IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

The Mets go for the sweep starting at 12:05 PM on Peacock. The Mets have not faced Daniel Castano (LHP) this season while David Peterson pitched 6 shutout innings against MIA and got the win last Monday afternoon. If you're not familiar with Peacock, it has the worst interface of any streaming service. It has some good original programming, including "We Are Lady Parts" and "Girls5Eva". https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-marlins/2022/06/26/661380#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661380

So now is probably the best time to ask our out of town fans: My MLB access to the radio broadcasts is messed up through the MLB app. It keeps wanting to play the previous day's game rather than the live one. I haven't investigated too much since I am also a SIRIUS subscriber, so I can get the radio action from them. But in the car, I only get the home feed (the MIA guys are not great). Is anyone else having this problem? I'll figure it out without giving Peacock any dough, but the MLB app has been like this for several days. Weirdness.

Yah I only have Sirius XM for my non-televised and auto time game consumption, no MLB access here. I am predicting another 5-3 win, cause, why not

Gwreck Jun 26 2022 07:37 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Correcting myself from a different thread: apparently this game is not free, and to see it requires signing up for a Peacock premium subscription. (The Friday Apple TV games are free). This is offensive, MLB. Rob Manfred is bad for baseball.

roger_that Jun 26 2022 08:05 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I think I signed up for Peacock yesterday and I never gave a credit card number or nothing.

kcmets Jun 26 2022 08:15 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Yeah, I was just signing on to report that my free Peacock now costs $4.99/month... cork-smokin' crazy. Nice day for a radio game anyways, so fuck 'em. And fuck MLB and mets.com. Big splash on home screen about the Mets on Peacock and then a ten second pop-up ad. Like it's a good thing.

kcmets Jun 26 2022 08:17 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Oh, and no McNeil again today.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 08:17 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I'd really like a seven-run win today. Braves have been slowed from their torrid pace. They are the same 6-4 over their last 10 as the Mets. And that not only means no ground lost, but also that the hottest team in the league is ... the Mets ... if only nominally. But that's due to two wins that were only one swing from being losses. I'd like something more decisive. Greedy. Two lefties today. Both have put up good numbers but have been kept on very short leashes, with Castano on a shorter leash even than Peterson.

roger_that Jun 26 2022 08:43 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I will report on the results of signing up for free Peacock yesterday and giving no credit card information when the game starts.

Willets Point Jun 26 2022 09:20 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I get Peacock Premium free through Xfinity so it's worth investigating if your cable provider has a similar offer.

roger_that Jun 26 2022 10:05 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

No, NOW the credit card information pops up. Fuck them. The funny thing is I think my cable provider DOES make Peacock available, but I can't find a button to search for that screen.

kcmets Jun 26 2022 10:11 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Yeah, they prompted me to use PayPal which I guess is my 'preferred' Google Play payment choice. This is on a Verizon 'set-top' streaming device, is there anything Alphabet doesn't have their mitts all over nowadays?

kcmets Jun 26 2022 10:29 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jun 26 2022 10:34 AM

And now I just get a ding on my non-Verizon phone asking me to confirm my wish to subscribe to Peacock via PayPal payment. The whole world's gone nuts. I need to go outside, my indoor AM sucks bhmc.

bmfc1 Jun 26 2022 10:30 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

That's how you score a run after a leadoff double. Too bad the Mets couldn't figure it out.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2022 10:52 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Zimmo has a better idea

Willets Point Jun 26 2022 10:54 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Nimmo mastered that card!

Willets Point Jun 26 2022 10:58 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Jazz Chisolm having to comment on the Mets scoring on his team is unintentionally hillarious.

bmfc1 Jun 26 2022 11:01 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I don't give a flying f**k what Jazz Chisholm, Jr. has to say especially when the Mets are up. The camera work is awful, the announcers are interviewing each other. F Manfred for subjecting us to this garbage. OMG, now we're talking about his Grandma.

kcmets Jun 26 2022 11:52 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Radio booth reports they've been told that today's game has broken a record for the most listeners streaming the game. Gee, I wonder why.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:09 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

This isn't trending toward the seven-run victory I ordered.

bmfc1 Jun 26 2022 12:26 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

The first inning, 1st and 2d w/none out, and the 2d inning, 2d w/none out, are big as of now.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:29 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Also big is the weight on Tommy Hunter's perfect shoulders.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:35 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

The Big Hunt still untainted.

Interesting to not pinch run for Davis.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:43 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Davis joining the Company of the Aggressive.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2022 12:44 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Dammit, another key whiff when a different kind out of would have sufficed from scoobie

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2022 12:45 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Big moment for McCann here

seawolf17 Jun 26 2022 12:45 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Man, there is literally nobody on this roster I would want to have up less than McCann in this spot.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:46 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I guess Nick Plummer is the default choice in the pinch-running department. Tempting, but not an automatic. Escobar shoulda escobunted.

They miss Jankowski. The bench today is Nido (slower than slow), Dom (not fast), McNeil (injured), and Plummer (who Gary said isn't fast).

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 12:48 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

McCan't. McCouldn't.

bmfc1 Jun 26 2022 12:49 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Another runner on 2d, no one out, absolutely pathetic.

Willets Point Jun 26 2022 12:49 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

McCan't

Turns out that Davis did all the running they needed except for stealing home.

kcmets Jun 26 2022 12:51 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

1-13 with RISP, not fun

seawolf17 Jun 26 2022 12:51 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I had a feeling McCann wouldn't live up to the contract, but I didn't expect him to make Nido look like Tony Gwynn.

Well that was one they oughta take back.

bmfc1 Jun 26 2022 12:57 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

They deserved to lose this game. I'm pissed that they did but they sucked today. They lost a winnable game against a mediocre team during a pathetic broadcast.

Bob Alpacadaca Jun 26 2022 12:57 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Bummer. That was very winnable. Feel bad for Peterson.

roger_that Jun 26 2022 01:50 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Horrendous. These are the games you look back on at the end of the season when you've finished out of the playoffs and say, "How did we lose to the fucking Marlins?"

Fman99 Jun 26 2022 05:54 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

I blame the Peacock app/channel/network

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2022 05:58 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

He's already becoming chubby, black and lefthanded!

Edgy MD Jun 26 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

His voice is getting kinda squeaky, too.

kcmets Jun 27 2022 08:15 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

As with the Apple games, yesterday's Peacock game is available for replay on MLB.TV. Sure, the game sucked but I'm sure a few here will not be able to resist the temptation. (at least I won't)

roger_that Jun 27 2022 08:19 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Well, I may try it out, if only to look for other instances of Mets distracted as they run out grounders. As I just mentioned in the now-RLed thread about that, I didn't notice any in this series, but I got peacockblocked out of yesterday's game, and they're not playing the Marlins again for a few more weeks.

kcmets Jun 27 2022 09:31 AM Re: IGT 06/26/22 - NYM@MIA

Fun tidbit - Buck Showalter (outfielder and first baseman) and Don Mattingly (first baseman and outfielder) were both on the 1981 Nashville Sounds.
