Poor showing today for the offense, for a ST game for sure. Oh well game 2. Oakland tomorrow let's pound those guys!

No sense in getting stressed about any results. Especially this early in spring training.

Ticket sales start at 9. I wanted to go to opening day. I think it's already sold out. Looks like I will see Hamels/Perez?

Nothing wrong with that if you're lucky enough to go. I live too far away. Nothing like TV this time of year.

I thought I read that Hamels doesn't expect to make the trip to Arlington. He's been slowed in ST with an injury and he's behind everyone else.

Yeah, they had a lottery for a chance to buy two tickets to opening day. Not sure how many tickets were available. I seem to remember 17,000??? I didn't win.

Tanaka is supposed to pitch the 5th inning today. I hope he's a complete bust.

He may or may not be a top of the rotation guy, but I doubt he'll be a complete bust.

I'd bet my next paycheck he's not worth 150 million.

I agree with that completely.

I guess it depends on what your definition of complete bust is.

 

[The Commish]

If anyone cares, the Yankees are on MLB Network right now. Bottom of the 4th, so I guess Tanaka should be in there soon.

 

[Justinkm83]

Miguel Alfredo Gonalez looks decent in what I'm assuming was his first outing.

I wasn't saying I think Tanaka will be a bust, but I hope for everyone on the Yankees to fail. I think they're going to win the East, unfortunately.

 

[Justinkm83]

Nevermind. I was behind live TV and he's walking everyone now. ha ha.

 

[donaldson79]

I'd bet my next paycheck he's not worth 150 million.

And I'll bet ya my next paycheck that by your next paycheck we'll have no better idea of his value.

Tanaka's line: 2IP, 2H, 3K, 0BB, 0ER, 3 fly ball outs.

That's one hell of a split finger.
