I don't know who's starting today, or for any of the following five games, but I hope none of them are started by anyone named Steven Matz.

I'm betting that at least one of them will be started by someone named Steven Matz

I know. It will be hard to avoid.

Brodie says Wacha will return tonight, weather and social justice consciousness permitting.

Is Gsellman opening? You know, like for the Stones?

Wacha now listed as tonight's starter.

The Mets owe us a good effort tonight An opportunity for them to give us two or three hours of relief from the shiteshow that is 2020 LGM!

Mets have not posted a lineup and its' about 7pm I can't take much more of this.

This just sucks. No one has warmed up, Gah I'm having a crappy day and was looking forward to watching this one thing. Selfish I know.

I am watching a players protest before cardboard cutouts and the game is cancelled

I hope Wacha didn't warm up.

How does this go down in history? The players took the field. The first batter took his position. Did this game technically start and get discontinued after zero pitches, or did it never occur at all? I guess anything under 4 1/2 innings is considered unofficial anyhow.

I guess you could perhaps argue that when (if) they eventually make up this game, the original lineups have to be in effect. I don't think that's the case though. Doesn't the home plate umpire have to signal the game to begin? Does anyone actually say, "Play ball!"?

During the intro Gary mentioned that the umps weren't yet on the field and there had yet to be an exchange of lineup cards, but then added that this is done electronically these days anyway. Without lineup cards -- and it sounds like it was known by all insiders at least an hour or so in advance that this game wasn't going to be played -- there's certainly no way to commit the teams to a specific lineup when the game gets made up. And even if official cards were submitted, I doubt it happens.
