mlb.tv apple tv app allows it!
5 Run Homer
4:50
Merryweather’s FB is 97, and his CH is 80. That’ll play
Kevin Goldstein
4:51
Merry go round in KC. Isbel RBI single in debut AB. 5-3 Texas, still loaded, one one. Gibson at 31 pitches.
Paul Sporer
4:51
Whattya think of Isbel, KG?
Kevin Goldstein
4:52
It's a 4th OF feel for me.
Taylor singles and it's 5-4, still loaded and Gibson is out of the game with one helluva ERA still TBD.
Milwaukee BeerJays
4:54
The real question remains: what are you fellas having for lunch?
Tony Wolfe
4:54
I have brats thawing to throw on a bit later, which I'm very excited about.
Kevin Goldstein

I had leftover pork and leek soup, and we're gonna get something delivered tonight.

I had half of a leftover italian sub from yesterday

I was trying to find a good comp for Lindor to see how he might age.  Closest I felt was Trammel.  Maybe Larkin.  Watcha think?
Kevin Goldstein
4:55
Wow. Julian Merrywhether with a fantastic tenth inning, striking out the side and the Jays come back and win 3-2.
5 Run Homer
4:55
Julian Merryweather is a bad, bad man

This seems like something I should open ZiPS for!
CoryMC

Blue Jays might have their super reliever if Merryweather can sustain that.
5 Run Homer
4:55
11 pitches and 3 Ks
Kevin Goldstein

And with the 1pm games over, I'm out. Thanks for hanging with us and I'm sure you'll be entertained the rest of the day!
Tony Wolfe
4:56
Now that the Yankees and Jays are over I can pull up the Rangers/Royals game to satisfy my morbid curiosity
Thanks for hanging out, Kevin!
Henry
4:57
Who had Merryweather getting the Jays first save?
Kevin Goldstein
4:57
I might come back for a bit during the late games. MIGHT.
Paul Sporer
4:57
Probably Collette, that's his dude all season
Take care, KG
Milwaukee BeerJays

ZiPS says Miguel Tejada
offensively
Henry

Royals just batted around in the first inning.
Jacob

Do you all think Beni is able to turn it around in KC (get back to being a really good fantasy OF)? He had a really strong start to his career.
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:58
I'm mildly optimistic
Zach

Have you ever seen what just happened in the Dodgers game

That Bellinger home run/non home run is crazy
LFC Mike
4:59
A question for the esteemed panel. There are still some here with drafts to do... best injured pitcher to take a chance on Soroka, Framber Valdez  or Gallen?
Dodger Fan
4:59
Bellinger passed Turner on the base paths because Turner thought Tapia caught the homer lol
Tony Wolfe
5:00
Haven't seen what Gallen's exact timeline is supposed to be, but I think Valdez and Soroka are supposed to pitch by the end of the month? Given that, I'd say Valdez.

dangit, my mom just called me to tell me she sees my trash can in the street. BRB (she lives across from me)
Tony Wolfe
5:00
Oh no!
Six Ten
5:01
Royals broadcast just said never before had both teams scored 4+ runs in the first inning on opening day. That's one of those weird stats that sounds hard to believe but then you remember there have only been a couple thousand opening day games ever.
Walnuts

I've seen the rankings, but what do you think about Jordan Montgomery this season?!
Tony Wolfe
5:03
Dan made a case for Montgomery as a breakout candidate in this post: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/szymborskis-2021-breakout-candidates-pitch...
