We need to start getting some runners on. Haven't done anything with the bats.
Rough way to start but it was good to see CC settle down after the second inning. Teixeira looked better than he had all spring and Nuno and Betances were just great in relief.
It's only game 1 of 162 guys, long way to go.
I think CC will be fine. It doesn't matter if you throw 94 or 89 if you can't locate your fastball. It's not CC has such a great track record on opening day
I just didn't like what I saw from him. I saw this in spring training the only difference is in ST he didn't see a full lineup to hurt him. He will be an Avg pitcher for us this year. He will be no where close to a #1. He will be more of a #3 pitcher for us. Lets hope Tanaka can take over the #1 spot or Nova. Kurodo is a Perfect #2 for. Whoever the #4 for will be a strong #4 and if Pineda stays healthy he will be a strong #5 for us.
No one liked what they saw from him in the first two innings, but after that he was much better. One game is too small of a sample to make any kind of judgement. Same with Teixeira, you can't take last night and assume he's back to his old self.
