Cubs (Keller, NOT HORTON) vs Mets (Megill): 5/10/25, 6:10pm

do all mlb stadiums pipe in obnoxious hype noise trash in between every single pitch or just in NY where they’re used to constant relentless volume?

Let get at least 1 back here

Horton looks a little like Kerry wood

[squally1313]

This is baptism by fire. And he’s going to shut down the white Sox next weekend. 

[squally1313]

Good for him. Let’s go win a baseball game. 

[Derwood]

Not mad about that effort

[JD94]

Overall proud of how his debut went. Showed some good stuff. Made a mistake. It happens. Pitched out of a couple of jams against a stout lineup on the road in New York City.

Welcome to the show

Really successful first 4. He got 9 whiffs on under 75 pitches. Never really lost the control. One hung slider will make the ERA look worse than the appearance was.

He left a few pitches over the middle of the plate, could have been way worse

Everyone leaves a few pitches in hittable spots. They happen. Strong pitch shape, movement, and other offerings create situations where even when you leave a ball hittable, you still miss barrels and players just mishit them. 

He generated a lot of whiff, he didn't have multiple hitter-streaks of walks. One of the jams he was in was effectively a HBP and then a mistake by Amaya. That's a good first appearance.

Another mistake at 3B that will cost them most likely 

[Jason Ross]

Drew Pomeranz *looks* based on demeanor and appearance like he belongs in my adult league. 

[JHBulls]

I liked Cade today. I like Palencia in the pen. 

Can’t wait for Matt Shaw to come back up and stick. Shaw, PCA and Horton are all 23 year olds. Very nice to see we can have three potential stars for the next 6-10+ years.

Vibing to “My Girl” by the temptations as a city is about as lame as it gets.

Big K Palencia

Way to work out of the jam DP
