Opening Day at Fenway!

It’s so nice to feel like the team that knows what it is doing.   Greta ABs, throwing strikes, no chasing.

My Q abt that: doesn't increasing the size of the bases also counteractively extend the reach of the baseman receiving the throw?

Yes but it’s still 4.5 inches closer from 1B to 2B.  I think the pickoff rule is the bigger factor though.

Still processing the last inning:

Frazier walk, then steal.
Mateo single, then steal.
Mullins walk, then steal.

The steals could be wild this year!

Seems like Gibson has been ahead 0-1 to every hitter.

Not sure I agree with this pitching decision.

Frazier was channeling Brian Roberts on that steal.

[NCRaven]

Reese McGuire has been awful.  Also given up 2 wild pitches.

In an 8-2 game at less than 70 pitches? He did look a little tired last inning.

Mateo makes a clean play and it's bases empty with two outs.  Really want Gibson to finish this inning.

He’s all business.  I like it.

Frazier to Mateo to Mountcastle.  

Quick, somebody write a poem!

Kyle Gibson:  "Up yours Verlander."

I’m sure this has been discussed but why is Gunnar DHing?  This better not be a regular occurrence.

I've got a quick hook.

Gibson reminds me a little of Kris Benson. Wonder what his wife looks like!!!
