Starters get days off, which is why there are backups. I don't know why it's a hard concept. Signs seem to point more to Alberto making the roster than not at this juncture.

Feels that way to me too.

Doesn't look like there is a tv feed for this one, at least not on MLB.tv

The execution leaves a lot to be desired

At least the commentators aren't holding back

Angel Hernandez umpiring WBC games is a travesty...

The big leagues are an entirely different animal, and no team is going to put a rookie who has never previously faced big league pitching in the middle of their order on Opening Day. It just doesn’t happen. All of your hand wringing and brow beating doesn’t change that. Long nonsensical diatribes of a message board don’t either. Oscar Colas might have all of the talent in the world, but he hasn’t proven himself on the biggest stage yet. Any team that has any clue to how to handle talent, get the most out of players, and knows how to win, knows to ease kids in and put them in the best spots to succeed early. I don’t know why this is such a hard concert for you, or why you refuse to acknowledge conventional wisdom here. It really isn’t that difficult though.

This.

TA scores on a sac fly.

TA rbi triple to the wall

Yes it did

So much for hoping for a competitive game

Especially in what looks to be a lopsided game.

TA works a walk
