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

[Cody]

Indians blow another game within the pen. Masterson and Jimenez have looked good thus far, but our pen can't seem to hold leads, or teams for that matter. He had a no no through 7. I liked what I saw.

[FUSE]

CESPEDES HITS ANOTHER JACK!!! Dude is a monster

[Rudi]

I kinda expected a game like that. Marlins were due to start hitting the ball eventually. Shit happens. COZART doe

[Goober]

Aramis Ramirez blows. Greinke was tagged with two hits that never should of happened because of this incompetent fucks defense; and he looked completely lost at the plate.

Wainwright's breaking stuff looked good, but this is what happens when you play 2012 NL Cy Young winner Zack Greinke.

[Goober]

Lannan for Heyward, straight up?


Think about it ...


In all seriousness, it's pretty obvious that Heyward got rushed to the majors. He should have had at least 300 PA in Triple A before they called him up. It's one of the reasons I have no problem with the Nationals taking their time with Harper

Dude stop. The Nationals sent Lannan to AAA he has no trade value.

Rays lineup today vs Yankees:

Jennings cf, Pena 1b, Longoria 3b, Joyce lf, Zobrist rf, Scott dh, Keppinger 2b, Molina c, S-Rod ss

I like keeping Pena in the #2 spot with Longo behind him. Nice to see Joyce stay in the cleanup spot after a well-played game last night.

[Mogriffjr]

Cespedes hit a BOMB...wow...

[RyanLeaf16]

"Los" with another homerun to put the Rays up 2-0.

He is having a great start to the year and is just taking advantage of the fastballs he is seeing.

[RyanLeaf16]

...and Luke Scott is hurt. d2d injury, but, still, he was nursed through ST and started yesterday and now is out again.

[RyanLeaf16]

"Los" just jacked another one.

EDIT: Joe West stopped Pena and said there was fan interference. The glove of the fan who caught the ball was just above the fence, but, the ball's trajectory had it leaving the yard regardless. They didn't even review it after Joe Maddon asked them too. However, last night, when Longo went yard Girardi and Swisher bitched about it and they went and reviewed it. The least Joe West and the crew could do was look at it. In slow motion it is so close that I could not believe that Joe West saw it clearly in real-time.

He's always had a hard-on for fucking us over though, so I guess I should not be shocked.

#Indians Starters ERA the first 3 games is 1.23 (22.0IP, 8H, 3ER).

[strahanfan92]

If theres any positive for the Cardinals Woy, Braun probably would have had 2 HRs if he was still jewcing.

Make that 3 lol

[Leftwich]

I won't ever give the orioles credit so i'm assuming the Twins are just that bad.

[Cody]

Indians better hold on to this lead..

[RyanLeaf16]

Keppinger goes fucking yard on Boone Logan. That's why AF is the best GM in the game - brings in a under the radar guy that can make an impact. This guy makes contact when he swings. Rarely do you see a swing/miss from this guy. He handles lefties well and he just hammered that pitch from Logan.
