This pitcher is a fucking disaster.

Also it was hilarious watching Jeter look around with a “where da fuck are all the fans?” look on his face about 5 minutes before first pitch.

Welcome to Miami home slice.

Marlins attendance will be based on how well the visiting teams fans turn out. He should be happy he's getting the Cubs today and not the A's.

LMAO at this opening the season.  Great call to feature the Marlins.

Golden boy Jeter bull shit. Anybody with a brain knows this an epic mismatch. Cubs are world series contenders. Marlins are 110 losses contenders. 

[Fozzz 152]

lmao at having Jose Urena as your opening day starter

[Hoosier Longhorn 6]

Jose who???? lol

Jose, Urena lot of trouble. 

[Hoosier Longhorn 6]

Gotta give the kid props, tied a opening day record hitting 3 batters already! Way to go kid!

[Carl Spackler 3561]

Goddammit, Lester

[InkaUtexas 26404]

Molina going deep 

[elfenix 34396]

1 pitch, 1 HR......Welcome back baseball!

1 pitch and the Marlins have been eliminated

[Goo Punch 4275]

You have to choose one defensive LF- Manny, Alfonso Soriano, or Kyle Schwarber- what...do you do?

[InkaUtexas 26404]

Manny. Just for the laughs

It's very rare that I watch an MLB game and don't know who 90% of each teams starters are.  That said, who the fuck are these guys in Marlins uniforms?  Jeter should be banned for this abortion.

[Carl Spackler 3561]

I hate to read too much into one game, but based on the decline we saw in '17 (drastic decline in WAR, WHIP jumped by .3, ERA climbed nearly two runs, BAA went up almost 50 points, etc.), I think Lester's shakiness today is something that we'll see repeated a fair amount in '18.  Dude's got nearly 2200 innings lifetime, and at some point, the wheels just start coming off.

[Underdog 28891]

Have the Pirates been eliminated from Playoff contention yet?  

A lot of good stuff on this page. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Mets looking strong. Dangerous team when everyone is healthy

[spystud13 2371]

4 blistering singles in 32 spring AB draws Ohtani the DH start

[shnsajax 3592]

Cubs Marlins game time was 3:18. But you had 12 runs, 3 hrs, and 11 walks and a fun game. Pace of play talk needs to go away.

[henrygandorf 29201]

let's play a game called "wow, he's hitting where?"

buxton is hitting 8th

granderson is hitting cleanup

carlos gomez is hitting 3rd.

what you got?

[shnsajax 3592]

Here is the guy who promised to jump into Lake Michigan if Ian Happ lead off the game with a HR.

he homered in 40% of his games last year.  not sure "unreal" is the right word.  "impressive" better describes it.

of course judge struck out on 3 pitches.  guess the tweet will come later about how hard he swung.

[Sbbruin 21938]

What's with all of the individual team threads?  I'm not going to start a Dodger thread just so I can talk to myself like Mr. Jones of Winky Dinky Dog

 

[TheFlagship 466]

Twins got Rodney’d

[Netzer 157]

That Red Sox bullpen is as clutch as Kevin Morgan's sphincter.

[Helobious 9516]

The Yankees are 1-0 for the first time since 2011. Also Stanton went yard twice. Judge went 2-4 with a double, Gardner homered, Sanchez doubled, and Sevy was lights out. The rest of the MLB is really fighting to see who finishes in 2nd place at the end, it's obvious that no one's stopping the Yankee machine this year. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Matt Davidson with 3 bombs?!

[In re UofA 29]

The Red Sox announcers are taking this hard. Joey Cora with a rough start.

[SimonBolivar 10962]

Man the AL Central is going to be trash this year. I mean it is historically too, but especially this year.

[Fozzz 152]

Four ground balls for Ohtani today?  Is he known as a ground ball hitter? 

[Scraps 13603]

Markakis walk off homer

After spring training i think they are glad he got 1 hit and made contact

[WBT 20776]

Kluber seems like he sucks?

[The Dog 44323]

Even year bullshit is back.

lad/kershaw -310 and lose.  their offense seems really weak without turner.

[Sbbruin 21938]

It’s one game.

[spystud13 2371]

For you DTV users, remember you get the whole MLB package for the first 2 weeks or so.

And for us, that one game represents the only time we will have a winning record this season.

Bring on REAL opening day and Reds baseball today!

Maybe you and that Reds fan can join forces.

[Pig Bellmont 8777]

Speaking of the Reds, Scherzer has struck out 9 of them through 4 innings so far

[shnsajax 3592]

Pirates score 4 in the top of the 9th to take a 10-6 lead, then the Tigers score 4 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it at 10. Guessing we will see more of that from both teams throughout the season.
