Methinks the Reds are wasting Chapman having him as a setup man... even if he's an elite setup man.

Maybe everyone should wait a bit before crowning Brett Lawrie as baseball Jesus.

Vin Scully's calling the Dodgers-Padres game on MLB Network.

Indians and Jays must be pretty happy they have tomorrow off, even if the losing team's fans won't be.

Choo almost gets hit in the face, after getting drilled earlier, benches clear in the bottom of the 15th

[InsideTheParker]

Ever since Tyler Kepner et al chose the Jays to finish before the Sox, we must root vigorously for their opponents. It will make a difference!

Sup with the Indians? I know Masterson was warned for coming up and in twice earlier..

Oh Christ, what happened to Kershaw? I saw he was just pinch-hit for in the 4th inning.

He was VERY under the weather Pre-game, LAD didn't want him to pitch, but Kershaw convinced them to let him pitch... So its nothing to worry about. Just the Flu.

The Marlins play in Miami last night, and Cincy this afternoon? Why?

[SoxScout]

The Rays are having a ceremony to raise a Wild Card banner.

Didn't they make rings for losing the WS?

Dunn just hit maybe the longest HR I've ever seen

[Laser Show]

So Girardi's walking Sean Rodriguez... to get to Carlos Pena?

[Laser Show]

I saw he drew a walk in his first PA. It'll be interesting to see if last year was an outlier or not.

[SoxScout]

Carlos Pena, Grand Slam

[Mystic Merlin]

That was a fucking moonshot.

[Laser Show]

That was most enjoyable. An absolute bomb.

[Mystic Merlin]

Is it just me or does Sabathia look trimmer?

[mikeford]

Adam Dunn homered on Opening Day, this is the best season ever

[canderson]

I'd pay lots of money for Sabathia and Sheilds to suck this badly all year.

[InsideTheParker]

Joe Nathan looks like a legit closer again, wish the Red Sox had one. Kinsler killed the W. Sox the way he killed the R. Sox last year. You guys love the way Wash. bunted in the first? Well, he won the game.

I'm enjoying some pitching staff schadenfreude.

What is that octopus-looking thing stenciled on the mound?

He also bunted with Kinsler after he had doubled and homered and kills Danks historically, and only won by 1.

Same thing that is dyed into the turf in CF I think.

Oh, I get it. It's the lens flare in their logotype.

Love the Orioles returning to the cartoon bird. Hate the white hats and helmets.

Yes, I should have included a smiley face. When he did it, I thought, Does he think Lewis is so dominant that one run should be enough?

[Mystic Merlin]

Maddonball.

Ran a suicide squeeze with Molina, bunted foul.

[SoxScout]

Sorry about that, Mo

Melky is a hilarious dipshit.

Should Giants fans be concerned that Lincecum was struggling to break 90 mph today?

[ThePrideofShiner]

Mark Trumbo with a throwing error on the first ball hit to him this season.

Switching positions isn't easy.

Vernon Wells had a .248 OBP last year. How.

[Andrew]

I'm utterly astonished that Bruce Chen is in the major leagues, let alone the opening day starter. I'm even more shocked to find that he's had an ERA+ above 100 the last two years.

Perhaps a bit.

His agent should probably be more concerned, since the velocity drop plus the money committed to Cain probably preclude a long-term deal for Lincecum, so he's gonna have to stay healthy till he can get to FA.

[Andrew]

I hope Morales hits a walk-off today...

[rembrat]

And jumps on to homeplate, right? Right?

I wonder how he'd react.

Bobby Valentine's Twitter bio says

Former Major League manager and ESPN baseball analyst.

Any chance he was secretly fired?

[TheYellowDart5]

Man, did Tito really think that Gordon was going to drop a bunt?

wasn't that confirmed as a fake account?


I think that was his ESPN account, since when he was hired at ESPN he was a former manager?

You're thinking of Mike Aviles? Valentine's account is verified and followed by Ravech and company.

Weaver's offspeed stuff is fucking filthy.

Look when his last tweet was... AUG, I think that was his now (defunct) twitter account, since he no longer works for ESPN
