もちろん

Shouldn't Canha be leading off? I thought he was a very good OBP guy....

[Sports_Freak]

So....doing the math, if a game gets rained out in NY next week, wouldn't that allow Skubal to start opening day in Detroit? If so, rooting for rain!

[Motor City Sonics]

That's a nice start

No arguments here.

Still worred about Spencer?

To start the game, yes.  But he got his glove into the Opening Day game.  And today’s lineup gets all of the position players some game time in the first two games.  I like that given the roster and the flexibility within it.  Get guys active.

[Motor City Sonics]

This....................is..............beautiful

[Motor City Sonics]

Hopefully the rookie can keep this going.............

[casimir]

Darn good throw from RF to nail Carpenter at 3B.  I don’t mind that attempt at the extra base there.

[Motor City Sonics]

Kid smoked it and Canha ran smart.        

[casimir]

Good comment from Monroe about Canha’s running route to 2B.

And now he steals 3B?  This is fun.

[casimir]

A’ight Maeda, you got 3.  Shut ‘em down.

[gehringer_2]

3 runs per inning = 27

I'd be good with that

See, I’m good with keeping up the shutouts. Chicago expects to be not good this season, so might as well help them meet their expectations.

Ump called a clear ball a strike on the first pitch, Tork turned and it checked with the ump. Then he decided he better be willing to swing out of the zone, and promptly singled on the next pitch, also close but out of the zone but reachable. I hope to see Tork get just a little less selective early in the count, he gets himself behind more often than he has to. He can take more base hits on pitches like that if he is willing.

Sooo, is Maeda supposed to be good? All his stuff looks very meatball-ish...at least we may see Manning or Jobe up sooner rather than later

Seems someone here forgot to send Robert the memo.

Well, I suppose they were likely to score at some point.  Hat tip to Robert, he extended the at bat to get to something he could handle.  Sometimes baseball is baseball.
