March 30, Year of our Pedro 2023, OPENING DAY

[phrenile]

Just got home from work. I take it Kluber didn’t do so well?

He was klubed like a baby seal.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Kaleb Ort, coming up short.

 

[Ale Xander]

Come on Single Christian.

What an incoming BYU freshman might say

 

[Ale Xander]

Purely Ortian

 

[glennhoffmania]

I'm gonna go watch deGrom.

 

[brandonchristensen]

ORT ORT ORT

 

[brandonchristensen]

Shouldn't have cut that even though it worked. Looked like it beat him.

 

[derekson]

When was the last time a team stole 5 bases on Opening Day?

 

[ngruz25]

Kinda feel like that throw shouldn't have been cut off.

 

[Ale Xander]

5 SB allowed

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Throw was gonna beat him

 

[Jason Bae]

Ort!

Mommy, mommy, but me an Ort license plate!

 

[Ale Xander]

Can Bleier go 2.2?

 

[jmcc5400]

Did Yoshida have him at the plate?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Ort is who we thought he was.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Ort throws lasers. Absolutely straight lasers.

 

[brandonchristensen]

1 run in 2 innings AINT BAD MR. ORT

 

[Madmartigan]

Giving up double digit runs on Opening Day, nice.

 

[derekson]

1 run in 2 innings AINT BAD MR. ORT

So far in 2023 he's our best pitcher

 

[trekfan55]

I'm gonna go watch deGrom.

Or Alcantara

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Sox have won on opening day once since 2017

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Ort, Kelly and Braiser. That just about sums up this game.

 

[Rovin Romine]

So far in 2023 he's our best pitcher

Kelly's ERA is 0.00. True fact.

 

[radsoxfan]

Did Yoshida have him at the plate?

Yup, was likely out at the plate. Yoshida was perplexed..... probably never saw that in his life in Japan.

This has been quite an ugly opening day show so far.

 

[budcrew08]

It’s not even that they lose on Opening Day, it’s how. They look awful on the mound.

 

[Auger34]

Who could have foreseen Brasier and Ort sucking?! Can’t blame Bloom for that!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Giving up double digit runs on Opening Day, nice.

A portion of the fandom's gonna have an absoltuely toxic hissy-fit melt-down over the next 48 hours.

 

[Remagellan]

Giving up double digit runs on Opening Day, nice.

It's only one game...

 

[LogansDad]

A LARGE portion of the fandom's gonna have an absoltuely toxic hissy-fit melt-down over the next 48 hours.

FTFY

[azsoxpatsfan]

That doesn’t make it not nice

 

[Archer1979]

I’m not optimistic about going wire to wire this season.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Well this sucks. How am I supposed to procrastinate at work now?

 

[mauidano]

I am already hating the Baseball Zen commercials. They are beating me over the head with them and it's only the first day of the season. Fuuuuuuuucccckkk.

 

[brandonchristensen]

hit em where they aint

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I am already hating the Baseball Zen commercials. They are beating me over the head with them and it's only the first day of the season. Fuuuuuuuucccckkk.

Idk, I’d much rather watch peaceful scenes of baseball practice than actual commercials

Always reminds me of some NMA lyrics:

You should think yourself lucky that this was done​

You'll have something you can whine about for years to come​

[Remagellan]

That doesn’t make it not nice

Never suggested otherwise.

 

[8slim]

We don't often learn much on Opening Day, but I feel confident saying that we have learned that Brasier and Ort still absolutely suck.

 

[nvalvo]

Yoshida seems to have a decent arm. He hit the cutoff man on the 7-5-4 out earlier, and he just made a nice throw to second.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wink instead of Bleier hmmm
What if we get bombed on Saturday, too?

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

The game was looking grim by the time Kluber exited, but it’s still pretty funny that the pitchers on opening day, with an off day tomorrow, are Kluber, Brasier, Ort, and Winckowski

 

[simplicio]

Idk, I’d much rather watch peaceful scenes of baseball practice than actual commercials

I just wish they'd have somebody competent do the sound design for them.

 

[mauidano]

Heavy exhale...what in the world are we doing here guys?????

 

[nvalvo]

Oof. Devers was caught on the wrong side of the runner.

 

[Remagellan]

Maybe take Pedro's name off this game thread. His name should not be associated with this travesty of a pitching effort.

 

[8slim]

Bad throw, bad cover. SOX!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Idk, I’d much rather watch peaceful scenes of baseball practice than actual commercials

Seconded. E.Hernandez and Raffy could use some Zen.

 

[ngruz25]

That's an oof.

 

[radsoxfan]

Brutal day for Raffy on D.

Glad Youk calling him out, tough error for Kike.

 

[mauidano]

I just wish they'd have somebody competent do the sound design for them.

This. It's the audio that's driving me mad.
