I don't think he's a better defender than mcKenna.

I still can't believe the OF we've rolled out there today

Nice meatball Akin.

This is gonna be ugly

It's a Buck level defense.

This is what we deserve for trying to be cutting edge and cute with this opener BS

Me neither.  Veteranosity or something.

Following on Gameday... assume the error on Mateo was a bad relay throw to the plate that sailed or something, to allow Ramirez to go to 3rd?

Using an opener in 2023 isn't cutting edge.

Anyway this is probably just a bullpen game and not an "opener" start.

[dtk9119]

Terrible throw to home and not sure why Adley didn't move to his right to block that. They weren't getting Kwan and now might be down 2 0

[emmett16]

Bad ball by Akin.  Can’t give up a 2 base error like that.  Gotta expect ball and do your job and back up.
