OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: New season of plundering begins

[sovietsanta87]

A coaching staff that gets in the way of the talent on the field. All to save a few dollars. I f***ing hate this owner.

I don't really have an issue running on contact with one out.

Ball is right at the first baseman who is playing in. If it was to short or second I could maybe see it but he has a 45-50’foot throw to make

There is probably not much else you can do on that bang bang type of play, but it's just been one frustrating thing after another today. This feels almost guaranteed to end in the bottom of the 10th on something like a bloop single and wild pitch. It's the kind of game where being the home team is an extreme advantage.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Good lord this game is going to give me a heart attack, and it's only game 1 of the season

 

[sovietsanta87]

BANG

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Yeah this one has been draining. We need a 3-run HR or something.

 

[WickedWrister]

Not a good day for Cutch... what is that 4 K's?

 

[sovietsanta87]

I know he loved to take walks but come on, cutch

Davis should’ve started swinging yesterday

 

[BusinessGoose]

Ok, let's get this over... It's getting ridiculous now lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

Me watching McCutchen and Davis batting with runners on today

Nice that Triolo got an RBI, but the team ran themselves into another out on the bases again.

 

[WickedWrister]

ANOTHER out on the basepaths ffs

 

[sovietsanta87]

lmao this team and baserunning

 

[metalan2]

This team is hilarious. Once again, the worst fundamental team in the league. Every season.

I thought you said you weren't going to watch this team for a month.

I lied.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Come on boys, get 3 outs

 

[metalan2]

Triolo remains insanely clutch.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

This is not a good or nice thing to say, but I truly want Rabelo chucked off a cliff. I don't care that much about gambling on certain decisions, but after the f***ing bullshit that happened with Cruz last year, he needs to be ultimately conservative in terms of plays like that. I am glad Cruz just gave himself up, and it all starts with an idiotic play from Triolo, but man if I did not have a horrible flashback there.

 

[BusinessGoose]

YEAH BABY

WINNING RECORD, HATERS

The whole point of going on contact is you go on contact. You can't watch to see where the ball ends up as that's by definition NOT going on contact.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Hell of an opening game. Absolutely not perfect but that was a downright gutsy win.

Davis struggled at the plate but I do have to give him credit for his defense at C. He looks like he had a strong game defensively.

 

[WickedWrister]

What an effort by the bullpen

 

[sovietsanta87]

And there was nooooooooooooooo doubt about it

 

[DJ Spinoza]

That did not lack for drama, good lord. Baseball is back!

 

[td_ice]

Raise it! What a wild one.

 

[BusinessGoose]

And there was nooooooooooooooo doubt about it

I mean, there was considerable doubt lol

But jokes aside, they hit, and the group of pitchers pulled that shit out of their asses
