Severino has legitimate #1, #2 starter potential.

Miggy rbi bingo !!!

 

[tomdalton22]

Always nice to get on the board first

 

[biggunsbob]

Saw that to many times last season. . To many dp's.

 

[tigermud]

McCannon with a closeline to second to throw Ellsbury out at second to end the inning

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was smoked.

 

[tigermud]

Kinsler has gotten off to a very nice start at the plate thus far
Upton has now k'd 6 times in 13 at bats to start the season
Hicks with a diving catch in right center robbing miggy of a hit to end the 3rd

 

[dubbsco]

McCann was blasted last year compared to Avila because he sucked at framing and having that connection with the pitchers. Know it's super early, but he looks MUCH better.

yes...it is VERY early. He has only caught 14 innings

 

[biggunsbob]

A Very unproductive at bat by McCann :/

 

[biggunsbob]

Radio broadcast team said Gose will be playing much deeper in center this year.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lay off that pitch ...

 

[biggunsbob]

My first

Flipper biscuit

of the season :/

 

[biggunsbob]

What a waste. McCann has to move the Damn runner over on second with no outs .
Cost his team a easy run. Fudge could have put them away :/

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Not a great at bat for gose either.

 

[biggunsbob]

100 pitch is a k..

Nice work Jordan.

 

[durtymrclean]

Justin Upton and contact with the baseball... LOL

 

[tomdalton22]

100 pitch is a k..

Nice work Jordan.

great start by Zimmerman. 7 innings, 2 hits and 3 walks.

 

[biggunsbob]

KA-Boom!!!!!
