Nimmo had no business making that catch. I think Marte was closer right up until it hit Nimmo's glove.

Good drive by Álvarez. Seems to have shortened up a little.

Phwam does what a DH is penciled in to do. OE: although he's in left Canny is DHing.

Look how glorious those Oakland whites look in the daytime.

The visiting team doesn't necessarily get the rights to broadcast ceremonial stuff that the home team is doing, and even with the Mets angle, it's probably not the programming your standard SNY viewer wants to see wire-to-wire. They'll probably show a clip or two later in the game.

Just a delay to honor the 1973 Swingin' A's. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MvrU8T6Kl_I/hqdefault.jpg>

Unless somebody is hurtin' that we don't know about, there's not an obvious corresponding move. Maybe the A's are dealing for Locastro or Escobar.

Alvarez catching. Canha hitting designatedly. Pham in left.

José Butto makes his 2023 MLB debut, going up against lefty JP Sears.

They always do. I mean, the presence of Megill and Peterson suggests that they dipped into AAA in the first week of the season. And Álvarez means they dipped in the second week as well. That's the game. As for decent, Butto has surely been rather good, giving up only six hits and two runs in 9 2/3 innings.

He's done terrific in AAA.

Give Robertson a pair of saves.

Ruiz sacrificing with Langoliers running for second, it was almost a tougher out at first.

Into and outa trouble for Ottavino.

Not a cool thing: McNeil is really having a shlubby series.

Cool thing: when you view any player's MLB profile page, he's listed as #42.

Hey, my MLB.tv feed is working now! It only took one game plus seven innings to figure out why I was blacked out of those super-popular Oakland games!

Two pitchers off to difficult starts try to right their ships on the east side of the bay. Both pitchers will be trying to turn their luck around by switching to #42.

By the way, if I ever get kidnapped by international scoundrels, who force me to make a video where I tell the world how well I'm being treated by this kind terrorist cell who are only trying to make the world safe from evil infidels, you'll hear me greet a handful of friends: "I'd like to let my wife know I love her and that I'm thinking of her and my family, and my friends Bruce and Felix and Al." Please let the CIA know that this is me conveying a digital code — in this case, 4-17-22. It might be an address, it might be coordinates, or it might be a date and time, but the key is that I'm using Mets names to pass a digital code back to the intelligence bureaus of my homeland. The quicker they sort that out, the better, so I need youse to clue them in, and maybe walk them through the ambiguities — that "Bruce" is probably Boisclair and not Berenyi or Chen, and that "Felix" probably refers to the 17 that Millan wore from 1974 to 1977 and not the 16 that he wore in 1973.

I'm pretty happy that Correa's bat had been asleep so far this season before finally waking up at Yankee Stadium, where the Twins never win.

I've got to hand it to you, Steve. You really know how to find the folks with the bad takes.

Between not getting the picture and a massive storm here in Baltimore, I bailed at 12-6. Good for the Mets for taking their pitches, but they probably didn't need me staying up late listening to it.

I miss the days of longer benches where you could pull a good chunk of your lineup in a game like this.
