Game Thread Game #1 Nats vs Yanks

[BigDaddyAl1973]

gio with a stantonian bomb to start the year

 

[cagedlion]

I guess Stanton feels better......let’s hope it lasts for 60 games!

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

boy did cole get a call from hernandez there

 

[cagedlion]

Cole gives a run right back....bottom of 1st. NY 2 Was 1

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

well inning 1 in the books....it may be a short season..it may have some dumb rules..it may have 16 playoff teams..i don't give a shit..its sports..its something to watch and to talk about instead of infections and deaths..

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

And sanchez is in perfect form...swing and a miss low and away

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Not going to get angry about all the k's after all Max has more than anyone since 2012

How is angel hernandez working the national opener behind home plate. Is baseball serious

I believe they mentioned that the original crew chief opted out for the season

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Wow..Wade with the wheels..that's inexcusable that run scores from that hit

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Mistake on my part..it was 2 outs when wade scored..still need to take a look at the replay didnt think that ball was hit down the line that the outfielder couldn't have made a play to not even warrant a throw home

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Both pitchers settling in..this could be a quick next 3 innings

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Wade our new MVP...Phil rizzuto would have been proud

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Nice rip by stanton taking that outside pitch to right field...

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

no fans for stanton is just like his Miami days

 

[mrmel29]

Hope this is last game Gardner batting fifth

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

They will probably put hicks there when DJ is back

 

[mrmel29]

Nice to have an ace again!!

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Could they have butchered explaining the new rain delay rule...wtf

 

[mrmel29]

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

AROD been waiting all summer to say dont you know cano...oh brother

 

[mrmel29]

Amazing on opening day there are no other games going that they could have switched off too. Can’t take much more listening to a roid

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Who did the gutters at National Park..Att Vandelay?

 

[cagedlion]

Watching Sanchez & Gardner at the plate is like watching my grand children trying to hit a
whiffle ball!

Muted the TV, a-roid is too full of himself & monotonous. Too irritating.

Where’s Lillie?

 

[yankeesince59]

Personally, I don't blame anyone "opting out" for the year...this is not baseball as we know it...I noticed Buster Posey was one who said "thanks but no thanks" and again, I don't blame him one bit.

A freaking 16 team playoff system with the first round of playoffs being a "best of 3" series?...fuck that.

Where’s Lilly?

If I know "Diamond Lil", she's about as knee deep into the vino as I am.

 

[yankeesince59]

And fwiw, Al, it's great to have you back...we were a bit worried.

 

[Lillie]

If I know "Diamond Lil", she's about as knee deep into the vino as I am.

That would be correct.

 

[Messiah717]

I can't believe they haven't called this game.

 

[Messiah717]

Game called. Yankees win.
