Men's Baseball MLB 2018

[Nathy 78]

Tough 1st inning for Ohtani but only one score (on a wild pitch then a bad throw from the catcher).

[Nathy 78]

In the end, Ohtani threw 31 pitches, didn't make it out of the 2nd inning (the plan was for him to throw 2 innings) and gave up a HR to Broxton of the Brewers. But the Angels ended up winning 6-5 anyway. The Blue Jays lost 4-5 to the Tigers and the split-squad Dodgers lots 4-8 to the Royals and 3-9 to the Giants.

 

Today's televised games:

 

19:05 Braves @ Nationals (Kazmir - Scherzer)

19:05 Orioles @ Red Sox (Ynoa - Johnson)

19:05 Astros @ Cardinals (Cole - Mikolas)

19:05 Yankees @ Phillies (Montgomery - Nola)

19:05 Rays @ Twins (Snell - Gibson)

19:07 Tigers @ Blue Jays (Boyd - Happ)

19:10 Marlins @ Mets (Cloyd - Gsellman)

21:05 Cubs @ Giants (Tseng - Bumgarner)

21:05 Reds SS @ White Sox (Castillo - Guerrero)

21:05 Indians @ Reds SS (Bauer - Bailey)

21:10 Dodgers @ Mariners (Kershaw - Gonzales)

21:10 Padres @ Angels (Mitchell - Richards)

 

I'll watch the start of the Phillies to see Nola, then the Jays until the Dodgers game, then switch to KershGod

A lot of good pitchers made their season debuts yesterday.

• Terrible start of Spring Training for Nola: 2IP, 4H, 3ER, 3K.
• Bumgarner's start wasn't much better: 1.2IP, 4H, 2ER, 5K. The Giants lost 10-12 to the Cubs
• Greinke was a little sharper: 1.2IP, 3H, 1ER, 0K
• Scherzer was good: 2IP, 1H, 1ER, 3K
• Kershaw was perfect: 1IP, 0H, 0ER, 0K

That being said, the Dodgers still lost 0-2 to the Mariners and the Blue Jays lost a second day in a row to the Tigers, 3-6.

 

Only 3 games on TV tonight BUT Ohtani might be in the Angels' lineup as a hitter! I'll watch if that's the case. If not, I'll put the Brewers on:

 

19:05 Mets @ Astros (Syndergaard vs Verlander / nice pitching matchup)

21:05 Indians @ Brewers (Tomlin vs Guerra)

21:10 Angels @ Padres (Skaggs vs Lyles)

[Nathy 78]

Well, Ohtani was perfect as a batter yesterday, pleasure to watch! 3 walks and an rbi single

I really don't know how my White Sox are going to do this year. They have shown some progress over the last couple of years. Hopefully this year they can break out of the cellar!

Apparently Matt Olson is the 4th player in history who hit a home run on his birthday + opening day.

 

Useful stat.
