The Mets will take on the Detroit Tigers today at 1 pm.
The Mets lineup is Angel Pagan, followed by OF Brady Clark, DH Marlon Anderson, OF Ryan Church, C Ramon Castro, 2B Ruben Gotay, 1B Michel Abreu, 3B Anderson Machado, SS Anderson Hernandez and Mike Pelfrey.
Matt Wise, Pedro Feliciano, Jorge Sosa, Brian Stokes and Willie Collazo are scheduled to pitch after Pelfrey.
To get live, written updates from the pressbox, check out blogs for the Journal News, Newsday, Star-Ledger, Bergen Record and the Daily News, where Adam Rubin points out that the Mets did not take batting practice because it is 55 degrees.
Will I be able to listen to this without an MLB.tv or GameDay Audio Subscription?
Yeah, just click the link Matt provided and it will open up a live feed to the game, the pregame show is on now. Also, I’m on a Mac and it works fine (a lot of audio and video won’t work with Mav OS).
All I gotta say is how sweet it is to finally get some pre-game notes. The Regular Season is getting close. Even Cerrone is in his warm-up mode
I doubt it. Having mlb.tv or gameday audio would work, but I think MLB also has a spring training subscription which covers audio and video for all games.
It will cut off once the game starts.
Perhaps there is a scaled back MLB Gameday…
Due to Major League Baseball restrictions,
97.1 FM The Ticket is not able to broadcast Tigers games on the internet.
MLB Gameday Audio is a really terrific value for the season… I’ve had it since 2006 and love it…
for those of us who are not lucky enough to be in sny range, the video is quite nice too. I love the archive feature — I can go back and watch any game from last season. Just the other day I watched Johan’s 17K game!
haha, awesome
Agreed there, on tv, I only get the Mets when they are on ESPN, Fox, TBS, or WGN. I think my favorite feature of all is the condensed games. If I am unable to watch the game live, I avoid the box score that night and then watch a 10 minute version of the game the next morning. Sure beats just reading about it.
are they going to carry the game or not?
is everyone else getting dead air from that link?
yes
Listening via Gameday Audio
2 on 0 out for the Mets
im listening now.. commercial break
They’re talking nonsense for a while now, I guess they arent doing the game live on Detriot radio…
games on mlb.com are blacked out on local internet radio
yea, what I dont get is that the two schmucks on the air are at the game and seem to be doing some sort of pregame… even though the game has started.
weird — I guess they decided that was better than dead air. They do the same type of thing on ESPN when a game of the week is shown on the local station — they just keep the talking heads nonsense going as if there was no game scheduled.
“Mets need to bring three starters to the game today and they look two shy of that …”
Nice
can someone please recap what has happened so far. was (happily) digging up my gameday password!
Bases Loaded, 1 out for Ramon Castro.
Sac Fly Castro, 1-0 Mets…
top of first:
pagain: infield hit,
clark: sharp single,
anderson: dropped popup in CF-force at second
church: walk,
castro: sac fly, runner caught in rundown trying to adv to third to end inning
bottom of first:
granderson: weak grounder to ss
polanco: K (on a 2-2 “nasty slider”)
perez: shallow fly to RF
This is a real test for Pelfrey. He’s not going to face a lineup like the Tigers in the real season (thankfully). This is a very promising start!
the problem is that pelfreys first trip through the lineup is usually good
its the 2nd and 3rd trips that usually do him in
Not to mention that this is probably their first time facing real live pitching, in game situation. Lets see how he does in two weeks when the batters have had time to adjust.
do they play the tigers again during Spring Training?
Just stop responding to him, if everyone ignores him he will go away.
we have a SS game sunday the 16th
michael/”michelle” abreu is making a case for himself.
these announcers could do a bit more talking about…the game. i prefer those college kids!
31 yo Cuban defector signed to a minor league deal. Supposedly a very good hitter. Could be a very interesting signing.
thats 27 in Duque years…
He should be a nice piece to the AAA team and a good guy to have around in case Delgado gets hurt.
For us in teh New York Area, http://www.wbbl.com has the feed, listening to it right now
good call man
thanks
good find
top of second:
gotay: popup to left
abreu: linedrive hit to left
machado: rbi standup triple down the rf line
hernandez: groundball to 3rd
pagan: groundball to short
mets 2-0
updates may be more scarce from here –need to do a little work ;)
“Pelfrey had a strong first inning. Looked confident going after the top-third of the Tigers lineup, pounding the strike zone with his fastball. Threw 16 pitches, 11 for strikes. He ended the inning with a strikeout of DH Timo Perez, fanning the former Met on a nasty slider.”
