wow, way to get your first ever hit
Baseball!
9:23
The 1B ump was not confident in that call
Ben Clemens
9:23
That was a good call, but even if it weren't, I don't think the Cubs should have been allowed to challenge
for debut hits, let em stand

The commentators last inning when Belli drove in a run were harping on putting the ball in play instead of selling out for power, but uh looks like homers are nice too
Ben Clemens
9:23
runs are good

9:24
Holy shit Langford is so much faster than I realized
2 Dads Playing Catch

Ben why would you dare to believe in the mariners this year
Ben Clemens
9:24
Look, I just like the team
Kyle Kishimoto

i wish baseball savant published h-1st times for individual runs
Baseball!

nothing makes me feel like a baseball curmudgeon more than bemoaning the loss of SPs… even on opening day with all the “aces” and several strong performances… one pitcher went more than 6 inning
Kyle Kishimoto
9:27
counterpoint: shorter starts means you get to see more guys get in the game and that's good
Baseball!
9:26
And nothing makes me feel more progressive than loving batflips and homer celebrations

mark leiter jr one of the low key nastiest relievers in baseball the last couple years
Binger
9:29
Feels like we've reached a historical low of juniors currently on active MLB rosters
Ben Clemens
9:30
Man, I have no sense of this but i would not have guessed that

Does Victor Scott II count?
Ben Clemens
9:30
I'm on the road, so I can't check our database easily, but seems like something to write down and then answer hwen i Have absolutely no idea what to write about
Kyle Kishimoto

baseball is a sport that has tons of kids of players in the bigs, but no clue if any more or fewer are being named after their dads nowadays

9:31
just wait for enrique bradfield jr binger
5 Run Homer
9:32
I don’t know if we have fewer juniors than usual, but we probably have the best juniors ever
Vladdy, Acuña, Tatis, and Robert is a pretty damn good quartet

Time for me to call it a night. Got up this morning before sunrise and am now toast. Goodnight all... and happy baseball.
Ben Clemens
9:32
Goodnight David, have a good one

Most projection systems are middling on Leiter but Pecota absolutely loves him. Who would have thought a few years ago he would likely finish his career with more WAR than his cousin!
Ben Clemens
9:32
I think I'd still take Jack in this one, but yeah, it is much closer than I ever thought it'd be

david cone said bong on national tv
Ben Clemens
9:33
What a world we live in
Saladpans

"For debut hits, let em stand" - there should be more rules in place for these types of things.
Ben Clemens
9:34
the rare time I like unwritten rules is when they protect cool moments
5 Run Homer
9:35
I haven’t really noticed the see-through pants today, but I can definitely tell you Josh Sborz is wearing Nike underwear
Ben Clemens
9:35
I concur lol
Baseball!
9:35
I gave the see through pants no thought until
9:36
… that was said
Saladpans
9:36
Now I can't stop staring at Sborz's thighs.

I’m standing in line for Pliny the Younger on Opening Day. This has been a lifeline
Ben Clemens
9:37
Oh wow where at?
I was actually at the taproom in Santa Rosa over new years and bought Jay some Pliny the Elder
9:38
and my wife and I decided we're gonna go next year
