On to Dey-twah! I heard there's snow in the forecast...

 

Win. Dance. Repeat. x3

[Wade Boggs]

Game is PPD. Will be made up on April 13th 2:05 PM.

 

I just saw on dirtdogs.com that Farrell, may still go with Wright on Friday and Erod on Saturday. Go with Porcello on Sunday. I guess he is trying 2 put Erod between Wright and Porcello. Nothing set in stone yet. They could change their mind though.

I really hate that this series is all day games. Means I'll miss 3/4 games.

Good idea to stuff the box with lefties against Fulmer. He held them to a lower OPS than righties last year, but that was fueled by an unsustainable .256 BABIP and a measly 2.31 K/BB. It will correct itself. Let's kick his ass.

[mvp 78]

I'm expecting this lineup to launch a few tomahawk cruise missiles today. Fulmer will be put on DL with whiplash.

I never understood day games during the week. Isn't that going to hurt the team's bottom line? People are working when they are playing.

It's Detroit's Opening Day.

It's Detroit's Opening Day.

 

Today is. But, how about Monday? Or the other day games this month? There is a lot of them this year and I don't see how this is good for baseball.

I know that's weird. We travel back to Boston but Detroit's game on 4/11 is another home game.

[NativeBostonian]

This isn't a good start.

[a700hitter]

Betts out again with the flu. Yaz would have played through it.

Watching Knuckleballers is very frustrating.

How about: Hanley back to first, Swihart the new DH. Swihart can hit from both sides of the plate, runs the bases ell and is a lousy fiielder. Sounds like a natural DH to me.

[Emp9]

I've already questioned Moreland in the 5 spot, was he really the best option to move up to bat clean-up?

 

Rest day for Hanley?

[a700hitter]

Moreland raked during ST, but he is getting on my nerves in the early season.

[Slasher9]

does anyone know if Directv MLB subscription still includes MLB.tv app subscription?

I think he joined the flu crew

[a700hitter]

does anyone know if Directv MLB subscription still includes MLB.tv app subscription?

Yes, it does. It takes a little looking around on the MLB.TV website to find the information. Once you find it, they ask you for your log in information for Directv and ten you have access from your phone, tablet, laptop etc.

[Emp9]

OOOHHH... Wright w/ the sneaky FB for strike 3. That was sneaky

I bet Swihart would be a better 1B than Hanley

[NativeBostonian]

Our offense so far hasn't looked too good these handful of games.

[Emp9]

That was impressive. Leon took that high pitch and gunned down the runner. sweetness.

It's early. Flu is going around. Pretty sure Mookie had flu-like symptoms on opening day, before it was full blown flu.

I'll be happy if they can take 2 out of 4 in Detroit without Mookie, Xander or Hanley

[greenwell]

This is the same Wright I remember from the first half of last year. Sometimes struggles in the first then settles down.
