Are the Marlins going to get a hit or not

The rich people behind home plate should be allowed to pick fish out of that aquarium to eat.

[staz]

Has a single HBP ever been the difference between a no-no and perfect game?

[SoxScout]

wow, fair ball!

[Jed Zeppelin]

Getting smacked down by Kyle Lohse. Now that is how to open a stadium in style.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

The baseball stadium did not open with a bang, but a whimper (and a garish home run monument)..

Buck doesn't wear a cap below that awful goalie mask? I hate you, John Buck.

Comcast is in the home security business? A rape joke is in there somewhere.

I AM DISAPPOINT

That would be awesome. Imagine if they did that at Hadlock with a lobster tank?

Now will someone please homer so I can see that monstrosity monstrositate itself?

Another extreme fucking pitchers park. Argh.

I thought I heard during the Yankees games there that balls fly out if you hit them right. Meanwhile, the WS champs are "doing all the little things" and winning by "playing the game the right way." Tee hee.

Is the roof open or closed today? How the park caters to hitters/pitchers could depend on if the roof is open or closed no?

[rembrat]

Stanton crushed two pitches and the park said "Nope."

Ben Cafardo ‏ @Ben_ESPN
Former Marlin and 2007 World Series MVP for the Red Sox Mike Lowell just stopped by the SNB booth, much to his former skipper Tito's delight


Lowell!

Literally my least favorite (Edit) good Redsox of this generation. I have no idea why, he just always bothered me.

Open.

This thing is gonna be an enormous bumout for the lovers of Lisa Frank Memorial Homerun Mountain.

I couldn't disagree more. He is good-looking, intelligent, played well and smart, loves his wife, gives and gives and gives to the community. If he hadn't been so slow, he'd be more or less perfect.

ARGH DAMN YOU LOMO. DAMN YOU STEROIDS TESTING.

[Rasputin]

Nice closeup on Logan Morrison as he composes tweets in his head about how much the ballpark sucks.

[rembrat]

Kyle Lohse, painting. Who woulda thought.

[staz]

Right now, somebody in my fantasy league is probably overbidding for the services of Mr. Lohse

[rembrat]

Matheny is a big man.

[Fishercat]

That was a horrid call at 1B. Yikes.

[rembrat]

Every Marlin that gets on base is talking about the park and whatever wind seems to be knocking down balls.

[mikeford]

Was that old pal Angel Hernandez blowing that first base call?

In midseason form already, impressive.

[barbed wire Bob]

Maybe they could change the name of Homerun Mountain to just Run Mountain.

[nvalvo]

Tito makes a salient point, and the rest of the booth says... nothing.

[Rasputin]

Someone splain to me why they're only playing one game, please.

Tell me it's not so they could have the world series champion play in the shiny new ballpark.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Motte...damn.

[ForceAtHome]

Tell me it's not so they could have the world series champion play in the shiny new ballpark.

I'm guessing three reasons:

1) World Series champs
2) New ballpark
3) Already in Florida which makes it feasible without terrible travel

[mikeford]

CMON GIANCARLO YOURE OUR ONLY HOPE

I would, but then I'd be lying to you.

[ypioca]

Fuck the Marlins.

[SemperFidelisSox]

No more regular season openers in Japan, followed by spring training games, followed by ONE game on opening night. It's ridiculous.

Defending champs should open the season at home in the afternoon, then a 7pm and 10 pm west coast game.

Just think, we have an off day on Friday.

[Infield Infidel]

I really enjoyed Jose Feliciano's rendition of the national anthem. Subdued and soulful. Unlike the park. Which I also like. Found it to be a funny juxtaposition

[SoxScout]

White Sox are going into the season with no set closer and Thornton, Reed, Crain, Santiago, and Jones. There is a lot of electricity in those arms (watched Jones pitch the other night, DEAR LORD).

[Gdiguy]

Santana looked pretty good for the Mets today, considering how long it's been since pitching in a real game - offspeed stuff was solid (although his FB is topping out at 89ish) until tiring & losing his control in the 5th

5 IP, 0R, 2H, 2BB (both with 2 outs in the 5th), 5k's

Masterson is just absolutely killing the Jays. Pure dominance.

Ace Masterson, supersinker.




and BABIP loves him too.

And the Cleveland bullpen gives away the Masterpiece.

It's like Justin never left Boston!

Perez makes Aceves look like Rivera in comparison.

[SoxScout]

The sooner Pestano gets that closing job the better. Perez is awful.

[derekson]

Manny Acta just intentionally walked Jose Bautista with 2 outs and runners on first and second in the top of the 12th inning.
