That seems less than ideal.

Alex Eisert

2:22

Saving that for next week!

David Fletcher's Power Swing

Who is the worst opening day starter this year?

Davy Andrews

2:24

Hello. I am a Nationals fan.

Davy Andrews

2:24

Fried looks like he's grabbing his left hammy.

Davy Andrews

2:25

And he's out after three and a third. Hopefully it's very minor.

Alex Eisert

2:26

The only explanation for him giving up a run to your Nats ;)

Alex Eisert

2:24

Roberto Perez with the single against a dealing Cole! Guess that's why he started instead of Bart.

Dan Szymborski

2:24

I have to admit I do like the Brewers blue alternates

Oddball Herrera

2:26

Speaking of uniforms, not usually one to gripe but the new Twins hat is pitchforks and torches material

Davy Andrews

2:26

I'm not a huge fan, but I know people who like it.

Dan Szymborski

2:26

It's easier to root for the Brewers as they've transitioned in recent years towards the Morally Superior 80s Uniforms

Christian

2:26

As a Mariners fan I havent been this excited for Opening Day in at least 15 years

Jorginho

2:27

adding megill? verlander's gone

Alex Eisert

2:27

Definitely. I already have him on a couple teams. Ignore the spring numbers.

Oddball Herrera

2:27

It looks like the Twins stole the Marlins' old hat and put a star on it!

Alex Eisert

2:27

And for the jersey, they took the Angels' city connects!

Craig

2:27

Hey everyone from the UK, this is my first season as a fan. I found baseball during the last games of the WS, fell deep, been waiting all offseason for this!

Davy Andrews

2:27

Welcome, Craig!

5 Run Homer

2:27

Disagree, the new Twins hat with the M (and the whole new uniform set) rules

2:27

This Cubs lineup has to have one of the largest ever disparities in defense up the middle vs. at the corners

Davy Andrews

2:27

Just enjoy Treric Hosmini.

I am all about the classic unis. Still wishing the Broncos and Bucs could go back to their old ones. Maybe this is just what happens when you get old

The Gyorko Store Called

2:28

Arquimedez Pozo was the first pilot Obi-Wan approached in the Mos Eisley cantina.

5 Run Homer

2:28

Speaking of Star Wars names

Mikey

2:29

I'm from the UK and discovered baseball in 2012. When Anthony Volpe was 10 ffs

Derek

2:29

I do appreciate the mid-atlantic battle for least inspiring opening day starter - Patrick Corbin vs. Kyle Gibson.

Alex Eisert

2:29

There's no battle there — Gibson is easily the better pitcher. Phillies just messed him up with their bad infield defense last year.

Davy Andrews

2:30

So what you're saying is the Nats win. We'll take it where we can get it.

Davy Andrews

2:29

Kyle Gibson wiht a 50% K rate so far.

Lorenzo

2:29

Could Judge end up getting the Bonds treatment with IBB and BB this year?

Davy Andrews

2:30

People think about IBB too differently now.

Dan Szymborski

2:29

Gotta be Corbin. Gibson is a major leaguer at least, if a meh o ne.

Borg

2:30

Any interest in Michael Grove while he's the 5th starter?

Dan Szymborski

2:30

Not personally, but Dodgers are creepy good at finding performance

Dan

2:30

I have that problem with the Astros and Dodgers. I don't want them to make the playoff but also they have some fun and good players that I don't want to root against.

SH, Jr.

2:30

2023: Return of the Pitch-Out?

Oddball Herrera

2:30

Yeah I was going to throw in Grienke as least inspiring opening day starter but I'd probably be more comfortable trotting him out there than Corbin
