Huh?  It's the first game of the season, and Nico had a .382 OBP last September.

What is lately? Its game #1. Spring training?

I’m dumb

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I’ll take a bad hamstring. I’ve seen enough of this franchise to assume it was stage 5 knee cancer when he first went down. 

[UMFan83]

Also Nico had almost as much WAR last year as Gordon Beckham had in his entire 11 year career.

[chibears55]

Good thing they have Smyly still 🙄

[Transmogrified Tiger]

With 2-3-4 due up in the 8th it looks like we're gonna found out pretty quick if Neris was sandbagging his way through Spring Training.

Spring training and today, he's swinging at some crazy pitches right now.  5 feet short of the plate or outside

[Illiterate Scholar]

Boy those were some hangers. Some luck was deserved after the ground rule double

[Irrelevant Dude]

A LOT of weak contact from Happ tonight.

[UMFan83]

Suboptimal 1-2-3 inning from the top of the order

[Rex Buckingham]

Madrigal's noodle arm costs them. Hoerner feels like he has to rush a throw

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ugh.  Nico shouldn't throw that, and Busch has to knock it down.

[Rex Buckingham]

just walk Garcia now

[Rex Buckingham]

like I said, strike out Garcia, then get the lefty

[Transmogrified Tiger]

call it, most of the misses have been borderline but that was not close

[PeanutPunch33]

Great debut Hector!

[chibears55]

Come on, winnable game here, let get a run and then AA will close it out

[UMFan83]

Ump is starting to annoy me.

Busch has been impressive at the plate in his debut
