I have to keep reminding myself that's not who we're talking about when we talk about Cruz
Ben Clemens
5:35
great broadcast statistic there, Mikolas hasn't recorded a groundball out today

At least Degrom the rangers have scored more runs in a Degrom start than the Mets did his last 20 starts
Ben Clemens
5:36
I like to think you mean in the last 20 starts combined
Six Ten
5:36
I hadn't really considered until today that getting your bullpen warmed up in time is also going to be harder with the pitch clock.
Prototypical TBS Kid
5:36
I sure did
Ben Clemens
5:36
Pitchers and catchers need to learn to have their pitchcom malfunction more strategically

What is Buxtons value if he has to DH a ton?
Kyle Kishimoto
5:38
he has a 146 ops+ in the past 3 years, i'd say a lot of value
Appa Yip Yip
5:38
I've been watching baseball for an hour and a half and I'm already getting mad at the home plate ump
Ben Clemens
5:38
welcome back!
Ben Clemens
5:38
Vladdy got a little adventurous on the basepaths there
Leo Morgenstern
5:38
and anything that keeps Buxton in the lineup is a good thing! Especially with Michael A Taylor to play center
Ben Clemens
5:38
I would suggest not doing that if I were his manager
Vin
5:39
Mikolas is going to have nightmares tonight about ground balls to right field
Appa Yip Yip
5:40
Counterpoint: let Vladdy run
Kyle Kishimoto
5:40
ah so that's why teams don't like letting arraez play up the middle
B'ryce Szymbobski
5:41
LOL, Pinch hitting for Joey Gallo on opening day is... not a great sign
Kyle Kishimoto
5:41
its against a lefty with a considerable platoon split, what's the purpose of having 4 guys on the bench if they're never gona get in the game
Zach
5:42
Donny. Barrels.

5:43
I'm still mad that I got sniped on Daulton Varsho in my home league snake draft this year
Kyle Kishimoto
5:43
getting 150 starts a season out of the catcher position with only one dude is like a cheat code lol
Prototypical TBS Kid
5:44
Skip Carey still making Braves references.  How many announcers are homers for other teams
Ben Clemens
5:44
I'll allow it if he's comparing middle relievers to Max Fried
Byron Denniston
5:44
Thoughts on Stroman’s starts?
Kyle Kishimoto
5:44
pretty good, got a ton of strikes with the breaking ball. command was just decent and he wasn't getting chases but 15 whiffs is still solid
B'ryce Szymbobski
5:46
I REALLY wanna believe that Bohm is gonna raise that LA to like 15 degrees and just rake this year. Any idea if there's a way to see la for spring training?
Ben Clemens
5:46
It doesn't work very well b/c only some stadiums are outfitted for it, but you can check at baseball savant
I'll find a quick link
16.6 degrees, oh baby
Leo Morgenstern
5:48
Particularly impressive considering it was 1.6 degrees last spring
Vin
5:47
"It was the pitch-com I tell ya!" - pitchers every time they get called for pitch clock violations this year
Kyle Kishimoto
5:48
i would like to point out that brendan donovan had a barrel earlier, 109/15. my narrative is coming true
Yordan

Trying out the MLB Big Inning on MLB.TV. Has me wondering if there's a future where they partner with a gambling company to link your bets to games and do personalized game switching similar to this.
Kyle Kishimoto
5:49
please don't give them any ideas
Yeah Well Hiura Towel
5:49
Nola/deGrom did not turn into dual pitching performance we all thought it would
Ben Clemens
5:50
Wait the Phillies are LOSING?
Leo Morgenstern
5:51
Phillies twitter is ready to throw Nola to the wolves
