNY/WOR and also Atlanta WIFN. 1:10pm from First Data field.

Chad Ochoseis Feb 21 2018 08:18 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

I'm not getting it on MLB.tv. Not sure if that's because they're not carrying games this early or if they haven't yet autorenewed my subscription. But I can use a live baseball fix, even if it means I'm watching Phil Evans or someone tee off against #74 on the Braves.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 21 2018 08:24 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Is the game today? Or on the 23rd, as the title of this thread suggests?

Chad Ochoseis Feb 21 2018 08:32 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

The 23rd. That would explain why MLB.tv isn't showing it today.

Wow Chad, you are excited to watch a game lol

My big 2018 no SNY experience will be kicking off this week. I'll be streaming via Reddit and using the Chromecast to push the game to one of two different TVs in my house (my 2nd Chromecast arrived today). It's a bunch of extra work but until MLB Extra Innings lifts the blackout rules, or SNY signs on with my provider, I don't have any recourse (I could theoretically subscribe to MLB EI and use a DNS anonymizer to hide my location, and evade the blackout rules, but between the two that'd cost me $200 this year, and the Reddit streams are free).

Lefty Specialist Feb 22 2018 01:56 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Does MLB Extra Innings go by your IP address when you sign up or the IP address when you connect, for the blackout rule? And is it available overseas or US only? Going to be doing some traveling this year and thinking about signing up. oe: Duh. I'm actually asking about MLB.TV, not Extra Innings.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 22 2018 02:08 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

I think MLB.tv is available in every country except Japan, if I remember correctly. I've been meaning to test it when I'm traveling, but I've never remembered to do so. I was in the UK last summer, and I think I could have watched the Mets on the phone app, but with the time difference and the busyness of traveling, I never got to try it. Since I live in the Philadelphia market, I can't see Phillies games on the app. I was in Boston two summers ago, and meant to try seeing if I could, while there, watch the Phillies and not the Red Sox, but again, I forgot to give it a try. I expect, though, that that's what would have happened.

Another alternative would be bribing someone that DOES and us their login for the NBC app.

Going to be doing some traveling this year and thinking about signing up. oe: Duh. I'm actually asking about MLB.TV, not Extra Innings. It's based on where you connect which means that, ironically enough, I miss Mets games when I go back to the NYC area. I think I was able to see games when I was traveling in England and Iceland, but my memory's not clear on that.

Lefty Specialist Feb 22 2018 06:16 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Thanks. I'll be in Missouri a lot as well as Europe for a bit. Don't mind if I miss Cardinals and Royals games. Didn't know you could connect from Europe with no blackouts. That's kind of cool.

goodbye lunch is gonna have me missing the start. sad.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 04:42 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Wheelie is expectorated to be followed by some combination of Hansel Robles, Chris Flexen, Paul Sewald, Corey Oswalt, Jacob Rhame, Tyler Bashlor, Jamie Callahan, and/or Drew Smith.

Ceetar Feb 23 2018 04:52 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

game should be streamable if you were curious about such things.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 23 2018 05:19 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Dom Smith out of the lineup for arriving late. #SeeYouInSeptemberMaybe

Benjamin Grimm Feb 23 2018 05:24 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Jeez. Well, Mickey gets to start his managing career by sending a message. He is all about "accountability". I hope Dom wasn't late because he stopped at a pizzeria.

I have heard plenty of other young players talk in interviews before, but I have never heard anyone sound quite as man childish as Smith.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 23 2018 06:08 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

He may have a bit of a speech impediment. I don't think that the words he says sound childish. Hopefully this one lateness is an aberration, and one with a good explanation. It's obvious that he worked hard this offseason.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 06:35 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Todd Frazier breaks the seal on the hit column for the 2018 Met Campers. Mets, I am told, elected to wear the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School hats for the game. All of MLB (or at least all of the Florida teams) were supposedly wearing them for exercises today, but the Mets elected to wear them in the game, and I presume most other teams too. I like these gestures, but I think they have far more impact when the different organizations act on their own.

d'Kong76 Feb 23 2018 06:38 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

TV booth is music to my ears, I'm such a Mets mush sometimes...

Good on Callaway for showing who's boss. Dom, they're not going to hand it to you and Alonso's breathing down your neck. Focus.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 07:10 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Hansel Rubble puts up an equal line to Wheeler. One inning, one hit, and two strikeouts. Looks like it's going to be another whiffy year.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 07:35 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Chris Flexie coughs up the unearned run with erratic help from den Dekker.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 07:57 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Mets held scoreless through six, and here come the reserves. Minor league camp floater Patrick Biondi takes over for Nimmo in center, David Thompson takes over for Frazier at third, Phillip Evans enjoys the benefits of arriving on time and takes over at first, and José Lóbaton straps on the catcher gear and makes his Mets debut. Moreover, Gavin Cecchini displaces José Reyes at second, Luis Guillorme steps in for Amed Rosario at short, Zach Borenstein moves into Kazmarski's rightfield business and den Dekker is booted aside in left in favor of Ty Kelly. Go, Team Israel!

Fman99 Feb 23 2018 07:59 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Even with Reddit streams, I won't get SNY evening replays of afternoon games. Which kind of sucks a butt.

Chad Ochoseis Feb 23 2018 08:25 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Mazel tov! 2-run double for Borenstein.

Thompson singles home Borenstein and the Mets are in the catbird seat!

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 08:37 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Bags juiced, two out, and Patrick Metzeika on to pinch-hit for Lóbaton.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 08:38 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

And he gets the RBI walk! Atlanta calling Akeel Morris out of the bullpen! Braves are so desperate that they know the only way to stop the Mets is with more Mets!

Chad Ochoseis Feb 23 2018 08:40 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Akeel Morris, picking up where he left off with the Mets.

Chad Ochoseis Feb 23 2018 08:43 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

My MLB sound feed is way out of sync with my video feed. So I hear the crack of a bat, then see the beginning of the pitch.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2018 08:44 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Cecchini: walks in a run. Guillorme: walks in a run. So much action! And Berenstain is back at the plate!

d'Kong76 Feb 23 2018 08:52 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Books! Pennant Fever!

Lefty Specialist Feb 23 2018 08:57 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

So basically, when I watch it on the DVR all I need to watch is the bottom of the 8th. Kewl. And how baseball-starved do I have to be to DVR a February spring training game? Very.

MFS62 Feb 23 2018 09:02 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

Had 'em all the way. David Thompson, the RBI machine. Later

Benjamin Grimm Feb 23 2018 09:02 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

I wonder how many confused fans think that the Mets are wearing San Diego Padres caps?

Sadly, if I sign in to the NBC App it checks against Verizon and verifies that I am an Internet only customer, and not a cable customer, and denies me any additional coverage based on that.

Edgy MD Feb 24 2018 01:31 PM Re: ST IGT Braves @ Mets 2/23

PotG candidates: Zach Borenstein: 1-2 with the big two-run double to tie the game in the eighth. Luis Guillorme: 1-1 with an RBI walk Corey Oswalt: 2 innings pitched, 1 hit, 4 strikeouts, including the last three in a row, whiffing the side in the seventh. I'm voting for Oswalt. Yeah, those three Braves were named Xavier Avery, Alex Jackson, and Ray-Patrick Didder, but your job is to take care of the guys they send against you and he cut them down good, and then the Mets turned rallied in the eighth.