…from the Star Ledger…way to go Pelf.
Who had a stiff neck last year from making a long bus trip? Was it Delgado or Valentin or someone else? A reason not to make the big boys travel.
ordonez: infield hit to third
cabrera: popup to left (diving catch by clark)
guillen: lineout DP to short
bottom of the second that was.
Solid outing by Pelfrey against a pretty good lineup…
Guess what came in the mail the other day my “JOSE JOSE JOSE” seven game tickets!!! I’m pumped!!!
I wonder when I will be receiving my season tickets. I can’t wait. Johan!!
Wait….the partial people got their tickets before the full season holders…..GRrrrrrr…..
BTW, the password for the presale tomorrow is (shockingly enough)…..Santana….
Every game is up for presale except OD, Yanks, Last Game….
Hope this helps a fan out…..
top of 3rd
jason grilley (sp?) pitching
clark: groundball to 3rd
anderson: pop to rf
church: pop to cf
pelf’s pitching another
with those pitchers i wonder if willie is treating this more like a real outing for pelf. i imagine he wants to see the other guys, but maybe pelf will go 4-5 before we see…wise?
well, scratch that! wise is in now.
oops nope sorry, was tricked by the tigers guys
wise is in.
appreciate your doing this
Hey, Mookie. Thanks for the play by play…
beats working ;)
yea no $hit… Im “working” myself too…
Same here… Thank God for Gameday Audio…
lovin the play by play…..can’t have the volume up, with my boss sitting in the next room….. it’s like a deadly game of cat and mouse keeping him from seeing this screen up.
I want to get Gameday audio now ’cause im bored at work… but I can just imagine the moment I click “purchase”, 15 emails gonna come in from clients
Either my mlb game day account still works from last year or its free right now.
Supposedly the new year begins on March 1, so I think its our old accounts working.
I bought my 1 year account that started with opening day last year, and included this spring.
or I hope so anyway ..
bottom 3rd: matt wise pitching
renteria: grounder to 3rd (10 pitches!)
rodriguez: grounder to 2nd
jones: grounder to short
3 batters, 3 weak grounders, nice debut!
Very nice indeed…
top 4th
castro: i missed, he got out
gotay: popup?
abreu: K
the box score from mets.com says grilli has 1K (abreu), 1 groundout (clark), and 4 flyouts.

Thanks…
How bad are these announcers. Homer central
Coolio gave the link to listen live above (thanks, coolio). It works. No gameday audio needed. You need to fill out a short form, but there’s no need to wait for a confirming e-mail.
It’s great to listen to some live Mets baseball!
Right on man. I am so pumped for baseball. Almost 1 month away.
most are homers
i cant hate them for it
bottom 4th
granderson: flyout to rf
polanco: grounder to 2b
perez: flyout to cf(?)
this “overpowering” lineup has sent the minimum to the plate.
Was Wise still pitching?
no
Stokes
stokes
top of 5th, zach miner pitching
machado: ground to 2nd
hernandez: ground to short
pagan: ground to 2nd
/why wouldn’t the announcers be homers? It is a spring training game in February. I will be pissed if I turn on SNY on Saturday and instead of Johan, Gary and Ron are talking about the opposition.
The Mets offense is now acting like we expected it would. Thats now 11 in a row retired. The pitching is holding up nicely though.
…could the announcers tell us who is pitching?
seriously, who pitched the 4th for the Mets?
stokes. the box score on mets.com is better than these live announcers. ridiculous.
feliciano is in now.
am i hearing things or does this announcer call Angel Pagan, Anhell Pagan?
thats how the spanish pronounce it
Pagan with a nice play in CF…
I wonder if they plan on using Pagan as the AAA CF so FM can learn LF/RF. much like they did with Milledge in 2006…
i think pagan could wind up making the team
only if Endy (or another bench player) needs to start the year on the DL, imo
unfortunately for Pagan he has options, and others dont. For the little impact that a bench player has, I doubt they would waive Gotay to keep Pagan.
HBP and a walk for Feliciano…
and a double play.
bottom of 5th, feliciano pitching
ordonez: hbp, removed for pinch runner
cabrera: flyout to center
guillen: walk
renteria: double play on hard hit ball back to pitcher
Thanks! you are much faster than the stupid MLB.com Boxscore!
top 6th: miner still pitching, may be lineup changes but these announcers are barely paying attention….
clark: reached on two base error (should have been on 3rd says the tigers announcers .. hustle buddy!)
anderson: foul out, third base side
church: popup behind second
castro: popup
sosa in for the mets. soloman enriquez at C.
