I swear to Christ, Lincecum better not blow this save.

Yes, Hawk. When you play four teams 45% of the time, those teams will come back on you more than anyone.

Veal's first pitch will say it all.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) Robin usually leaves guys in for a batter or two too long. Aces should do Ace things. I have no problem with it. I will say, Robin has a pattern of wanting the pitcher to get an ovation. (Or Coop does)

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) Hawk and Stone have been quality for once together today. How long until they are sick of each other? First 3-game losing streak?

Red Sox lose 2-1. Noice.

Eaton is an old soul baseball player. Any era player.

Tommy Hunter is the Orioles closer, and he's trying to blow his first save opportunity. I'd really like to see the Red Sox lose.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) De Aza = Bryce Harper. There you go. Just based on having quality at-bats in spring, De Aza deserved it today. I'll put that in the "Good Move" column for Ventura.

Back-to-back years on opening day, somebody hits two homers off Nolasco.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:34 PM) I'm surprised Abreu is still wearing #79. You usually get a much lower number when you make the team. Or maybe he likes 79. He wore 79 in Cuba. His mother chose it for him because it was unique. I just hope it doesn't mean he's really 35. I kid. I kid.

Anyone else tired of "latin hitter" stereotypes?

Fun game in Texas. 13-11 Phillies, going to the 8th.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Hawk says he got cramp on Gillaspie's double. How can you not love this man? It's definitely love/hate. Used to love him, now I hate him.

Is Abreu the new Frank? 2-1, 3-1, forget about it?

Bunts should only be used by Eaton for a hit and late in the game for one run. How hard of a concept is this?

The man crush for Eaton is already there.

Hawk gets off on lead off walks scoring. Good or bad.

Suzuki is officially a sox killer

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) Home run in his first at-bat Good story, wrong team.

De Aza had great at bats this spring. Keep it going.

Garcia is one of those guys you have to remember he's 22. He comes off older because he's been in the postseason, but he's still young.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Abreu is a strong man. He's one of those guys where the field and the fences aren't big enough for him. Incredible power. Gotta be emotional for him today. Same with Daniel Webb.

I wonder how that show after HIMYM will be? Probably familiar.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) Wind blowing out HARD to LF. Wouldn't be surprised to see Abreu's first bomb today with his plate coverage. Here's to hoping! Last year Nolasco gave up two on opening day to Bryce Harper. 4 would be nice. Abreu, Dunn, Garcia, and Flowers. Get off to a nice start.
