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

[Jason Ross]

I really need there to be a damn option to delay ESPN notifications. The ESPN notifications come in before MLB.TV, but I'm also too forgetful to consistently turn them off and on. 

[Jason Ross]

Can tell Imanaga is *just* a little off today. Which isn't a knock - season is starting early, and this is a weird way to kick it all off for routines for the year.

[Bertz]

Ben Brown getting loose.  If Shota and Brown can get us into the 7th you feel pretty good.

[Illiterate Scholar]

I had that Hernandez ball landing on the moon off the bat

[BigbadB]

Is this considered a hitter or pitcher friendly park?

[Rex Buckingham]

Ben Brown up next? I'm here for that

The Tokyo Dome is only 328 feet down the line in both right and left field and it generally was known as a hitter-friendly yard in the past, though more recently it has been playing pitcher-friendly.

I should invest in one of them fancy google machines.

Ugh, you hate having a man on base for Ohtani.  Brown looking wild.

[Rex Buckingham]

That looked really awkward from Ian

[Rex Buckingham]

1 well-hit ball, 3 runs. Cubs. 

[Bertz]

Brown is RATTLED, ugh

[Jason Ross]

Brown a bit inconsistent. A bit unlucky, too. 75 mph EV hit for Smith (xBA is high but contact quality is low) and the error. 

[Jason Ross]

Nice job getting to the ball...wild, rookie throw.

[cl smooth]

That’s a throw that Shaw should not have made.

[Jason Ross]

Thing I'm a little bummed about - Brown has been working in other offerings outside of the fastball-deathball combo in the spring, but he's used the two exclusively today.

 

Then as I type that he K's up arguably the best hitter in baseball.

[jersey cubs fan]

I see Nico Hoerner’s lack of availability has already bit this team. 

[Bertz]

They just showed a group of Japanese Cincinnati Reds fans.  I am....intrigued.

Will Benson has that international appeal.

[Derwood]

Need to move this forum to the top of the page. No one will find it down here

[Jason Ross]

Well, there goes the dream of 162-0. 

[cl smooth]

Well, this is the archive forum.  Current day game threads are supposed to go in Cubs discussions, if that's what we're still going with.

SEASON OVER

[Irrelevant Dude]

It's so weird to be driving around early in the morning with a baseball game on the radio.
