Totally missed the Dodgers and Padres play a pair of regular season games tomorrow and Thursday morning
Yeah, I met a lot of Padres fans out in Seoul, they were interesting to talk with.

Can’t remember when there's been less interest or anticipation for the Red Sox among their fans. Maybe not since the 90s? Franchise has gone Meh the last 5 years. Ticket prices way down. Fans remembering the past players more.

In the past decade or so, they've finished in last place as often as not.

Theyve been oddly cheap in keeping their home grown talent.  Betts and Bogaerts should be Red Sox

Whatever they're doing, they've become irrelevant.  

Anyway, LA's first "welcome to baseball" moment of the year - Mr Roboto Yamamoto goes 5 scoreless, just for a reliever to allow 5 runs and give the game away.  Yay, bullpens!

Joe Kelly, the arrogant, bespectacled one.  It doesn't matter if you can throw 100 mph if you suck.

I think pitching is less variable than hitting, do you agree?  if you have good pitching, it will more often be good relative to good hitting, which seems prone to slumps.

Perhaps, Mr Roboto Yamamoto should have gone 6 or 7 scoreless

hell, I've heard of complete games by reading history

With all the pitcher injuries, I don't even know how to answer the question.

Watching Jason Benetti call Opening Day for the White Sox...as the Tigers' announcer might be the biggest indictment of how poorly that franchise is run.  I'll take this absolute gift, but man, the White Sox had one of the best announcers in any sport, calling games for the hometown team he grew up cheering for.  And he gave up his dream job, not to even go work for New York or LA, but Detroit, because of how toxic that organization is
