Bad sign that Espada did not bring in higher leverage reliever in the 5th when the bases were loaded?
Davy Andrews

I hear you, but I think they've been pretty clear that they like their big three in the seventh, eighth, and ninth when possible.

Sink cost is when you buy a really nice sink and you keep paying a plumber because it's too expensive to throw out even though it's no longer a nice sink.

Barring injury I would say that Betts. Ohtani and Freeman are virtual locks.
5 Run Homer

The Amed Rosario Rays Breakout is off to a good start
Davy Andrews

As it was foretold.

Was earlier today the last time the Royals will be .500 or better this season.  I think it might have been.

Baseball games are not always decided in the last few innings. The best use of the second best reliever is as a fireman in a high leverage situation regardless of the inning.

Maikel Garcia is the the best baseball player ever?

Conforto says NOT YET
Tim Tebow's Thunder Thighs

I'm sad that my brother in quads, Spencer Strider, doesn't get to pitch today.
Davy Andrews

Speaking of which.
Death, taxes,.......

Padres hold off Giants, so we're down to two games
(Pirates/Marlins and Yankees/Astros)
6:50
Torres made a bad throw even for being flat on your back. Two on for Astros

D. Lesko + A Vaughn for Gorman in dynasty?

Bang bang play at the plate and Dubon out!
Matt Martell
6:52
Probably going to be reviewed. Nice slide by Dubon. Not sure if Trevino tagged him
Davy Andrews
6:52
This is why you sign Juan Soto. For the defense.

SOTO

Hard to overturn it since the angles we've seen are meh

With the Angels and Trout's performance I propose a new stat: Thunderstomp To Nowhere or TTN, which represents an 8 WAR, 40 HR season with less than a 1.5 RBI:HR ratio on a team that missed the playoffs.  One guy providing massive value, with little team support, for a team that ended up going Nowhere. example  that was Troy Glaus' 2000?  47 HR, 102 RBI, 1.008 OPS, 8.2 WAR, team record of 82-80.

I love this! So specific and beautiful
Matt Martell

I don’t think he tagged him, but the angles are bad and it’s hard to tell for sure

upheld so two outs

Are those sweat or rain stains on the grey Yankees jerseys? Either way, not a great look as a pile-on to Jersey-gate. Are we saying that yet?

May I complain about the Red Sox having their "opening day" at 10:00 at night (Boston time)? This really doesn't seem very celebratory to me (and yeah, feel free to joke about what's to celebrate this year etc.).

Nice shot of the players reaction instead of focusing on the umpire.
Black and Orange
6:57
Manfred Man appears on opening day
Nat

hopefully pirates and marlins will keep us going until the cubs game starts
Davy Andrews

Does anybody else think it's weird that the ball person in Miami is just in shorts and a t-shirt?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Feels very FLorida
There was some real greed there
