IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Fman99 Apr 02 2018 06:41 PM

I suppose since I have not started an IGT that led to a loss, that I will start tomorrow's thread today. Hopefully the forecast improves.

G-Fafif Apr 02 2018 06:52 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Harvey still the scheduled starter Tuesday, but Syndergaard moves up to Wednesday and deGrom gets the Gnats on Thursday. No Lugo for now. Weather permitting, of course.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 02 2018 06:54 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

I approve.

G-Fafif Apr 02 2018 06:55 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

To clarify, Noah and Jake are where they were all along. It's really just a matter of Lugo getting bumped.

Frayed Knot Apr 02 2018 07:04 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Rain most of the day Tuesday, high of 45 Warmer but just as wet on Wednesday. Good thing this series comes against a division opponent with plenty of make-up chances.

cooby Apr 03 2018 04:14 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

I was hoping to watch the game tonight but it looks like the Phillies station has the Flyers on. Sigh. Plus it's raining cats and dogs, at least here

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2018 04:16 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

This game is actually not going to be televised at all by the Phillies. They have two stations that their games appear on, and one will be showing the Sixers and the other will be showing the Flyers. If I want to watch the show (since the game is blacked on on MLB for me) I have to stream it from the local station's website.

Ah, you are in the same boat. One of these days I'm going to find our Sirius password so I can listen on my laptop.

Lefty Specialist Apr 03 2018 04:47 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

With the snow we had yesterday added to the feline and canines coming down today, I'd be really surprised if the field was playable this evening.

G-Fafif Apr 03 2018 07:17 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

A start for Jose, and the pitcher bats ninth. Nimmo CF Cabrera 2B Céspedes LF Bruce RF Frazier 3B González 1B d’Arnaud C Reyes SS Harvey RHP

A Boy Named Seo Apr 03 2018 08:03 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

So the pitcher batting 8th is a thing for Rosario then? If you like it for him, you might as well like it for Reyes, too.

It sure looks wet and cold in the Bronx and that game should be ending right around the time ours is beginning. On the other hand, CitiField is likely to be warmer on account of it being further south. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. P.S. If you bring back a ball heading over the fence right around the 314 ft sign (as Tampa's Carlos Gomez just did to MFY Tyler Wade) should the fielder still get credit for a robbed HR? I was thinking that maybe it should count for only a stolen double or something, y'know, kinda like the too-small fish that you're required to throw back.

Look at this clean-shaven baby-face the Mets have pitching.

Edgy MD Apr 03 2018 11:15 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Ten pitches in the first, 1-2-3, topping out at 93. Let's work with that.

Is it about Reyes/Rosario, or is it about DeGrom and Syndergaard being good hitters? Harvelous hit over .300 his first full season, if I'm remembering right, but his hitting fell off the table even before his pitching did.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2018 11:41 PM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Mickey has said that it would not be influenced by the hitting ability of his pitchers.

So I need the app? I may have to turn my back on baseball if they add any more hoops to my experience. MLBtv says every team, every game and that I'm only blacked out for Phils games, but I always used to get them thru Comcast. So if I can't get them thru Comcast, as in tonight (basketball & hockey, ha), I see no reason for the blackout. MLBtv says the Phils feed is CSP. Used to be CSN, Comcast Sports Net. Any idea what CSP is? Matts looking pretty good :)

I've been told Harvey's velocity was down and in this weather, I guess that was a good call. Lemme put it this way: No one else is bitching about it so I'll shut up.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2018 12:42 AM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

86 pitches. I figured he'd get the sixth inning, but Mickey probably wants Harvey leaving on a positive note.

We really should try to get one more out of Lugo, at least, considering he was skipped.

On the flip side of pitcher usage tonight, AJ Cole for the Nationals in Atlanta, after being spotted a 3-0 lead, coughed up 4 in the 1st, 4 more in the 2nd, and 1 each in the 3rd & 4th (Braves still batting in the 4th). As I type he's given up 10 ER on 10 hits plus 3 BBs (4 K) ... and now has just been pulled from the game w/2 outs in the 4th. Talk about your slow hooks!

Fman99 Apr 04 2018 01:48 AM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Christ, Familia with the walk right out of the box. Also, apparently, the MLB.tv feed doesn't get you any of the "live looks" into other games. They kick it over to SNY and then you get 15 seconds of dead air. Quite weird.

Fman99 Apr 04 2018 01:50 AM Re: IGT Tues Apr 3 Phillies at Mets

Like the last time, he's got good action on his breaking balls, and he has NO CLUE where his fastball is headed.
