2025 MLB running thread

[jr/shotglass]

Nationals are on their way to wasting a six-IP, one-hit, 13-K start by Mackenzie Gore. Bohm just hit a two-run double in the 10th for a 5-3 Philly lead.

Last story on CBS Evening News: the White Sox starting a new season after the debacle of 2024.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

Nice to see the Tigers on national TV for the opener and a nice touch by the Dodgers to have Kirk Gibson there. But I wish it was in April, not March

Angels need a position player to pitch to slow the mighty White Sox, who lead 8-0.
Which of those teams is worse?

I am heading out to an Opening Day house party (for the Mariners) and I am wearing a T-shirt of the FIRST PLACE Chicago White Sox!

(Probably the only day I can say that this season)

O's: Rutschman 2 HR, Mullins 2 HR, O'Neill HR, Westburg HR. 12-2 in the 8th. Day-um.

One of the guys on my trip is a writer from Toronto. We watched together on the bus where ever we were in rural Mississippi, at least until it was 6-0. Nice to see Adley get off to a great start and Eflin to prove his worth as an opening-day starter.

Tyler O'Neill didn't have no outage, baby!

O'Neill has streaks that make him look like he is headed to the Hall of Fame. He also has streaks during which he resembles a man who is picking up a baseball bat for the first time. Then he gets hurt.

 

[jr/shotglass]

Yeah, that seems to be his profile. Good thing to have Heston Kjerstad awaiting his turn.

I think my guys still get a Standings point for getting it to overtime.

The Mariners have a great opening-day tradition wherein they have a young Make a Wish Foundation child run the bases, in full uniform. Tonight it was a 9-year old girl who was absolutely wonderful, a total ham. Got a little dusty at my house.

Ichiro threw out the first pitch, to manager Dan Wilson, It was an 84-MPH heater.

Then Julio struck out on a 3-2 pitch outside the zone. Business as usual for the M's.

 

[I Should Coco]

Yes, business as usual in Seattle.

Logan Gilbert: six innings, two hits (one a solo HR), seven strikeouts.

He's losing 1-0.

 

[Bubbler]

Get used to Devin Williams, Yankees fans. He gets the job done many more times than not. You'll just be given an ulcer on a good portion of those outings.

Like most closers.

It was juicy there for a moment because when Williams can't hit the zone with the airbender, he's really vulnerable and the Brewers know that as well as any team of course. Bottom of the lineup worked him well. Close but no cigar.

I'm prepared to be patient and kind of cringe a bit as the Brewers make their way through April with Freddy Peralta and a parade of stiffs on the mound until some of the regular starters get healthy.

I am convinced that every fanbase complains about its teams closer no matter how well he does the job.
