Just finished my Opening Day game against the Yankees. We won 2-1 with a walk-off sac fly from Luke Scott.
We took an early 1-0 lead with a Sean Rodriguez home run off Sabathia. Everything was cool on the mound for David Price as he finished 7.0 innings with 6 K's and 0 R's.
Top of the 9th, 1 out, Still up 1-0 and Fernando Rodney has a 2-2 count against Teixeira and gives up the booty with a solo shot. I brought in Farnsworth who finished the Yankees in the 9th.
Bottom of the 9th, Zobrist leads off with a single, BJ Upton hits a double into the gap, Longoria is intentionally walked. Bases loaded, no outs, Carlos Pena K's for the 3rd time in the game. Luke Scott comes in, hits a deep fly ball and it allows Zobrist to tag-up for a 2-1 win.
Here is the lineup I used (it changes just about every game for me)
1) 2b - zobrist
2) cf - upton
3) 3b - longoria
4) 1b - pena
5) rf - scott
6) ss - rodriguez
7) dh - keppinger
8) c - molina
9) lf - jennings
I sat Joyce due to his issues against LHP's (Scott and Pena aren't great either, but, they were better options), which led to Keppinger getting the start at DH.
