4/5 vs Rays: The Home Opener

[Thunder]

LHP David Price (1-0, 0.00) vs RHP Yonny Chirinos (0-0, 0.00)

 

Home Opener. Two words that can lift up even the darkest of souls, even just temporarily. Two words that re-cultivate the same eternal hope that springs anew each year. No matter your record, you are ready for your hope opener. And we're 5-1, and playing against a relief pitcher on a AAAA ball club. The Price is Right. Win. Dance. Repeat. x6. I love you, Fenway.

[Slasher9]

Price gonna prove me wrong all year i hope.

either way....Thunder getting domed up....

Expect a lot of sore muscles and cold bats today after playing in Florida since Feb. 14. It's 33 degrees right now with 30 mph winds.

 

Feels like spring to me!

Price looked damn good and confident last game. Let’s hope the same Price shows up!

[Spudboy]

It's really pretty with the Sun and all but Jesus is it blustery with the cold and wind.

Live pregame ceremonies.

Stuck in class for this one, then watching the Masters when I get out. Heading up to Boston later today though, but for an internship program tomorrow. Going to the game on Tuesday though.

Nunez looked like he was trying to field a snowball.

[Jasonbay44]

Sweet, another runner out on the basepaths.

Benni Benni Benni...where ya' goin' benni

 

I thought he was going to swim move all the way out to the left field wall

Is that knuckle curve by Price new?

[Slasher9]

Is that knuckle curve by Price new?

i dont ever remember him throwing that. Kimbrell teach it to him?

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie with a nice play to cut the ball off and keep Miller at first, then with a nice running catch.

[Maxbialystock]

Beni's CS doesn't worry me that much because our hitting is so weak. So why not gamble?

[Maxbialystock]

OK. That's officially two who don't remember seeing Price's knuckle curve before today.

Sweet, another runner out on the basepaths.

Remy is highlighting this as an area that needs improvement.

[d-money]

Hope our offense starts to hit. That's the one thing that worries me about this club.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow, that wind must be brutal. It just made Kiermaier look like an idiot.

[Slasher9]

watch out for our warning track power!!!!

[a700hitter]

That is one tough outfield for Kiermeier to get played like that.

[Jasonbay44]

JD has gotta score there

[Slasher9]

more terrible baserunning.

[a700hitter]

JD has gotta score there

Our coaches are just out there to collect equipment.

[StephenCurry30]

in june/july, that Martinez ball is a homer. jd if you guys didn't know stands for jumbo dong, and he doesn't use a bat, he hits the ball with his wiener, and when its cold, hes hitting the ball with a soft wiener in the winter its hard to generate power. when it warms up and his full boner is engaged, he'll generate more power.

[jung]

How can a team be this bad at base running? They defy coaching changes, new players.....that seem to just get swallowed up in our base running ineptitude. Not sure I have ever seen anything like it.

[StephenCurry30]

this team literally runs the bases worse than high school teams
