I like how the first hit of the season was that.

[Butterscup1679666578]

that was so cubby

[Derwood]

LOL WUT

[Guest]

Haha. Nice defense, Nats.

[jersey cubs fan]

wow, was that 5 pitches?

 

Hahaha, first hit of the season is an IF pop that didn't make it to the pitchers mound.

[CyHawk_Cub]

At least they won't be no-hit

[Derwood]

8 pitch inning

[Guest]

Damn wind.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wind's gotten two now.

[bcl412]

It'd be 3-2 if it weren't for the wind.

[bukie]

Strasburg only threw two balls, and didn't miss a bat once that inning.

[Guest]

I know the wind is blowing in, but is it in from center, left or right? Can anyone tell?

 

Looks like it's mostly coming in from right center.

[mookie]

I love me some DeRo.

Strasburg only threw two balls, and didn't miss a bat once that inning.

 

Can't really complain about patience when he does that.

[mookie]

That was nasty. Demp still has some sauce.

[PriortoTheoIhadWood]

Is it just me or is Soriano looking lively? He looked angry at that fly ball, but good angry. #openingdayoptimism

What the hell? Miami is playing in Cincy tonight? Was the start of the season designed by a drunk person?

[BeerHere]

STEEEEEEEEEEEKK!

[Guest]

16 innings played today in four games so far and still no runs.

He hit it well for sure.

 

Nick quick inning for Demp. 6 in a row retired.

As lame Wrigleyville t-shirts go, "Sveumus Catuli" isn't bad.

Yes you can, patience isn't just about taking balls. It's about running up the opposing pitchers' pitch count. Getting yourself out in a hurry against a guy who had TJS not too long ago and is probably going to be monitored for workloads just isn't a great idea.

Actually, they're playing in a little over an hour from right now.
