I think he can be had for 3 for 39 or something like that or 4 for 48.

I  know some think that he is easily replaceable. But 30 and 100 and a switch hitter does not grow on trees.

You are right!

Santander for instance has only ever hit 30 once and has never had a 100 RBI season.

Burnes, just pure domination.

[Hallas]

I haven't seen Burnes pitch much and I just noticed he's like one of the very few starters that pitches from the stretch with the bases empty.  I see it with relievers but not much from starters.  Though a lot of starters are simplifying their windup and barely take a step.

Burnes is so good!

God, this is the best opening day start(so far) I can remember in many years...I remember Sutcliffe pitched well back in the day...but not this well...

My bad - thought you were talking about Burnes.

What are the chances the pitch count will be low enough that he can go for a complete game?

I think a complete game on opening day would be incredibly cool as well as being a shot across the bows to everybody else

Damn...ive got TV technical difficulties now on the Angel broadcast..

Butnes has the Angels hitters looking silly. It's K City the last few. They were swinging like they were confused and had no idea what was coming.

75ish pitch count now.

[Natty]

Burnes looks awesome.

So when does Mike Trout formally ask to be traded? Best player of the last ten years with one career playoff appearance.

The MLB app really is worth the money for those who are outside blackout areas.  I watch every game here in the Denver area. Highly recommend it.

Anyway, I’ve gotta figure out how to capture that DMR booth time, to post here later, it was awesome.

Like zero.

 

Too many pitches already.  And its not a shutout.  If he were at like 50-55 pitches thru 5 maybe.  But pitchers are usually on a pitch count on opening day.

I forgot who I was talking to...lol

You are right! Last year he only had 95 RBIs and 28 homeruns.
