IGT 4/5/2024: NYM@CIN — Skyline Scuffle

Post by G-Fafif » Thu Apr 04, 2024 8:21 pm

The bearers of the Skyline logo prepare to eclipse the home of Skyline Chili. Jose Quintana, who last pitched about a month ago, takes on Hunter Greene (though neither will actually pitch to the other).

6:40 PM on Apple TV+. Stream ’em if you got ’em.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Howie went on at length about his dislike for Skyline Chili.

I’ve had it. It’s like Cincy’s version of White Castle. You know it probably a mistake, but it’s what you do when you have time for one more bad decision before calling it a night.

Man, fuck the Apple TV games. I have a gig anyway but this means it won't be on any of the screens at the brew pub while I'm playing. I was hoping to multi task

I like that my eyes want to read this title as "Skyline Soufflé."

Isn't Cincy the place where they put chili over spaghetti?
That's wrong for a host of reasons.

I've never had Skyline Chili, though I would certainly try it. I can't imagine it's worse than those awful Primanti Brothers sandwiches in Pittsburgh.

Did MLB make the lettering on the backs of players smaller just to accommodate their first baseman?
I smell a conspiracy.

Lindor leading off. Maybe that will help him

Keith was looking forward to this trip. He loves the Skyline Chili

I gave up chili at about age 40

Video kinda sucks, like they're playing in So Korea and I'm watching on a
DSL modem from 20 years ago. Commercials are crystal clear, of course.

I'm not getting the Apple+ broadcast, and so I'm following on WCBS and on GameDay.

GameDay has added this new feature that depicts the field. I wasn't really paying attention much until I saw that the little indicators that point to the defenders would move around as the defenders changed positioingn from pitch to pitch. Then I noticed that a tiny animated baseball would fly with from the mound to the catcher, and then the ballpark sensor data would show me the ball being thrown back by the catcher.

When the ball would be put into play, I could watch the defender's indicator chase it, and the indicator for the batter running the bases. When he makes an out, I get to watch him cut across the infield going back to the dugout.

A lot of energy and technology to show me a representation of the game — while restricting me from seeing the actual game.

A reminder that Apple TV+ allows you to sync directly to the team radiocasts, via an icon on the lower right of your screen.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

I have no such icon, but I"m on a TV with a streaming box and not
on a computer or device so who knows....

It's just one game, but I like to kvetch.

Is that what they're saying?

All I know is that his hammy is hitting .048.
