The battle for New York begins in South Florida, as the Gulf Coast-loving Yankees take a ride across the state to the Sargasso side of the peninsula. It's a pitched battle as guys with agentive nouns for first names lock horns, with lefthander Tanner Tully toeing the bump for the invading enemy, while Tylor Megill — fighting to catch on at the back off the Flushing rotation — defends for the Mets. The Mets remain deliberate about when to reveal Jeff McNeil to the world, but Harrison Bader is diabolically being revealed for the first time as a Met against his former teammates. If you haven't been paying attention so far, today might be a good day to start, as the Mets are fielding something that looks pretty close to an Opening Day lineup. Drink, I'm told, will flow. Blood, according to independent accounts, will spill.

That agentive noun thing can't be a coincidence.

You'd be a fool to think otherwise.

They've finally decided to put Jeter at third, where he belongs. Oh, wait. Never mind. Later

"Jeter Downs" sounds like a race track.

I'm getting this on mlb.tv. They just reported that Edwin Diaz threw an inning in a minor-league game.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 11:22 AM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

A leadoff four-pitch walk by Megill is followed by two strikeouts. Volpe stole second at this point and went to third on what was scored a throwing error by Álvarez, but it was really a fielding error as Francisco Lindor (I think) got the ball knocked out of his glove. No damage as a groundout to second ended the inning.

I was not aware that Harrison is a Member of the Tribe.

ashie62 Mar 05 2024 11:55 AM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

He sounded wise in assessing his opportunity in coming to the Mets

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 12:00 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

An opposite-field double by Nimmo and the Mets are threatening with second and third and no out.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 12:45 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Sweet that the Yankees had gotten three runs back but then decided to run themselves out of the inning.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 01:07 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Good to see the booth talk about "effective spin rate" being a key to getting batters to miss without having the velocity, a half inning after Sean Reid-Foley struck out the side. On the other hand, this isn't a game broadcast, so much as an interview show.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 01:18 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Everybody the booth talks with seemingly decides to suck up to David Cone.

bmfc1 Mar 05 2024 01:19 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Maybe it's just me but even if I had scripted questions for Boone when he stopped to take out his pitcher I would have asked him "why now?" and "do you handle pitching changes differently in ST?"

Frayed Knot Mar 05 2024 01:23 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

But at least they're asking Cashman about college basketball. I wonder which network is going to be covering the shit out of that sport over the coming weeks?

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 01:25 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Mets have already whiffed 12 Yankees through seven.

MFS62 Mar 05 2024 01:55 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

The Yahoo box score shows an MFY error by someone named "H. Cohen", but there is nobody with that name anywhere else in the box score. There is a blank line for the name of their third pitcher of the day. It that who made the error? Later

Benjamin Grimm Mar 05 2024 02:02 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

Maybe the error was made by whoever put together the box score. Since it's a spring training game, I wouldn't be surprised if someone put that in as a joke. Maybe H. Cohen is someone's mishap-prone friend.

Edgy MD Mar 05 2024 03:38 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

The Yankees' third pitcher was Harrison Cohen, who came on for Yerry De Los Santos and allowed his two inherited runners to score. Cohen isn't on the roster and isn't officially in camp, having only thrown 3 1/3 innings above High-A, but with the team scheduled cross-state travel, was one of the minor leaguers who got floated up to be with the team for a day. Non-baseball-dedicated outlets often get flummoxed in Spring Training when such an animal appears in a game. I think he got the error in failing to catch the ball while covering home on the play when the Mets scored two on a passed ball.

MFS62 Mar 05 2024 03:47 PM Re: xIGT: 2024-03-05, NYY@NYM

I figured Harrison might be the missing pitcher. Thanks. I looked him up and saw that he's from New Hyde Park, NY and attended George Washington University. So did I. He had a better ERA in his one year in the minors than he had at GWU. Later
