IGT, OPENING DAY, 2024-03-28! (Now 2024-03-29!)

Post by Edgy MD » Mon Mar 25, 2024 7:01 pm

If anybody wants to give us a KTE thread about the 2024 Brew Crew, please feel free to step up!!

The below lineups are pretty speculative. The Mets deployment is probably pretty close to correct, but the Brewers lineup card is still up in the air, as they may be platooning at as many as four positions — five if you count DH, but yeah that's former Met Gary Sanchez expected to be hacking against José Qunintana.

There's also some question about Sal Frelick, who played outfield when he came up last season, but has been seeing time at third of late. It's unclear whether he'll be in right on Opening Day, at third, or on the bench, but a quick review of their beat writers and their twitter users (kill me now) suggests that the last scenario.

This is what mlb.com projects as the starting lineup.

1. Sal Frelick, CF
2. William Contreras, C
3. Christian Yelich, LF
4. Rhys Hoskins, 1B
5. Willy Adames, SS
6. Gary Sánchez, DH
7. Jackson Chourio, RF
8. Brice Turang, 2B
9. Joey Ortiz, 3B
SP: RHP Freddy Peralta
CL: RHP Trevor Megill

Note the last name on that list as we may have dueling Megills late in the game on Thursday.

A Frelick and a Yellich can also make things fun.

Hopefully duan gets better weather on Sunday.

The strange latter-day tradition of beisbol opening on Thursday and skipping Friday almost makes me root for a rained-out opener.

Unless you're hiding big leaguers in your pocket, pretty sure your DH is actually named D.J. Stewart, not D.J. Steward. C'mon, guy.

Forecast looks much better for Friday, 56 and breezy but clear and sunny. I wonder if they push this one out a day

I'm not a fan of playing on Good Friday, but that's just me.

I'm also not a fan of playing baseball in March. The season should run from April through late September, with playoffs concluded by the third week of October. Baseball in November is crazy.

Seconded on this. Also can't the wizards who make these calls schedule the March games to be, you know, not in the coldest parts of the country? The Mets have divisional opponents in Atlanta and Miami after all.

I thought the idea was not to let a NY team open at home in March

Or so I thought

Boosts the chance that they actually get to play the game. Maybe the Friday off day is a good idea?

Glad they didn't keep everyone up in the air until morning only to call it
anyways. It's gonna be a soaker tonight and tomorrow.