Jorge Sosa now pitching
Manriquez is catching
salomon manriquez??
where the hell do they find these guys?
there is always work for catchers in February and March. My guess is a couple of them make the New Orleans squad and the rest play in Mexican summer league ball.
Manriquez, Casanova, Paniagua, Molina… its like a Venezuelan law firm…
“There’s no way I can be mad. They’ve given me opportunities and I just haven’t taken advantage of them. That’s the bottom line.”
Compare above (humble Pelfrey quote) with various Milledge quotes from SI article.
was that a ground ball DP from Sosa?
bottom 6th:
sosa pitching, new catcher, solomon something or other
boss came in for a bit so I only half listened, and the tigers have started shuffling their lineup
rodriguez: out
??: walk
inge: walk
rayburn: K looking
perez: ground to short
i think pudge was a K and the other walk was Jones.
can someone … anyone get a hit?
nice double by gotay – to the track.
still 2-0 mets
thanks! =)
what’s the score?
the bbl stream just went out on me
that player must be built in real media, its constantly buffering…
2-0 Mets in the 7th
there hasnt been a baserunner past 2nd in a while on either side…
top of 7th: preston larison (former prospect, trying to break through) pitching
guy from work came in and wouldn’t stop talking (even though I turned up the volume and tried to look disinterested) .. maybe it’s a little early in the season to start alienating people ;)
but I got this much:
double off the wall
abreu: K looking
machado: out
out
You should get a head set and make believe you’re on a conference call. Whenever someone comes in, just start talking to the headset.
anyone know who is pitching for the mets? whoever it is just gave up a 3B.
lol…3B, 2B, by “Willie Koyashi” per the announcers. Guess its Callazo.
Willie Collazo
Collazo is in now, I think
hmm, now I’ve got someone talking about Lions ticket prices… did the game get called off? lol
unfortunately, you’ve missed 3B, 2B, BB, 2B.
tigers up 3-2
I guess thats for the best, the Mets dont have anymore pitchers to pitch the 9th anyway…
make that another 1B, 4-2. Sorry Collazo, you still stink!
Those runs all earned by Collazo?
bottom 7th: collazo pitching
groundout on 1 pitch
Hessman (?): triple off the wall
penn?: long flyball double
santiago: walk
not sure who: clark misplayed popup blown by wind, bloop single
ramirez: 2 run “seeing eye base hit” first & third 1 out
inge: rbi single
rayburn: infield popup to first
hollaman? (leland didn’t even have anyone on deck and had to scramble for a pinch hitter!): popup
4 run inning : /
better luck next time willie.
tigers 4
mets 2
finally the side is retired. oof. rough inning.
um, we’re out of pitchers aren’t we? guess we’ll be seeing some more willie…
now pitching, adam bostick, leadoff double
meanwhile, it is 8-0 phillies over reds after 6; cards have 14 runs against St. Louis U after 4!
top 8th: tim burdick?
“this batter” according to our informative announcers: swinging K
clark: ground to 3rd(?)
another batter: fly to left
adam bostick in for the mets.
Collazo:
1IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 0K, 0HR, 36.00 ERA.
oof.
bottom 8th: adam bostick pitching
cleveland: double
hessman : walk
marcus: force at third
santiago: fly to rf
not sure :walk
not sure: ground ball to third
Nice to see Bostick not walk four or five guys in a single inning. BTW, I’m also a Tigers fan. Have been since the early 1990’s and saw Travis Fryman, Dean Palmer, and Bobby Higginson in their prime. And I remember Matt Anderson throwing 100 mph with regularity. And then the years from 2002-2004 that were really painful (they had this one reliever formerly in the A’s system, Franklyn German, who made Guillermo Mota look positively lights-out, and then there was Jose Lima, who made me want to throw my remote through the TV even before ‘06). But I’m getting sidetracked. For those wondering about some of the semi-garbled names…
“Tim Burdick” is Tim Byrdak. Good LOOGY, though I wouldn’t let him face right-handed hitting. A bit like Scho, but better in the sense that he can pitch well at home.
“Cleveland” is Brent Clevlen. Semi-busted prospect who swings at everything.
“Marcus” is Marcus Thames, who should be a pretty good platoon player this year.
