And away we go!
Game thread above.
Only the wealthy teams can have an expensive closer assigned to the 8th inning and if the Dodgers decide to spend less on the 7th and 8th innings perhaps a few teams will want to spend more on the 9th and try to pry League and Wilson away from the Dodgers. And surely Tampa Bay would like to welcome an old friend back into their outfield.
I wouldn’t hold my breath until someone tries to pry League away from the Dodgers (except maybe at the pro-rated minimum after a DFA).
If I held my breath I would turn Dodgers blue
Well, as they say…. You don’t want to peak too soon…. 😉
I will say this …
…
What was up with the approach at the plate in the 9th?… Ethier, Uribe, Ellis…
…
Take a perfect strike…
Take a perfect strike…
Swing at total piece of crap….
…
Nice.
Ha! I think its called “fundamentals”
Oh come on. Now Adrian kicks one?
I could do without Kruc and this fundamentals gibberish.
Same as game 2 in Aus, great start from Ryu, suspect bullpen
Ugh, Wilson.
Double ugh.
I’ve never liked him and still don’t, but he was good at the end of last season.
Well, we got AJ over at last.
Stuck with AM only here now. No Vin. ( I know, tonight’s is an ESPN broadcast, save it. ) New affiliate dropping out constantly as if buffering on a dial-up connection. This is the year i chose to cut the cord. Welp.
We dumped Comcast and don’t miss it at all, except that I can no longer see any A’s games (I couldn’t care less about Gnats game except when they’re playing the Dodgers. MLBTV works by far the greater part of the time. I really detest Steiner, though.
Nice escape!
Apparently this is Opening Night. Opening Day is tomorrow.
I sneer at such foolish distinctions.
*Opening Late Afternoon
Heh. Or “mid,” considering its 2:00pm start time out here.
I’ll call it according to PDT, where the game is taking place.
Your hour is lunchtime in Chile.
