In a word........ -
I don't mind the aggressiveness given the inning, score, and wind blowing in.
-
"Glass Joe" Jimenez might be headed to the IL, 3 games into the season.
-
First TOOTBLAN of the season?
-
Really nice AB by Tauchman. Ten pitches and down 1-2 before Singling..
-
Pretty significant to get that first run (or 3) with some bad weather very near by.
-
What a disaster by the Rockies!!! LOL!!!
-
Surprised the Rockies haven't laid down a bunt attempt or two to test Morel.
-
How many pitches/batters does Shota get? He's at 75 pitches, and Blackmon is up third in the top of the 6th.
-
Count 'em, 6 Ks thru four innings. Wonder if that white plastic floating past home plate grabbed KB's attention a bit.
-
Happ is the most shaky-looking former Gold Glove recipient I've ever seen.
-
Another loud out, this one to the warning track, by Blackmon. Ump missed the previous pitch for a strike on the outside corner. Count of 1-2 turned into 2-1.
-
The error and a 13-pitch K jumped his pitch count up a bit. But it's still in the average-ish range.
-
And his first 1-2-3 inning! Cool as the other side of the pillow!
-
And there's his first K !!
-
And let the Shota era begin!!!!!
-
Ballgame is on MLB Network (free) for those not in Chicago or without MLBTV. Also, many cable/sat TV providers will provide the game for free this week. Pretty certain Xfinitiy does.
-
I went to the second game of the season against the Brewers in 2008. Day game, sunny but cold, wind blowing in, Lilly on the mound, It was all Brewers, and I froze my ass off. Sat right behind home plate, about 12-15 rows up. Hot chocolate was the "beer" of the day.
-
Agree. Not much fun taking turns, game by game. Was always nice to have a little "standings" set up, at least early in the season. See who the "hot" posters are when a losing streak needed to be broken, etc.
-
You got the first win, I suggest you continue until a loss. I'd rather not be Mr. Jinxy. Plus, my concern is that I'll start another game thread only to be "bogarted" again by you like earlier today!! 😝
