[Edgy MD]

Fresh off a fine opening to their West Coast Trip, the New York Mets send out Jose Butto to let the world know … none of this is a fluke.

Game time on WPIX



Better than on Peacock



Let's put the sword in the Stone

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo opening with a four-pitch walk.



I hope he does that forever.

[ashie62]

Nice Start



Lindor crushes a double for a run.



DJ Puffinstuff walks

[ashie62]

Pete stranded one with one out



C'mon Jeff

[ashie62]

Bop it Bader

[ashie62]

Dodgers putting together an inning



Real test for Butto

[ashie62]

Rut roh



Squeezed imho

[Edgy MD]

It's been a busy inning.

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's hard to have your back more against the wall than that.



The score may be 1-to-1, but Stone took 33 pitches to get through the first inning. Buttó only needed 32.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, the good news is Butto struck out the side.

Very similar innings for both starters: lotsa walks, lotsa pitchers, coulda been lotsa worse.

[ashie62]

Quite an escape job by Butto



Pitch counts are high already

Narvaez is gonna be catching everyday now. I hope he hits some

[Edgy MD]

Nobody really catches every day. Nido might well be catching tomorrow.

[ashie62]

He'll be in the lineup most days

[ashie62]

Butto is all over the place but in some way I think he's settling in

[ashie62]

Just get this one out right now

[metirish]

This game is going to drag worse than a wet week in Ireland

[ashie62]

Just like that

[Edgy MD]

Butto only needed 29 pitches for the second inning.



Progress!

[ashie62]

Settling in

[ashie62]

Gotta be starting something!!

[ashie62]

Both sides working on a record for runners left on base in a game

[Edgy MD]

And locks in with a 12-pitch inning the third time.



GREAT time for the Mets to strike here.

[ashie62]

Wendle is doing his part hereto help

[ashie62]

That's it for Gavin Stone



Butto soldiers on



Ha!

[Edgy MD]

The Dodgers passed a Stone!
