Go Mariners! 4-0 vs the A's
King Felix: 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 12 K. 12 groundouts, 0 flyouts. Yeah I know it's the first game and the M's are doomed but it's nice to see them win the first game at home. Anyone else ever see FanGraphs? They have a live scoreboard that calculates Win Probability on the fly for every game. Also keeps stats for just about everything baseball.

Erik Bedard got roughed up for 6 runs, but I know he'll bounce back for a good if not great year. Ramon Hernandez got scratched for the opening series before the game, and Paul Bako is now the starting catcher. The bench is awful, Alberto Castillo, Freddie Bynum and Chris Gomez for the time being.
Hope I'm wrong but it's gonna be another long year and 4th place once again. |

He got 2 Ks to start things off. A lot better than "I decided I felt like being a BP pitcher today" Contreras. Fucking hell. 1 full inning and three batters faced in the second without an out recorded.. 8 runs, 7 earned for a 63.00 ERA

Hearing Pete Rose talk to the boys upstairs during the 7th inning was a nice Opening Day touch. He's so passionate about baseball in Cincinnati and remembers so much- we were the first team in 1869, he feels Cincinnati should still be the first game played of every season in Cincinnati. His favorite record he owns is not the untouchable 4,256; it is 1,978. That is the number of wins his teams earned when he played those games. He made this point: If a rookie were to come up this year, and for the next 19 years his teams won 100 games, he would still be 78 short of Pete.
Anyways, great win over the Cubbies. The Reds are oft predicted to finish last this year, but I am not discounting anybody in the NL Central to win it. The Cards have a shaky end of the rotation. You never want to wish for an injury, but I want to see Josh Hamilton get 300-400 plate appearances this year. Oh, and I already like Alex Gonzalez at SS. Great fielder. |

Yep.
The only thing that improved the outlook for the team during the first inning from my perspective is that we just had a hellacious storm go through Lexington and I lost satellite for about 10 minutes. They looked much better at that point.

I sat on the front porch and watched it blow in. Pretty cool. I'm kinda enjoying the weather here, in a bizarre way. Everyone thinks of Florida weather as nasty, but the worst T-storms I've seen in the past 5 or so years that weren't caused by a tropical storm or hurricane have been here in Lexington since last June. We generally didn't get these kinds of severe storms in Florida, at least not with the kind of winds I've seen. I'm glad the builder put an extra shelter room under our garage...

I really think that he and Chris Welsh (the Reds main TV color guy) are getting phased out with the hiring of Thom Brenneman and Jeff Brantley. But the guys have been so pro-Reds over the years that the ownership just can't bear to simply throw them out on their ass. I mean, Grande hosts the HOF induction for goodness sakes... but he's about as exciting and fun to listen to as a box of crickets.

Speaking of announcers, it was very strange to hear Don Sutton not calling a Braves game.

Agreed on all counts. I believe Grande was one of, if not the first anchor of sportscenter. He's just terrible though. I really do hope Thom and Brantley phase in over the course of this season to take over next season. To be honest, Welsh isn't hateful and I'm not sure if he wouldn't be okay with someone else. |

Florida should have pulled the trigger on a deal for Benitez when the Giants were trying to give him away.

Detroit's having a bit of a bullpen problem. Rodney throwing in the 80s and low 90s is not a good sign.

Fullpack2K escapes yet another one. I'm of the opinion that the Tigers should deal Marcus Thames for another reliever.

Thoughts on game 2 of the Reds/Cubs.
Man, hate to lose like that. Arroyo had a pretty decent outing, 9 k's but takes the loss. The hitters couldn't get it going, Junior and Dunn surprisingly the only consistent bats in the first two games of the season. Phillips/Encarnacion/Ross pissing me off so far. Why not PH LHB Hamilton for RHB Conine with 2 outs, bottom 9 against RHP Dempster? Doesn't make sense to me. We hit probably atleast 4 balls tonight that just died in the air and on a regular night at GABP would have been goners. That sucks. Soriano and Lee have not looked good for the Cubs at all so far. I didn't see that performance from Lilly coming. When he has control of it, his curve is pretty nice. |

Shorty, I didn't watch the game so I have to ask. How in the holy hell did Reds pitchers manage to walk Cubs hitters 6 times?
I gaurantee this is the only time all season Soriano, J Jones, and Izturis all walk in the same game. Last edited by Atocep : 04-04-2007 at 10:17 PM. |

Bad managing on Narron's part in the 8th. Should have never let Arroyo go back out after the seventh. You can see him starting to labor more. Especially, after getting one runner on, he should have never got to pitch to the next guy. Ross looks horrid. My fear I think is true. Kid was just a flash in the pan last year. His play on the squeeze play was possibly the worst defensive play we'll see all year. Just stupid. Perhaps Arroyo should get it but Ross has to realize he's seeing everything...he should know Lee wasn't going anywhere on 3rd. He's been equally awful at the plate. Encarnacion and Phillips will get it going. Ross I'm not sure about. How about Brenneman and Brantley though? Brantely annoyed me a couple of times but good God is it nice to have real announcers. They should give Grande his severence pay now and say c-ya. Last edited by rowech : 04-04-2007 at 10:34 PM. |

Neyer's got a blog item this morning discussing this:
http://www.zumsteg.net/cheatersguide...ring-the-ball/ The guy who writes The Cheater's Guide to Baseball says that K-Rod is using an illegal substance. Neyer believes he's right, but thinks it's just chalk.

The Royals may actually have a solid top of the rotation with Meche and Greinke. Hopefully Greinke has his personal issues straightened out because I had never seen a kid his age that knew how to use all of his pitches like he does.
Matsuzaka looks very solid in his first start. Only question, I think, was going to be his control and he's looked pretty sharp today. |

Now, maybe he's turned a corner, and maybe getting out of Seattle will be a boon for him; but be prepared for a few starts of great promise surrounded by a bunch of starts of frustration. His command simply hasn't been that great so far in his career - he nibbles, throws too many pitches and just doesn't have enough command of his fastball and curve to stay consistently ahead of hitters. His stuff is good, although a tad over-rated, and he has a tendency to tire in later innings. But hey, he wouldn't be the first pitcher to bloom later in his career, and he does have good enough stuff that he could be a solid pitcher, so maybe he's turning things around. |
