Terrible weekend of baseball

Mariners doing their best to choke another game away

ORIOLES do what they do to New York.

Cannot figure out how to beat the Red Sox at all, but they make life hell for the Yankees.

After opening day, thought this season might be a different story, but notsomuch.


I do have to ask, with arguably the best bullpen in baseball at Boone's disposal, and Britton warm, why is Tarpley anywhere near the mound in a 1 run game?

What's with these 635 starts @nynasty

Didn't they do this last year too at the beginning of the season? I think they're trying to avoid too many innings after the sun goes down.

I see it's expected to be a balmy 43 degrees at first pitch.

Maybe they did. I probably just forgot lol

I know the Rays started doing it 2 years ago

Rays take 3 of 4 from the Astros. Great start to the year. Bullpen didn't give up a run the entire series.

Rays treat the Astros like the Orioles treat the Yankees.

#1 starter on the shelf until May

Closer and #1 set up man can't seem to find their velocity

Starting CF on the shelf until ??

And now the 3 hitter out for who knows how long.


Better April then September, I guess...?

Hey! How about that Red Sox rotation!

Looking as good as the Indians’ lineup, but gayer.

Didja know:

Chris Sale (3 IP, 7 ER), Nathan Eovaldi (5 IP, 6 ER), Eduardo Rodriguez (4 1/3 IP, 5 ER) and Rick Porcello (2 2/3 IP, 7 ER) were all tagged for six or more runs in their debuts, becoming the first Red Sox quartet to start the season in such dubious fashion since at least 1902, according to the Boston Globe

Yeah, Sale looks like such shit, he must have thought it was the second half of the season, or he was facing the Indians.

Happy Opener Day from Tropicana Field! Ryne Stanek will open the game for the Rays followed by Ryan Yarbrough tonight out of the bullpen. Yarbrough went 16-6 last year in this role.
