ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

kcmets Feb 20 2020 02:51 PM

The Mets have split-squad games Saturday; one vs. the Cardinals and the other vs. Fishsticks. The home opener is on WPIX at 1pm, set the DVR.

MFS62 Feb 20 2020 05:46 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

To me, Spring has always meant seeing the box score of the first Spring Training game. This year, there will be the joy of seeing two of them on the same day. Can't wait. Later

Very helpful. I updated to include away team broadcasts for those of us with the apps that may want to tune in. the app lists split Mets broadcasts for the ss games, TV on the road, radio at home. dunno if that's accurate, but is true to past years. http://www.ceetar.com/optimisticmetsfan/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2020spring.jpg>

Frayed Knot Feb 23 2020 03:11 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

And speaking of athletic guys, the one who started in RF today -- Ryan Cordell, in camp as an NRI following two partial seasons (254 ABs in total) w/the ChiSox -- looks like he's a piece of raw material. With minor lg numbers that are decent but not great [.273/.334/.458 in 2K ABs] and not exactly a high pedigree guy [11th round pick out of Liberty U by Texas in 2013] he's unlikely to have a ceiling as much more than a bench player. But he had a nice RBI-single AB today (the only one I saw anyway) and threw out a wanderer at 1st from RF. He's a 6' 4"/195 OF'er w/some CF under his belt who can run a bit [90 SB in 115 minor lg attempts] and turns 28 next month which means, if he's ever going to get a shot, this would be the time to do it. And right after I was thinking how good he was looking in this brief intro, Gary piped up with the tidbit that there's been talk within the org about how he's the type of player who could play his way onto the team with a good spring in this era of 26 man rosters.

As heard on WFAN: Whether he is ready or not, he will say that he is because of a $5 million bonus payment if he is on the opening day roster. They went on to say that if he says he is ready and the Mets keep him off the fans will say "The Wilpons are trying to save money again". Of course, the ones who said it were the new team of "Moose and Maggie" and Mark Malusis has yet to say anything complimentary about the Mets, back to the days when I saw him on SNY. Later

(amirite folks?) DVR alert: ESPN is taking some time away from NFL draft talk this week (hey, it's only seven weeks away and those fake lists aren't going to create themselves) to show a string of MLB exhibition over the last/next few days. Today the Mets & Cards are featured (1 PM EST) and what the four-letter network has been doing with these games is mic-ing up selected players for in-game comments. But we're not just talking about dugout yapping, they're eavesdropping on in-AB chatter ('I think I going to get a fastball here') going out live as the game is happening. This, depending on your P.O.V., is either a great innovation which should immediately be used in all games going forward so as to 'liven-up' the tired old game of baseball, or it's a ridiculous intrusion and a coming sign of the apocalypse.

Edgy MD Mar 04 2020 06:27 AM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

It's also kind of paradoxical considering the shame and stigma on the whole league because a champion tried to use electronic communications to gain an edge.

I'm sure that's what gave them the idea. Capitalize on the buzz. ESPN is a network about athletes, not sport, after all. I'm generally pro that I think, though not by ESPN who will focus the whole broadcast around it and miss fly balls to left field and runners tagging up to talk about it. Personally I'd also like access to pick my camera feed. I want to decode the signs too

I too was just going to say how much fun it is listening to all this stuff. It's clearly something for exhibition games only, but it's well done and interesting. For some reason I was expecting the Cards broadcast and some mics slapped on all sloppy but they put some thought into it for a change.

Yeah. This is fine for a change of pace but it's not something I'd like to see on an everyday basis and I don't think it would be nearly as entertaining after a few runs.

That said, I could see ESPN pushing to do this for their Sunday Night games. As I've said several times in the past, ESPN doesn't think you tune in to watch a baseball

game, they think you tune in to watch ESPN so I can see them trumpeting this as the big selling point.

Pete dropped at least one F-bomb that I heard, so, apparently, they just weren't that quick with the dump button. The best part was Dom Smith saying in his last miked at bat that the pitcher had not yet this spring thrown him a first pitch fastball. And so he did, and Dom was sitting on it and just missed an opposite field home run.

