Forecast for opener:

 

 

Rain / Snow Showers 41°/31°

All right they chopped 8 degrees off of the forecast!

ozzie just said Number 44 is his closer on the pre-game show

...until he gets another "gut feeling"?

 

This time, I hope he lets Koch START the 9th. That way, when he gives up his customary first-batter hit, it won't let in a run!

four at bats against a lefty, four whiffs for Number 22.

 

Not a good trend

Can someone do PBP again today???

wonder if Graffanino will blame that error on Kenny Williams

I'll start one

 

Uribe grounded to short.

 

Jose Valentin whiffed on four pitches

 

Maggs safe at first on Graff error

full count on Frank

i dont understand Olivo starting. I mean yes, he is our future catcher. But when a guy has a game like Sandy did Monday, you gotta play the hot bat. But maybe thats just me.

frank has fouled off three pitches, including one foul ball home run to left

Considering the weather, maybe his knees were bothering him...

another foul ball to right

 

great at bat by Frank

another foul ball

and ... you guessed it, another foul ball

foul ball that would have been a double to right

 

damn

FWIW he is Loz's catcher.

yep, one more

Pena goes to the mound

 

evidently, he doesn't like what is going on

Frank looks determined this year. He's had some good ABs so far.

that was close

jammed him, but fouls it to first base line, Sweeney drops it for another foul ball

FOUL BALL

wow he's eating up pitches...

FOUL BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Mys with 27 pitches in the inning, 16 to Frank

this is great
