Also so is Baltimore. Holy shit is that a miserable roster. They shouldn't score a run this series.

Jordan Zimmermann hasn't allowed a baserunner in five innings (46 pitches). Safe to say the Tigers have peaked very early this season.

Of course the Tigers have one hit so that’s on-brand.

Again, peaking early with that hit coming in the sixth.

Zimmermann through 6 clean at 55 pitches.

So, it's opening day and Bryce Harper already was getting booed by the Philly fans. Should be fun!

It is an abomination and I will have to just trust that Elias can build something great.

50-112 is my guess.

Who hits more home runs, Stanton + Judge or 2019 Orioles roster?

Chris Davis with an 0-3, 3k performance. They will end up outright releasing him before July 1st.

Until they bring up Mountcastle, Hayes and Cisco, hopefully by May 1, there is really no reason to tune in - other than morbid curiosity. When those three kids get here, at least they will be losing but with some future sprinkled in, unlike now, when they are just losing.

Legitimately might be overly optimistic here. There wasn't a single position yesterday they were better than NY. Thats tough to do.

He probably won't play enough this year to do this, but if he puts up a 204 strikeout season -- which would only be his THIRD highest single-season total -- he would jump on the all-time career strikeout list from 39th to 9th.

115 losses last year, it feels like it should be hard not to improve on that, but, yeah.

Is it possible that Sheffield is underrated? I realize the era he played in, but a career OPS of .907 and an OPS+ of 140 along with 250+ stolen bases

Giants getting shut out in their opener seems like foreshadowing for the entire season.

You win a game, you lose 2/3 and it’s what you do with the other 1/3 minus one game that determines your season.

One out of three gets the Orioles 54 wins and 108 losses which would be a seven game improvement on last year...
