IGT - 04/09/2023 - Marling at Mets

Time to stretch!

Nine outs to plate 5+ runs, no biggie...

This is one of those games the '22 Mets sacked up and won. But the Magic ain't back.

So with Escobar now batting lefty because of the Miami pitching change, I'm shocked that he wasnt required to switch to a jersey with the Presbyterian patch on the right sleeve.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Hey. Look. You could see the Mets skyline patch with Escobar having switched batting sides. A rarity!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Cherish the moment.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Used to be the uniforms hadda be uniform. You couldnt have the same patch on different sleeves for different players. But you could get people to do anything, anything, for money.

Is Gary Cohen trying to be annoying this year

Seemed annoyed with Keith right there

He was definitely annoyed that Keith so easily went to the line about how increased inter-league play is something "the fans want these days".
Gary immediately shot back with words to the effect of: "Which fans? What percentage? How many?" and, in doing so, got Keith to retract his
statement and admit that it's really just MLB claiming this is true and we're supposed to take their word for it that there's some kind of proof
backing this up and not just a continuation of Party line pr going back to Bud Selig's oft-repeated mantra that inter-league play was a "gift to
the fans". Gary then went on to frame it as merely the next step in the plan to dismantle the leagues in favor of regional realignment.

Baseball's been doing this since the Bud Selig era. "We took a poll and this is what the fans wanted...." And it was usually such an utter and obvious horseshit fabricated pretext.

We took a poll and the fans wanted NY Presbyterian patches bigger than your head. But not so red.

A man who owns half of the universe's money supply and still, you can get him to ruin the Mets uniforms for some money.

He's the one I'd drop when Verlander is healthy.
