Opening day, and no GDT until the 3rd inning?

 

[calsnowskier]

Game 1 and both our injury replacements have shown us why they aren’t regular starters. Flores boots one and Estrada muffs the exchange.

Also game 1 and Belt gets a bunt double.

And just like that, MLB app is losing connection. On opening day.

Mother fu…

 

[LHG]

Ack, totally forgot the start time for the game!

Belt and Ruf with pretty much the only offense in the game thus far (unless you count the walks by Bart and Pederson).
Webb's pitch count is a bit high. Do you think he lasts past the 6th inning?

 

[LHG]

Bart!

You all are welcome.

 

[calsnowskier]

I am watching about 1 inning delay. I just saw Barts dong. OMG was that thing massive!








What?

 

[LHG]

Oh boy, Leone not off to a good start this year.

 

[calsnowskier]

Who here thought, 2 years ago, that our opening day starter for 2022 would be Logan Webb and that we would all feel that we have an upper echelon rotation?

 

[calsnowskier]

Oh boy, Leone not off to a good start this year.

I just watched the bomb he gave up, ruining Webb’s line.

God, I hope he doesn’t shit the bed further…

 

[calsnowskier]

Looks like I have caught up to “live”…

 

[calsnowskier]

Who are the alternate broadcasters this year?

Estes
Lopez
Winn (??)
Affeldt is gone at this point, right?
Aurillia (??)

Anyone else?

Fortunately, Tyler Rogers came in and cleaned the mess. Hopefully, he got his issues out in spring training.

 

[LHG]

Bart and Belt bombs, baby!

 

[calsnowskier]

 

[calsnowskier]

How much money will this whole Captain thing net for Belt by the time he retires?

Marketing genius.

 

[calsnowskier]

That call isn’t too surprising, given this is a Marquez-led crew…

 

[calsnowskier]

Microphones need to have some technical kinks worked out, but I like that they exist now.
