ST game one

[Heyward]

Newk on the hill....

gives up a HR on his first AB.... Again, it's no wonder AA signed Smyly lol.

 

[Hulavol]

5-2 Rays

 

[msstate7]

Newcomb with 2 Ks and 2 BB. He's ready for the season

ugh Kyle Wright, wonder why AA signed Smyly!!

I know you're (mostly) joking, but I think we're going to need all these pitchers in 2021 (and maybe more). Beyond the normal, every-year eight-or-so-deep rotation + second rotation you want to have, there's also the colossal unknown vis-à-vis workloads for pitchers readjusting to 162 after playing 60 last year.

 

[Hulavol]

Dansby knocks one in
So does Riley
Good to see !
5-4 Rays

 

[Hulavol]

Edwards gets a 1-2-3 inning ....
Entire lineup now replaced .... of note, Waters and Langliers in there...

No, some people said we shouldnt have signed Smyly. And used that money to add depth throughout the roster.

Waters with a BB and steal

Intrigued with Edwards given the questions on the RH bullpen options.

We've had some decent luck with reformation projects. Hopefully edwards or Nate Jones can be that guy this year

I'm really trying to not read too much in to a ST start, but wanted to see him look good after the dodgers abused him to end last year

that kind of abuse can lead to long term damage

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict pitching fewer innings in 2020 will lead to healthier arms in 2021.

There is a Martin on the roster, but I don't see a Luther.

Rock the Kazmar!

 

[Hulavol]

Big positives today :
Dansby getting on twice
Riley getting two hits
Langliers throwing out speedy base runner
Kazmar going deep
Davidson throwing scoreless frame
Edwards 1-2-3 inning
Waters with steal
Ender with steal
No injuries !

 

[Enscheff]

The best sign from today is Ender feeling good enough to steal a base. Ender bouncing back as a 2 win player would be a pretty big deal for this roster, and gives Pache plenty of time in AAA.

Nothing else that happened matters except for the fact that baseball has started.
