MLB Opening Day/Weekly/Season LD

[Megatron]

BASEBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Use this thread for Opening Day discussion. Possibly the entire season, since making a weekly one likely wouldn't get as much traction.

 

[Megatron]

Probably gonna start with some Yankees/Red Sox before flipping it around different games. Anyone else watching?

 

[Megatron]

And the Sox strike first. Jackie Bradley Jr. drew a big walk and I have to say I'm interested in this kid. CC's getting taxed. Might struggle to make it through 5.

 

[Megatron]

BRYCE. Stop it.

 

[Megatron]

76 through 4 for CC. I'd anticipate he doesn't get past 100, and with his FB staying around the 89-90 range, he may get one more inning.

This is awesome opening day and my Redsox are WINNING! After last year's horrible season it's nice to get things started the right way, Even if it's against the very banged up Yankees.

Lester is off to a good start, I hope he keeps it up all year.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Gah Youk! You don't look right in those pinstripes! Hearing these Yankee fans do the YOUUUU just isn't right and Youk looks weird without his goatee.

That needed to be said.

 

[Megatron]

Yeah Youkilis really isn't Youkilis without the goatee. That just added to his douchebaggery.

And I say that with respect to the player that he was.

 

[Megatron]

Lester's in his first sign of trouble. 2 on 1 out now.

 

[Megatron]

Huge K for Lester. Needs 1 more to get out of this jam with the #9 hitter up.

 

[Megatron]

Just like that it's a 2 run game. Single down the line with the turn of the lineup.

 

[Megatron]

And Sabathia's done after 5. Figured with it being opening day and his arm problems he had last year. Only one bad inning, but he labored through those innings.

And Stephen Strasburg had an impressive Opening Day, although lol at the Nationals still handling their pitchers with kid gloves. 80 pitches through 7 and they take him out. Hope their bullpen doesn't break down with as much as Johnson will overuse them.

 

[The Butcher]

Long effin' day, so I'm glad to come home, hop on here, and find out that the Yanks are losing. Never fails to brighten me right up.

And Stephen Strasburg had an impressive Opening Day, although lol at the Nationals still handling their pitchers with kid gloves. 80 pitches through 7 and they take him out. Hope their bullpen doesn't break down with as much as Johnson will overuse them.

You're being kind in saying 'kid gloves'. That's absurd. Does Vegas have an over/under for the number of complete games for Strasburg?

 

[Megatron]

I know it's the first game and all, but way to burn Clippard for tomorrow.

 

[The Butcher]

Still getting caught up on the Yanks/Sox. Nice catch by Jackie Bradley. Welcome to the big leagues indeed.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Cubs trying not to blow this 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 9th. Marmol's in. I'm nauseated.

 

[Megatron]

Nice to give Verlander some early run support. 2-0 going into the bottom of the 1st.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

3-1... runner on first. Tying run at the plate. One out. Marmol makes me want to fight dragons.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

And now runner's on 1st and 2nd after a walk by Marmol. Sveum coming to the mound and getting James Russell. Thank GOD!

 

[The Butcher]

Sox put up two more. Wish they could both lose, but I'll take seeing the Yankees fall.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Now it's 2 out and the debut of Fujikawa for the Cubs to get the final out. Runner's still on 1st and 2nd.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

FUJIKAWA!

 

[Stormtrooper]

Now it's 2 out and the debut of Fujikawa for the Cubs to get the final out. Runner's still on 1st and 2nd.

Fuck Fujikawa. Marmol should have stayed in, he'd have gotten that out!
(Marmol is on my fantasy team, that's the only reason I'm saying that).

 

[Stormtrooper]

CC looked good in all but one of his innings. Youk looked good too.

Of course losing 8-2 sucks, but can't win them all. 161 games to go, so nothing to worry about.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Fuck Fujikawa. Marmol should have stayed in, he'd have gotten that out!
(Marmol is on my fantasy team, that's the only reason I'm saying that).

PICK FUJIKAWA UP!

I mean now! Marmol's one more bad outing away from the minors.
