    Very tough. Just as i was typing he'd be happy to get outta there with just the one run

    Chris archer took a fair shot to the shin in the first. I thought he was in trouble there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,941 ✭✭✭krustydoyle


    Tanaka done bottom of the 3rd

    Blue Jays have released Upton Jr after trying to trade him. Surprising move.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,296 ✭✭✭Coeus


    Bumgarner in postseason form on opening day!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    A couple of exciting 9th innings last night by the looks of things.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,914 ✭✭✭✭Igotadose


    Pins and needles here till around 6.. Let's Go, Mets! Wearing my ratty Dwight Gooden shirt and my cap day cap from 2010.

    Glad to see Tanaka get knocked around heh.

    Giants blow a save on opening day. Picking up right where we left off last year.

    Some interesting match ups today. I think the Pirates could give the Red Sox plenty of trouble today.

    myself and a few friends are going to go watch some action this evening in the square ball around 6pm (near Holles street in Dublin).
    anyone with an interest is welcome to come along.

    Good place for the NFL as well I think, so maybe its an American sports type of place!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,291 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Won't be tonight but definitely interested in going for a few beers to watch baseball - haven't ever done that in Ireland!


  • Registered Users Posts: 446 ✭✭paulelectronica


    RA Dickey and Bartolo Colon both getting a good reception at Citi Field , not long now until 1st pitch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭rebelyell99


    syndegaard off to great start for the mets


  • Registered Users Posts: 446 ✭✭paulelectronica


    Great game by Syndergaard throwing 7 strike outs in 6 innings and just giving up 5 hits and 0 runs , Hansel Robles on now


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,581 ✭✭✭circular flexing


    Also saw my first intentional walk under the new rules last night during Cubs-Carindals. I didn't like it at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 446 ✭✭paulelectronica


    Ive yet to see the intentional walk rule yet , I think that MLB could have found better ways to shorten game time as intentional walks is not something that happens every game.

    Solid win for the Red Sox. Low scoring but really enjoyed the game. Watching Sandoval hustle down the base line for a hit was terrific, and was instrumental to the win in the end!

    Also learned that Gerrit Cole recently married Brandon Crawford's sister

    Anyone watching Baltimore/Toronto? Kevin Pillar on successive pitches lost grip on the bat and the bats ended up in the stands.

    They need Luis Guillorme!

    Trea, Eaton, Bryce and Murphy .. love that order.

    Solid outing by Strasbourg. Hitting was solid too and the bullpen shut it down well.

    Looking forward to the season as always :)

    Until it rips your heart out which it enevitably always does. Well it does for me anyway!

    Yeah but at least you occasionally win.

    We never win. Not even 1 round ... its soul destroying ... but maybe this year!

    Spare a thought for the friars fans!!! A nice little 14-3 tune up from Kershaw and co. It's gonna be a long long year.

    Nice start from the Dodgers. So rare that a Dodgers game is on at an accessible time, so enjoyed listening to that last night. Like the look of the team this year. Fear we'll have another injury ravaged season though

    Especially one between 2 west coast teams! I saw some of it, think it's going to be a tough division this year. My bold prediction is that the Padres won't be last this time - I think they'll surprise people this season. Off to a bad start alright but there's a lot of talent in that lineup

    Kershaw's earning more this year than the 25 on yesterday's Padres roster combined
