2022 Mets

Good win today. Petersen did a good job and the bullpen came through. Who did we lose off the pitching roster?
 
So far one of the most exciting Mets seasons in years. Player enthusiam is infectious. Nice mix of home grown players and free agents. Buck's post game comments can be hilarious to listen to--yesterday talking about Long Beach State. Loved when he responded to Mets playing "small ball"--he told the reporter "what;s small about it"; "360 feet is 360 feet; that's what it takes to tour the bases". Yesterday was a perfect example of Buck Ball.

Amazing stat is the Mets stand at #18 in MLB in home runs and they are first in runs scored.

Small ball still has its place. Manufacturing a run without a hit counts just as much as a 500 foot home run.
It also puts pressure on the pitchers and defense, which causes errors and leads to scratching out an extra cheap run.

Now, get off my lawn.
 
The schedule maker really put the Mets through the ringer. 3 separate west coast trips and now two game series in Houston? Three games in Miami and the two more games at home against Houston?
 
Heads up. Sundays Mets - Marlins game is a noon start and Peacock exclusive.

 
Another pay for play game. Bad enough cable is so $$$ you got to spend more to watch what should be included....

The money grab continues. I pay for SNY with Directv. I also pay a few hundred bucks for the MLB package. The MLB package use to be sold as if you have access to “ALL MLB” games. Obviously, this has changed. Yeah, yeah I know the wording on the MLB season pass was probably tweaked so they can do exactly what they are doing. But no, no, I am not paying for anymore streaming services.

For God‘s sake I already have Amazon Prime AND Apple TV but I’m suppose to get Peacock. Screw that. I got some yard work and an empty gazeebo out back. Like 1980 all over again I’ll pop Howie Rose on the radio. On top of that the beer 🍺 is not going to drink itself.

Not 100% sure but I think Peacock has a free version where baseball games are available.

Where are you located ? I have the same Directv set up but here in Charlotte, but the Braves, Nats, Orioles and Reds all claim the marketplace so those games are not on the package and I have to watch their announcers through the sportspack.
 
I think most of these streaming services like Apple are offering games for free just to get you onto their channel. It worked, I started watching Severance and Physical. Now I subscribe.

I'll kick back and do it the old way. I'll listen on my radio (wish I had a old school transistor) while sitting on the deck. Howie Rose does the games but I will mis Eddie Coleman who retired this year. You can get WCBS 880 on the internet if you want to listen--it is free
