2013 MLB Game Thread

[Thunder]

In 24 hours, the Rangers and Astros kick off the season. This is the place for non Sox and Yankees game discussions, I guess.

Opening night bitches!!

[mvp 78]

Astros start their quest to lose 120+ games!

Yeah, moving to the AL West helps. They get to face the Angels, A's, and Rangers 19 times each.

[Palodios]

Anyone watching this game? Rangers getting smoked early.

Not even one game in yet, but the Astros have played a good game through 5+.

 

Their catcher Jason Castro has the looks and batting stance of Ryan Kalish - anybody else notice that?

[Palodios]

First game of the year is over, and the Astros are the best team in the MLB. Doubt that'll last too long

 

They'll always have the Opening Day Champions hats.

I wonder what the odds were on Erik Bedard getting his first career save. I'd have been rich if I could go back in time.

[italstallianion]

This isn't really game related persay but I'm not sure where else it'll go.

How the hell does anybody get a hit off of Kershaw? Guy presents the usual built in issues for LH hitters but is no bargain for a RH hitter either. He tends to keep the ball hidden behind him and by the time you get to see the ball from the right side, you have even less time to react to it. I would love to be able to say I got a foul tip off of him in 100 swings. Must be crazy tough to hit.

[Bellhorn04]

Let's get it on, people!

 

Is there any chance whatsoever that Josh Reddick is a marijuana fan?

I'm a big fan of his delivery, I always thought Brain Matusz had a similar delivery but was unable to turn it into the same success. I feel like Kershaw is one of the few that can go from success in the NL West to success in the AL East.

[Northern Star]

Toronto's PA announcer just said R.A. Dickey reached the 200 win plateau for the first time in his career last season.

 

FAIL.

[VA Sox Fan]

Also watching Guardians at Jays.

 

Nick Swisher is a gigantic douche.

Jesus. How long until he takes the field with a Cheetoh tangled up in that thing? He looks like he spent the offseason selling hemp necklaces at a convenience store in rural New Hampshire.

LMAO!!

 

Not a good look for anyone.

[Bellhorn04]

You gotta give credit to the A's, I guess, for letting him walk around like that.

[Palodios]

Yu Darvish is 7 innings deep into a perfect game. Just what the Rangers need, one of their best pitchers blowing out his elbow on the second game of the season.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well, it is Oakland. Their mayor probably looks like that.

[Station 13]

Astros are getting circumcised one inning at a time.

[RedSoxNC84]

Darvish allows a two out base hit, no more perfect game.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That is just the worst.

[Station 13]

Rangers collapsed with 1 out away, AGAIN.

[Youk Of The Nation]

MLB.com headline: "Oh No Yu Didn't". I love it.

That is hilarious.

[RedSoxNC84]

the A's are getting some work from Iwakuma.

The Harlem Shake comes to Cleveland :-)

[a700hitter]

Michael Morse of Seattle had 9 Spring Training home runs and he already has 4 home runs in 3 games.

[Youk Of The Nation]

He'll revert to normal after too long. A Morse is a Morse.
