Opening Day at Fenway!

[cravens86]

Thank god that’s over 

[mrbig1]

Ball game!! Not a good win but I'll take it.

[tntoriole]

Jesus … chalk it up as a win .. maybe the ugliest O’s opening day win I can ever remember.. some realllly ugly baseball there 

[Emory Eagle]

Couldn't watch... man we were really spoiled with the BP last year.  I hate this kind of crap. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Good win, but I can't deal with this much drama every game. Need Givens and Tate to come back soon.

[foxfield]

Good win. 
 

Bullpen shaky. Adley only got one xbh. But that kid Frazier!!!!

[25 Nuggets]

Cheers, 1-0 you take it but hopefully not too many more near-meltdowns.  Here's to a fine season!

That's not on Mountcastle. 

Yeah, it kind of is. That’s a very pickable ball and he gets lazy with his technique. He just swiped at the ball. Like I said last year. When you do that you make your hands hard and he usually knocks the ball away. A Major League 1B has to pick that.

Another laugher. Nice, comfortable win to open the season.

Hope everyone has there anxiety pills this year. That was almost one of the worse losses I can remember. 

Thankfully they pulled it out, but wow. 

Total brain fart by Mateo on the throw. Not even sure how a professional major league shortstop throws that ball away. Yeah, errors are part of the game, but that was just a pucker factor choke throw.

Hooooooo weeeeeeeee 

Don't think about it too much! It's a win! lol

I was starting to get flashbacks of that Mother's Day game the Orioles blew against the Red Sox about 15 years ago.

Defense overall was pretty atrocious today.  I'll chalk it up to weather and opening day jitters.  A win is a win.

I saw Jay Gibbons lose a fly ball in the snow on an Opening Day against Cleveland.

Palmer said he asked MC what he worked on during the offseason, and Ryan said "hitting." It showed on that play.
