Griffin Canning vs some shit ass

FOX network, as the 'G, K & R take opening weekend off' tour continues.

This must really piss them off

[Gwreck]

At least we got them for opening day. There are two weekends coming up (vs LAD in May, at PHI in June) in which the Friday game is Apple, Saturday Fox, and Sunday ESPN.

They can be replaced by AI.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

They probably enjoy the weekend off

[Edgy MD]

Keith is not somebody who gives the impression of needing to be at work.

Pretty cool how evenly the series has been played. It has just been a difference of who gets the big hit on which day.

Only the second time the Mets have opened the season with an interleague matchup.

So there are three APPLE+ games this year?
Thought the limit was two/team. Next year it'll probably be four.
Year after that there'll be 40

And now I'm wondering how an AI could be programmed to announce a baseball game. Certainly it could be done after the fact, from a team of real life announcers' broadcasts, off which they could build a database of observations, cliches, wisecracks, insights that would eventually allow the AI to create an original broadcast independently.

I hope they wouldn't use old tapes of Joe Buck or Michael Kay or we'd get the AI version of garbage in/ garbage out.

Canning 1

[Lefty Specialist]

I'd like to see Senger get a start in one of those Marlins games. Live the dream, Hayden.

[ashie62]

I read that Spencer Arrighetti has developed a two seamer against righties as his four seamer was torched last season

[ashie62]

Altuve looks stupid playing leftfield. Soto doubles

They’ve only announced the Apple schedule through the end of June but yes, there are 3 Mets games including yesterday. The Dodgers also have 3. Not surprisingly you won’t see the White Sox or Colorado or Sacramento on that schedule.

I’m aware there’s a 5 appearance limit in the Sunday night slot but haven’t heard that about Apple.

As for the future, of course you were exaggerating but if Apple took the ESPN games, that wouldn’t be bad.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Canning is so little the letters on the jersey are bigger than him.

Of course it would be bad. Everyone gets ESPN for free and
Apple charges ~$10.00/month I don't know what's on AppleTV
other than some hijacked $porting event$. Don't wanna know.

If this happened 15 years ago I'd have a stroke. Don't really
care as much anymore.

We now return to our regularly scheduled IGT, ARIP....

[Frayed Knot]

So three Apple+ games in the first half and, assuming they aren't stuck in the mud come July, maybe three to five more in the second half?
Do you suppose the cable companies are going to give us 4-5% discounts on account of the games taken off their slate? Yeah, probably not.


In the meantime, not a lot of hittin' going on thru 2-1/2 games.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Siri

[metirish]

Siri, what's a heads up play ?

[Frayed Knot]

Remember those old anti-drug commercials?: SPEED KILLS!
Many MLB'ers don't go from 1st to 2nd in that situation. More still don't go 2nd to 3rd on a FO to LCF. And fewer still even think about 3rd to home on a come-backer.

[kcmets]

That SIri score was play-of-the-year through 2 2/3 games.

[MFS62]

They still only have one effing hit.
Later

[roger_that]

Definitely the upside of Siri. And I'm sure he'll blast a few HRs, and catch some un-catchable balls.

But he has a ton of real downside that we'll see plenty of, too.

[kcmets]

Marte K on three lookers down the pipe.

Swing the bat big guy!
