There goes the igs... slurp slurp slurp

I was commenting on one play - Heyward in shallow right field catching a ball with a catcher stupidly tagging running and throws a 67-hopper to home plate. It was Revere-esque.

BTW - Helluva start by Lee. Worried about Papelbon coming in to save the game, though. He hasn't looked good this spring, either.

Beautiful start from Lee.

He still didn't get shtein for run support though. They did hit a few balls hard though.

Kendrick/Lannan/Hamels against the Royals with cheese.

Nice close by Papelbon. He still scares me and not in a good way. Lee looked very good.

Poor home opener crowd gets KK tomorrow. Talk about rough springs.

correct me if im wrong but i think chase utley has knocked in all but 2 runs this year

Don Ho · April 05, 2013, 04:59:22 AM

You are correct sir! That kneeless gritty bastich is back.

Igy may be right on this one, Michael Young is going to be a big liability at third.

Wait... there are people who didn't realize that as soon as they heard about the trade?

defensively - the braves outfield > michael young

Rome · April 05, 2013, 11:48:10 AM

The arrow's pointed the wrong there, big guy.

MDS · April 05, 2013, 02:28:04 PM

michael young is ty wiggerton except he was good at one point in his career

Don Ho · April 05, 2013, 04:10:10 PM

A lotttt of young talent.

Sal Perez pretty much never swings and misses. Mike Moustakas has 30 home run power but still K's a lot/doesn't make enough contact yet. Hosmer is on his way to stardom as well. Alex Gordon used to be a top prospect but took a while to pan out.

They'd probably be playoff contenders if their pitching didn't blow so hard

Rome · April 05, 2013, 04:33:02 PM

HOF!

Don Ho · April 05, 2013, 04:37:56 PM

More Royals please!

Rome · April 05, 2013, 04:43:04 PM

Kendrick striking a pose on the longest single he'll ever hit.
