Bottom 5
Peña flies out deep to CF. 1 out
CJ Stroud doing an interview from his box with the sideline reporter whose AirPods Max™ are grafted to her head. Can’t hear him but I’m sure it’s riveting
Cam, full count, walks. Smith has a confident eye, was rung up on a similar pitch the first time up. Certainly not intimidated by the big lights
Rodgers quickly GIDP. Inning over
3-1 Mets after 5
Heading toward disaster at breakneck speed here.

In case anyone was wondering what it was going to take for me to mute Apple and find the radio, well, it was this half inning.

Disaster averted.
Time for the new guys and well, the old guys, to start getting some hits
Top 6
Soto walks. Hunter wanted no part of him
Passed ball moves Soto to 2B
Alonso walks. Okert up in the pen
Nimmo chops to the right side, Rodgers comes in, fields it, tags Alonso on his way to 2B, throws to first, double play. Soto to 3B but 2 out now
Vientos F8
That’s it for Brown, who starts 2025 with a QS. 3-1 Mets through 5.5
All in all, Brown looked pretty good. Lost it for a few batters in the second after the error and a bad pitch to Soto.

Sure Jake, whatever works
Just a reminder that you can switch audio to the local radio in the broadcast.
Jake fouled one off his shin. Hope he’s not out for 3 months.
Fewer walks wouldn’t bother me but otherwise, yeah, that was a really nice outing. The solo home run to whatshisname is basically meaningless.

Not if you’re bootlegging this bullshit you can’t.
eta Which is why I didn’t take my own frequently offered advice a lot sooner, it took more than a marginal amount of effort.

Two of the walks I credit to fatigue, he looked a bit gassed that last inning
Here we go, Paraydees.
This is the most important advice ever conveyed in the GZ, and that includes guidelines regarding hats indoors.
Also, radio broadcast just pointed out the Astros are the only team in Major League Baseball without an extra base hit.

There’s not a whole hell of a lot to complain about. Maybe more curve balls, certainly more curves in the zone for strikes. But, you know, if the Astros know one thing they know how to guide pitchers so I’m going to go ahead and assume they have a better handle on the logic behind his pitch selection than I do.
FOR FUCK’S SAKE Paredes, what are you fucking waiting for?
