Opening Day: Dodgers (Yamamoto vs. Imanaga) in Japan 5am CST Marquee Network

[BigbadB]

And so it begins. Good to see Marquee running a Risk Free Hearing Aid ad for an entire hour before game time rather than some, I don't know, baseball stuff.

I think this is the first game thread I've ever started in my 22 years here. Cubs win by a touchdown!

[KCCub]

Freeman out as well

[KCCub]

Shota amped touching 94 and sitting 93. 

[BigbadB]

Happ doing Happ things. Although that first pitch was a gift (time violation on equipment that wasn't working).

Yeah Yamamoto is similarly up.  He's having more trouble locating with the extra juice though

[Jason Ross]

I wonder if gun is running hot.

[Bertz]

BTW something to keep an eye on these next two games

 

 

[Banedon]

Shota with short hair is weird.

[BigbadB]

Not liking this umpire's strike zone.

[Banedon]

Nice job getting outta that inning.

He had a game in ST with it tied up in a top knot.  I believe that's what's going on here too

[KCCub]

Great recovery Shota. Now let’s see what Shaw can do against a 93 mph splitter

[muntjack]

Rats.

[Jason Ross]

Miggy!

[muntjack]

Lol Amaya is going to be a star.

[Bertz]

MIGGY!

This would've sounded absolutely absurd midway through last season.

[BigbadB]

Great to see Amaya start off like that.

Can't help but let out a big exhale when you get past Ohtani.

[Bertz]

Curious how deep the starters go today.  4 probably?

Counsell said 75 pitches for Shota 

[Bertz]

Batting immediately after Tucker makes Busch look really short.
