MLB 2018 regular season thread

Adam Jones with the first walk-off homer of the season. Only required because Brach blew a save in the top of the ninth.

 

TV guys said it was supposed to be a night game, but the Warriors are playing, so no. Tomorrow is a night game.

 

"walk-off"

Release the hounds.

 

Reliever implosion!

Knebel allows the Padres dinky-dunkers to tie the game in the ninth ... banjo-hitter single, pinch-runner steals, banjo-hitter single ties it.

Red Sox give up six to the Rays in the bottom of the eighth. Bases-loaded triple from Span, followed by banjo-hitter single.

Angels "closer of the future" Bedrosian gives up tying run to A's in the seventh.

 

Good trivia if you haven't already seen the answer on the wires: George Springer is the second player to hit an Opening Day leadoff home run twice in his career. Who was the first?

 

Rickey Henderson.

 

He's on pace to hit 533 home runs this season!

 

Both my Braves and my Angels are tied at 5 in the 10th of their respective games. What are the odds of that?

Edit: Braves actually are still in the 9th. I'm rusty.

 

Even the Yankees' outs seemed to be crushed.....

 

The second goes to Nick Markakis, after the Phillies' bullpen blew a 5-0 lead. Braves win 8-5.

 

Now do the Phillies. Yikes!

 

No. Too obvious.
