2021 MLB Regular Season thread

Nats wait half a week to play their first game, Scherzer gives up a homer to Acuna on the second pitch.

 

It was the first pitch.

I see what Max is thinking here - grooving no-movement belt high fastballs is one strategy.

Not sure it’s a good strategy, but it is a strategy.

 

And now ...



ah-ah-ah

 

Now at 420 in his career. Does he have any shot at the Hall of Fame?

 

Miguel Cabrera hits a weak grounder to third in the ninth. Since no one was on third, it is a double play to end the inning rather than a possible RBI groundout. He stinks.

 

Now Buxton with a weak grounder to third, resulting in an out at home. If the runner had a better lead or was faster, Buxton would have an RBI and be great.

 

Where have you gone, Depeche Mode'io?

 

Akil Badoo walks it off for the Tigers with a single to right. Men on second and third, but only one run is needed. One RBI instead of two for Badoo; just think how good he could have been.

 

He'll tell you next lifetime.
