Half-watching today's first game

Baltimore 5

LA Angels 1

top of the 3rd

[Edgy MD]

Surprised but kinda delighted Baltimore went ahead with the game.

[Frayed Knot]

NYY alternate O.D. starter Nestor Cortes opens their season with a 3 R / 35 pitch bottom of the 1st in Houston.



So a little bit of sunshine in our rainy day.

[Frayed Knot]

Yanx have had their share of baserunners (walks and singles) thru 4 but remain scoreless thanks to hitting

into three inning-ending GiDPs including twice with bases-loaded. 4-0 Astros, bottom 4th

[Frayed Knot]

After allowing four runs during the first trip through the lineup, Cortes settled down.

Framber Valdes for Houston never did. Nine HOU walks allowed (including one w/full bases) plus a HBP (w/full bases)



5-4 Yanx, bottom 8

[MFS62]

Two on , one out , bottom of the ninth.

C'mon Houston.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Bottom 9th, Yanx up 5-4, Clay Holmes in for the save:

Single

line-out 2nd (Altuve)

infield single (Y. Alvarez) 1st & 2nd

Single (Kyle Tucker) ... runner thrown out at the plate!! (Soto to C)

... Reviewing ...



Not overturned (correct call IMO) btw, I would NOT have sent him

- Still 1st & 2nd, Alex Bergman up w/2 outs



6-4 FC

Please arrive home safely.

Nats and Marlins go down to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, respectively, leaving the National League East winless on Day One.

[Frayed Knot]

A 9th inning PH Travis Jankowski HR for Texas ties up the Cubs in bottom 9

He had one in 247 ABs last year, and just one since a stop in Philly in 2021

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Phils bullpen giving away a 2-0 lead after Wheeler departs, now [CROSSOUT]5-2 [/CROSSOUT] 9-2 Braves in the 8th

[Frayed Knot]

The only downside for 'Lanta was that catcher Sean Murphy [CROSSOUT]appeared to injure his hand[/CROSSOUT] pulled an oblique muscle on a swing and was forced to leave the game mid-AB.

Don't pull your starting pitcher after six innings and 89 pitches when he's throwing a shutout?

Orioles, my new favorite team. Again.

Expectations are probably low
