OPENING DAY THREAD (NON-BRAVES)

[rico43]

Had to laugh out loud. This is supposed to be the Cubs' year, and David Ross and Tommy La Stella are in the Opening Day lineup. And Mike Olt at third!

Someone flipped on the game and I just saw Heyward in a Cards jersey. I think I need to go lie down.

Life resumes.

I can't believe ST is over. I can't believe baseball is finally here. I can't believe JHey plays for the Cardinals.

Stella! deserves to be in the lineup. What's so funny about that?

 

[Dalyn]

Stella! with the first assist of the 2015 season!

 

[Hawk]

And Heyward rips a double.

Against a top notch LHP.

 

[Dalyn]

Heyward with the first run of the 2015 season! (this is going to get old fast)

Totally forgot the Cubs added Fowler this off-season. An underrated acquisition, if you ask me.

Yep. Would've looked great in CF for us.

I think La Stella will be fine for them, if not as the long-term answer at least someone who will contribute. I can't believe Mike Olt keeps getting as many chances as he seems to get though.

I would be fine with the Braves rolling the dice on him.

Olt? I'd rather bring back Mike Hessman.

I love Olt's glove. He could be a gold glover. Also is the definition of a buy low candidate.

He's just the place-holder while they ensure an extra year of contractual control over Kris Bryant.

I know it's small sample size, but you better check his fielding stats to this point in his major league and minor league career.

He's a place holder for Bryant.

 

[thewupk]

Heyward and stella with 3 hits so far

He hasnt even played 3/4 of a season tho. He has big time pop. Babip of only .203 last year which is like impossible.
