Naturally, the girl with a headset and microphone takes the sign from a fan which is drawn and says:

The Houston Asterisks

Now watching Noah Syndergaard:

The leadoff batter (from Houston) is George Springer. He steps to the box.

Syndergaard turns his back and looks at the clock.

Then the umpire looks at the clock.

And now the managers look at the clock.

Noah Thor announces his ability to stick to the rules.

The announcers understood.

The players weren’t sure at first, but they too realized when pitcher timed his first pitch to the exact official start of the game, and to go forward he threw his first pitch high, but straight down the middle.
