Opening Day at Fenway!

[Emory Eagle]

I’m gonna say something reactionary and stupid bc I can’t help myself… I don’t love all the swing and miss on fastballs in the strike zone by Gunnar today.

Jeter has five.

And he’s arguably the worst SS of all time.

Devers is just a damn good hitter.

Defensively I assume you mean.

Yikes, really bad play by Santander there. Oil up that 1st baseman's mitt.

All deserved I’m sure.

All the three outfielders misplayed a ball for Gibson today.

Frazier to Mateo to Mountcastle.  

Quick, somebody write a poem!

So, I asked the AI, and here's what it said.

Frazier to Mateo to Mountcastle,
The Orioles turning a double play,
Like a graceful dance on the infield,
In perfect sync they move and sway.

A flash of leather, a pivot and throw,
The ball flies across the diamond so,
And just like that, two outs are made,
The crowd erupts in a joyous parade.

Oh, how sweet the sound of success,
As the Orioles put on a masterclass,
In the art of turning a double play,
Frazier, Mateo, Mountcastle, hooray!

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

Might be a hat tip for the gold and fielding bible awards.  Probably see it at home opener as well.

I know we're having a lot of fun, but I'm still concerned with now two men on and our suspect bullpen.  We had a game last year against them where we went up big and they kept coming back.  We eventually won, but I wish we had scored more so far today.

I've seen Ty Wiggington at short so I wouldn't go that far.

I'm OK with Mountcastle at first.

I was thinking the same thing. Needs to shorten up, looks like he’s coming out of his shoes.

We are certainly going to find out about our pen in this game. Gotta eat 4 innings. Need Akin to eat at least two of these and give up less than a run or maybe two.
