MLB Random Thoughts - Opening Week Edition [4/4 - 4/8]

Nice job for Santana although he ran out of gas at the end. 2 hits, some walks but zero runs allowed.

In comes the pen.

lol you called it - Mets picked up a run on a Wright RBI base hit.

But, Ramirez gives up a triple to Pasternicky as Andres Torres re-injures his calf chasing it down. In comes Byrdak with a man on third and 1 out.

UPDATE: But wait! Byrdak strikes out the next two batters to get out of the jam.

Scott rolen with an early fail. I'm sure he'll make up for it with his bat.

Or with that gem of a play in the 2nd. :dtrain:

If Drew Stubbs has figured out how to bunt, look out

[FedEx227]

Dumb "baseball" play.

Why do you send the signal to go on contact with 1 out? A deep flyball allows you to tag up, a hit scores you, even a grounder to the right side may even allow you to score.

Surprised they didn't drop a sacrifice bunt while they were at it.

I'm pretty sure it moved when Stubbs dropped down that bunt hit.

Ian Desmond looked good today.

LOL at Jose Reyes not even trying once he got caught in a rundown. He's such a bitch.

I'm only serious about one of those. But Hanson working upper 80s and Heyward getting blown away by average fastballs is concerning.

Cleveland/Toronto is just going on and on...

I wonder if the Dodgers/Padres game will end before this one does.

EDIT: Arencibia just went yard with a 3-run HR. If the Indians lose this game, it is all on them, they had multiple opportunities with men on 3rd base to score and end the game...and blew it. Cleveland went all Cleveland on itself.
