They are going to try but I really don’t know how they will get 60 games played...

Can we just ignore this sadness and make it go away? This doesn't even have train wreck-level of interest, it's just a morbidly defiant cash-grab.

Yankees Mets. Saturday, 7 pm. On the deuce.

Judge is playing today.

German is retiring?

[5] Huh, yeah, so it would appear... but mysteriously.

It’s boy an exhibition, but hooray, baseball.

Out

Yanks said no official word on German.

I was surprised there’d be replay in today’s game, but they need to practice that too. Never should’ve taken that long to call Yo out. He would’ve been safe had he not pulled up big time. Nice play by Gio too. He got nailed in the nuts during pregame and fell to the ground in foul territory.

Silly steal attempt by Gleyber. I don’t read ESPN, but there’s a good long article on him there today. I’ll read it later.

Miggy Missiles with hard hit single!

Why am I getting the box score on top of the YES feed on my iPhone?

Ah, ingot it to go away

Who’s Ingot? ; )

Clint’s stance is weird. His swing and eyes on strike 3, were both really bad.

But: Baseball !!! ⚾️

Confirmed: German is NOT retiring.

I got

And given his injury history I don’t blame Frazier for wearing a mask. With his luck, he’d wind up in the hospital

[13] Phew.

Give Clint a Golden Glove!

I thought it was pretty poetic that the first run was driven in by Gleyber hitting it off of Robbie’s glove!

I loved seeing Didi take Max super deep. Hated seeing it in a red Philthy uni

So happy to be watching real baseball! Not sure about the pumped in crowd noise

Have you guys been seeing the Yankee commercials? Really clever and fun!

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the fake noise

And if I may add, a pleasure to be chatting with you guys!

The Sockman with another hit! ESPN in mid-season form, and completely ignoring the game at hand.

Yes! I miss my Banter team and family!!!

Ok, with no fans in the stands, do they recycle foul balls?

There’s Merideth

Gleyber consistently positioned perfectly. King looks really good and poised.

GIO is sooo freaking good and smooooth!

Stanton is CRUSHING the ball! Goddamn, he hits it *hard* : o

Upper Deck for the Masked Man!

ESPN SUCKS!!!

Dang, I'm missing out. I still haven't replied to MLB's discount offer. I wonder if it's worth it.

Higgy’s been dropping a lot of pitches tonight.

[31] I get it automatically. I’m that much of a junkie.

Ah, the Mutts are in fine fielding form.

Alright, I am in. They are charging 45 bucks for the year.

[33] Ha. I do to. I just didn't realize it. I'm that much of a slacker.

I wonder if MLB players are using snuss. It's smokeless tobacco that doesn't require spitting. You can use it anywhere without people even know.

I can't look at Familia without thinking about the Pirates "We Are Family" team.

Ma and pa won’t be traveling with the team to do radio. Apparently they’ll do it from home. Weird, but given their ages, it is the right call.

Holy moly.
I forgot!
I'm just tuning in now!

This Met pitcher seems familiar somehow...

Good lord.
Well, that's why there's a pre-season.

Oooooh. I think he might have been safe.

Otto has trouble with the steal, so he shouldn’t be used after the ninth inning this year.

Tack on runs.

Wow.
A lot of singles!

May be summer camp, but I love beating the Muts

Man, that was fun.

Night all!

Night. So good to have a game thread going again.

LeMachine is playing.

Nice to have Kay and Cone on MLBN

Judge!

ALL RISE!!!

Gleyber is sooo good

Hmmm, both my new new dogs are Jack Russells (mix)

Nice move, Monty!

Mets gotta Mets.

Kraken releases one.

Gritner almost joins the party.

Luuuuke!

Save some for the regular season, guys.

Dayum, Stanton.

Well that was fun

Devi is pitching. And not very well.

Only one run, phew.

Zack Britton, not Greinke, Michael.

Tied up!

So, that Judge homer was weird, huh?

I bet he has the highest situational SLG in history: SLG with three outs.

As no extra inning weirdness.

[68] Heh.

[69] Now that reminds me of Japanese baseball, but they seem to be playing 10 in post-covid rules. I think they used to go to 11. (rim-shot)
