Bautista starting the season in the outfield....which means Encarnacion also known in Toronto as "E5" will playing third......throwing to Lind who is playing his first year at first.........this should work out soooo well. My Jays might just have the worst defense in the league. Snider is bad, E5 and Lind will probably be a disaster, Escobar hot dogs alot of plays and again will be throwing to Lind, Arencibia isn't really known for his defense behind the plate which leaves Hill, Davis and Bautista as the only players that I'm not concerned about.

Matt Holliday undergoes an appendectomy. Expected to miss 3-6 weeks.

Also feels like Bizarro world where Brett Myers outpitches Roy Halladay.

It's only the bottom of the 7th on opening day so I'm not Big Vito 22 panic mode, but....
I really dislike this Phillies offense. They can't hit for power anymore, which would be fine if they changed the approach at the plate. They won't change though, and still look to hit a Home Run everytime. It shows up the most with runners in scoring postion. Ryan Howard needs to be fuckin incredibly awesome this year. |

The Phillies coming back to win a game in which Roy Halladay was on the hook for the loss was the most obvious thing ever.

Now that was a great approach to have at the plate in the last few innings.

Jesus, I expected a big opening day for Doc Halladay. Instead he hurts me fantasy wise and goes 6 innings.
King Felix and the rest of my pitching staff better save my ass tonight. |

Lester is struggling with the long ball early on. Glad to see Youk and Gonzo produce right out of the gate.
God I hate having to follow live updates here at work. Should've taken a personal day. |

The good news is that he only had one walk, so it isn't as much of a control problem. But he had 0 strikeouts, and they were not swinging and missing against him. The Rangers' righties absolutely tore him up.

Phiillies to me are getting older and older. Howard, Rollins, Ibanez and Polanco (half of the lineup) are no longer young men. Rollins seems to be in serious decline.
Their pitching is going to carry them though. I think they still take the east, but their time's starting to wear thin. |

![]() Lester had the same problems last 1-2 years with long bomb hits but the Rangers favor the HR for most of the power offense last couple of years. |

Fuck. On one fantasy team the "closer run" happened too early so I punted saves and grabbed top setup guys towards the end of the draft, including Bard. That's gonna hurt my team this week.

Brian Roberts hit a ball to LF and Damon made a boneheaded play after sliding on the warning track to get to a ball he tried to lob the ball to Upton and ended up tossing it over his head into CF allowing Roberts to get to third with a 2 run triple. Roberts had he been running hard the whole time probably could have gotten all the way around on it.
Os up 4-0 on Price who looked unhittable the first 3 innings and has since come down to earth while Jeremy Guthrie has pitched 5 innings of 1 hit ball with 5 ks and no walks. |

Well, so much for regressing. John Buck grand slam. Pelfrey's only struck out two batters - Josh Johnson both times. Every other batter has been fouling off 2-strike pitches left and right, leading to Pelfrey throwing 80+ through 4.
Johnson may legit throw a no hitter. No hits through 5, looks ridiculously good. |

Jays are destroying the Twins 8-0 in the 5th.
Arencibia with his first home run and Bautista and Lind just went back to back with Lind's being an upper decker. Fuck I love my Jays line up! |

10-0 now in the 5th. Arencibia with a 2 run triple. I'm surprised he hasn't been picked by more writers as an ROTY candidate because this kid can friggen crush the ball.

Damn. Feels weird to lose on Opening Day. First time since 2005.
Not surprising though. Pelfrey always sucks against the Marlins. Good to see them show some fight in the 7th by knocking Johnson out. Not a fan of pinch-hitting Thole for Scott Hairston, who promptly K'ed. I get that Hairston mashes lefties and had a great spring - but it reeked of Jerry Manuel-esque overmanagement. Hopefully they bounce back tomorrow. |

It's so AWESOME that baseball is back...
...at this point of the season, I really don't care who wins or loses, or if my team (Cubs) looks like it's going to have a long summer... ...I just enjoy the fact that the season's underway... ...a month from now, I'll begin to actually care about the standings and all that. Right now I'm just enjoying the game. |

Ryan Dumpster has 2 levels of pitching. Decent and bad. And its very possible you will see both levels in a given game.

Drabek vs Liriano today. Arencibia, Snider and Davis out. Davis is out with an ankle injury. Jose Molina, Jayson Nix and Mike McCoy (ugh) in. Molina is going to exclusively catch Drabek and Jo Jo Reyes. When Morrow returns and Reyes gets sent down or to the pen, Molina will catch Morrow like he did last year. Farrell said at the start of spring training that Arencibia and Molina will split the duties 3 for J.P and 2 for Molina
Line up for today Y. Escobar ss A. Hill 2b J. Bautista rf A. Lind 1b E. Encarnacion dh J. Nix 3b J. Rivera lf J. Molina c M. McCoy cf Lol E5's getting a break already from third. |
