Man...This Cespedes guy is a monster. Just checked my fantasy team and saw he hit another homer. He looks like a guy who will hit 30+ easy.

EDIT: Glad he did too because it lets Brandon League get a chance at a save.

So Dee Gordon is amazing.

Re: 4/4 - 4/15 Game Discussion Thread

I think I heard Nick Markakis was hitting .714 or something.

I doubt that holds up.

If he played 162 games against the Twins, he'd hit about .500 and smash the Bonds record.

Carlos Pena is on pace for 81 home runs and 486 RBI.

Fernando Rodney - 81 W and 81 SV.

I must be dreaming. The Mariners just put together two straight games with 13 hits? And scored 7 and 8 runs in those games?

Going to be so much fun watching this team this year. Jackson is looking really good and then of course Cabrera, Fielder and Avila just blasting Beckett was great to see. The Pen was great as well, just too bad we are losing Fister for a few weeks because he was looking strong.

So the Tigers looked alright today. The atmosphere was crazy, the largest crowd ever for game 2 of the season. I parked wayyyyy out in like crackhead central and witnessed like 8 murders on way to the stadium, that's how tough parking was. And let me tell you, the beggers are creepier and creepier the farther you get from Comerica Park.

I can't say enough about Jackson right now. He's working the count, drawing walks, squaring up the ball, he looks like he will have a monster year at the leadoff spot. Avila looks just as good as last year. All his hits the opposite way. And Cabrera made have had the best all around game of his career today. 2 homers, but he was great in the field. A nice playing running in on a chopper, the nice dive, and a few routine plays. Really needed a game like today to gain some confidence at third again.

This is the most excited I've ever been for a season for any team in any sport. These guys have a lot of fun out there and I can't wait to see them try to bring home a world series.

The one downside is Fister is the 15 day DL, but it's alright. Below probably earned himself that next open start they way he looked today.

I was there too, it was an incredible atmosphere for a game. And we got to see a HR derby. And Fister looked good until his "left side injury", but Below looked excellent in relief of him too. My question is who takes the Fister starts while he recovers? Do they push up the 5 starter and call up a Turner or Oliver? Or do they pull Below out of the pen and stretch him out? Interesting to follow as a fan.

As for the game, it was a blast. There was this one moron who had a little too much alcoholic beverage and was trying to get everyone in my section to do the wave. Instead of ignoring him, I had to be "that guy" who trolled him pretty hard. It was classic...every 5 minutes he kept picking up his phone and calling someone, I'm assuming he was calling his bros to come back him up.

Anyways lol...not gonna lie, when Valentine pulled Beckett I had to yell at him "Hey Beckett, you really should go drink a beer in the clubhouse to forget about today...oh wait, can't do that anymore!"

Cabby for gold glove Seriously though, all those people who thought he couldn't play third should take a look at that diving play he made. In-freaking-credible

If only it were against a Major League team.

They showed how Jackson changed his leg kick or something. As long as he gets on base, I'm happy. Having Laird should allow for Avila to stay healthy for the year.

With his performance, Below probably earned Fister's spot in the rotation until he's healthy.
