Hall of Famer

Comparison holds up until you get to the steals and the being like 5 years older.

[pazzo83]

Jean Machi just ran down Nolan Arenado.  What.

[houston-nat]

Who was the last starting pitcher to go 10 innings?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Nah I think I remember Hamels v Kershaw both doing that against each other a year or two ago.

Aaron Harang

[blue911]

Jeff Francoeur is batting cleanup for Philly.

[mitlen]

Who was the last starting pitcher to go 10 innings?

Nobody did it like Harvey Haddix.

[pazzo83]

I think the Giants forgot how to score.

[Kurt Studzuki]

Can't believe Kurt Suzuki's % own in fantasy is down .4% because of his slow start. He'll bounce back, people!

[MarquisDeSade]

You might not look sharp at the plate right now but you looked sharp on the jumbotron on Opening Day!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

These guys are the only sharp dressed men.

[PC]

Wash your mouth out Theo Epstein!  Comparing Kris Bryant's debut to Strasmas!!!

...and then to mispronounce his name AND be dismissive about it!

[imref]

Bryant is starting at cleanup today, only the 5th player in MLB history to debut as the cleanup hitter (anyone remember where Bryce started?)

[blue911]

7th I think

[houston-nat]

I'm gonna watch! BTW, it's the 5th player in 20 years.

Here are the only other hitters to bat cleanup in their MLB debuts in the past 20 seasons:

Jose Abreu, 2014
Barbaro Canizares, 2009
Brad Eldred, 2005 (later in his career, a Syracuse Chief)
Justin Morneau, 2003
Jeff Liefer, 1999

Yesterday Rex Hudler instructed us that sunglasses save energy because you don't have to squint

[blue911]

I think I'm a lazy squinter

[houston-nat]

Rizzo walks, here comes Kris Bryant's first AB.

[houston-nat]

Every audience member has their cell phone camera up.

[houston-nat]

Whiffs on three straight breaking balls.

The Cubs ruined him
