At least Kris Bryant can use his Golden Knights tickets on Thursday.

Not so much anymore.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Dennis Eckersley had his best years with the Athletics and the Red Sox. So, if the A’s beat the Yanks tonight, you might expect TBS to put him on that series. Nope - he’s got the Astros/Indians. Dumb.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Let's see how my decision to ignore the last 3 months of Yankee baseball goes.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Mister D's Mister Keys to the Game:
1. Severino was the right call because he has the best stuff and, more importantly, he shows very clearly if he doesn't have it or is losing. Flipside is Tanaka who might not be locating but that's semi-standard and there's not a lot visually separating him struggling early with whether he'd get through 7 relatively unscathed and or give up two quick HRs. I'm hoping and assuming Happ is the caddy and Tanaka is the extra innings guy but that's less important than Boone picking the right starter, which he did.
2. I hate Voit hitting 5th not because I hate him hitting 5th, but because I'm positive Neil Walker will PH at some point and then you've got Walker hitting in front of Gregorious, Andujar, Sanchez and Torres. I'm pre-mad about this future big situation for Walker's 2nd PA.
3. I also hate Chapman announced as closer given his issues at times in bigger games. Hopefully there's a righty throwing behind him after the first baserunner at the latest.
4. Overall, I feel as good as I can knowing a bullpen can just run through you without hitters ever getting a chance to adjust.
5. Yankees 4-3 with Oakland scoring late and making me barf. Time of the 9 inning game will be 4:17.
5a. If the Yankees do lose, they'll have 13+ strikeouts and someone stupid on Oakland will have a big HR.

And he's working with Don Orsillo which would have been nice hearing him do more Red Sox games.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I’m guessing the baseball fans around the country who aren’t big fans of either of these teams are thinking one of two things.
Either
1. Yankees versus the Red Sox is a classic rivalry needs to be those two playing each other.
2. God I’m so tired of seeing those two teams play each other in TV. Please Lord help us. Go A’s.

Not sure of a bullpen day in the wildcard game
Lead off walk someone might be warming up soon

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Hendricks looked exactly like bad Severino does; fastball a tick up and going to all the wrong quadrants and breaking pitches either spiked or deliberate and spinning.

The A's green is one of the only acceptable dark jerseys in the game.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Gary Sanchez the clear MVP of that inning.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I have the text trail calling this exact start to the inning. And I have no idea why Betances is getting the fireman call over (anyone but Chapman).

God I hate this phrase. It isn’t you. The ringer is the genesis of my hate for it.

I so want to hang out with Voit and his 1992 Trans Am

Did the ringer fuck up an otherwise great phrase?

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
1. Chapman has to come out before Green assuming both are available.
2. Green has to be on call if 2 runners are on. Boone can’t let the always lurking meltdown get to the tying run.

Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
Jesus Christ even I could have hit that hanger for a routine groundout to third.
Edit: actually I hit better lefty. So maybe first. But I’d have been late so probably third.
Edit again: I’ve had a long day. Bear with me.

If you work back and go from Dril to “My Garbage Sons” to the Huckabee family pic, it’s really a wonderful reference. I wish I could erase your memory.
Re: 2018 MLB Week 1
I never thought my team would go into the post-season to defend their WS title and I would have no idea who one of the players on the roster is.
well this is gonna be someone's new signature - bronto
