IGT 05/27/24 -- LAD @ NYM -- Because it's also on the schedule

Post by bmfc1 » Sun May 26, 2024 4:15 pm

Best wishes to everyone on Memorial Day. A recent column in The Washington Post argues that Memorial Day should be moved to July 3rd:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... -overhaul/

When you think "Mets and Dodgers" you think "Tylor Megill and Gavin Stone". That's the matchup. The Dodgers are cold. The Mets are not having won their last game and that's what counts. Stone only lasted 3 1/3 against the Mets on April 20th, giving up 2 ER while walking 5 (the Mets won 6-4).

If you count last names, Pud Galvin won over 300 games and is in the HOF.

Pud Galvin is a legend.

But alas, he's a Galvin, not a Gavin.

If the game is cancelled then Rain will get 27 outs more successfully than any Mets pitcher.

Wednesday's game is at 4:10 so if they are going to have a split doubleheader it has to be tomorrow (not that I'm advocating for a split-DH, they shouldn't be allowed, but the poor owners need their gate revenue).

Gary noted yesterday how teams have recently had success against the Dodgers using a lefthanded opener. With a highly rested Jake Diekman, it seemed like the Mets had a real opening to give that a go.

It WAS on the schedule. Today's game has been banged.
There will be a single admission doubleheader tomorrow beginning at 4:10 PM.
Enjoy your day.

I guess things are ramping up for some boneshakers to plow through
the tri-state area but it's pretty freakin' nice out right now.

There’s any number of situations in which a separate admission doubleheader is not just appropriate but actually preferable.

The real issue is not doubleheaders. The issue is that tickets for rained-out games should be refundable.

On my way back to the NYC area via Philly (Houston to Philly flight) and it has been nasty since around 12:30