“Santiago” is Ramon Santiago, the late career Rey Ordonez clone the Tigers traded to get Carlos Guillen. Then they traded cash to get him back or got him on waivers or something. Probably the best trade the Tigers ever made…
thanks for the help!!
top 9th: bautista? pitching “power arm”
fernando martinez: single to right
manriquez: flyout to right, warning track
gotay: walk
abreu: double play to end it
That’d be Denny Bautista, who FWIW is Pedro’s cousin. He works intensely with Pedro and also his older brother, Ramon Martinez.
thats’ all folks, it’s been fun ;)
Other than Collazo’s rough inning, our pitching held up well..
tigers win 4-2 damn. i was gonna be big on michel abreu if he hit another ninth inning homer.
. . .are you being serious?!

pretty glad that lineup isnt in the NL East. God.
oh my god look at that lineup
You are an idiot. It is a 2.5 hr trip from PSL, and NO team brings there established vets on a trip that long. EVER. Get a life
Human Waste Mechanism.
It’s pre-season…it is not a glimpse of the World Series. Your remarks about Willie Randolph are also ridicolous. However, looking at other comments you posted on this thread I’m probably wasting my time even commenting on what you wrote.
god you’re obtuse
Look man, lets change the topic. You need professional help. I’m not even joking. You SERIOUSLY have issues outside of your faux Mets fandom/hatred. Go to the Phillies blog. Get drunk. Get laid. What-ever… Bottom line….Get a LIFE. How old are you? Cause you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask, ‘Why would anyone repeatedly make obsurd posts on baseseball blog, just to get angry reactions?’ Do you not have friends?Family? Do you really need attention this much….your’re a sad person.
I really feel bad for you man…..for real….
Hey — the only thing this proves is that in spring training, the manager gets to evaluate his players by putting them out there if, when, and however he feels like it. If this exhibition game was during the last week of grapefruit league play, you might have a point but, dude, it’s still February — lighten up.
troll.
btw, you just contradicted yourself by calling the mets a WS team.
What Ravi3 said. Its the first spring training game, Its 2.5 hours away. This is really a chance to take a look at Pelfrey, Church, and some marginal pitchers. The vets are working out at PSL. If the trip was reversed with the Tigers coming to PSL, they would have done the same
This guy is a clown, they are playing in Lakeland which is like 150 miles from Port St. Lucie. If you knew one single thing about baseball you would never make a comment like that. I would be more concerned if Willie took a team of his best guys. This is a chance to let some of the younger guys play to see if he wants them to remain in camp or ship them to the minor league camp in a week or two. Plus if he brings a full squad thats an enitre day without real practice for most of those guys.
why do you guys respond and react to him. He’s looking for attention, not a discussion. He’ll get bored and go away if everyone just ignores him.
You’re absolutely right–the entire 2008 season depends on this game. If the mets lose because they didn’t play their starters, they might as well withdraw from the major leagues.
i seriously am starting to think he is just playing a character when he does this…
Its all too stupid to even say and be serious….
i mean….seriously, no one is that dumb…NO ONE!
Guys this is not a troll. If you have been on this site long enough, you unfortnately remember the original Mr. Met and Firemetsmanagenment. These guys were incredibly ignorant trolls that tried to mess up the blog. This guy is obviously poking fun at them.
troll..
You have to have been here a while to understand that it’s sarcasm. He is making fun of the original firemetsmangament.
I honestly think its really sad. I mean NEEDING attention this bad. Constantly changing your SN just to make fake posts. Loser is one word…..I think pathetic is better….
Exactly proves my points above. However, if you push this to an extreme it will no longer be funny and will start to ruin the blog the way the first idiot did.
I reply to your posts cause I honestly cannot figure out your motive. Throwing eggs at cars….leaving poop bags on porches, sure. Theres a payoff. I just sit here picturing some loser hitting ‘refresh’ every 10 seconds just to see how much fake attention he can get. WOW…you are so cool. You are able to post posts that are 180 degrees from the truth and die-hard fans point out how stupid they are. FFFFFUN…..Do you realy have the time for that? Dont you have a job? A class to go to? A hobby? Porn. Xbox360….I mean ANYTHING else. You are an annonymous a$$hole on a baseball blog. Something to be proud of. Your parents must be so happy….
maybe hes a yankee/philly fan
he definitely keeps coming because he always gets action, no matter how absurd his posts are (or maybe becasue they’re always so absurd), and even from the posters who know his act. If we keep feeding the trolls, they will keep returning.
agreed…….its sick
and for the Mets, it is 2004!
And that’s without Sheffield…
or poking fun at us for continually getting in a tizzy.
