Haha...no one knows who is pitching for the Diamondbacks. Well, except maybe the pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta get me one of those Seaver Family Access Badges that Sarah is wearing.

Former Met and muse for Yo La Tengo, Butch Huskey makes an appearance!!!

[Edgy MD]

Butch Huskey still has that Oklahoma drawl.

[Frayed Knot]

50 years old is Butch.

Can't tell if he still has his freckles.

Steve Gelbs, king of the painfully awkward interview.

[Edgy MD]

　"Why wouldn't you have been able to do what Jackie did?"



　　"'Cuz I don't take abusive shit from white people, Steve. Why do you think?"

[Lefty Specialist]

Excellent job by Bassitt.

The gray Robinsocks look nice with the home whites.

"Those Clemson pussies can't handle our cocks"

Or so claims Gamecock fans in their disparagement of Clemson Tiger supporters.



Former poster 'Jersey Shore' was a U South Carolina grad who wrote that way back when.

My bevy of Clemson relatives might have other ideas on the subject.

[Edgy MD]

Jersey Shore. Was he the rasslin' fan?

Don't remember him being that.

IIRC his screen name pre-dated the dopey TV show so it wasn't like he was overly partial to low-brow entertainment.

[Lefty Specialist]

Scratching out runs. What a concept.

[Frayed Knot]

Looking up Billy Williams after his mention by the booth:

there were 12 consecutive seasons [1962-1973] where he played in 150 or more games including nine where he was at 160+



Talk about the best ability often being availability

What are we gonna do with McCann these next 3 years

Brandon Nimmo watching longingly out his bedroom window at Travis Jankowski having all the fun with the other kids in his place. “But, Mom, I feel fine!”



Kids, get your shots.

Or at least in the nest.

[Edgy MD]

And LINDOR becomes a rare Met to homer from both sides in the same game!

[Lefty Specialist]

Back to back and belly to belly!



I think they've Sean Reid-Foley-proofed this game.

[Willets Point]

I think we got the good Lindor this season.

Well, I don't give a damn if they put in Joely!

[Edgy MD]

Breathe slowly, Reid-Foley.

[Edgy MD]

Beer run for the Diamondbacks.

[kcmets]

Terrific day from start to finish! (except the Foley buzz kill part)



Number 42 looked particularly solid.

I'm not sure that's possible.

Later

[Lefty Specialist]

Well in the end they had, but he's on the cut-down list on May 1st.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

All in all a pretty good home opener, no? Between the weather, the ceremony, the results etc. Ranks up there with the home opener in whatever year that was when it was like 80 degrees and we won, I walked all the way home.



That was Shea in, I wanna say 2002 maybe
