4/6 O's vs. Rays OPENING DAY

[FlatBreezyTime]

Get on base Atkins...

He's got a good eye at the plate.

[PrivateO]

Atkins looks so familiar...

[Goober Noodles]

At least we're working some full counts. Far better at-bats this inning, excluding Pie's.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

Luke needs a haircut..

[tvz1997]

Garrett "Goober Peas" Atkins Is battling.

[nevadaO]

Good at bat by Atkins so far. He does have a pretty good eye it seems.

[SilentJames]

You know, I really hate that "starburst" thing in CF at the Trop.

[Saintbird]

Dang that was ripped.

Wow this is gonna be a LOOOOONG game thread.

Shoot, K looking.

[Scrat1]

Is it just me or does one side of Shield's beard seem unkempt, while the other is very carefully groomed?

[Goober Noodles]

Good at bat by Atkins so far. He does have a pretty good eye it seems.

Last pitch could have gone either way, IMO. Good at-bat.

Unless it's a fastball right down the middle that is... lol

[Pushmonkey]

well.. he at least made shields throw pitches.

[Palmoripken]

Tough inning though the guys were more patient with the exception of Pie.

I think it's a compass rose. Or something of that sort.

[The Rick]

Well, it was a decent patient AB for Atkins, but you've got to get the bat off your shoulder there. On a positive note, Shields is up to 28 pitches through 2--good of the O's to make him work a little after a 6 pitch first inning.
