We'll be doing one eah month for the rest of the year. It'll be easier to consolidate info there and to follow the team's affiliates for the rest of the season. It's obvious so far that the big club won't be the story, to say the least, lol...

Hiya Eric.

I didn't bother to start this thread until now because of the likely delay/possible rainout. Watching the Dr. K documentary. Much better to be quite frank!
Rainout yesterday and quite possibly again tonight.  
Optimus-NY : 4/3/2024 9:51 am : link
Yesterday's game has been rescheduled for a 1:10 pm start on Thursday. Let's see what happens with today's game. It doesn't look good as of now. Both the Tigers and Mets are off on Thursday, so we may see a doubleheader that day as a result of this rainy spell in Flushing.

if they they will rain out today they just need to call it now and not have these guys out there doing their pre-game warm ups, wearing themselves out just to wait around.

Especially if they will be playing a double header tomorrow.

Adrian Houser will start Game 1 tomorrow for the Mets. Nightcap is listed as TBA, but I am hearing Butto is an option.

Ugh why. He stinks! 4.40 ERA 4.93 FIP last year. 5.4 K/9, 7.2 H/9. Savant page ugly as to be expected.

NEW YORK -- With their rotation reeling due to injuries and weather issues early this season, the Mets made a move Wednesday to strengthen that unit. The team agreed to terms on a $2.5 million Major League contract with right-hander Julio Teheran, according to multiple sources. The team has not confirmed the deal -- which is prorated and includes up to $450,000 in bonuses -- because it is not yet official.

Teheran, 33, will go to work immediately with his new club. He’s a candidate to pitch Monday when the Mets open a key four-game series in Atlanta.

NEW YORK -- The wet, cold reality of April in the Northeast continued to affect the Mets and Tigers on Wednesday, as the teams had a second straight game postponed due to rain. The clubs will play a single-admission doubleheader at Citi Field on Thursday beginning at 12:10 p.m. ET.

Of the six games on the Mets’ season-opening homestand, three were postponed due to rain, including Opening Day for a second straight year. The Mets had similar problems last year, albeit a bit later in the season, when they endured three postponements over a four-day period in late April and early May.

No thread needed for tonight.

Will make one tomorrow for both games before game time for the first game. We can chill here for now until then...pondering our existence...and why Zack "Eat my Shorts" is somehow on this team...
