MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

Ian Happ just deposited the first pitch of the MLB season into the RF stands at Miami.

Not to be outdone, George Springer leads off opening day with homer for the second straight year.

EDIT: Springer is the first player to ever do that in MLB history. Wow.

Been a great day of baseball

 

[Jake]

MLB is great for obscure stats like this one: the 13 runs scored by the Pirates are the most they've scored on opening day since 1911.

Part of what makes baseball awesome.

The Orioles became the 1st team in MLB history to walk off on opening day 3 years in a row...

George Springer of the Astros homered to lead off the season in back to back years... 1st time ever

Has that ever been done before?

 

[Jake]

Has that ever been done before?

Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

 

[CFPBuckeye]

Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

I think you’re the first to even ask.

 

[BayBuck]

Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

Possibly only the team with two fullbacks, one named Branden Joe and one named Brandon Schnittker.

 

[Jake]

No hitter through 6 innings, but up to 85 pitches so Trevor Williams is pulled before his arm falls off.

Even better, the bum who got rocked in the 7th two days ago is coming in to pitch. I hate this aspect of modern baseball.

 

[Jake]

I'm already done with this guys can't even pitch 6 innings with a 4 run lead crap. But with several teams carrying 13 pitchers I guess I'll have to get used to it.

 

[Jake]

Fuck that, this is garbage baseball.

91 pitches, 9 Ks, finally allows a solo homer - all 329 feet of it down the line - so let's pull him up 5-1. Three pitching changes later it's now 5-4 and the Twins are still batting.

"Holy shit, that's 90 pitches and starting a 3rd trip through the order - gotta pull him!"
