Nats up 1-0, and Scherzer getting taken to the warning track a couple of times. Dom Smitty still sitty.

We're very good so far this year at getting thrown out on the basepaths.

TransMonk Apr 08 2022 06:01 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

McNeil makes a pretty good #1.

Lefty Specialist Apr 08 2022 06:03 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

Gave up and switched to the radio. Now they seem to be almost 3 pitches ahead of the TV.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 08 2022 06:13 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

I like the hit/strike-out/reach base probability percentages that Apple TV puts in the corner. It's kind of fun and not obtrusive. It doesn't seem like there's any rhyme or reason as to why they pick one outcome or the other, though. And I'm assuming the 37% hit probability Pete had when it was 2-1 was based on his particular success in those counts, but they've not mentioned it, so I don't know if it's that, or league average, or what. One of the Nats guys was coming up and they listed his walk-up song and tied it in with Apple Music and Shazam. If you're gonna give us an ad for an apple product, they should do that for every batter.

I have to say that I like these announcers better than your typical ESPN or Fox Sports crews. No know-it-all nerds, no dumb jocks, just some people who seem to enjoy watching baseball.

Canó with the two-run hit! Why the hell were the Nats playing infield in?

Willets Point Apr 08 2022 06:24 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

So far today Cano can, but Canha cannot.

On second thought, neither Canha nor Cano can beat the tag.

Worse that the gunned out dudes have been big, lumbering Pete and 39-year old Cano.

Frayed Knot Apr 08 2022 06:34 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

This one was the first questionable send of the four so far. And even then you could make the case that it was two outs.

Willets Point Apr 08 2022 06:35 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

This game has really ground to a halt.

Edgy MD Apr 08 2022 07:20 PM Re: Emergency IGT: NYM@WAS, Game Two, 4/8/22

By the way ... not that this one would have worked out any other way, but an unintended consequence of the universal DH is going to be more going after the pitcher, knowing that you'll never get him in the batter's box. More retaliatory throwing at innocent batsmen too.

In addition to outcome probabilities, they've also put the odds for each team to win multiple times. There was no sponsorship with Draft Kings or whatever so I'm waiting for Apple to announce their new baseball betting ring

I feel like, since that hit-by-pitch, this game has proceeded at about half speed.
