None of these count if right . Waiting til they were 0-2 is like stealing signs. But I will put forth that none of you will be right.

Always nice to get that 1st win out of the way. Onto bigger and better things. Great job Gio .

So it appears some of us are smarter than Ricky wanting the OF D changed before the inning started.

Yea now when no one can finish what they start you 're probably right. No more guys left around pitching much more than 200 innings let alone 300.

Let's give Gio a hand for carrying the no no into the 7th.

Indeed

Batting .500 so can't be 6-11. 6 for 12 ?

Woo hoo that might seal my Alonso PTC but i won't care if Moncada gets another AB and hits a HR.

Real nice

No one say you know what. Shhh

Maybe you should stop reading body language.

Maybe PTC would get better participation if it was pinned on the main page then archived after the game like game threads are. But in case no one thinks this makes sense you get to PTC by clicking on Home then scrolling down til you see the PTC thread . Also since we get an influx of new posters we should remind them and everyone that PTC is only position players so don't pick pitchers since I don't see that rule posted anywhere.

Let's not forget we need a lot more than Moncada, Eloy , and starting pitching. A few bullpen arms sort of comes in handy in winning many games as was illustrated in the 1st 2 games this season . I don't expect perfection but maybe we're 1-1 instead of 0-2 if the BP is just good not great instead of mediocre to poor.

I've been around here a while and I still never understood why game threads get archived so quickly. it's not like there are many quality topics now to post in that I haven't already posted. What's the hurry ? I think once a game thread is at the bottom of the 1st page then it can be archived especially a long thread like the opener. where there is an off day the next day.

Good response . Tony's been here a long time and gets respect but sometimes even the respected posters get a little nuts and deserve the "old man yells at cloud" award.

I didn't read the thread til after the game. You get the award for the 1st Cy Keller I was expecting to see.

I kinda like the Whatever it Takes as a rallying cry .

Everyone has a better season than last year provided they stay healthy. Madrigal , Robert, Rutherford, Sheets, Gonzalez, Adolfo, Collins, Zavala ,Bush, Sosa , Walker big years. Cease huge year. Hansen MMMBOP.

However many it takes to make the playoffs and win the world series.

Buy a coffee maker from Goodwill and pay $5 for a can of coffee . I just saved you about $140 month. Good luck with your rent.

Moncada is cool at 2 or even 3 against a RHP then Abreu Eloy then Yonder. I like Abreu and Eloy back to back both in RBI situations. Yonder I see see more as the rally killer with low BA , DP or K more likely than with Eloy. Yonder has good pop just need a higher batting average in the 4 and 5 spots to maximize RBI opportunities.

So why do we have 2 Tatis threads and no Eloy threads ? I know we just had a long one because of the contract but yeesh . Let's love our current prospects , the ones who aren't injured anyway .

15 home and road though I expect a rain/snow out or 2 S no matter who it's against I'll just say 15 and 15. But maybe we sure be predicting Eloy' stats after 30 games. I'll say 6 HR's and leave it at that.

Shocker.I'll be surprised if he does well. Seems like a year too early .
