I realize now it's going to be 27, not 9, and my brain didn't really engage. But same idea

Does skenes’ delivery look different compared to last year? It looks more “turn-y”
Davy Andrews

Michael Rosen would call it rotational as opposed to linear. And I'm not sure; I'm mostly paying attention to the chat at this point.

Confession: I was mentally pronouncing Carson Benge "Beng-ay" not "Benj"

I was very happy when Nate Lowe, Josh Lowe, and Brandon Lowe stopped being in the same organization because I'd always forget which one of them couldn't pronounce his last name

Is there a way to remove the little flags on the site? It's blocking content
Matt Martell

He has no feel for any of his pitches. Looks really uncomfortable

Man, Paul Skenes is pitching like he'd be better off serving in the Air Force.
AvatarDan Szymborski

I wish you could sign players while a game was going on. It'd be fun if one of the team signed Ottavino when they needed an extra reliever live on mic

I still always think of that Mr. Plow headline when Brandon Lowe's name comes up

Pardon me; just going to ask Meg if she can take down that second article I wrote about Cruz's defense.
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:46
woof
Stieben Strausburg
1:46
also, who said Cruz is gonna be a good fielder
Davy Andrews
1:47
Nobody. Pretty sure nobody said that.
Matt Martell

It was me... I was wrong
Opening Day optimism!

That's consecutive NL Cy Young favorites beat up

An extra-base hit in the box score, an E-8 in reality.

Can Cruz play SS?

Beware Cristopher Sanchez
Skenes is not winning cy young

the speed at which Ottavino went from MLB clubhouse to Youtube to Regional Sports Network Studio to WBC player back to Sports Analyst, he basically was signed from the booth
2131, 1312
1:48
officially, this is the worst start of skenes career
Matt Martell
1:48
I have no idea how that was scored a double. But it is wild to look up at the scoreboard and see a 135.00 ERA for anyone, let alone Skenes
WBC starters

Not great, Bob

You can't expect to just see a sun in the sky

Apparently the Pirates new strategy of "we're gonna collect big hitters because defense is dumb" is not showing great immediate returns
Fan of Fangraphs

Just wanted to say that this is my first opening day as a baseball fan, started following baseball after getting an R&D internship this upcoming summer, and have been using fangraphs every day to get up to speed! Much love!

First time this year thinking, "This game is drunk."
Matt Martell
1:49
I don't think he is going to make it out of the first inning
And there's Don Kelly
Wow

as a Fried fan, can't relate to seeing my ace get roughed up on Opening day
AvatarDan Szymborski

This is like my first game of MLB the Show when I haven't played in months
Matt Martell

Mets fans are cheering for Skenes as he walks off the mound
AvatarJay Jaffe

Donnie decides that it's Skenes who's out of his element

Either this game is gonna end 16-13 or absolutely nothing is going to happen for the next 8 innings
