Well it's certainly on MASN.

Ah, game thread. A respite from the sour cynicism and pointless moaning that has pervaded the main forum on this special day. 

Let's just enjoy baseball. 

I smell a win.

Mine shows both our feed and a Brewers feed.  As well as audio, which I'm listening to while waiting for the broadcast to start.

We have to win after that opening day ceremony. 

Let's Go O's!

The crowd is sparse for anything pre-2020 when it comes to the home opener. Maybe late arriving fans will come, but the outfield bleacher seats look half full at best.

Do we know if it's officially a "sellout"? Just curious.

Two fewer than usual - weams and I went every year 2009-2019 except one.  He and scOtt are having a helluva time up there today, between the music talk and the Os!

Got it now, thx.

[interloper]

Let's go Bruce.

[Il BuonO]

Already getting squeezed.

[interloper]

Beautiful change for the K. 

[justD]

That changeup to Adames didn't look like a strike until they showed the track. 

Niiiiiccceee.

[Il BuonO]

Hey, Tyler Wells had a good first inning, too.