Three shutout innings from that Porcello fellow look good until Tyler "The Burly" Bashlor gets lit up for six runs in the the fifth without retiring three batters. We go to the ninth locked at seven. Mets mainstays Jarrett "Bird" Parker, Patrick Mazeika, and Johneshwy "Huggy Bear" Fargas have all gone deep.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2020 02:18 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

And the Cards get the winning run to second, but Stephen Gonsalves strikes out his man, and it looks like the Mets and Cards are going to call it an afternoon. Gonso having himself a tight spring.

https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/transaction-card-3-6-2020.gif> Based on information to be gleaned from this first round of cuts, the current starter depth chart among those in camp looks something like this: [list=1] [*]Jacob deGrom, L/R [*]Marcus Stroman, R/R [*]Noah Syndergaard, L/R [*]Rick Porcello, R/R [*]Steven Matz, R/L [*]Michael Wacha, R/R [*]Corey Oswalt, R/R [*]David Peterson, L/L [*]Erasmo Ramirez, R/R [*]Walker Lockett, R/R [*]Pedro Payano, R/R [*]Rob Whalen, R/R [*]Kevin Smith, L/L [/list] Smith currently has the most helium, though. He even looks like a lefthanded Jacob deGrom, the very idea of which makes me have go change my pants.

I think Szapucki (who I adopted on the old format page and I guess I should re-adopt here) will be in the majors later this year or early next year. Later

Johnny Lunchbucket Mar 09 2020 08:38 AM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

I skimmed a DVRed version of yesterday's game (most at double speed with no sound). Ryder Ryan, who now hold major hopes of continuing the Tim Bogar Trade Chain, looked good: 94 mph fb, 83 mph curve, short delivery. Also got my first look at Mauricio. He's like a baby tiger, you can see by his frame he's going to mature into something big and ferocious. Hit an opposite field single. Gary Apple is terrible at pbp, always saying something we don't need to be told (like "first pitch swinging!" every time) and then falling behind the action from there. I though Diaz was supposed to pitch? maybe I scanned right thru him.

Yeah, Apple & Zeile are definitely not Gary and Keith/Ron. The B squad, to be certain.

kcmets Mar 09 2020 12:02 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

I like Zeile enough in small doses, agree Apple seems out of his element.

MFS62 Mar 09 2020 07:19 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

Heard tonight (WFAN?) that Conforto "tweaked his side" catching a fly ball, had an MRI and is headed for "additional tests". Has anyone heard if that is an old fashioned "Get a massage and hit the hot tub, you'll be fine" kind of tweak, or is it a Jed Lowrie kind of tweak? Later

A series of back of the order hits has the Mets up 4-0 on the Domers.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Clint Frazier has... um... not been getting universal Twitter love for his on-field maskiness.

LWFS Jul 18 2020 06:03 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

Umps wearing plastic face shields instead of facemasks... which seems to be more of an impediment-- fogging?-- than any muffling from cloth, no?

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 18 2020 06:13 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

Porcello reminds us all to wear face coverings... Over our eyes

LWFS Jul 18 2020 06:17 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

The hobbled, dark-skinned Amish dude formerly known as Robby Cano beats out a surefire double play with barn-raising hustle. I don't think I've EVER seen Cano run like that. Even young, base-steal-y Cano.

They need to work in a crowd sound reacting to a home team batter crossing up a shift. I do like that for the first time in Subway Series history we hear no positive reaction to the MFYs at Citi Field.

bmfc1 Jul 18 2020 06:56 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

The superimposed logo on the pitcher's mound is very distracting as was Keith yawning.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 18 2020 07:00 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

I'm blacked out of the SNY broadcast so I'm watching on ESPN. Are Gary, Keith and/or Ron in the ballpark or are they remote? The ESPN guys are remote.

bmfc1 Jul 18 2020 07:02 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

They're there. Keith and Ron are in one booth while Gary is in another. Gelbs is in the stands.

Lefty Specialist Jul 18 2020 07:08 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

It's weird. There is a constant low crowd noise sound that turns to cheers when something good happens. Porcello was- eh. And there's a Melky Cabrera sighting.

Fman99 Jul 18 2020 07:39 PM Re: ST-IGT's - The Whole Shabang in One Thread!?!

Gary, Keith and Ron will call tomorrow's game at YSIII from Citi Field, watching it on TV. Which is kind of fucktarded. At least it's on TV.

When that ERA hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Zamora.

Mineuetia - when was the last time a pitcher getting changed out doesn't hand the ball to his manager, carriries it off the field, and it's not a big deal?

Just looking at how that game was played, there's no way baseball's going to complete this season. Yankee players were high-fiving. Virtually no one was wearing masks or social distancing. I don't see how they're getting through this season without multiple outbreaks, especially with two teams in Florida and two in Texas. Hope I' m wrong, but......

Hope I' m wrong, but...... I think that if just three or four players on the same team test positive at the same time, the whole team's gonna have to be shut down. The incubation period for covid-19 could be as long as two weeks, so who knows how many other teammates are infected in addition to the three or four medically confirmed cases? California, with five teams, is not so hot either. That's three of the four most populous states. And Arizona's got a team. That's another covid disaster zone.

I'd be more worried if the pitchers were named Jacob deGrom or Steven Matz or Marcus Stroman. I'm less concerned if "Chasen Shreve" gets knocked around.
