Hopefully either William Contreras or Shea Langeliers, but probably Alex Jackson.

Alex Jackson is listed in the starting lineup. I’m guessing they knew about this prior than an hour ago. Otherwise someone would be rushing on a flight to NY

Seems like it has been an eternity since Julio Teheran wasn't our opening day starter.

When facing deGrom, running his pitch count up and getting him out of the game ASAP is the best strategy, good start with a 20 pitch first inning

2 double plays so far

 

[Mondo Jay]

This game won't take long

 

[RubinRock]

Ump giving the pitchers the left batters box side. DeGrom is just eating it up right now too.

 

[RubinRock]

And a mammoth hit by Acuna to get the first hit!!

12 in 2nd -> 32 total
18 in 3rd - > 50 Total

If we can get deGrom out in 6 innings I would be happy with that

 

[Chewbaccer]

He was a 30 home run guy a few years ago. Low risk, I like it.

12 in 4th -> 62 total
10 in 5th -> 72 total

With first game of season still may only go one more as don’t wanna push up pitch count a ton this early in year @Chewbaccer

They said earlier they were looking at a 95 pitch limit on him possibly.

ENDER!!!!

 

[gobigred]

ENDER!!!!

Great catch!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Asking for a run is entirely too much, but can we at least get 2 baserunners this inning please?

 

[RubinRock]

Has been the picturesque Soroka outing. Good command. Great movement. Smart pitching. Nothing over powering.

 

[gobigred]

2 chances with runner in scoring position

Adams does nothing

Austin K Riley is back

 

[Chewbaccer]

If I'm Snit after the way our season ended last year with all we needing was a fly ball to win game 4 and move on, I'm benching Matt Adams there. If there's a runner on third with one out, there needs to be some kind of punishment if the batter doesn't bring that runner in.

Austin K Riley is back

At least he's working the count now.
