Tune your sets to Gary Apple TV+.

Tune your sets to Gary Apple TV+.

I don't get that channel. Except of the "fell off the back of a digital truck" variety.

[Frayed Knot]

After canceling my three-month trial of Apple TV+ they gave me opportunities to get another three months free which I (belatedly)
realized I could have used to catch some Friday Night Baseball early in this season. But I'm going to be out of town this whole weekend
anyway so it hardly matters and I wanted to cut ties as soon as possible. So I'll try to catch some via (streaming) radio and hope for
the best.

Cards (11-14 and coming off their first losing season this century) are sucking so far this season on the offensive side (26th in RS/G)
and are only somewhat better on the run preventing end (23rd)
Paul Goldschmidt, in particular, is off to a rough start [.200/.294/.278] (are you effin' kidding me?!?), hot 2nd year OF prospect Jordan
Walker [497 OPS] has been sent down and their best hitter has been C Willson Contreras but he's been limited to mostly DH


Mike Mikolas [rough start] (Fri), Sonny Gray [very good start] (Sat), and Lance Lynn [good] (Sun) are the projected starters.

[The Hot Corner]

Lets Go Mets!! Time to get back to winning series.

No Apple here

I believe one day the majority of games will be on pay per view in all sports

Thinking way back when 120-130 Mets games were on WOR 11and I liked it

I would like to see Gelbs get a bowling for dollars gig

[whippoorwill]

Me too. Couldn’t possibly grow up a Mets fan these days

[Chad ochoseis]

JD Martinez joining the team today. Possible moves to make room for him include shipping DJ Stewart to Syracuse or, more likely, DFAing ZR Short.

I just looked at AppleTV on the streamtv I watch to see if I could re-up
again for a seven-day free trial but it greeted me by name and wants ten
smackers to fire it up. It's a decent channel, and Palm Royale is supposed to
be a pretty good show (I don't read the urine thread so not sure if that's been
covered), but jeez with all the savings we try to do here picking and choosing
this and that -- we're spending more on everything not saving.

[cal sharpie]

After my phone got stolen in Chile I got a new one which gave me 3 months of Apple TV for free which I activated right before the first Mets game there. I'm good til July 4.

A reminder that if you are watching on Apple TV+, the option for team radio as audio exists.

Right that was cool and in perfect sync.

Unforch, I'm thumbing my nose at AppleTV+ this evening and MLB.

If I get to kvetching here around 9:30, everyone pay me no mind...

[Fman99]

Ugh Nido again

[Frayed Knot]

Walk two of the first five hitters and shit's gonna happen.

[ashie62]

Down 4-0

On to other spots programming

[Lefty Specialist]

Butto not pitching terribly, but the Noffense has shown up tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Nido mocks the mocking of him.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, anyone catch the consecutive run of Bader, Baty, Nido, Nimmo.
All we need now is to tack on an Alfozo, Alonso back-to-back and we'd be all set.

[The Hot Corner]

$-2 Cardinals going to the bottom of the 8th.

Top of the order (Nimmo - Marte - Lindor - and hopefully Alonso) due up for the Mets. Time to turn it on guys. Let's Go Mets.

[The Hot Corner]

Well, they did get Pete to the plate, but no really the inning I was hoping to see (read).

[The Hot Corner]

Well, that wasn't good.

Need to get them tomorrow.
