[mvp 78]

Phone battery is low and I’m several drinks in. Let’s go!!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's go! Glad I'm on mountain time. My hats off to anyone watching this live on the east coast.

 

I'm retired, so you can leave your hat on for me.

Back surgery 10 days ago... healing took a real turn for the positive... glad to relax mostly pain free and watch opening day games. Don't remember being less excited for a Sox team in a long time.... but still got a touch of opening day hope.

Damn, sorry to hear it but glad you’re feeling better!

Dude is a stud pitcher... but wanted to see better than 3 up- 3 down from the top of the lineup. Second time around they will look better! Go Sox.

My goal is to stay awake.

I second that.

Thanks man- but it's all good. It's going to take care of all sorts pain and be well worth it. I'm excited.

Bello not being able to find the strike zone isn’t a good sign. He looks rough so far.

He's so young- opening day starter- hoping it's a lot of nerves... hoping he can make it out of the first without much damage and he settles down.

[wyo-sox]

Double play to save the young pitcher- nice! ATta' boy Story.

Lucked out with the GDP. Needs to settle down. Was all over the place though.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

s***** chUMP. Didn't take long to post that.

[mvp 78]

Vanover has a wiiiiiide k zone.

[wyo-sox]

Felt like last year he had some slow starts (Bello) but got better into the 3 innning and on

[mvp 78]

Umps can’t call outside pitches because of how they set up behind the plate.

[wyo-sox]

I'm sooo ready for robot ball strike calls... at least an appeal like AAA uses.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least get Asstillo's pitch count up.

[vegasbob]

Well, it's still early. Almost a full 162 to go, less tonight's 6 outs

[wyo-sox]

Ceddanne Rafaela- welcome to pro pitching,... poor kid, lol.

Ha- true

Yes

Bello is being effective without being efficient. Playing with matches but keeping the extinguisher handy. It is a picture from last year.

 

Lots of movement on his pitches, but not much control over where it ends up.

My fear for much of this 2024 team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Viva, Valdez.

[mvp 78]

Valdez can hit

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A foul tip to the mask should improve this chUMP'S vision.
